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

[Gallo]

I'm slightly worried about cash. At lvl 56, I have about 700g spread out between all my chars and bank alt. So, I'm quite a ways away from epic ground mounts. I DE all my green and sell the mats, and sell all cloth. I do have a bit of inventory on my bank alt, so maybe that figure is ~1000g, but still. It's what, 800g per character for epic ground mounts + training?

I figure I'll get the epic ground mounts around 63-64.

Gallo once you can solo Scholo(lol), just stop and spend awhile there; the Dark Runes sell nicely to Raiders as they're very valuable and not on mana pot cooldowns, and Large Brilliant Shards sell great still too + you can get nearly a dozen of 'em in a single scholo run easily; a 70 can solo most of it, a group of 5 depending on lvl and makeup could probably take 'em out too. The shards're about 10-12g on mag and sell fairly quick and reliably, they're common in twink enchants + crusader + the alternate lv60 Mana/Wizard oils which give 2 buffs instead of pure dmg or regen

Been there, done that. Going to be fun when I get my 4 other characters to 70.

Problem is, can I solo it with 5x Shamans before lvl 58? I'm thinking not. I'll have to take time out of leveling to actually leave the outlands and go there to farm for cash. That sucks

Maybe I can farm it at 58.

At 55, I couldnt get through the first 2 pulls of Strat without wiping, so I'm not sure.

5 different epic flights 4 of which require work to get...you sir are insane, congrats :p Did you "solo" the Epic Druid one?

Gallo, trust me, finish Azeroth off first, don't upgrade if you don't have to ;p I did up to 60 with Travel Form and that's 10% slower than even normal mounts(Though I DID buy normal mounts, my main only had an epic land mount and I didn't wanna play catch-up or waste money on a non-epic land mount for my main lol); hit 60, run Scholo, or start hellfire and gear up then try it; a combination of both should get you up in cash a bit fairly quick, you don't really "need" epics in hellfire but everythign beyond(lv62+) you kinda wanna have it lol

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

Yes, I soloed Heroic Sethekk Halls up to Anzu. Didn't really feel like killing Ikiss, since I've run SH SOOOO many times in normal mode and Ikiss was always a pain for crap loot. The Netherdrake is the only one I would say actually required any "work". Everyone has long been exhalted with Skyguard, I just bought the Flying Machine, and the druid quest is just long though still doable in one day (learning curve on the heroic dungeon kinda blows). Now I've just got to get the other 4 classes to 70 and find appropriate unique flying mounts for them.

I consider anyone who buys it to be "Bat-shit insane", but there's always the CE-exalted-rep 1700g Hippgryph epic flying mount...lol

[Nepida]

One thing I learned was no matter how much I wanted to, spend the extra few seconds to loot the clams in the Naga instances. Even if it means trading some from your main to your alts. Especially with 2.4 coming out, black pearls are sky rocketing in price (40-50g per pearl so far, up to 70g if its cut).

Why spend 26k when you can spend 34k gold! ~ Also the mount is 1600g, not 1700 heh.

Ah well yeah I am still revered with CE but still, why spend 1600g vs 100g at most ;p If I had that kinda cash I could think of a ton of other far more useful non-cosmetic things I'd spend it on than a stupid green bird mount

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