It may be an expansion late but who cares … we got mounts.
Arv attempted to have a lineup shot. It went about as well as our regular kill shots. We did get a few dragons in one spot though.
Nice rear, Slice.
And of course my usual solo shot to show her off.
Not sure I’m a fan of the Alexstrasza-like horns, but at least it’s unique, sharing a model only with the mount dropped off of Deathwing.
Finally.
I queued for randoms in Wrath endlessly, hoping to get a Blue Drake in my Oculus goody bag. I watched others get them. Hell, I watched others get them who already *had* it and couldn’t even use it.
I queued for randoms in Cata whenever Call To Arms was up for healers, hoping for … well, anything in the way of mounts or pets. I did get some pets that I needed, but no mounts. Other people got Blue Protodrakes and the Baron’s Deathcharger … two mounts that I am still missing even after countless hours of farming.
Then, the BMAH appeared! I’ve gotten some small things from it that I had farmed for previously, like the Giant Sewer Rat. But mounts eluded me, going for far more than I could afford. Arvash paid 60k for his Blue Drake. I knew if I was patient though, eventually there would be no competition left.
Ha! Take that, Arv!
Now if only that Deathcharger would show up again.
So, last night was LBR. I guess people had a lot going on this week, but as long as there is more than one person on, we can always come up with something! So I invited Kamalia and Helke into the group and we discussed where to go. With all of us saying ‘it doesn’t matter to me, whatever you want to do is fine’ I suggested AQ since the original plan was Throne of the Winds and Kam and I were already near there. All of us still needed pets from there, and Helke had a mage to swap to so we could down Viscidus, so off we went.
First pull, a red drops.
Helke and I both had it already, but Kam still needed it. Yay Kam! She has the best mount luck, seriously.
Second pull … another red drops.
Crazy, eh? Unfortunately, the luck didn’t quite transfer over to the pets, although we did get the Anubisath Idol to drop. We also cleared the whole place, including (oh geez I almost typed Anub’arak .. what’s his name again? Oh yeah, C’Thun) the final boss, without a single death. I thought that was pretty impressive. Even though it is old content, there are a good number of things in there that can often lead to losing someone… usually in C’Thun’s stomach where you can’t even mass rez them.
Stupid me forgot to line us up for a screenshot with all our red bugs. Pretend there’s one here, ok?
Next week is Alliance side on Sunday at 8pm EST, but I will not be able to attend. I’m pretty sure Healblade will be, though, and possibly JD, too! So if you have an Alliance character at least level 60 and want to have fun in some old content, come join us! (or them. heh)
Finally, after how many years and how many lost rolls …
Big thanks to JD as well as the rest of the regular LBR crew, who insisted we run another on Alliance after we had just run it on Horde. At least with these drakes they are guaranteed, so all you have to do is keep coming back.
