I did got it too lol, i always did my tanaan dailies because i had nothing better to do during summer break beside raiding 2 days a week so i figurered why not.
Me: Watches this video today Hmmmm. Do I have 150k Apexis Crystals sitting on a toon I used to play during WoD? And now I’m waiting on my retail WoW to update because I haven’t regularly played in over 2 years…
Ashes of Autism... Perfect name. I've been farming it over 6 years +/- and it never dropped. I officially gave up when my noobish friend got it on first run. 😒
I know this comment is about a month old, but fuck me too, i've been farming ashes of alar since i started playing and it hasn't dropped, my friends promised me that they wouldn't roll if it dropped because i've been farming it for years. They only do the raid with me so.... yeah
As did I. I was just doing it for fun (because at that point I had given up on it) and I killed the horseman opened my box got the mount and didn't even notice I had got it until like 20 minutes later.
When it's october and we have the Halloween event in game, you can que into a dungeon where you kill the Headless Horseman. He gives you a box that can drop it. You can only do it once a day per character, tho. Similar to the Big Love Rocket.
I love the Azure Netherwing Drake. It was my first epic flying mount, and I remember how long the rep grind was. Also the Phosphorescent Stone Drake. I got so incredibly lucky finding it right after Cataclysm came out.
@Emma Sabourin I think it was kinda in the bag, if you played after WOD was over, and you still wanted dreanor flying unlocked. You would need to grind Tannan Jungle anyway, and where else do you spend your crystals - that's right, absolutely nothing except the mount. Because when I grinded all three Tannan reps, and got my flying unlocked during the legion expansion, I only had to do like two more dailies to have enough to but the mount.
Honestly I rode my Frostbrood Vanquisher everywhere for the longest time, but there is one mount I always find myself defaulting to whenever I play. The Red Flying Cloud is such a simple disc with white smoke coming out the bottom, but as soon as I entered Eye of Eternity back in the day and saw the floating wizards doing their disco shit up in the sky, I knew that one day too I would ride and dance atop my disco disk.
Mirimon's head is my favorite flying mount, You have to kill an old god to get it. Ulduar is a ton of fun to run even 50K times. There is so much content to the raid already, there's a legendary, there are pets now, and some really cool looking gear, not to mention the huge amount of lore to the place, Bt the reason I went there was for the mount. It's a very unique looking helicopter with a cannon in its mouth, and its one of the things a character rides around in the game. It has a good memory associated for me too, because I ran it with my guildies, and the mount dropped with like 10 people in the raid, everyone passed on it, cause they knew how badly I wanted it.
B00mBeast YT it was smy first special mount too, i didnt think it was special back then because i was a noob and i somehow got it on the first day it came out >.> but it's def one of my favs
I love all these mounts but my favorite is no doubt the Long Forgotten Hippogryph. It’s just. Really pretty and it was such a crazy thing to find out about and I was so happy getting it on my first try. The best and most rewarding part for me is that I decided to go for it just a few days after the very first finder announced it. There were so many people competing for it that day. I’m so lucky to have been the first to get it during that literally horrible race for it. Also the “cutscene” was pretty cool.
Invincible, 100%. I love the lore of it; & riding around on the Lich King's personal steed is pretty satisfying. After around three years of farming on & off, I got it last year on a run I did out of pure boredom - for once without the intention of having a stab at the drop chance. Completely freaked when i saw it whizz past while looting him :,). Now all I want are Mimi's head & the headless horseman's - but i've had enough of mount farming for now lmao
Andrew Simmons I know that feel. I have done it every week since mop minus a few months in wod. Before that I was running it for the mount drop at least once or twice a month.
I started starting playing wow during October. I remember I was a level 12 undead warrior. Im in brill admiring the festival. I then see someone ride past me on the headless horseman mount. That memory is crystal clear. Thats how awesome it is.
