Im now 51 years old. I havent played WoW since before the release of Pandaren, so spring 2013 something. I played the Vanilla first, or me and my son did, and then we bought The Burning Crusade and I was hooked to this game, I LOVED IT! As the old fart I am I loved to play hunter. I tried others but hunter, wow, that was the class for me. I left my last character, a female trollhunter named Looferr lvl 85, standing in Orgrimmar. All purples, great at Dps and with a lot of stuff gathered over the years. I have a nightelf hunter to, my first char, named RodeOrm. He stands in Stormwind at lvl 80 i think. Great times and much fun! And now to the mounts. I have a few of those you counted in your video. The tigers who was a real s.o.b to get as you said. Skinning and leatherwork got them for me. I got the brewfest Ram. I also got the headless horsemans horse and a holiday reindeer, both flymounts. I was lucky with the drop on the reindeer, we all wanted It and i got It. You had to do a holiday dungeon of some sort to get it and It didnt drop that often! I remember one time I was killing regular npc:s outside Booty Bay and I got my hands on my first epic item, a staff I could´nt use so I sold it and got 100G. That was a lot of money back then for my lvl 40 something hunter. That was the most crasy drop i ever got, The Staff of Jordan, It was just from a regular pirate outside Booty Bay! :) www.wowhead.com/item=873/staff-of-jordan Ive got a cold and have been watching your videos for two days now and I get soo tempted to start my account up again!

The only world epic drop I ever got was also the Staff of Jordan. (Dropped in Azshara) It was a fairly common epic drop apparently, as far as commonality goes with epic world drops. Made me limp pretty fast, sold for only 65 G lol

MadSeasonShow I recently got the fire hawk mount from Ragnaros. Idk why I said that I just got so happy after farming a lot in raids and not getting anything
I believe there were some armorless horses the alliance got, which got some updated models and the player was able to choose between keeping their armorless horse or replacing it with the new armored ones. Shortly after the armorless horses were no longer available, replaced by the new armored counterparts.
I think that, for the trial of the grand crusader 10 man version mounts(swift horde wolf), the mounts were not a reward for tribute to immortality(completing the raid without a single death), but rather tribute to insanity, which only required to finish the raid with 50 attempts left.
And the horde wolf you get from that, the eyes on the wolf was red from the start and blizzard change the eyes to green some patch later, dont know the reason tho, maby they change it back.
Dude, thank you so much. I am a long-time alliance player that had Horde mains at one point. When the Horde won the Chopper I remember loving it, but when I switched back to the Alliance, I never knew you could buy the Alliance Chopper still...so I officially have one as of right now thanks to you! Awesome!
Part of me feels a bit of pain to return to this channel, one of the main ones that kept me hooked to WoW. But it keeps a smile on my face to once again hear the glorious Monotone voice of MadSeasonShow. A salute to your Warcraft Legacy my friend, _dawns a Helm of endless rage and a Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros._ see you in the next mmo "KingSeasonShow"
do you actually think that horses are cool mounts? then BFA will be your favourite expansion with more horses than you can imagine. ps: mounts are still cool. expectations just rise over the expansions. we don't want to tigers when we can have stuff that can fly. tiger with wings is a great compromise tho.
Mounts doesn't need to be able to fly to be cool. My favorite mounts are ground mounts like Midnight, Zulian tiger, the infernal mounts from guldan and the flametalon mounts.
I got the Swift Horde Wolf by accident! Tanked a 10m ToC and we smashed it in less than two hours and we had this chest at the end. Didn't know a mount dropped but rolled and won! Best luck ever the wolf is a killer mount!
A few months ago I encountered a player by several occasions while doing random battlegrounds. He had the Ancient Frostsaber (it does not have stripes, it’s just white with a purple saddle). I had never seen an old epic mount in game before, so I got a bit excited and whispered him. He told me he rarely got asked about it because people just don’t know what is is and the rarity of it. He also told me he believed he and another player from an American server were the only two who still had one (with active accounts). Later on, completely random, I got recommended a video here on RUclips of a someone selling their account, and it was him. It revealed that he also had the Black Ram, which means he obtained two epic mounts before patch 1.4 and decided not to turn them in. He also had the Corrupted Ashbringer, the AQ mount and a lot of other cool items, like the Icebane Plate-set from Naxxramas 40. Probably the most valuable account to this day.
About the gladiator mounts, when they first came in Burning Crusade then the Gladiator dragons were the only ones with a speed of 310% (Ashes might've had that too, I don't remember well. But the part about the glad drakes I remember very well.).
I remember, the last day you could get the armani war bear, it was MY turn to receive it. But exactly at that run we failed... I never received the mount after helping so many others :/ Damn it!
@@NVNNN I feel sorry for you. Obviously you either have many people in your life who have lied to you or your a compulsive liar yourself so you think everyone else is lying. That's gotta be a sad life huh?
I remember getting my core hound. I played during vanilla and remembered every fight in MC. I was a noob back then and I had never led a raid in my life, but I took the wheel during the LFR MC, taking time to explain to everyone what they needed to do from memory (I know it's easy to look at addons and everything). Slowly leading a group of 40 idiots to victory and getting complimented afterwards for the smooth run definitely was a great experience. You could call it a "core" memory hueheuheuheuhe....
