Farming and collecting various things in an MMO has to be the purest form of content. I've been unsubbed from WoW for a bit over a whole year now, but if I suddenly was forced to play I'd probably log in and do another Icecrown run to see if I get Invincible, to only then question my life after not receiving it for the millionth time... And of course be back to try next week. A potentially endless spiral into insanity :)
That being said, I'm not even that big of a collector or completionist, I just kind of go for the stuff I want. And the best experience I've probably had with that is getting Ashes of Al'ar on my second or so Kael kill, which is also my favourite mount. Kind of recall how some people at the time were ranting to me how they haven't gotten it in hundreds and hundreds of tries and just fount it funny.

glad to see you back, the first clip hurt me PHYSICALLY and emotionally, took me 4 years to get that mount
Pure comedy
Absolutely love your content! Keep it up fam
The frenzied Invicible Collector-Orc!!! X'D
Man I laughed so hard I'm sweating.
(28° degree here)
It makes me wonder: Are protective sleeves for cards truly protective, or are they a PRISON...
That pet collecting bit was meatcanyon level horror
So not horror at all?
@@turcanudan9386 WOW SO HARDCORE.
@@3lit3gn0m3 ?
Yea it reminded me the Garfield vid
The horror wasn't even the video, it was the pet-battle as a concept
1:57 I feel personally attacked.
*Leaves to go farm another set
A fellow set farmer like me, cant just get enough lol
Not even kidding I remember spending months doing balance of power for a new shield appearance only to find out that the way it sits on my back ruins the entire appearance essentially I wasted all that time for nothing
@@BKBK-yo1zz Errr... why not use the dressing room thingy with ctrl?
@@stankobarabata2406 because you can only see the standard artifact appearance with the dressing room
okay look i only do it after having the set because after awhile i notice things on the set that annoy me okay ...... its not a addiction i can quite whenever
The part about getting tired of the tmog immediately was very accurate
Indeed. Farmed a helmet for DK set for literally years... And immediately abandoned it and made another transmog.
Just like the time when I were farming a helmet for a priest...
No matter, how many times I've farmed through a gddmn tier to get my "new" set for my warr, I always ended up using the old ICC set. I don't even know whyy I was so adamant in trying at all!
i was expect "/love" for "To All The Squirrels I've Loved"
Addicted to the luck and gambling aspect of it all.
That was disturbing, thank you. Made my day.
"And now to never bring you out again.. like the rest of them"
That sums up collection of anything in WoW
I would say that the things portrayed in this video can be applied to most other MMOs as well.
@@muffetmissulena6540 Possible, I don't play other MMOs, but this is why I left WoW.. or one of the reason, so I identify it with that
@@tomasplanicka2539 I play MMO since 30 years,and i confirm,is like that in absolute all mmo.
Human are greedy "-"
yeah. i have only 1 pet that gets mainly out. and thats the darting hatchling. others get randomly rarely summoned via random favorite but mounts have bit more luck. if you have flying tag, you get summoned more frequently.
Holy crap. I gotta say, the animation keeps getting better and better with every video. Big thumbs up.
Even though I stopped collecting pets years ago, that part genuinely made me feel bad. =')
I LOVE when you take things that seem completely ordinary in the world of Azeroth and put your spin on them.
I wholeheartedly agree! that scene was genuinely horrifyingly tragic.
Please make it go away from my mind. I cant.
Same, poor Cinder Kitten QQQQQ
When the world needed him most, he returned
1:28 _"...Achievements...?"_ The whole video is awesome, but that part is just too perfect.
Love the detail of how Tirion just slowly backs away as the orc is having a mental breakdown. Great animation as usual!
cpt grim is the only part of WoW i still actively pay attention to and watch because its still fun and entertaining even without playing the game itself
Can confirm. Haven't played WoW, still hilarious.
Or paying $15 a month
Same. Farming Invincible for 1 million times brought back a bit of nostalgia - but not enough to draw me to the game anymore. Glad I've overcome that addiction... But Cpt. Grim is always hilarious!
@@tylorhobbs8920 Likewise. I was introduced to Captain Grimm due to the RUclips algorithm bringing his WoW player to FF14 video. I was instantly intrigued-I’m a FF14 player that never played WoW (and FF11 before that) and I was curious about how accurate the video was. It took me a couple weeks of steadily learning the lore, world, gameplay loops and community type but I found out the video was accurate and cleverly woven in with a great sense of humour.
But I wanted more, so I kept learning until I could easily follow the Shadowland story and thus his funny take on it. It was totally worth the effort.