My little mount list is something like this: 1 - Ashes of Autism 2 - Headless Horseman mount 3 - Icebrood Vanquisher 4 - Invincible 5 - The mount from the Setthek Halls
To make you Nixxiom a little bit jealous, the first time i did that event, the Headless Horseman's Mount dropped and i prayed to get the mount while everyone else wanted it in the group, and well i got the Mount. It's still my favourite, and i use only this, i am also like you about Halloween. Where i live, in Hungary it's not a holiday, we just don't celebrate it, but once when my family went to the USA as we have some relatives living there, it was the time of Halloween. I was 13 or 14 years old, and this holiday just mesmerised me. I felt like i am in a completely different world. Later when i started playing WoW, and heard about this Halloween event in game, i really wanted to get that mount, and looked around on the net how to get it. I think, i was lucky then or something because it dropped the first time, and then i hit the need button, and somehow i got the mount somehow.
that doesn't count unless you'd be able to have it added to your mounts tab and use on all classes after getting the legendary. (got it on my lvl 100 warlock but arn'y using him anymore soooo.)
Thats a hassle lets be honest and still class locked they should give give people who earned the legendary acheivement for it the mount to their tab and also we need more mount morphs especially more dragons.
I love that you put the netherwing drakes on here ☺️ I feel like they're way cooler than people realize, the onyx one was my first mount that I grinded back in Cata and it's still one of my favorites
is it bad that i have only done tempest keep once, got ashes of al'ar, and fly my twilight drake instead? (which dropped during the last instance i ran before tempest keep)
I had almost forgotten the horror of grinding the Apexis crystal and then this video shows up. Thanks Nixxiom. I can't complain though. Ji-Kun and Astral Cloud Serpent both dropped with in a span of 30 mins.
I freakin' love the Flying Machine. It's great how the copter basically transforms for ground-hover and flying mode. Plus if you let it idle for a while your machine will stall and go through a "restart" animation.
i got on a mog run and i forgot about the actual mount lol, took me 4 months to realise it was in my bags only reason i didnt realise it was in there was because i did it once and 4 months later checked my bags properly
I remember getting Horseman's mount on the first try waaay back around 2008. I didn't know it had a .5 drop rate. If it makes you feel better, I have been farming the Raven Lord mount (Raven Lord is definitely in my top 10. I wish this at least got an honorable mention in your countdown) since BC launched.
Farming Ashes since BC, Invisible since WotLK, so...11 years maybe? 10 toons, every week. A friend joins the game, level up till 110, "i'm going to a transmog run to ICC, the armor looks cool", 25 minutes later "yo, i got invincible". 2 week later "yo, i got invincible again". Mi ex gf, "ohhhhh look how cute this raid is", -"where are you baby", "dunno, let me see, it says The Eye", "ok, are you farming the mount?". "What mount?". "Nevermind baby, it's hard to get it, enjoy". Like 10 minutes later, guild chat report "recieved ashes of Al'ar". GG
I think Invincible is too over the top imo, the wings are really ruining it for me. But it's still cool and I want it cause of the lore. (commenting on a year old post, yaaay)
I remember when I first saw Corrupted Dreadwing I said "f**k the gear, I need to have it* xD I still remember this grind for Apexis Crystal and the joy when i got the mount xD That was the only mount I used in WoD xD
My favorite part about the Netherwing drakes is that each one has it's own in game name and they decided to go with you, they weren't forced like our other mounts XD. Also I have seen my dad get the Headless Horseman's mount 3 times on the same character, and I still haven't gotten it so I know the feeling.
I fell in love with the ordinary red drake mount, because it was my first drake-mount. I used all the gold I had on it at the time, and I used the mount for years! still use it today!
I just started playing wow. I got that ugly bird mount at nr.10, but it is literally the ONLY fly mouth that i have...i just randomly got it. I'm a full noob who just went into a random portal and cleared it...yikes.
Awe! You should of saved Number 1 for the Top 10 Hybrid Mounts List. Where you note the "best" mounts that can be both a flying mount and a ground mount, (without looking silly after a while).
Nor am I a collector of mounts, but one some year during the last, hm, for of the eight years of play, I took the time to thoroughly play through Outland Shadowmoon. I found that questchain with the dragons so engaging and endearing. Sure I had seen those netherdrakes in Outland Shattrath and had always wondered why the vendor wouldn't sell to me. He'll, he wouldn't 't even speak to me. But after completing that chain, he did. I began to believe acquiring a netherdrake was doable. But good grief the repetitive and arduous grind to gain enough rep set me off the path. But they are still one of my more favored mounts. There's also a certain hippogryph I thought gorgeous though now I don't recall which it was. And there's a mount that sometimes is looted from the Court of Farondis emissary bag. Oh! So beautiful.
