its so crazy seeing you upload still, i watched your mount-vids over 10 years ago+, ill never forget the crazy one where everything dropped for you in the span of like a few weeks. And now sometimes you pop up in the feed. i hope you are doing well man
what a nice comment 💖💖
Best method for Island Expedition grind is to first knock out the 1k and 500 mount from vendor, while farming the currency you can get rng drops, then start buying the boxes once you have those two.
Just make sure the boxes you buy can drop the mounts you need. Some only drop from one specific box, but some can drop from almost any box.
got the both the 1k and 500 and only got 1 rng mount, then I opened a box and got two mounts in it, my luck was awful but box drop rates and really high
The ivory hawkstrider was A PAIN to farm in dragonflight. My pro tips would be to kill trade with a friend and reset the debuff by running into BRH (otherise need to wait 10 min per kill). There is a worldpvp zone close by that will turn this 10 min per token farm into about 2-3 min per token.
Secondly. Use the rep tokens during DMF and if you are lucky enough to stack with the anniversary buff, that will save you considerable time
Isn’t rez sickness only like 1min now?
@@spindoggytheexplorer2915 when you kill someone using the ivory talon to get the rep token, it puts a seperate debuff on the person you kill preventing you from getting another token for 10 min. Probally orignally put in place to keep you from farming the same person over and over and actually have to participate in world pvp
Let's get this man to 100k, not just for the giveaway but because this guy makes some of the best content for WoW for years now!
the absolute worst was the naz meta, where you had to tag that flying ray and kite it to the tree
The Flameward Hyppogryph mount from Cataclysm was an insane grind. I gave up on the grind six times over the past 13 years. I finally got it finished in August 2023, what a nightmare.
Really? It's just like 30 days of doing daily quests, the same as most other rep grinds
The original grind for the Winterspring Saber mount. Three quests spread out across the Winterspring zone, and you had to do them over and over and over. 5-6 hours a day, for a week as I recall.
I started in Dragonflight (playing for like 5 months now) and now have 210 mounts after pretty much only grinding mounts and other endgame stuff. Amazing how many ive gotten but still such a long way to go!
I follow I guy here on YT, Moistgemini, who got 500 mounts in 1 year, and recorded every one of them and how to get them. He got lucky here and there, but it's definitely possible
I did the Argent Tournament stuff back in the day and at the time didn't seem too terrible at all compared to some of the things that have been brought in since. I have recently concluded that the game has gotten too big with too much to do. During Wrath - which I started playing in the middle of the expansion - I was able to complete every quest, every exploration achievement, do every dungeon, and get all but a few reputations to exalted. During Cata, same again, but also got to do a little bit of raiding and a lot of PvP. Since then, I've been lucky to finish all the quests for one zone in each expansion before the next expansion is out. Forget running all the dungeons, the raids, the rep grinds, and forget trying to get into PvP or the other extra things. Right now, I've just resorted to doing a few brief daily things on select toons to slow grind out a few things I've been meaning to complete for a long time and I no longer care if I get to do PvP or dungeons or raids, it's all just too much to try to catch up on and get done.
im a new player a i kinda get the same feeling, its quite overwhelming when u just see so much stuff to do, but i just say to myself do what u like and go on like that
@@ziimbrotmg3981 If I was a new player starting now, I'd experiment with a bit of everything to start with, find what I enjoyed the most, then specialise in that. Be it dungeon and raid running; PvP in all its forms; getting into the storylines with questing and exploration; mat farming to sell at the Auction House for tons of gold; pet collecting and battling; or RPing on a roleplaying realm; they'll all level your character up and there's definitely something for everyone, but I don't think someone can do everything anymore, certainly not to any point that can be called a conclusion.
For anyone doing the falcosaur mounts, id suggest doing them all at the same time. And while you can only do 1 daily per char, you can use multiple alts to keep the chain moving. A lot of it will revolve around pet battles so you can double up since pets are shared
Same goes for leveling the followers in Nazjatar. Use three alts and do them all at the same time.