Got my Swift Zulian Tiger back in 2009 and it's still the only ground mount I use to this day. Wish there was a way to see how many miles I've rode it.
I also have it, although I haven't played since early WoD. Got it just before Cata launched, spending countless tries soloing ZG as a rogue. From that point on, it was my only ground mount used.
7:44 that's actually incorrect, this is how a CM described it. In-game item for in-game gold = okay Out of game item for out of game currency = okay In-game item for out of game currency = Not permitted Out of game item/service for in-game currency = Not permitted When a TCG Loot Card is obtained, it will have a code printed on the physical card. This code is considered as a real life item, and thus may not be sold for in-game currency as stated in the policy, but it can be bought with out of game currency (money). However, when you want to get the actual item in-game, you will have to redeem the code on the Blizzard Promotion page The page requires you to select a realm to redeem the loot code on. After successfully redeeming a code, you will be provided by another code: the in-game code. Which is allowed to be bought with in-game currency (gold) us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/1922566723?page=1#12
I know, I'm just saying that MadSeason says very correctly that the Ancient Frostsaber is an Unobtainable mount but he mistakenly shows the wrong Frostsaber mount, the one with stripes.
MageTower Mania I know. Thats why I said that he might had problems searching for the model. You have NPCs riding Black Nightsabers in darnassus for example, but the Ancient one cant be found anywhere ingame
Boy am I glad to have done season 2 of the brawl pub! I had no idea you couldn’t get the basilisk anymore. It’s pretty cool to know I own an unobtainable mount
These retrospectives are much more enjoyable than the videos focused on more modern content. There are a million people going over the new stuff. There are very few who were both present during the early game, and knowledgeable enough to make enjoyable videos about the early game. More like this MadSeason! You rule.
The coolest things about these mounts, is how the hell people figured this stuff out without online databases and youtube. You were in awe if you ever saw one of these mounts. They were constantly asked how they did it. I knew a guy who didn't use his because he was spammed by people asking how he got it all the time, LOL. One of those things which made the game feel truly alive and unique. You could only salute those smart enough to figure all this out on their own. It's not possible to compare to todays culture when you can just look something up. If you were lucky enough to know one of these sages with the secret knowledge how to get one of these mounts, you were struck with the INSANE grind involved. It didn't seem feasible. But the madlads did it. Salute
Dude if I'm thinking about wow at night I put your video on and they put me to sleep. It's like water noises for people with sleep issues lol. Awesome vids btw
3:20 also don't forget about the weight limit. Cows couldn't ride Raptors or UD mounts because we were so damn heavy. The ZG Raptor mount was the only one we could use during most of vanilla. Think they got rid of the restrictions in the pre BC patch.
The Wolf and Moose both where on the 2nd hardest difficulty. During MoP it went LFR - Flex - Normal - Heroic During WoD it went LFR - Normal - Heroic - Mythic So both mounts where just as hard to achieve. Both mounts came from getting the "Ahead of the Curve" achievement.
The ZG mount removal was the worst. I farmed both of those for so long and never got them. Still farming for the panther now but I really would’ve liked to get that tiger.
If I remember correctly the Brewfest Kodo was a rare drop in the mini instance you could run daily in BRD. I just know one of my guild mates had it in BC and I was so jealous. I had the ram, but since bag/bank space was at a premium I eventually deleted it since I never rode it.
The brewfest kodo is real i am riding on it right now! You are missing a couple of promotional/ recruit a friend once like the Zevra / obsidian Nighwing and Emerald Hippogryph.
small correction thou the orginal amani bear was removed start of wrath as a timed run reward, also the ToC mount not only required you to clear it without anyone dying, it also had to be on your first try of the week
Hello, I've been bingewatching all your videoes for the last couple days, I have to say, you are amazing on making content :) I've myself quit WoW about 2 years ago, played since closed beta. And some of your content really makes me smile, cus of the nostalgia, I really miss the old days.. Ah well :) Keep it up! Will continue to watch your videoes!
@ 19:45 you mention the Brewfest kodo and how it was never implemented into the game? I actually acquired that mount a few years ago, its one of my favorite mounts! Only difference between the one you displayed and mine is that my Kudo has 2 beer kegs attached to its back,. Otherwise its identical
You actually got both plaguebat and hyppo if you completed BFA prepatch event as any faction. Still, they are faction locked, so you can only use them on their respective factions.
If the whole thing was legal 15K would be a steal at that price for a one-off mount. You would definitely be able to sell it for four times as much today (if Blizzard actually allowed this sort of thing).
Great video. Just some clarification on some infos that were presented wrong. The korkron warwolf was indeed obtainable in SoO Normal, but at the time, the progression were LFR > Flex > Normal > Heroic, then in that prepatch they renamed them for LFR > Normal > Heroic > Mythic, with some added flexibility in the number of players envolved, essentially turning the old "normal" easier, as it was 10 and 25 only. And differently from this prepatch, the korkron warwolf and the feat of strenght could not be obtained. Therefore, Blizzard never raised minimum required for acquiring the final boss mount to Heroic, just renamed it in MoP - WoD Pre-patch
Would be cool if they made it so that you could obtain old mounts from wow classic. Would make it worth to play. Now I just feel like I would be literally wasting my time if I played it.