I know this comment is a bit late but I felt obliged to tell my tale of the Headless Horseman's mount nonetheless... It was the Hallow's End festivity, 2013. I had been trying for just under two weeks to get the mount across several characters, but to no avail. Halloween itself eventually rolled around and something spectacularly spooky happened. 31st October 2013. What better date? Halloween in 20-fucking-13 (for those that don't get it 13 is like, *THE* unlucky number). I was doing the dungeon for the first time that day. I loot the Horseman. There it was. I actually went batshit crazy. Probably my fondest and most coincidental WoW memory ever.
This will probably trigger you and most people but I started playing WoW actively when MoP was released. At the time I had been playing with a friend who was playing since vanilla and was also trying to get the Headless Horseman mount for years. He invites me to a party to queue up for the halloween dungeon, this is my first time ever doing the dungeon. The mount dropped for me, on my first try EVER.
I first started playing WoW towards the end of Wrath..only played until the free lvl 20 trial. I then came back for real towards the end of Cata...and one of my first times in Orgrimar I seen someone flying around on Invincible..right then I knew the reason I wanted to play WoW more. It took about 3 years of running ICC 25H at least once a week and me dying irl (unrelated to WoW) but after my car accident I was brought back to life like my main Undead Warlock...as soon as I was released from the hospitals and able to use my hands and wrists a little more, I logged in and headed to Ice Crown..finally Invincible dropped! I ride it everywhere I go! That same week..Mimron’s Head dropped too! That same year (last year) I was lucky enough to acquire The Headless Horsmens mount too..if there was a way man, I would give you the Horsemens mount.
I have a special love for the Onyxian Drake. I have had it for a while, but a friend of mine who is relatively new wanted to go mount grinding. When we downed Onyxia, her corpse was.... in the air. Floating. Out of reach. We saw it as a sign and tried our asses off to loot that damn corpse. Then, as a hunter, I had the idea to fly to Sholzar Basin and learn the ability Fetch so that we may loot it. And once i returned, my robotic sheep named Dolly ascended into the air and looted that Soab. And the mount dropped.
I have to admit my favorite flying mount is FelFire hawk. Despite I don't own it, it's just so beautiful and magnificent mount to see green fire hawk on the sky
Big time Wrath of the Lich King fanboy here, to this day my favorite expansion, but ahh.. favorite fliers? Definitely the Frostbrood Vanquishers hold a special place in there, as the coolest looking, and the old Netherwings are also something I loved grabbing. But my #1 favorite flying mount ain't there in Wrath. It's the Heart of the Nightwing. Going to get stabbed for saying this too, but idk why people hype over Invincible. Lore is great, sure, but for quality, the mount is garbage. The armor's colors are all over the place, the torso looks very bulky only for its ankles to be scrawny pencils stabbed into hollow hooves, and its wings look like they were plucked off the level 13 mobs from Vanilla Tirisfal. The DK class mount has better aesthetics.
Top 3, in ascending order. 3. Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher. Icecream Citadel will, and always has been, my favburite raid in the game. 2. The engineering Gyrocopter/Flying Machine. Nothing feels better than the first time you fly that fucking thing after grinding (Or buying) mats. 1. Invincible. Was there any doubt? I spent months, if not years, trying to get this mount and when it finally did, it dropped on the same run I got exalted with Ashen Verdict. Not to mention that Arthas and Sylvanas' lore will always have a special place in my heart since I grew up on Wacraft 3.
I currently have 3 flying mounts that I adore & plan to work towards as soon as I refill my subscription. The Armored Snowy Gryphon, Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent & Heart of the Aspects.
I have the Corrupted Dreadwing mount solely because people did those huge Apexis grinds at the Iron Front when Tanaan first came out. It only took me about 6 1/2 hours to go from 0 to 150,000
Damn, sorry to hear that about your Headless Horseman's mount. I got it the first Halloween I farmed it, but that was back before mounts were account wide and I never managed to get it on another character.