I’m not entirely sure that’s how it works though, because the criteria last I checked was the falcosaur pet has to start as the lead pet and not die during the pet battles in order for it to count, so you can’t exactly do more than one falcosaur for a single pet battle
@@madeofmeats yes you do have to swap out the falcosaur depending on what quest you are trying to do. I meant it more so once you find a winning line up for a particular quest, you swap out the falcosaur and then repeat the world quest on an alt, that way you are not re inventing the wheel. It only works for certain stages of the quest lines but there can be some efficiencies if you try to complete the 4 quest lines simultaneously. At least that is what my experience was when I got the 4 mounts.
@@theChef1337 oh gotcha, sorry for the misunderstanding
@@madeofmeats no worries. Good luck with the grind! Bless up
I miss island expeditions, the idea behind them was so solid!
Another great video!
Honorable mention, the legion class hall mounts.
I agree with this one HAHAHA
You could get most of those while trying to get the Flameward Hyppogryph from Cataclysm.
Legion class hall isnt too bad now, you dont need to do the broken shores stuff once youve done it the first time, its just the class hall quests themselves
LEGION😭😭😭😭
@@facetiouslyinsolent8313 How do you get Legion class hall mounts from Cataclysm?
Huge congratz with 100k. Keep up the good work, and keep teaching us how to get mounts;)
I started playing at the very end of BFA and I finally got the 500 mounts achievement last week!
Grats! How did you do it? I've been playing since mid WotLK and got the 400 mounts achieve a few days ago after finding one in my bag that I didn't even realise I had. I have no idea how long it had been sitting there waiting for me to click on it. 🤣
There's a guy on LLANE that sits outside SW AH on his Bloodforged Courser with loads of Giant growth on to be extra obnoxious. At first i thought it was just a horse mount. Now I know.
I REALLY want to see that spread sheet man I am literally clueless what to go for rn, I love your content!! Keep it up
same, i get overwhelmed with how many mounts are in the game
Island Expeditions mounts are gonna make me develop a gambling addiction I swear. Recently I bought a box and got the Bloodgorged bat thing mount from it and then the immediate next island I ran I got the Chasm-leaper. With renewed invigoration, I ran enough islands to buy another chest and got nothing from any of it. I’m dangerously close to the “Maybe the next one will be it and I’m quitting right before I win big” mindset taking over my body and soul
You will get them. Island mounts are brutal though. I had two days of being lucky and getting non stop mounts and 12 other days of nothing at all.
But - you will get achievements and gear to sell as well. Island expedition transmogs and gear can sell for a LOT. Don't vendor them.
I was never a huge mount collector. When something dropped for me, while in a group, I normally gave it away to friends or family who wanted it.
I do the same, and only broke that rule once in Ulduar. Not because I wanted the mount. I mean, I didn't even know a mount had dropped. all I heard in vent was, "everyone roll" so I did. figured the sooner we got done with that the sooner I could hearth out and be done with the stupid raid. When I noticed it was the mount I would have given it to a guildie who I knew wanted that mount really badly. thing is 4 or so bosses earlier she had had such a witch I thought giving her the mount would be rewarding poor behavior so I kept it for myself.
Conqueror's Scythemaw was pain to get, it deserved to have at least be honoured mentioned =)
I collect mounts, but only the ones that I want. I skip the ones I find ugly.
Island expeditions and Genesis modes were the most mind-numbing mount grinds in my opinion. Glad that's behind me.
206 reps to exalted and 939 mounts according to data for Azeroth here. I wish they would have released a 600 or 700 mount meta cheeve. Also I have 866 toys and every pet in the game to level 25 rare quality except for some early blizzcon murlocs. Nice list keep them coming. This one gave me a little PTSD remembering some of those grinds
I have two mounts left from the Argent Tournament. I also hate time and hope.
Gratz to 100k my man!
This video gave me depression, not because i'm missing the mounts but, because i'm not
Thank you for your videos! Got all these mounts except the pvp mounts and oh boy, getting all of them took a lot of time. I'm at 773 mounts at that moment and probably the worst possible mounts grind - pvp grind - is on my way >_
I literally have been playing for 18 years and JUST got the white hawkstrider from Kael'thas sunstrider from Magisters terrace. in 2024.... these rng things are stupid and very frustrating. I run most old raids and dungeons weekly still trying to get mounts and pets to drop for me. i fear some just never will, and that makes me sad.