A friend of mine is farming Mirmiron's Head for almost 3 years now, every week he goes there to see if he gets it...i got mine while randomly farming some tier armor sets with my brother...he really wanted me to get kicked from the guild after that.
A friend of mine cursed at me multiple times now cause he played for years and never got mounts like Invincible, Mimiron's Head and the Drake of the South winds and I got them pretty quickly. The later I actually got in my first try and thought to be 100% drop chance. My most recent mount is the Midnight from Legion Karazhan. Took me a month to get it
I got Invincible after a decent bit of farming on all my characters. A couple of years later during BfA I told a friend of mine, "Hey I've got a good feeling, let's go get you Invincible, I have a good feeling." we run it, they loot, nothing. I loot Invincible again, and trade it to them before they realize what even happened. The amount of bewildered swearing was hilarious. They joke I have a horseshoe up my ass because of my luck with mounts.
@@MrNozes Yeah, same thing happened to me back in mop when I returned after a 5 month break. Killed Houlon while exploring what the island had to offer and got it 1st try. Thought it was 100% and told my friend with whom I was on skype that I got it. Man, the cursing afterwards just made it sweeter xD.
Mimiron's Head was the only raid mount that ever dropped on me and I got it on the very first try. It still feels surreal...
It dropped for me first try before I knew mount farming was a thing so I assumed they made all old raid mounts drop 100%. I also got the clutch of Kun lai (dont actually remember the name) the same day which further reinforced my belief.
lol, the most rewarding way to get the "Going Down?" achievement is by accident, which is how I got all of mine. :D
lol i got it farming blackrock foundry one day XD
My first "Going down" was an accident. I just want to try new demonhunter class fly on mount and use a wings to land. I just forgot you can be rewarded for something like that.
these days going down? is just testament that you never did the theater of pain in shadowlands on that character. during one section of it, you fall just the amount that achievement is just given to you without any hassle 100% guaranteed. but my first one was getting it randomly when i was doing quests as druid in the demon logging area. i would remember the area if i would have the game open, but it was south of ashenvale area.
"I fear no man...but that thing..."
*looks at battle pet collector*
"It scares me."
You think this is bad?
How about you been this pet forcing to fight with team of another "pets" based on something called "balance" in something called "Peeveepee". Brrr
Dont worry, we got daddy blizz looking out for us nerfing drachryr flying speed so pet collectors wont be as powerfull
hey i'm not talking about that freak all right ? ... He's not here is he ? I need to get out of here !
The bit with Arthas getting looted and screaming like a little girl only to have it sullied by no mount drop is worth every viewing of this video lol
That orc with the face when asking: "Achievements?" still kills me till this day 1:28
Dont let Asmon see this, hes gonna brag about how he got Invincible like 8 times just cause.
For sure do not show this too Richwcampbell. Haha
@@Eaglebrace A A A A A A A
Ya but he's never gonna get the sword, so it balances out.
Dude is too busy gambling again
@@RunehearthCL unfortuantely this could be Rich or Asmon that you're refering to now :(
During WoD I went to Outland to compare them / nostalgia reasons. While there i decided to do a run through Sethekk Halls. I don't collect mount and this was my first run through since TBC. I got the mount and a guy in my guild went nuts. He said he'd been farming it weekly for years.
@@firstLast-jw7bm no life, when I used to play this game non stop I had absolutely nothing going on in my life.
Was one of the first mounts I got collecting them. I thought it had a high rate drop
@@Xplorewme You have WoW going on!
I had something similar happen in Strathholm when I got the death charger on my first run. People would message me in private and give me death threats because of it.
well he didn't farm hard enough it seems
As someone who farmed the mount for 4 years, I feel ya
....and i really am that guy who gets it on his first or second go :P
@@Stephno86 that happened to me when I was farming Ashes of Al'ar and the Antoran Charhound XD
Jesus christ. And that was fun for you?
@@yungoldman2823 did you watch the video?
@@MrLolguy93 Ashes ,midnight,Blackpaw, first go..and more but i cant think of them haha..i did get The invincible on my 2nd go....i was disapointed with the wait :P the guild collectors where PISSED!! lol
As an avid battle pet collector, I feel personally attacked.
Is he wrong thou?
So do the critters, you monster.
Youuuuuu monster
thats because you are personally attacked
Starting to think the old gods aren't some extra-terrestrial threat but a mini-Slaanesh created by the brainrot of farming collectables.
For the guy farming invincible, if only the boss would also drop a token that after collecting so many you can just exchange for the mount....like a far more successful game allows you to.
Imagine turning in a bunch of tokens and still being excited that you got it. Im sure everyone else has it too. Whats even the point.