Oh wow I thought the primal flamesaber was just a normal promotional mount not a rare one because that was when I got blizzard XD, I played heroes a lot in 2017
He is probably referencing the vanilla and TBC era battlegrounds in which alliance would win most of the matches. Also his main is a human. :) As far as i'm concerend "Horde rulez, ally droolz!"
Hrm. On Tich, the best PvP guild was horde, and most of the big names in PvP were horde, not ally. Ally weren't slouches, and had a couple notables, but there were PvP guilds transferring to Horde side Tich in vanilla for the competitive PvP scene there. I guess it all depends on your server.
My scoreboard TL;DR the first one is the only of note. Brewfest Ram. My hunter had just hit 40 and it was brewfest so I figured why not? Amani War Bear. I don't actually have this but I do have a story for it. I bought a carry run that I saved for months for 6000g... which was a lot back then. The carry failed. And it was the last week. Fuck the Guild Avast [who are one of the only Australian top 10 guilds]. Big Blizzard Bear. ARGH!!!! I SHOULD have this... I bought the Blizzcon virtual ticket which came with a code. I never received the code. My friend did. Fuck my friend. Spectral Gryphon/Wyvern. I just re-up'd my old RaF account. Tyrael's Charger. Is my paladin's mount. Kor'Kron War Wolf. I paniced because I didn't know about this. Just checked, I do have it. Few... Pheonix mounts. Bought carries. Chalanger';s War Yeti. Same. Choppers. For the Horde! [note, I don't have the alliance version. But I'm rich now so I'ma go buy it.] Corehound. obvs. Grove Warden. Paid 50k for a carry... Primal Flame Saber . I play a ton of HotS anyway. Violet Spellwing. Paid 10k... not sure why it was cheaper. War of Thorns mounts. Duh.
Just asked in trade chat and bought with gold. Despite how much I hate Avast [screw them seriously] it's good to be on a realm with a top 10 guild. Also bought a M+15 carry a few months back for the artifact skin. It's even easier now because you can just search in the group finder for carry or selling. There's even pseudo cross realm gold/real money transfer now by they just make an lv1 toon on your realm, you give them gold for a token, they buy it and they get the money.
As a black battle tank owner I can tell ya... I get at least 1 whisper message "where can I get this mount!?" in every damn battleground... tzz wow players these days...
Augustin Boustoure He doesnt have it or is a scub from Level 80. He got it 2 expansions later by transferring to a new realm and opening it there. He finished it at 80, because a failure couldnt do it at 60 as it was only available for the chosen elites. And you are complaining about people praising your mount. You dont even deserve it, let alone get praises for it.
-Genes- They nerfed the drop rates in WotLK and you could do most stuff solo. If not solo, you would need a party with 5 people at max. It was way easier at 80.
Been playing since vanilla and I've always been horrible at keeping up with anything new-content related. But thanks to your video I got the hippogryph mount from BFA pre-patch mere minutes before the actual BFA release. Thanks!
@@Paparoach101 So that confirms you are from 80. I have no reason to be jelly since Ive obtained mine in Classic/2006 where only 2 got it and took blood sweat and tears. A 80 one shouldnt be proud. Especially if he cleans up the dirt left behind by originals.
I think youre wrong at 2:09 ref NE mounts. As far as I remember, the choice was either an entirely white or black mount. The stripey one was a normal level 40 mount.
@@johnnyjoestar7595 Not what I meant. Nothing should be handed to the player. Exclusive items are items that are no longer obtainable, due to being removed. Nothing should ever be removed.
Jamie S Thats not a good mindset to have. You also cannot alow any casual to have something you grinded and worked hard for. Thats the beauty of those mounts. They are removed because otherwise they would be to easy to farm. Thats the problem with WoW nowadays. Nothing is exclusive anymore. I disagree with your post
@@chaosd.emperor7462 No please listen, farmable items are fine, shit like scarab lord mount that cannot be obtained is bad. There is never an excuse to remove content, instead they should move content. Take scarab mount, they should have prized that to the first people to complete the quest line sure, but instead of removing it, a year or so later they could have made it a rare drop. This gets people doing content, doing raids. Removing anything from the game is a big fuck you to all future players.
Jamie S Nope. Im a Scarab Lord, and seeing that mount as a rare drop would make me quit the game. You are clueless about the effort and dedication people put into a unobtainable mount. Moving the content would be impossible while making it obtainable again. And moving it as a drop is the worst thing possible. You basically remove the initial conditions onto how to get the mount. There are plenty of reasons to make a player doing content and raid for mounts. But adding removeable precious mounts as drops is by far the weakest possible way ever, especially later on, on a higher level where every unknown uneducated player could get one. Just like you said... it would mean a big FUCK YOU to the players who got it the original way.
I remember the grind to get my brewfest ram mount the first brewfest. I woke up every day before school and made sure to get a certain amount of tickets per day to get it.
Bit of a correction with the Grove Warden and Violet Spellwing: both of those mounts were available through the prepatch, they were only/are only going to be removed with the launch of each expansion. It's a pretty big misconception on the internet that these mounts get removed with the prepatch it seems like, but I know from personal experience that they're available until the next expansion launches as I've gotten both in the respective prepatches. That means that, as of writing this comment, you have 4 more days to get Violet Spellwing if you still don't have it. I'm not sure whether the SoO mount was available in the Warlord's prepatch though. Another slight correction, albeit a very slight one: you obtain both the Undercity Plaguebat and the Teldrassil Hippogryph for doing either the Alliance or Horde prepatch quests up to the burning of Teldrassil. This one is incredibly easy to miss, as it doesn't seem that Blizzard has mentioned anywhere that this is the case and the only mention of it that I can find online is one comment on a forum post. I only found this out myself when I went to do the quest with an Alliance toon and the Teldrassil Hippogryph popped up when I went to mount up halfway through the quest chain.
