Expansion Mounts

Erving · 08/18/06, 10:18 AM

Hey all,

This has probably been covered somewhere, but no matter how much I Google for it, I haven't been able to find an answer. Are there in-game pictures of the Dranei and Blood Elf mounts floating around the Intarweb? :)

What I'm more interested in, is how much do the mounts cost? The epic ones? Is there a way to get the really rare ones without counting on a boss ala raptor/tiger/baron mount? Like say, the bug mount?

There haven't been any from Blizzard, just want the mounts are. BE got cockatrice, and Dranei got Elephants. Google has many pictures of those two animals, then picture them looking more cartoonish.

Nothing more to be said.

My guess is that it'll be the same as with the epic mounts for the other races when it comes to prices.

Rumor has it that Blizz will be changing the reputation system in the expansion as well, I found this quote to back it:

Also, regarding reputation, we're really trying hard in the expansion to make reputations less of a grind. We're trying to use reputation in new ways that don't require hours of repetitve behavior. To give an example, the Blood Elf secondary zone, Ghostlands, has a reputation associated with it. Do 2 quests -- go up a level. Do 3 more -- go up another level etc... No grinding whatsoever.

I wonder if this means that I can head over to the Dranei startingzone and fix exalted with the Dranei on my gnome in a few days to get a Dranei epic mount or if it's a separate reputation system that has nothing to do with that faction.

Assuming the rep system for getting other mounts is the same, remember @ 60 you get less rep for doing low level quests. However, you sure would get leveling Draeni mad by one shotting all their quest mobs ;).

Meh, 90% of them will be alliance characters testing the IMBA OVERPOWERED OMG-Shamans anyway, and I've never been very upset when I get a Shaman mad. :D