@@SomeThyngMorbid It's hardly an achievement though, getting it simply means you got lucky nowadays. If you had it while it was relevant? Yeah, that's a flex.
Dumb luck, on the other hand, is nothing to be proud of. Who cares if everyone else has it when it is no longer relevant, lmao.
@@zhenoob do you even play wow? Turn the game on and look around at peoples mounts. You're just saying things to say them. Some of the best looking mounts are currency based and theyre never used.
@@SomeThyngMorbid Yea, I joined up late in SoO and was a casual-ish raider (heroic/mid-mythic) up till I left after downing mythic Council in Nathria.
During that time, I farmed my Invincible within 2 months on my main, while my friend who has been playing much longer than me has never gotten it despite farming it religiously on multiple toons. It felt really meaningless to me, because there was no skill involved, I just went in, 1 shot everything, and got lucky.
I believe that there should be bad luck protection for everything, which WoW did use to have with badges of justice and valour back in WotLK. My luck was so poor in the Nathria tier that I literally had not a single mythic level weapon drop (i226) for that entire tier, despite raiding mythic and clearing at least 10 M15 dungeons every week for the weekly chest. It was ridiculous, and contributed strongly to me leaving. I would probably have stayed if there was a way to buy mythic level gear with tokens, much like how you can buy Savage gear in FFXIV with enough raid tokens (1 token/boss/week).
@@zhenoob everyone who farms mounts has one that just wont drop. Ive gone years farming onyxia and i still dont have it. Id feel like i cheated if they put in bad luck protection and it dropped. But to each its own. Rng giveth and rng taketh
I'm the guy that comes in at the end!
I ran ICC a handful of times at best (outside of wotlk being current) for transmogs, got it completely unexpectedly.
Cut me off mid sentence in discord because I was momentarily flabbergasted.
My buddy in chat had just started his weekly runs of it a couple months prior so it hit extra hard.
I see myself in the pet collector and i loved it
On parle bien des mascottes et pas des mamans...right ?
@@Darzgul_YT wtf
Tu joues à WoW toi ?
@@fuzzy8889 Inside joke, Fildrong is a famous French pokemon player
when invincible finally drops; "father...is it... over"
At long last...
At long last .. he has the mount their is no reason for him to go back.
No farming forever my son
I was farming it for about 8 months. I got used to it not dropping that when i got it, it was sitting in my bag for about 4 days without me noticing it.
What is a hunter without the hunt
Thankfully I still haven’t gotten it so I get to keep torturing myself
I never played wow, but found this channel through the ffxiv communities, that said, this content is so high quality that even people with no wow experience can really appreciate it.
I’m the same in how we found Captain Grimm from his FF14 video, but I took the time to learn about WoW so I could appreciate them better. I regret nothing.
I've never been more personally attacked in my life during the first quarter of this video. It's bordering on a assassination at how accurate it is.
Know a guy who's been farming Invincible for 10 years plus, told all of us if we ever got it to just not tell him we did. He said some other choice words I can't repeat here as to why 😂😅
@@sonofthebearking3335 i have 2 friends that started playing in WoD and got it in sub 30 attempts each meanwhile i started in wrath and still dont have it... they never even use it is the worst part, its just a number to them.
To any new players to WoW, good luck becoming a collector. BEYOND overwhelming.
No one should be playing wow. You're an abuser if you do
@@magamisic5924 really your an absolute loser if you play any games, so let's enjoy them together! #losersclub
@@magamisic5924 "Abuser"? Think you mean masochist.
@Evan Shlom the countless things you'd have to farm, many on a daily or weekly lock, for abysmally low drop rates in a ton of areas throughout all expansions since vanilla.
It's beyond daunting. A colossal undertaking.
@@Beer_Wolf And it's not very rewarding, either. Maybe one of the least fun things to do, unless you do it all with someone whose company you really enjoy. Achievements were very cool back when they came out, but now...
I will never forget watching the heavenly onyx cloud serpent drop for a recruit guildie on their very first attempt. I damn near shut off my game and put my head through the wall lol.
I had spent years trying to get Mimiron's Head to no avail, yet I somehow got Ashes of Al’ar without even trying.
RNG is a fickle bitch.
I got Mimiron on 2nd or 3rd run :) , still no luck with Ashes or fkn Invincible
It took me under five runs to get BOTH the mounts from Throne of Thunder. Meanwhile I've done Return to Karazhan so many times, and still have not gotten Midnight
I think I got Ashes in less than 10 pulls. Still don't have many of 1% mounts I've been farming though.