Ancient Frost saber is not the original one. It was looking like the nightsaber except it was solid white (instead of black) =) Don't recall it's name exactly though! 02:11 Also forgot Baron Rivendare's mount for Vanilla ^_^
- Phoenixes. Just a small addition to it, that in later patches even tho anyone finished just once receiving silver medals in MoP, he or she got all 4 mounts. - The Core Hound. As a matter or fact it was not like "super hard" or "too hard for lfr" itself. The problem was within the players. They did not know some of the forgotten buttons like "decurse". Oh, yeah, not to mention the time spent in the queue. I waited for like 20 hours (not sitting by the computer, no) on russian servers. And we spent 4 hours to clear the whole raid. But the most upsetting mistake was LOOTING ANYTHING. There was a bug/glitch/whatever you call it, that occured when somebody tried to loot mobs - and it actually disbanded the whole raid, so the players were to wait in the queue again and to pray for nobody to freaking loot anything. - The moose. They did not make it harder to get by bumping up the requirements to heroic. When the Draenor was out, they revamped the raid ranking. The "Flex"(when the HP and damage of the bosses changed depending on the amount of people in a raid) that we knew in MoP became "Normal" in WoD. Normal became Heroic, and Heroic became Mythic difficulty. This is about the raids, so technically it was the same normal mode.
great video, however the violet spellwing is still obtainable right now in the pre-patch, as it isn't tied to AoTC, but rather an item that drops from argus that starts a quest to get the mount. a buddy of mine resubbed and got his yesterday. it will be going away though next week when BFA launches, and will be unobtainable.
Kind of hoping some of the older mounts become available again with Classic's release. Would be nice to get them, even if they don't carry over to current WoW mount tab. Actually, thinking about it, if Blizz wants Classic to succeed, they could make any mounts you get carry over to the mount tab on live. That way you'd get more interest in Classic from collectors. Knowing Blizz though, I suspect they'd keep them separate, but "allow" you to buy a character transfer (with mount) from Classic to Live. Guess we'll have to wait and see what they do, if anything.
I farmed ZG every week up until Cata launch and never got the tiger. This video reminded me and now I'm pissed
I got that tiger during Wod so i really doubt that its been removed.
The original mounts were removed and replaced with different mounts. That information is in the video...
The tiger can be found in Unclaimed Black Market containers which usually go for ridiculous amounts of gold and most of the time contain rubbish
Same, no luck with drops. I am also farming Attumen every week on 10 chars for years and no luck. That shit is super rare.
Dropped for me on my 4th try. My only claim to fame :(

Yo yo yo you know the brewfest kodo mount was actually obtainable correct? It sounded like you thought it was never implemented in game.
@Tony Stoddard There's two different brewfest kodos. Only the "Great Brewfest Kodo" is in-game as far as I know
I believe there were some armorless horses the alliance got, which got some updated models and the player was able to choose between keeping their armorless horse or replacing it with the new armored ones. Shortly after the armorless horses were no longer available, replaced by the new armored counterparts.

10:56 I love these horses. I remember the time well, and i really enjoyed this era of he game. Cool mounts, with a cool theme to them.
do you actually think that horses are cool mounts?
then BFA will be your favourite expansion with more horses than you can imagine.
ps: mounts are still cool. expectations just rise over the expansions.
we don't want to tigers when we can have stuff that can fly. tiger with wings is a great compromise tho.
Mounts doesn't need to be able to fly to be cool. My favorite mounts are ground mounts like Midnight, Zulian tiger, the infernal mounts from guldan and the flametalon mounts.
@@robertg7249 How about a Flying Elephant with working Rocket Pods on it😁
I got the Swift Horde Wolf by accident! Tanked a 10m ToC and we smashed it in less than two hours and we had this chest at the end. Didn't know a mount dropped but rolled and won! Best luck ever the wolf is a killer mount!
Probably one of the best mounts, will be awesome to ride on in BFA
A few months ago I encountered a player by several occasions while doing random battlegrounds. He had the Ancient Frostsaber (it does not have stripes, it’s just white with a purple saddle). I had never seen an old epic mount in game before, so I got a bit excited and whispered him. He told me he rarely got asked about it because people just don’t know what is is and the rarity of it. He also told me he believed he and another player from an American server were the only two who still had one (with active accounts). Later on, completely random, I got recommended a video here on RUclips of a someone selling their account, and it was him. It revealed that he also had the Black Ram, which means he obtained two epic mounts before patch 1.4 and decided not to turn them in. He also had the Corrupted Ashbringer, the AQ mount and a lot of other cool items, like the Icebane Plate-set from Naxxramas 40. Probably the most valuable account to this day.
About the gladiator mounts, when they first came in Burning Crusade then the Gladiator dragons were the only ones with a speed of 310% (Ashes might've had that too, I don't remember well. But the part about the glad drakes I remember very well.).
