So apparently you need a flying mount (or at minimum cold weather flying) to do much of anything in Icecrown/Storm Peaks.

This is bad news bear for those of us that didn't really farm any gold (or stayed at 69 to collect rest...).

My current situation is:

Druid
Shaman
Shaman
Shaman
Shaman

Where the druid has all of the flying training (6800) and the shamans basically have nothing.

It was my intention to level this group to 80, and then level up another group and ultimately work into some sort of a mixed group using dailies and such to fund the second group.

I also kind of planned of doing some pvp with this group in the mean time, but without flying mounts it seems like I can't do the son's of hodir quests for the shoulder inscriptions, or possibly some of the later instances, or possibly wintergrasp effectively.

Now I'm kind of stuck with what I want to do, I can either go grind out another 3-4k gold (and probably hit 79 in the process?) and that would get me one shaman flying ready and I could simply 2-box to 80.

Does anybody else have some suggestions for me, or want to state their experiences with this restriction?