2:09 I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. The sounds and the moans he makes are just perfect. I still love using that tmog though lol. I'd love to see this character in future videos.
Bro really summarised the whole WoW player base in just 3 minutes 💀
2:11 Most well adjusted battle pet collector
That 1% and lower mount drops is what seems to keep players still in game…
Pro tip you can achieve the falling achievement using a goblin glider kit ya still counts as falling 🤷🏻♂️
Or dropping as a druid then going back in flight mode lol
Or using a demon hunter gliding ability
Or taking the shortcut off the top of the tree in the nelf starter zone.
**laughs in Pandaren** Bouncy bouncy bouncy
Or ask a "friendly" priest for levitate
PS. There a no friendly priest.. they are all insane
- Father...Did it drops?..
- No mount drops today, my son. See you on the next week.
You know it’s going to be a great day when Grim releases a new video. Thank you, it was great. I can’t relate to that orc at the start though because I got Invincible too.
Still farming invincible myself. Last year i showed my sister how to farm it aswell,
later she texted me asking if it was this mount i meant and that she got it on her 3rd attempt.
Same thing with the legendary bow in sunwell. I took her there showing what i farmed for and it drops for her on her first visit.
Your mouth-dubbing animations have gotten insanely good over the last bunch of videos!
Bro, 2:16 so true. The animation is brutal. Respect. ♥
I really felt that at 0:16... how many years has it been
This video pretty much sums up my mount runs...
No luck at all yet on certain mount, and still this was a hilarious video...
The other collecting too...
Never thought I’d be so disturbed and entertained at the same time
Dang hats off to the pet collector. Those gross fat grunts were spot on.
Can’t agree with you more about that Invincible farm. Been farming for years and at certain points I’ve definitely lost my sanity
The same with Ashes of A'lar tried for ages to get it, gave up in the end..
Invincible in like 2 weeks of farming here.
@@Ghastly10
Would it be bad to mention I got it on 3rd kill and only kept coming back to Tempest for elusive mogs and pets? I noticed I somehow had amazing luck with rare mounts after I unsubscribed for months and came back. I suspect there is some sort of program running in the background that increases rare drop chance for returning players to give them the shot of motivation in order to keep them subscribed for longer.
"I am in this video and I don't like it."
Honestly, great job man. Especially the fact that I started watching the video when I was flying alt number 10 to ICC to start on try 247 to get Invincible got me :)
Welcome back! And I know the feeling from the first guy I farmed Ashes of A’lar since cataclysm on and off. Finally got it last year or the year before which sucks because I rarely ever play retail and play mainly classic.
I am the guy who got it first try 😉
Sorry, but the hassle to get Ashes compared to Invincible isnt the same even in the slightest. You can directly run to Kel and skip everything, in ICC you have to beat every fucking boss (at least when I did it) besides the heal boss. Sure, you could create a second account and have a 11/12 boss kill ID ready, but that will cost you 15 bucks every month extra and you need a 2nd PC/laptop for it. Though if I would want the mount no matter what Id probably pay it. ^^
My "Invicible"/Moby Dick was the Pattern for the T5 chain belt. I farmed it until some month ago since Cata/Pandaria.
BRO that face at 1:28 had me rolling! Amazing animation!
You have no idea how happy I was to see a Captain Grim upload :D
the fall achievement is actually quite easy to do. In the night elf starting area, the first big tree where all the NPCs are, has planks which go to the right side where you can jump off the spiral up-way thing. One of them has a jump that goes right between split roots which is slightly lower then other terrain. If you press jump, then aim forward into that spot - you'll get the achievement every time. I always did it for fun when I was experimenting with night elves.
I swear your editing gets better and better with every video! 🤩
Quality of these videos throughout the years has gone through the roof, so nice to see.
I made promise like 11 years ago that when I will get Invincible I will be free from WoW. Dropped last week after 11 years of waiting. Unninstalled WoW, Im free, same as Arthas. It IS really over my King.
Jesus man farming a mount you’re never gonna use for 11 years just cause lol
@@SavageGameHawk well, it only helped me to say enough. All these bizzard changes and moves. That drop only gave me peace.
Life is much better without WoW. You earned your rest.
See you in Dragonflight!!! :D
@@opo3628 I actually dont know anyone from my friends who are looking forward to Dragonflight. One of em will "complete" wrath classic, but I've never seen this little interest. Personally I'll be tending my private island in ff14.
This encapsulates me so perfectly a few years ago, I was after specific mounts, specific pets, hundreds of hours farming specific transmogs and that was my fun. Lovely!!! Masterpiece content!!!!