Nostalgia and the way this guy's editing conveys that is the best thing about this channel.
I remember, the last day you could get the armani war bear, it was MY turn to receive it. But exactly at that run we failed... I never received the mount after helping so many others :/ Damn it!
Sandman TV yeah. you totally have not just made that bullshit up. sure
Well, you don't have to believe it, but that's how it was!
@@NVNNN I feel sorry for you. Obviously you either have many people in your life who have lied to you or your a compulsive liar yourself so you think everyone else is lying. That's gotta be a sad life huh?
The choice of music and low tone you speak in is so calming.
can you do a video on rare and unobtainable Titles? thanks
I remember getting my core hound. I played during vanilla and remembered every fight in MC. I was a noob back then and I had never led a raid in my life, but I took the wheel during the LFR MC, taking time to explain to everyone what they needed to do from memory (I know it's easy to look at addons and everything). Slowly leading a group of 40 idiots to victory and getting complimented afterwards for the smooth run definitely was a great experience. You could call it a "core" memory hueheuheuheuhe....
You would think Scroll of Resurrection would have been more important in WoD and beyond.
Got my Swift Zulian Tiger back in 2009 and it's still the only ground mount I use to this day. Wish there was a way to see how many miles I've rode it.
Good choice! That one always makes my head turn if I see it out in the wild. If I see it on the BMAH I'll probably pick it up if I can
I also have it, although I haven't played since early WoD. Got it just before Cata launched, spending countless tries soloing ZG as a rogue. From that point on, it was my only ground mount used.
That would be amazing
I still farm mounts, and even when I obtain new rare ones Im sticking to my zulian tiger
Hahahahha
7:44 that's actually incorrect, this is how a CM described it.
In-game item for in-game gold = okay
Out of game item for out of game currency = okay
In-game item for out of game currency = Not permitted
Out of game item/service for in-game currency = Not permitted
When a TCG Loot Card is obtained, it will have a code printed on the physical card. This code is considered as a real life item, and thus may not be sold for in-game currency as stated in the policy, but it can be bought with out of game currency (money). However, when you want to get the actual item in-game, you will have to redeem the code on the Blizzard Promotion page
The page requires you to select a realm to redeem the loot code on. After successfully redeeming a code, you will be provided by another code: the in-game code. Which is allowed to be bought with in-game currency (gold)

2:09 The Ancient Frostsaber is all white and not with stripes, this one is called The Striped Frostsaber.
MageTower Mania probably because you cant find the model anywhere ingame
Striped Frostsaber? Reins of the Striped Frostsaber is sold from Lelanai in Darnassus.
MageTower Mania No. The Ancient Frostsaber.
I know, I'm just saying that MadSeason says very correctly that the Ancient Frostsaber is an Unobtainable mount but he mistakenly shows the wrong Frostsaber mount, the one with stripes.
MageTower Mania I know. Thats why I said that he might had problems searching for the model. You have NPCs riding Black Nightsabers in darnassus for example, but the Ancient one cant be found anywhere ingame
Why am I watching this to torture myself knowing I'll have none of these
Boy am I glad to have done season 2 of the brawl pub! I had no idea you couldn’t get the basilisk anymore. It’s pretty cool to know I own an unobtainable mount
Damn these mounts are just as unobtainable as actual companionship
that's so sweet bitch wtf im all tingly inside
Yikes..... saying that definitely won't increase your chances..
Wow
@@soulextracter That is one hell of a lie to concoct lol.
These retrospectives are much more enjoyable than the videos focused on more modern content. There are a million people going over the new stuff. There are very few who were both present during the early game, and knowledgeable enough to make enjoyable videos about the early game. More like this MadSeason! You rule.
I think I have a pretty split subscriber base between current/retrospective videos. I try my best to keep a good mix for everyone =]
Much respect.
Brewfest Kodo was absolutely implemented, I have one.
Came here to say this
The coolest things about these mounts, is how the hell people figured this stuff out without online databases and youtube. You were in awe if you ever saw one of these mounts. They were constantly asked how they did it. I knew a guy who didn't use his because he was spammed by people asking how he got it all the time, LOL.
One of those things which made the game feel truly alive and unique. You could only salute those smart enough to figure all this out on their own. It's not possible to compare to todays culture when you can just look something up.
If you were lucky enough to know one of these sages with the secret knowledge how to get one of these mounts, you were struck with the INSANE grind involved. It didn't seem feasible. But the madlads did it. Salute
Love the videos, liked before I watched- appreciate you- MadSeason!
Thanks dude! I appreciate it
Dude if I'm thinking about wow at night I put your video on and they put me to sleep. It's like water noises for people with sleep issues lol. Awesome vids btw
I'm still mad that I never got the ZG tiger :( Still the best looking mount imo!
3:20 also don't forget about the weight limit. Cows couldn't ride Raptors or UD mounts because we were so damn heavy. The ZG Raptor mount was the only one we could use during most of vanilla. Think they got rid of the restrictions in the pre BC patch.
7:19 Asmonbalding got one of these this week. Some rich viewer gave him the code.
HE gave esfand one too
asmonsh1t LuL
CSM-101 you sound like a salty bitch
kinda ironic that asmongold is gifted all these tcg when he could easily buy dozens of them.
The Wolf and Moose both where on the 2nd hardest difficulty.
