I agree - there are better things out there to DW beyond Felsteel Longblades. However, with dual Agi enchants it is the best DW I’ve found for people in Kara/pre Kara. The obvious bonus is the fact you can have two oils at once, but properly enchanted it’s great for Survival.

Not to mention, you can only get the Quill once via a quest. Should you get it, then replace it later and vendor the thing, you can’t get it back. Also, you aren’t waiting on a drop you may or may not win. The Felsteels are just an option that I found, being stuck in a position where ZA is out of the question for me.

You want a hot looking rare mount? My shaman’s still rockin the old school Ivory Raptor.

Pretty much any time I’m in a major city someone will ask me how to get it. And I’ve had people compliment me in BGs as well. Quite amusing.

I love running two daggers. Double chants, double mana oil, and the stats have generally been better than whatever 2h wpn came my way. Some of the fist wpns out there look pretty cool too. Also darn fun to win that dagger drop cause the rogue who wanted it decided to party offline that night, hehe.

As for running loot auctions during Mt hyjal waves, we dont. Instead we talk thru the possible trash drops ahead of time and ask who wants what if it drops and the loot officer then just uses that list to deliver the goods, no discussion needed. Yeah, it takes a few minutes, but its worth it.

Rhust, actually Blizzard failed by implementing that mount in that way, they should have made it a random drop as all the others

@cor, a lot of things are ‘wrong’ but really, it’s not a big deal… it’s a victim-less crime… the person grinded up 5k gold, and got a bear mount, everyone in the raid maid 500g for under an hour.. everyone wins… kinda like prostitution I guess. I’d love a ZG tiger. it’s not like getting 1 mount over another makes your DPS better, or your heals bigger… it’s not the same as a piece of gear.

@Vixenytli & Chuck - mana oil works, works great… poisons do not… why? the poisons are “a chance on hit” meaning the weapon has to hit something to have a chance to proc. mana oil is just an effect… otherwise you’d see mages swinging a staff trying to get some mana back

oh, and I’d pay to see that melee mage sans-clothes of course.

I have a bunch of mana oils and (from quests) Poisons- does mana oil help when you’re not Melee-ing? does a poison? A girl needs answers here!

Aboo, this makes rare mount available to anyone who knows how to kill a mob and skin it, or herb a flower, or mine a node, or play on AH, or (list continues) and thus makes a mount, that would otherwise show that you and 9 others are good enough (read grinding T5/6 for months) to make it to that timed chest, now will make ppl think - oh, just another slacker-goldbuyer

if we follow your logic, then new arena gear items shouldn’t have personal rating requirements too, why would they, they are just pixels on screen

and all character titles should be available to anyone as soon as they create a new toon

(list continues)

I just went dual wield because I got tired of the graphic of my 2 hander. I have http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/item-info.xml?i=30881 and http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/item-info.xml?i=32945 now.

I still like the Winterspring tiger when it comes to rare-ish mounts. Its a helluva grind to get one, a long tedious grind, and i think that stands out.

One day, when i’m wandering around in full epics and I’ve got my epic flyer, i’ll go back to winterspring and grind out the rest. Until then, I’ll stick with the drunkards ram of choice, Swift Brewfest Ram!

And on another note, have recently started grinding in a dual wield combo again since Emerald Ripper dropped and no rogues were there to take it, double mana oil is great.

I’ve never seen a Warbear OR a ZG tiger, but I don’t hang out in cities looking for them either.

I’d gladly pay any amount of gold for any of the rare mounts, if I had the money. Why not? It’s imaginary money for crying out loud. And having a mount that not everyone else has does NOT make you better or “separate” you in any way shape or form from those of us who aren’t in hard-core raiding guilds. It just means you have another graphic for a mount. It doesn’t mean you play your toon better, or your daddy can whoop my daddy or any other silly thing.

It just means your mount looks different than mine. *shrugs*
