*Sigh* My guide to spending 26,000 Gold (Epic Mounts)

[Eteocles]

Some of us quite honestly have nothing better to spend our gold on.

Share the wealth ;) lol

@ Gallo and in addition to Eteocles

If you are up for some PVP, get the PVP shaman boots with the +15% movement, you end up GW @ 155% (and can do it in combat) I found it invaluable (mind you I was levelling and enhancment shammy) Great for flag carrying too as long as GW isn't dispelled.

[RANT]
WHY? Why do Shammies in GW suffer the same limitations as druids in animal form but can have the ability dispelled? If it is a spell, surely hibernate and fear beast shouldn't work and if it isn't then it shouldn't be dispellable!
[/RANT]

I feel better now

[Eteocles]

Because Ghost Wolf is a cast spell/buff, Travel Form is a true shapeshift ;p

[Djarid]

Fair enough then don't have us trackable as animals, and don't let Hibernate and fear beast affect us.

I don't mind which one the choose, just don't give the disadvantages of both!

On the Characters being left behind thing I'd suggest you have one of your other characters (preferably one with mining/herbing) take the lead with your pally on follow. This way you get the benefit of crusader aura but if your leader gets to far ahead the followers keep the speed aura while the leader loses it till the minions catch up... Setting this up can be pretty easy with making your follow macro have the code /follow [mounted] CharacterX; PallyCharacter

On the epic flyers bit, 5 Epic Flyers is absolutely awesome especially when you can turn em into an armada of netherdrakes swooping down on some would be gankers, spend the gold and don't look back. Couple of tricks I've found for getting there...

• If you haven't gotten to 70 yet avoid questing in Netherstorm, Blades Edge, and Shadowmoon the XP they give is nice but getting 12g for each kill quest as soon as you hit 70 is much nicer. Huge boost to your initial gold when your gear isn't quite up to snuff for heroic instancing and such
• Store all your money on a bank toon or a personal guild bank, keeping only 50g on each of your characters. If you don't have money to spend your far less likely to spend it
• Have a Fire Sale from your bank mules, sell everything that isn't immediately useful tradeskill mats included. After your epic mounted and your gear is enchanted you can still make a shit ton of gold with simple dailys so it will be easy to buy stuff you truly need after you have the mounts. This works best if you start it before your guys hit 70 as you can sell it over time instead of having to do a mad rush...
• If you have friends or guildees you can borrow gold from when you hit 70 to cross the epic flyer boundary, do it (especially if you avoided questing in NS, BE and SMV). You can do dailys and kill quests much faster if you have the epic flyers and pay them back in a couple of days if you work at it. Also saves you 500g from having to buy the regular flying mounts 100g x5 toons. I wouldn't do this if you don't believe you can pay them back quickly, outstanding loans erode friendships quite quickly if not paid back...

Just an interesting fact...

Saturday night I spent every gold I had save 2g on each of 6 toons left on them for flying around money...

I haven't done any play today, but as of last night I was up over 1100g again.

I actually have a guildmate or two who could loan me the entire amount if I wanted to go that route, however I don't feel any pressing need. Doing nothing but dailies and I'll be epic in 90 days, throw in the quest here and there when I'm not raiding and it comes in nice and fast.

[Eteocles]

zanth I'd ask what mailbox you stripped an NE down and danced on to make that kinda money but as a multiboxer you probably sent one naked NE to each major city mailbox and danced on all of them at once, rofl

58
you miiiiiiiight be able to...it's mostly undead, but for
Rattlegore(Which you have to kill to get to the rest of the instance)
you'd want a really tough tank...even at 70 with 13k+ armor he tears me
up quick solo, though that was literally solo, not multi-box "solo"
lol

HEHEHE i have lvl 70 Retardin 9k hp 10k armour and tore this boss to
peices, 40 secs it took me tho i am running t5 gear at the time

[Eteocles]

You had t5 + anti-undead powers, I had t4/lurker gear and had to spam Wrath and couldn't heal myself without going down to 2k armor ;p Plus, you're a retardin...maybe he felt sorry for you ;)

[zanthor]

Ding... 2 down, 3 to go!

Thank god for the Sunwell, 800G+ a day!