During MoP it went LFR - Flex - Normal - Heroic
During WoD it went LFR - Normal - Heroic - Mythic
So both mounts where just as hard to achieve. Both mounts came from getting the "Ahead of the Curve" achievement.
SoO was MoP mythic
The ZG mount removal was the worst. I farmed both of those for so long and never got them. Still farming for the panther now but I really would’ve liked to get that tiger.
If I remember correctly the Brewfest Kodo was a rare drop in the mini instance you could run daily in BRD. I just know one of my guild mates had it in BC and I was so jealous. I had the ram, but since bag/bank space was at a premium I eventually deleted it since I never rode it.
The brewfest kodo is real i am riding on it right now! You are missing a couple of promotional/ recruit a friend once like the Zevra / obsidian Nighwing and Emerald Hippogryph.
All those recruit a friend mounts are still obtainable
Obsisian Nightwing was promotional as was the 2 seater Rocket for Recruit a friend only
Yes but both are still availabe. U can choose which u want if u recruit a friend
You've done it again my friend....another exceptional video
Good job, btw you missed the blizzcon flying mounts from blizzcon 2017 :)
small correction thou the orginal amani bear was removed start of wrath as a timed run reward, also the ToC mount not only required you to clear it without anyone dying, it also had to be on your first try of the week
im gonna get these mounts when Classic comes out!
pretty much all these mounts wont be in classic gg
Hello, I've been bingewatching all your videoes for the last couple days, I have to say, you are amazing on making content :) I've myself quit WoW about 2 years ago, played since closed beta. And some of your content really makes me smile, cus of the nostalgia, I really miss the old days.. Ah well :) Keep it up! Will continue to watch your videoes!
Thats so sad i never knew the gnome got his green ostrid taken away
I love your videos because your voice is so untypical for these type of videos and it makes it so much better
I'm a mount collector. Why do i torture myself with this?
@ 19:45 you mention the Brewfest kodo and how it was never implemented into the game? I actually acquired that mount a few years ago, its one of my favorite mounts! Only difference between the one you displayed and mine is that my Kudo has 2 beer kegs attached to its back,. Otherwise its identical
I have the Brewfest Kodo.... it's called 'Great Brewfest Kodo' and can send you a screenshot if you need proof?
Paradise Decay yeah I was like wtf I know for a fact I have that mount
Its a different mount. I have it too. The one in this video doesnt have the kegs on it.
he meant the counterpart to the brewfest ram no a none epic version to the great breafest kodo.
You actually got both plaguebat and hyppo if you completed BFA prepatch event as any faction. Still, they are faction locked, so you can only use them on their respective factions.
insane people paying 15k dollars for a mount.
if you were a mount collecor..
If the whole thing was legal 15K would be a steal at that price for a one-off mount. You would definitely be able to sell it for four times as much today (if Blizzard actually allowed this sort of thing).
@@archvaldor Sorry, not buying it. I sincerely doubt anyone would pay $60,000 for a mount.
Great video. Just some clarification on some infos that were presented wrong. The korkron warwolf was indeed obtainable in SoO Normal, but at the time, the progression were LFR > Flex > Normal > Heroic, then in that prepatch they renamed them for LFR > Normal > Heroic > Mythic, with some added flexibility in the number of players envolved, essentially turning the old "normal" easier, as it was 10 and 25 only. And differently from this prepatch, the korkron warwolf and the feat of strenght could not be obtained. Therefore, Blizzard never raised minimum required for acquiring the final boss mount to Heroic, just renamed it in MoP - WoD Pre-patch
17:31 i wish i had this!! Or the core hound.
Man your videos are so good they are the best in quality but i love the outro most, its beautiful
Would be cool if they made it so that you could obtain old mounts from wow classic. Would make it worth to play. Now I just feel like I would be literally wasting my time if I played it.
I don't think they should re-release any of these. It's cooler seeing super rare items out in the wild, rather than everyone having them.
chilli agreed
You're one and only priority in a game is to collect a few mounts? Wow, how do you have fun with any game...
Collecting everything, att. Collecting is fun to me, playing old content not so much.
Do you know how stupid that sounds? Collecting stuff IS playing old content lol
A 20 minutes MadSeason video on mounts? FUCK YEAH!
Oh wow I thought the primal flamesaber was just a normal promotional mount not a rare one because that was when I got blizzard XD, I played heroes a lot in 2017
Alex S its not rare at all
HamsterSmasher it will be many years later
Where is that riff in the intro from
“One way or another,the alliance always wins”, what are you implying madseason,i am extremely triggered
He is probably referencing the vanilla and TBC era battlegrounds in which alliance would win most of the matches. Also his main is a human. :)
As far as i'm concerend "Horde rulez, ally droolz!"
Hrm. On Tich, the best PvP guild was horde, and most of the big names in PvP were horde, not ally. Ally weren't slouches, and had a couple notables, but there were PvP guilds transferring to Horde side Tich in vanilla for the competitive PvP scene there. I guess it all depends on your server.
Your videos are awesome and weirdly perfect to have playing in the periphery.
MadSeason, you forgot the Stormwind Skychaser and Orgrimmar Interceptor
Argh!! I knew I would forget one. Thanks - I'll update my pinned comment.