I love my Vitreous Stone Drake. I don't know how a dragon made of rock flies, but I love it. It has crystals sticking out everywhere, I don't even remember where I got it, and the only reason I use any other mount is because those mounts have merchants.
Onyx Netherwing Drake! I still use it to this day. I also love the Nether Rays (remember those? very iconic!) and yes, I did to the grind to get the Corrupted Dreadwing! I'm a big fan of drakes, proto-drakes, dragons, wyrms, and there's two mounts I still really, really want. The Raven Lord mount, and Invincible. Still don't have 'em. Ashes of Al'ar would be great to get, but I'm not actively farming it at all. Some mounts I got on the first try, others have either only dropped after intense farming, or, as with you and the Headless Horseman's mount, have never dropped. Good luck in getting it this year, in any case!
Time Lost Proto Drake for me. When I first got to Northrend way back in the day, my friend told me about it and how hard it was to get because of it's insane respawn time. I spent days and days just flying around on our nearly empty server but never once even saw it. Now with that area being crossrealm, it's even harder but I'm determined to get it one day.
So if I said I had gotten the Headless Horseman mount on 6 different characters before the mount sharing happened would this would upset you? (I had the time-lost proto drake 3 times)
I got the headless horseman mount last year on Halloween night. My city lost power for 6 days because of a Nor'ester, I was pissed, so on Halloween night I took my pc to work where we still had power, hooked it up and looted the damn mount that i spent over 12 years trying to get. Oh the excitement. I also went crazy during Wod collected the 150k crystals and got that big green flying bitch too. As well as the "of the jungle" and "predator" titles, now those were some friggen work..... love the videos, thanks!
pretty decent mount collector here. i have 7/10 of the ones on your list, some of these are ridiculously hard to get. i'll think up a top 10 and post it later.
when I took a flight path in the plaguelands about 7 years ago, I fell in love with the argent hippogryph. within the past couple of months I finally got it and I was so happy oh my god. got the silver covenant hippogryph shortly after and I have been trying to collect them all
I love all of these! I am missing three of these: The Grand War Gryphon, the Cenarion, and the Clutch. And some may hate me for this, but I got Ashes of Al'ar the first time I ever farmed the instance. I literally lost friends over it XD.
My first year of playing wow, I wasn't high enough lvl to do the Hallow's End dungeon, and was sad I couldn't try for the mount. The next year, I was able to do the dungeon. Got it the third time. On a related note: I got BOTH ram and kodo mounts in the same drop, the 5th time doing the Brew Fest dungeon, and got the love rocket the FIRST time doing the Love is in the Air dungeon. I guess I just got luck with the holiday ones? lol
"who would grind 150 000 apexis crystal?"
*raise hand* i had nothing better to do in wod
I did got it too lol, i always did my tanaan dailies because i had nothing better to do during summer break beside raiding 2 days a week so i figurered why not.
I thought it was just me
Me: Watches this video today
Hmmmm. Do I have 150k Apexis Crystals sitting on a toon I used to play during WoD?
And now I’m waiting on my retail WoW to update because I haven’t regularly played in over 2 years…
1) Icebound Frostbrood Vanquisher
2) Acherus Deathcharger
3) Invincible
4) Sylvanas Windrunner
5) Ironbound Proto-Drake
Daniel Klugscheisser The list should be "The top 5 things i want to ride"
Have all of them ;)
@@mrrrglllrrr i acually have a sylvanas pillow lol HAH
@@terresssolson A normal pillow or a body pillow?
Invi is the poor man's HH mount imo 😂
"fighting Arthas on the top of Ice cream Citadel" lol
Ashes of Autism... Perfect name.
I've been farming it over 6 years +/- and it never dropped.
I officially gave up when my noobish friend got it on first run. 😒
I know this comment is about a month old, but fuck me too, i've been farming ashes of alar since i started playing and it hasn't dropped, my friends promised me that they wouldn't roll if it dropped because i've been farming it for years. They only do the raid with me so.... yeah
vitusmedkatten i got it for a few gold on a private server ; )
Lucky
Warmane?
