Swift Razzashi Raptor dropped for The Noob Squad!Follow

#1 Dec 04 2006 at 7:37 AM Rating: Excellent
Hi there.
Some of you may have seen in the weekend summary thread that our guild was lucky enough to have the Swift Razzashi Raptor drop from Bloodlord Mandokir over the weekend.

I really wanted the kitty mount, but rolled on this anyway. What the heck, right?
I won with a 93/100.

I didn't have the money for the riding skill, but my guildies were nice enough to loan me the money to get the epic skill (I think it helped that I had offered to help them all out with their repair bills earlier). So that night, I was able to mount up on my first epic mount. It was pretty funny because as an Undead, I have to go to Brill to get the skill. I rode over there on my Undead Bonybutt horse while still under the effects of Yaaarrrr! from a savory deviate delight. The newbies were freaking out first of all at a "human" in their midst, and then doubly so when I mounted up on a giant green raptor! Our guild's Alpha Warrior happens to be a troll and he had his epic raptor out so we took my new ride out for a spin around Brill and then into the Undercity.

UC has some beautiful architecture and seemed the perfect location for a photoshoot. Here is one of the nicer shots. I'd like to put more up because Akuin (our trollish tank) and I got some nice pics together with our raptors so you can see the differences between the two.

I'm kinda sad that I got the raptor instead of the kitty, but I'm happy to have a unique epic mount. Well, I know it's not UNIQUE, but it's not every day you see an Undead riding around on a raptor...especially one with glowing eyes.

In other interesting news, I have a friend who is an Undead Warlock who rides an epic kodo. Talk about excessive! heh

I didnt even realize that, those free epic mounts drop USED to be 100% free, now its only nifty.
Makes the old "i get prio bc i dont have an epic mount yet" vs "lazy f***s dont get prio!" discussion absolete.

Ive had/have a troll priest guildie who had ALL faction epic mounts horde side, even before the mount/riding change patch. Now that is excessive. It are the PvP ones, but still.

I didn't have the epics from each race, but I was able to ride Mechanostriders, Rams and Horses pre-change. I'm about 10k rep short of being able to ride kitties too.

I thought he was the only WoW player so crazy to max rep with all factions.
Well actually hes really exalted with almost all of WoW's factions where possible, except for nozdormu. (also not the DM elves and neither of the centaur races those are impossible to do)
How about you? Also THAT crazy?

(most asked question of you both in /gchat must be: "anyone has any runecloth to spare?" :D )

Grats, though in all honesty it's not nearly as cool on Horde side. :P

You guys already have raptor mounts. :)

I'm not exalted with every rep, though I am with like, 9 or so. I've also personally farmed every single piece of runecloth I turn in. I haven't bought any, nor have I mooched any.

I'm about halfway through revered with Argent Dawn, and Timbermaw Hold. I haven't done anything with the Thorium Brotherhood because I'm a miner/skinner, so there's not much point. :)

However, I am also about 26% of the way done with the grind for a Wintersaber mount, and I've also hit friendly with the Bloodsail Buccaneers, which should easily make up for the thorium brotherhood and the revered reputations. :)

Which is why I wanted the kitty!
That and I like kitty cats.
*pout*

I really don't want to sound spoiled or ungrateful...I mean, I feel incredibly lucky to HAVE this mount.
I just...
Wanted the kitty more.

Updated my sig with char names for you to hunt me down. How's 7:00 in Cenarion Hold sound?

Congrats to you! I saw your pic and I have to say, you posed the new raptor just right. ;) It looks much better than the others when I look at them again, perhaps he's more colorful I don't know, but it also might be because I'm alliance and don't see them much anyway. XD But either way I'm happy for you.

I’m alliance and I still want the Tony the tiger mount. In my opinion it’s the nicest looking mount in game. Though I must admit that my female dwarf would look rather amusing atop an epic raptor mount. *smiles*

ZomgAprus! I didn't realize you posted on here!
Thanks, man. I was wondering who that strange pally was who kept posting in my o-board threads. Smiley: grin

Ialaman, I'm afraid I have a date with Shazz at 7pm. He said to wear something nice and bring 39 of my closest friends.

Sadly Ialaman, I count as one of her friends last I checked, so I guess i'm going to the date as a tag along... or else she'll do all sorts of things and Shazz wont give any presents.

First of all, grats Tep!

Those mounts have not dropped for my raid even once, and I've gotten 3 toons to exalted with Zandalar. Why not change your avatar to a shot of you on the raptor to celebrate?

Fine, we'll meet on the swingset during recess!

<.< >.>

I tried to go easy on you, cause my DPS is goin up after the patch, but maybe we can play next weekend... ;)

Just remember, if you have enough healers helping you, rogues can run in and DPS on Shazzrah. Honest.

It has that he-man vibe already. In my memory somehow battle-cat was always orange, i looked it up and turns out to be green hmz.

IMO, mount priority on those should go to Tauren because we have no way to get access to non-Kodo/Wolf mounts.

*sigh*

Or maybe I'm just pissed that of the two Baron mounts and each of the ZG mounts I've seen drop I've lost all of them. It does suck to have no real options, though, and the fact that Blizzard won't let us ride the normal faction mounts EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE THE DROPPED ONES IN-GAME THAT WE CAN RIDE is... annoying...

...well, I got a little off-track there. Grats!