Hearthsteed
Christopher Lindsay
Hearthsteed is stilk obtainable😉
Still*
*The Scarab Lord title was added retroactively, not given at the time of the opening. IIRC it was during the TBC pre-patch.
Swift Zullan tiger ...my brother has it he was a classic wow gamer he stopped playing when panadaria came
K dude
Sucks to be him then.
It's still available
Link your Accounts Same Last Name
NaSteeZy so u can hack me ...
I’m gonna miss your videos so much. Your voice is so calming. Love you Mad❤️
My scoreboard
TL;DR the first one is the only of note.
Brewfest Ram. My hunter had just hit 40 and it was brewfest so I figured why not?
Amani War Bear. I don't actually have this but I do have a story for it. I bought a carry run that I saved for months for 6000g... which was a lot back then. The carry failed. And it was the last week. Fuck the Guild Avast [who are one of the only Australian top 10 guilds].
Big Blizzard Bear. ARGH!!!! I SHOULD have this... I bought the Blizzcon virtual ticket which came with a code. I never received the code. My friend did. Fuck my friend.
Spectral Gryphon/Wyvern. I just re-up'd my old RaF account.
Tyrael's Charger. Is my paladin's mount.
Kor'Kron War Wolf. I paniced because I didn't know about this. Just checked, I do have it. Few...
Pheonix mounts. Bought carries.
Chalanger';s War Yeti. Same.
Choppers. For the Horde! [note, I don't have the alliance version. But I'm rich now so I'ma go buy it.]
Corehound. obvs.
Grove Warden. Paid 50k for a carry...
Primal Flame Saber . I play a ton of HotS anyway.
Violet Spellwing. Paid 10k... not sure why it was cheaper.
War of Thorns mounts. Duh.
jealous tbh, didnt know you could buy carries that easily. Did you go to a website or something?
Just asked in trade chat and bought with gold. Despite how much I hate Avast [screw them seriously] it's good to be on a realm with a top 10 guild.
Also bought a M+15 carry a few months back for the artifact skin.
It's even easier now because you can just search in the group finder for carry or selling. There's even pseudo cross realm gold/real money transfer now by they just make an lv1 toon on your realm, you give them gold for a token, they buy it and they get the money.
Thanks for the new video man!! Keep up the good work!
Someone gave the blizzard bear mount as a gift to asmongold yesterday, crazy how expensive that is
Meltman1000 Asmongold is awful.
Crazy how a guy can get free gold, raid carries and mounts for doing literally nothing
Meltman1000 can I get that..?
Oh stop being jealous, it's not a good trait
Oh you made a really good point...
I like the ff music you put in your videos, very chilled :)
I have the brewfest kodo tho...
No it's the "swift" version of it, that made it into the game, which is still obtainable - I have it too, got it back in 2009.
well doesn´t really matter when they look the same, only a name difference in that the one you can have is called "Great Brewfest kodo"
so?
So - It is not in the game - the GREAT kodo has Armor plates on it.
And drums🥁
always great to get a new madseason vid. you just always turn out great quality stuff. keep being you
As a black battle tank owner I can tell ya... I get at least 1 whisper message "where can I get this mount!?" in every damn battleground... tzz wow players these days...
Truppe4 so many casuals
Whats your armory?
Can I buy your account? LUL
Augustin Boustoure He doesnt have it or is a scub from Level 80. He got it 2 expansions later by transferring to a new realm and opening it there. He finished it at 80, because a failure couldnt do it at 60 as it was only available for the chosen elites. And you are complaining about people praising your mount. You dont even deserve it, let alone get praises for it.
-Genes- They nerfed the drop rates in WotLK and you could do most stuff solo. If not solo, you would need a party with 5 people at max. It was way easier at 80.
Been playing since vanilla and I've always been horrible at keeping up with anything new-content related. But thanks to your video I got the hippogryph mount from BFA pre-patch mere minutes before the actual BFA release. Thanks!
I’m a proud owner of the Black Bug!
Cool friend😀😊
You probably got it at 80, like 95% of them. You can be proud all you want but you just an ant compared to the players who did it at 60.
He still has it though.
@@chaosd.emperor7462 You're jelly, it's okay bud.
@@Paparoach101 So that confirms you are from 80. I have no reason to be jelly since Ive obtained mine in Classic/2006 where only 2 got it and took blood sweat and tears. A 80 one shouldnt be proud. Especially if he cleans up the dirt left behind by originals.
I think youre wrong at 2:09 ref NE mounts. As far as I remember, the choice was either an entirely white or black mount. The stripey one was a normal level 40 mount.
*Cries in Asmongold*
Awesome video. Love learning about old mounts
Brewfest Kodo was implemented.
Nope, the Great Brewfest Kodo was, not the Brewfest Kodo.
All your old school music that you have playing in the background (ff10 Ect) I love so much!!!!
Guess what? doesn't matter how much mount or thing you own in WoW, in the end Blizzard own everything you have work for and you keep paying them.
Honestly dude, never assume what you're talking about is uninteresting! I can't get enough.
love the ffx music on background
Removed and unobtainable, two words you never want to hear in an MMO.
Exclusive items are one of the worst thing an MMO can do to players.
Jamie S no i dont think so . It makes it more special having such an item and it motivates to farm something like that before it disappears .
@@johnnyjoestar7595 Not what I meant.
Nothing should be handed to the player.