Phil The frog i dropped al ar at the second try lol
I wish i had a flying murloc :D
That would be dope af
Imagine one as a land mount running around like a dork with you on its back 😂 why isn't this a thing
I got the headless horseman mount when I wasn't even trying... but holy shit I didn't know it had a 0.5 drop chance
Siege Gaming Same here.
As did I. I was just doing it for fun (because at that point I had given up on it) and I killed the horseman opened my box got the mount and didn't even notice I had got it until like 20 minutes later.
Siege Gaming What do you have to do to get the Headless Horseman's Mount? I am a noob
-_-
When it's october and we have the Halloween event in game, you can que into a dungeon where you kill the Headless Horseman. He gives you a box that can drop it. You can only do it once a day per character, tho. Similar to the Big Love Rocket.
I've had this mount drop 4-5 times, never knew the drop chance was so low
I love the Azure Netherwing Drake. It was my first epic flying mount, and I remember how long the rep grind was.
Also the Phosphorescent Stone Drake. I got so incredibly lucky finding it right after Cataclysm came out.
My favourite are the squishy Nether Ray mounts from Burning Crusade! Often overlooked, but unique and cool!
The Nether Rays are cool, but god damn I could never dredge up the willpower to do that rep grind after doing the Netherwing rep grind.
I love those mounts!!!!!!!
Yes! Totally agree. Awesome mounts
Master Asia lol im the opposite , i did this one and i dont wanna do the netherwing one , but im a mount collector so im gonna do it someday
Astral Cloud Serpent is actually my favorite... and I got it on the first run when I decided to farm it. :'3
I actually did grind the crystals to get mount >,>
same.. it was easy xD
@Emma Sabourin I think it was kinda in the bag, if you played after WOD was over, and you still wanted dreanor flying unlocked. You would need to grind Tannan Jungle anyway, and where else do you spend your crystals - that's right, absolutely nothing except the mount. Because when I grinded all three Tannan reps, and got my flying unlocked during the legion expansion, I only had to do like two more dailies to have enough to but the mount.
Honestly I rode my Frostbrood Vanquisher everywhere for the longest time, but there is one mount I always find myself defaulting to whenever I play.
The Red Flying Cloud is such a simple disc with white smoke coming out the bottom, but as soon as I entered Eye of Eternity back in the day and saw the floating wizards doing their disco shit up in the sky, I knew that one day too I would ride and dance atop my disco disk.
R Hawley you should play a Mage in legion because you will be able to get one as your class hall mount
Mirimon's head is my favorite flying mount, You have to kill an old god to get it. Ulduar is a ton of fun to run even 50K times. There is so much content to the raid already, there's a legendary, there are pets now, and some really cool looking gear, not to mention the huge amount of lore to the place, Bt the reason I went there was for the mount. It's a very unique looking helicopter with a cannon in its mouth, and its one of the things a character rides around in the game. It has a good memory associated for me too, because I ran it with my guildies, and the mount dropped with like 10 people in the raid, everyone passed on it, cause they knew how badly I wanted it.
Netherwing Drakes look like a fucking potato mixed with a dragon. I named mine Nixxiom.
Yeah? please finish your last sentence. "I named my nixxiom" what?! What did you name your nixixom?!
dont think you want to know...
Dev Lightning Well, they probably mean their Drake.
English is not my first language, so that sentence kinda makes sense to me.
Please please please, tell me how did you get the quest!
My #1 mount is also the Headless Horseman's reigns. It looks amazing and it is the first and only hard to get mount that I got.
B00mBeast YT it was smy first special mount too, i didnt think it was special back then because i was a noob and i somehow got it on the first day it came out >.> but it's def one of my favs
Idk how I got it on the third time. I had no clue how rare it is.
