[quote="DarthHelmet86";p="2106471"][quote="Thomas Eshuis";p="2106464"][quote="Sendraks";p="2106450"]The problem with the Raven Lord was that you used to only be able to get it if you had a druid in your party on their flight form quest. Now you can activate the quest without a druid and that makes it a lot easier.

Still tedious as fuck though.[/quote]
What quest?
It's a regular drop from the Heroic specific boss.[/quote]

In BC Druids had to do a set of dungeon quests to unlock the two speed flying forms. And the drop for Raven Lord is not regular drop...1.6% is never regular.[/quote]
I meant regular as in no quest or special items/mechanics required.

[quote="DarthHelmet86";p="2106475"][quote="Sendraks";p="2106463"][quote="DarthHelmet86";p="2106455"]Raven Lord is still a very low drop rate, not the lowest once a day mount but still so low that it will take a long time on average to get it. I always worry with the low drop rate mounts that I have had them drop then sold them without even knowing, I check my loot over and over to make sure it is just armour and not some hidden mount.[/quote]

I've been there with that frikkin turtle mount. I'm, sure that on at least one occasion, I clicked off the cast after the loot window had appeared and lost out on the turtle.

Then years later, it dropped for me whilst I was farming fish for food prior to raiding.

I got the fishing master of Booty Bay trinket one weekend. Probably only in the 2nd or 3rd week of trying. A friend of mine told me off for getting it, given that they had limited time to play and had I been there, they might have won it. I'd have pointed out the failings of that argument, but I was too busy swimming around as a fish.[/quote]

I always have auto-loot turned on, I will never lose something because I miss clicked. That is another fear of mine, plus it speeds up dungeon runs.[/quote]

Not any more. No.

Prior to changes, the boss which drops the Raven Lord would only spawn for a druid doing their class quest.

Just finished another rep grind getting the Guardian of Cenarius title, which is a great title for my shaman in a roleplaying sense.

I have the Expedition Rep, no idea how to get the Circle rep in a quick and easy manner.

Only just found out that the same boss that drops the black drake, also drops this beauty in the 25 man version.
That's one Obisidian Sanctum run for me tomorrow.

There isn't, like the rep in Nagrand it is a grind with small rep per kill of a mob and a chance of dropping a item that in groups of 10 earn 500 rep. There are four bases and if you kill each one then fly to the next by the time you get to the last the first is respawned, you also pass the base on the way back and can turn in rep items and sell loot.

I am working on the Shattered Sun Offensive rep at the moment, there is a mount that drops from the raid I think and there is a title for exalted. As well as a tabard, fourteen more or so and I get the achievement for twenty five.

After that I think I will move on to the firelands rep. Another hippogryph for my goblin would be nice.

Yea started doing the Firelands a while back, paused to grind gold for the Travellers Mammoth first.
Tried to solo Obisdian Sanctum/sanctuary 25 man, just now. Can't kill the boss without the other 3, because the final miniboss either makes the main boss immune or they deal enough damage together to outdamage my healing.
Going to ask my friend to help this afternoon.

:grin:
Breadwinner Achievement: 10.000 gold from quest rewards.
Which apparenty can be achieved from the new "Kill all the bosses of a dungeon" quest which you can basically run over and over.

I murdered everything in that area on 10 man but when I looked up the 25 man the comments kept talking about leaving the three miniboss when you clear the trash then taking on the main dragon. I am not sure why, do they do something in the battle? Or does the lack of them ramp up the main dragon?

You need to keep the three minibosses alive to get the mount to drop.
That is to say, they have to be alive when you start the fight, apparently, though I haven't checked this, you can kill them once the fight has started.

I am real close to breadwinner as well, also under 1000 quests to complete and I have done 3000 which gives a title. I keep thinking maybe I should try the Loremaster ones...but that is a lot of quests.

Only need about an additional 800 gold to get the Traveller's Mammoth.