If you do the timewalking raids it gives you a box and that’s how I got ashes and quite a few pets from that expansions raids.
I used the trial character method on a 2nd account to get the Ivory Hawkstrider. Long grind but not too painful, just killed my trial guy once every 10 minutes.
Ultramarine Qiraji Battle Tank is missing from this list
You're soooo close! Keep up the good work. 🎉
I started at the end of BFAe= (with the big XP boost so I badsically did no Legion)
I have just over 400 mounts now and have been looking for more difficult mouts so this is great. (Although admitted even thes i've done some)
The protform still scares me,
I'm almost done with the Scuttler. I just need two more weeks worth of Laboratory summons and then I can pretend Nazjatar doesn't exist.
I dont mind them except the two PVP ones. Theyre fun to me xD
okey so i have all of them apart of the prestigious courser
I am so glad you’re almost to 100k
I need that spreadsheet 😂
I did argent tournament back in wrath and got all the horde mounts, and man i thought that grind was bad. These other ones just sound super painful lol
not me triple boxing in BFA to get all the island expedition mounts, couldnt be me
i have all the mounts mentioned in the video(except 7 from Protoform Synthesis)so i guess i'm a Degen
GZ on 100k subs!
the Hand of Salaranga took me a bit as well
Hey what's your UI? love the look of it
One good thing about doing the urgent tournament though. Is that if you don't have your racial faction rep, it's easy to do both with the argent crusade. At least you don't have to turn in all those stupid bits of cloth anymore. And you only need to do it on one character now instead of each character you want those for.
Shadowlands also had a stupidly annoying achievement mount.
The one from breaking the chains.
Basically you had to do the usual rep & story, but also kill every rare in maw. The most annoying being the fallen charger with a 7h respawn time & when it does spawn you have to kill it before it completes its route or it despawns.
You also have to kill each of the tormentors. 1-2 of them spawns every 2 hours so if u rly commit to this you might be able to complete it in a day (20is hours? I donno)
Needless to say i gave up on this grind & went with the much easier recolor of the mount.
The hardest bit in this one is waiting for a very specific assault to be up with the correct quest to be offered & getting lucky with getting a quest item to drop. Luckily the quest is shareable so you can beg for the quest in the chat.
But seriously you'll be mostly just waiting for the quest to be up for months on end.
mhh i have all of them, the 500 honor one is up there for sure, but i would put the nine mount on the list and the loverocket
I'm ready for that spreadsheet
The Winterspring Frostsaber in Vanilla was a grind that nearly broke me. I did do it though!
That was an easy grind. Only took a few minutes a day for about a month. Especially since you were doing the Alliance side. Trying to do it as Horde is insane. And you get both mounts anyway.
For a truly degenerate experience, start a 2nd (and 3rd, 4th, etc) account using Recruit-A-Friend and kill your new alts while under the effect of Ivory Talon (for Aviana's Vengeance) and the Censer of Eternal Agony (or Fire Watcher's Oath) to collect Ordos' bloody coins while you grind rep. The bloody coins can be used to buy the Ashhide Mushan Beast mount.
As someone who started in dragon flight that mf otter will be mine
It will be yours!
O7 soldier, I wish you nothing but good rng and as little complications as possible (I’ve been playing over a decade and didn’t start collecting mounts until legion! Currently on my mission for the otter as well!)
Timereaver would've been high on the list, if they didn't make it so much easier to gain recently thru both Rise mythic dungeon item, as well as TW raid quests. Prior to these, think it had like 1/4000 dropchance from just spamming TWs, something I thought was just beyond bothering with, and I'm at 850+ mounts so I don't get easily pushed back.
i thought it would be impossible to get it until it dropped on my first run on Rise :)
YOU GOT 100K!!!!
the snapback is like a months of work easier than the rng shit show that is the model W
grats on 100k!!!
Congrats on 100k!