Exclusive items are items that are no longer obtainable, due to being removed.
Nothing should ever be removed.
Jamie S Thats not a good mindset to have. You also cannot alow any casual to have something you grinded and worked hard for. Thats the beauty of those mounts. They are removed because otherwise they would be to easy to farm. Thats the problem with WoW nowadays. Nothing is exclusive anymore. I disagree with your post
@@chaosd.emperor7462 No please listen, farmable items are fine, shit like scarab lord mount that cannot be obtained is bad.
There is never an excuse to remove content, instead they should move content.
Take scarab mount, they should have prized that to the first people to complete the quest line sure, but instead of removing it, a year or so later they could have made it a rare drop.
This gets people doing content, doing raids.
Removing anything from the game is a big fuck you to all future players.
Jamie S Nope. Im a Scarab Lord, and seeing that mount as a rare drop would make me quit the game. You are clueless about the effort and dedication people put into a unobtainable mount. Moving the content would be impossible while making it obtainable again. And moving it as a drop is the worst thing possible. You basically remove the initial conditions onto how to get the mount. There are plenty of reasons to make a player doing content and raid for mounts. But adding removeable precious mounts as drops is by far the weakest possible way ever, especially later on, on a higher level where every unknown uneducated player could get one. Just like you said... it would mean a big FUCK YOU to the players who got it the original way.
I remember the grind to get my brewfest ram mount the first brewfest. I woke up every day before school and made sure to get a certain amount of tickets per day to get it.
The alliance always wins. HA that gave me a good giggle. Delusional people.
Lol'd.
But Alliance is the best... It's obvious, Horde is full of children now...
Thats a childish thing to say.
Bit of a correction with the Grove Warden and Violet Spellwing: both of those mounts were available through the prepatch, they were only/are only going to be removed with the launch of each expansion. It's a pretty big misconception on the internet that these mounts get removed with the prepatch it seems like, but I know from personal experience that they're available until the next expansion launches as I've gotten both in the respective prepatches. That means that, as of writing this comment, you have 4 more days to get Violet Spellwing if you still don't have it. I'm not sure whether the SoO mount was available in the Warlord's prepatch though.
Another slight correction, albeit a very slight one: you obtain both the Undercity Plaguebat and the Teldrassil Hippogryph for doing either the Alliance or Horde prepatch quests up to the burning of Teldrassil. This one is incredibly easy to miss, as it doesn't seem that Blizzard has mentioned anywhere that this is the case and the only mention of it that I can find online is one comment on a forum post. I only found this out myself when I went to do the quest with an Alliance toon and the Teldrassil Hippogryph popped up when I went to mount up halfway through the quest chain.
Ancient Frost saber is not the original one. It was looking like the nightsaber except it was solid white (instead of black) =) Don't recall it's name exactly though! 02:11 Also forgot Baron Rivendare's mount for Vanilla ^_^
Wow I'm surprised that I actually have 2 of these! (well 3 counting the hippogryph/bat) Awesome video as always
Brawler mounts remain my favourite. So glad I got them.
- Phoenixes. Just a small addition to it, that in later patches even tho anyone finished just once receiving silver medals in MoP, he or she got all 4 mounts.
- The Core Hound.
As a matter or fact it was not like "super hard" or "too hard for lfr" itself. The problem was within the players. They did not know some of the forgotten buttons like "decurse".
Oh, yeah, not to mention the time spent in the queue. I waited for like 20 hours (not sitting by the computer, no) on russian servers. And we spent 4 hours to clear the whole raid. But the most upsetting mistake was LOOTING ANYTHING. There was a bug/glitch/whatever you call it, that occured when somebody tried to loot mobs - and it actually disbanded the whole raid, so the players were to wait in the queue again and to pray for nobody to freaking loot anything.
- The moose. They did not make it harder to get by bumping up the requirements to heroic.
When the Draenor was out, they revamped the raid ranking.
The "Flex"(when the HP and damage of the bosses changed depending on the amount of people in a raid) that we knew in MoP became "Normal" in WoD. Normal became Heroic, and Heroic became Mythic difficulty. This is about the raids, so technically it was the same normal mode.
It's cool knowing all the old racial mounts are unique now, I played from launch until Cata and had em all. Lots of Runecloth turn in I remember
I love these vids but I get bummed watching them because it reminds me of all the mounts I’ve missed out on!
thank god i have 2 of these mounts. great video!
Very helpful will use this video to know how much I wish I got these mounts
Same
great video, however the violet spellwing is still obtainable right now in the pre-patch, as it isn't tied to AoTC, but rather an item that drops from argus that starts a quest to get the mount. a buddy of mine resubbed and got his yesterday. it will be going away though next week when BFA launches, and will be unobtainable.
Awesome, I needed something quality to watch!
Kind of hoping some of the older mounts become available again with Classic's release. Would be nice to get them, even if they don't carry over to current WoW mount tab.
Actually, thinking about it, if Blizz wants Classic to succeed, they could make any mounts you get carry over to the mount tab on live. That way you'd get more interest in Classic from collectors. Knowing Blizz though, I suspect they'd keep them separate, but "allow" you to buy a character transfer (with mount) from Classic to Live. Guess we'll have to wait and see what they do, if anything.
they whould have no reason to not have the old Zg mounts drop on the classic servers