Farmed Invincible for 7 years on 4 different toons one a week on each.
Finally dropped, and I haven't set foot in ICC since.
i remember never having any luck with mounts but one day : Boom suddenly Time Lost Proto drake .
you vs the collector she tells you not to worry about
2:12 was this who the jailer was trying to protect everyone from? He does seem truly evil
Yep you nailed pet collectors flawlessly
This video is so good im giving it the 400% viewer retention it deserves by playing it back at 0.25 speed
The pet collector was the absoloute most accurate one
The transmog set farm is so relatable right? I mean, how can we get tired of them so fast? Dopamine is a bitch and we love it.
Awesome work man, it's great to feel we're not alone, gj!
Better story than wow's current writing team could come up with in 10 years.
😂
Your videos are great. Love your sense of humor and how well you present the characters. Keep it up man, good shit
The critter collecting bit made me feel really bad for capturing anything, let alone even fighting them in the first place :’(
Dude OMG I been watching for years and holy crap you just keep improving, amazing. Thanks for the cool vids.
My pleasure man, thank you for the support!
It took me 10 years to get Invincible… I feel his pain. Oddly enough, a friend of mine got it on his first ever run. I was soo mad 😂
i feel ya. One of my guildmate had more than 7000 runs before getting it
I got it before him, less than 200 runs. He was mad and i can't blame him
God the invincible skit reminded me of my 900+ garrosh heroic kills (sometimes I just did a weekly clear on my plate characters, some days I'd run it 10x an hour by cheesing lockouts). Never obtained tusks....
LMAO. The pet battle left me in tears, you earned a sub from me hahaha.
that poor orc will never see invincible, since it only has a chance to drop from 25m heroic, and those daggers only drop from 10m....
0:36 yeah that's not nightmarish at all
This has to be one of my favourite videos you've made yet XD
I can relate to that orc. The baron mount (blue undead horse) has never dropped for me, nor have I seen it drop. I played since classic, and I began to wonder long ago if it even existed xD
Calling it "blue undead horse" makes you not worthy to have it honestly. Casual as fuck boy.
Lich King screaming at the top of his lungs, I'm dead.
You are a genius, love all your machiminas
the ending is perfect, you're a master when it comes to animation and storytelling
you flatter me! glad you enjoyed it :)
This is inaccurate. This video needs to be over 100+ hours long.
Dude. Your content is pure gold. Keep up the good work.
Hahaha aww the pet bag portion made me laugh but also made me feel so guilty. This video felt very targeted towards my interests XD
as someone who started watching for your ffxiv content, it's good to know some experiences are universal
I wouldn't say so. When I compare FFXIV collecting to WoW I feel like FFXIV collecting actually gives you the light at the end of the tunnel while WoW just tries to see how far can they get away with abusing you.
725 mounts useable by one toon, Over 1400 unique pets, 600 toys and 30k achievement points. I was able to relate to this entire video and it’s all true lol. Perfection
Please make a part 2, i really enjoyd this video and the idea that inspired it.
Asmongold in a nutshell
10 years, still no barons death charger.
Thats exactly how i always imagined those collectors look like, when they just randomly farm things they dont want while you... REALLY want that one thing and it never drops.
The look of disgust on the guard's face when he said achievements was amazing
The animation and expressions are top-notch. Really laughed out loud a couple of times.
Absolutely amazing! My sides are always somewhere near the James Webb telescope when I see these.
I don't even play WoW (like, ever) and yet I connect with the pain you guys are going through. WoW certainly has lost its splendor, but it also paved the way for a lot of malpractice in the industry. And it keeps on giving.
Your animation rigging is getting so good. I'm proud of ya.
Thank god you're back!! Awesome as usual
Ooof, this one hits right in the soul. I had a very similar experience to the orc in the beginning, except with the Ashes of Al'ar...
You forgot the part where you have to farm transmog for weapon types that your character can’t even equip. Shoutout to the broken transmog ID system. Great video grim
All, ALL of that was terrifying!!!! Great job, thanks for the night terrors.
my pleasure!
The Invincible bit literally never gets old. Running an alt army has you just STARING at the NPCs with malicious intent.
i lost it when the pet battle guy showed up. that was too good
That black and white effect though. Super dynamic
The Batman Returns (1992) Penguin-style grunting pet collector was fucking gold. Thumbs up for that one ^^ I really hope that's where you got the inspiration.
That scene where that tauren smacked the ground and I saw his broken fingers and limbs gave me aches all over.
face animation of grunt when he said achievements is veeerey goood :D perfect face expression