"If you've been playing for years, you got more than 500" man, I started at late classic and I got 214 mounts atm by accident.
i did all islands mounts BEFORE the buffs
never again i will do such thing
i have stared playing since late bfa and got 3/10 mounts 500 mounts, 100 rep mount and nazjater crab
Nice looking and rare mounts, but no ty! I'll stick with my 120 mounts for now 😂❤
Why remind me about protoform synthesis 😭 told myself I'll do it once it becomes easier to grind the motes this expansion. At least I got most of the lattices already
I’m not yet sure if my halfway or so completion of this list makes me a degen or a poser
About islands exp, i got 2 drop from doing the island and from like 8 box i got 3 mounts. So its been okey for me.
Damn, ive been pretty unlucky with them so far
@@Syiler I have done hundreds of islands when they were current and hundreds more since then. I only had one mount drop for me that way. I got the rest from the boxes and I have been pretty lucky. Each one took only 1-3 tries. Except for Squawks. It took me over two dozen boxes to finally get that damn parrot. And I still need about 900 doubloons to but the left over toys and pets from the vendor.
@@Syileri guess rng is my gf❤
Invincible feels like an f*ing grind... Still don't have that horse. Most of these I'm soo happy I did while it was current, that damned crab and the tournament specially. XD"
What about the Mage Tower for new players? :) 7 specs across 3-7 toons. I guess it may faster then these others.
GG for your 100k buddy
I got all my Argent Tournament mounts way back when it was current content. I have fond memories of that.
I have all these except the last one, i take pride in being a 90% Degenerate lol.
I'm ashamed that Snapback Scuttler is on the list BUT I will get it this Tuesday (01/30/24)...
Any chance you can share your Elvui profile Syiler?
Ah it's not elvui unfortunately
The BfA grind/rng mounts are certainly the worst out of them all. I loath IE's.... when it was current it was a rough go, and now it's the most boring thing to do in the game. I would love to see Blizz up the dabloons drop amounts from a min of 2 (ick) to a min of 12, and go up to 40-ish that would increase desire to do them for the caches. They also need to drastically increase the mount drop chances. I understand that BfA introduced some experimental ideas, but to have thought that the mount obtaining process was "good enough" for this feature is really frustrating.
I'm at 498 and I feel stuck. 😒
I plan to get all the argent crusade mounts AND toys AND tabards AND pets.
Bought game in sl and at 363 rn :D
Shhh! Dont let collectors and completionists hear you 😂😂😂
Till your eyes bleed I know the feeling 😂
Degenerate is a polite way of putting it. The fact that you couldn't finish most of this when the content was current just shows how inept blizz really is at this.
I did the Argent Tourney. I finished it in MoP. I hope is sinks into Azjol Nerub.
I did the island runs. Took nearly two expansions to get all the mounts and pets and gear. Blizz can go to hell.
I did Mechadone. Went back and finished it a couple months ago in Dragonflight I'm mechadone with that shit.
I did Nazjatar. Another one I finished in Dragonflight. It was even worse than Mechadone.
I still don't have all the mounts from the protoform synthesis because the plans are gated behind the raid and I don't have all the pets because one plan is in the raid and the other is from putting down a feast that I have been doing for months.
I have 100 exalted reps. Yet no one on Azeroth knows who I am every time a new expansion starts and I have to grind rep for all the same people I have already gotten rep for.
Time lost proto drake
i started in shadowlands, got ottuk carrier about few months ago, guess im a degenerate after all huh xd
your my favorite wow youtuber thank you for having a video for anything i need keep up the good work man!!!
REAL Mount Farmers did the Wintersaber grind in Vanilla.. and then again in WotLK. 🙄🙈 I’ve done the grind like 3-4 times now lmao. My favorite mount in the game, yet sadly unusable (cuz Alliance only, and flying makes ground mounts obsolete.)
You still use ground mounts in dungeons and raids at least
Theres 2 mounts on this list that I can sell that makes it 100000x easier, 1 being Island Expedition Mounts, you AFK while I run the islands, and 2, Ivory Hawkstrider, takes 20m to do. Whereas, if you were to do these Solo, you would spend hours and hours trying to get it
Those are all pretty awful. I tried to do the protoform ones, but gave up as just too damn boring.
I dont care for pvp so not going to waste my time on another horse cosmetic
Good thing im not a degen😊
I don't think you know what degenerate means lol
Degen/Degenerate has had a completely different meaning in the gaming world for a long while
Congratulations on 100k
LLets gooooooooooooo 100k
