310% Flying Mount

if you are exalted with the valiance expedition or the horde equivalent in borean tundra, u can get it for 4k. and its lush. im happy i spent the 4k on it :D
 
I'm a bit bummed that you can no longer receive 310% speed from reward mounts (ie. Rusted Protodrake, Invincible, Violet Protodrake). You'll get the reward mount but it will fly at the maximum speed you've trained (ie. spent gold on).
The only way to get the 310% speed is to spend the 4000 - 5000g

I was 3 Achiv's away from the Uldar 10 man drake and half done with "What a strange long trip it has been" :'(
 
5K gold??? Thats a good laugh. What made me laugh even more is the new tree of life. Hey have an epic... heres one for your pet too.
 
It's all a matter of relative speed. If you've got 310% on one char and not on the rest, then the others seem so dam slow (case in point).
Ignorance it is bliss.

Flying in the old world is going to be awesome. Before I do anything else in Cata I'm going go for a round trip and explore!
 
Lucky for me I had a 310% mount already so I don't have to spend more gold on the training ^^

Keeping gold going into Cata is stupid - It will lose it's value in a split second just like it did going into WotLK.

Invest it in rare pets, because as the gold value drops, their value stays constant, so you can sell them in Cata for 4-5x what you paid ( and in the case of the whelps ( and the Razzashi Raptor ) that are getting removed, far more. ).

Food for thought :)

Looking forward to flying around old Azeroth with my rocket, though they'll probably remove the fun places that you used to be able to visit..
 
Interesting thing is that all of the mounts scale to riding now. The old 60% ground mounts are 100% now with the correct skill. Same with the 150% flying mounts.
 
That might be cool for alliance since they have sexy gryphons, horde get flying rats. :(
 
An update on the weekened regarding the violet proto-drake reward from the meta "What a strange long trip it's been". A Blue poster state that the reward will teach you 310% flying with the mount. Which is good news for those who are close to getting the achivement. TBH I'd rather spend 5000 gold on getting 150% - 280% flying on an alt.

@Abn0rm4l , totally agreed. On my one lone Horde char I'm cruising with the bronze drake, despite it being a welfare mount. It looks MUCH better than the default horde mounts. Probably one of the worst looking models in the game. Looks like they literally did a copy paste of old tauren druid form and a scorpion. Of all the Horde FP mounts the only one I'd be keen on is the undercity Bat.

You made me realize that I still need to finish the Netherwing dailies. And considering I have the 310% mounts now, it should be easier to beat Skyshatter.

Bah. That stupid race annoyed the crap out of me and I gave up on it.
Still got my netherwing drake tho.

The extra speed doesn't really help all that much, lag hurts more than a slower mount at that speed. Never managed to finish it either but you can more than make up for it with all the eggs you can find now. :)