“I have the attention span of a door knob” 😂😂😂 that’s great
I know someone who has the attention span of a goldfish
1. Turbo Charged Flying Machine
2. Onyx Netherwing Drake (For mad nostalgia reasons during TBC)
3. Tawny Wind Rider (Same reasons you liked the Hippogryph mount.)
1. Invincible
2. Ashes of alar
3.arcanist's manasaber
4. Life-binders handmaiden
5. Tyrael's charger
Neto Freitas i had it...but didnt feel like keeping up with wow for the year...its cool, but was a lame gimmick
I love the arcanists manasaber, but everyone and their mother has it now. Doesn't feel special to use :(.
I agree with you on 1 and 5. I would give up my soul, left and right nuts and my virginity for them both.
Emily Rowles Invincible, yes. Tyraels charger, YEEEEESSSS I want it so badly ;-;
Clutch of Reeeeeeee-Kun
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Kyle I'll never stream again if I don't get this mount
HE FUCKING LEARNED IT
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. YOU FUCKING IDIOT. NO. REEEEEEEEEEEEE
clutch of chicken
Thundering Onyx Cloud Serpent. Drop from Huolon on Timeless Isle. Drop rate: 1% And it's all MINE!!!!!
I love all these mounts but my favorite is no doubt the Long Forgotten Hippogryph. It’s just.

I just got Invincible on my first ever run of ICC
4:59-5:08.......O my dear Nixxiom you flatter me too much >.>.....
Anony Smith same
@Nixxiom You should like the Sandstone dragon then. You actually become a dragon ! :D
I started starting playing wow during October. I remember I was a level 12 undead warrior. Im in brill admiring the festival. I then see someone ride past me on the headless horseman mount. That memory is crystal clear. Thats how awesome it is.
My little mount list is something like this:
1 - Ashes of Autism
2 - Headless Horseman mount
3 - Icebrood Vanquisher
4 - Invincible
5 - The mount from the Setthek Halls
5. Raven Lord :)
Also mounts from Ahn'Qiraj were good :)
Got Raven Lord on second run. Only rare mount tha i get :(
Everbeen3 Shithead of mimoron?
My #1 mount would have to be your mom
joke's on you i have 2 dads
Reddix1993 that's why mine is the life-binder mount
Reddix1993 she can fly too?
main rogue?
xDDDDDDDDDD
The coolest mount in the game IMO is easily the Flameward Hippogryph. It's also the only mount I ever bothered to start grinding.
To make you Nixxiom a little bit jealous, the first time i did that event, the Headless Horseman's Mount dropped and i prayed to get the mount while everyone else wanted it in the group, and well i got the Mount. It's still my favourite, and i use only this, i am also like you about Halloween.

I think, i was lucky then or something because it dropped the first time, and then i hit the need button, and somehow i got the mount somehow.
netherwing drake was my absolute favorite and most memorable mount grind i ever did
same... did it at the beginning of WoTLK. I almost withered and perished while doing it. X.X
Top 1 definitely Mimiron's Head
Chapita123 nay good mount but not the best. Ulduar is the best raid btw
I was surprised to see the lack of love for mimi's head
I think you spelled Icecrown Citadel wrong.
A lot of people farmed for Ashes of Alar or Headless Horseman but Mimoron's Head how many people do you see with that mount!
I spend more time farming that helicopter than any other raid mount.
Vial of the sands dragons FTW!
Wish we had more dragon form mounts though...
There's Dragonwrath Tarecgosa's Rest which transforms you into a unique blue drake! It's a Legendary too, from back when they were special.
that doesn't count unless you'd be able to have it added to your mounts tab and use on all classes after getting the legendary. (got it on my lvl 100 warlock but arn'y using him anymore soooo.)
not to mention you have to have it equipped
You can unequip it while the mount channel is going off and you won't demorph, I have a macro set for mine!
More morphs would be quite nice though.
Thats a hassle lets be honest and still class locked they should give give people who earned the legendary acheivement for it the mount to their tab and also we need more mount morphs especially more dragons.
0:38 Oooohhh, ishnu alah
I love that you put the netherwing drakes on here ☺️ I feel like they're way cooler than people realize, the onyx one was my first mount that I grinded back in Cata and it's still one of my favorites
is it bad that i have only done tempest keep once, got ashes of al'ar, and fly my twilight drake instead? (which dropped during the last instance i ran before tempest keep)
thundering onyx cloud serpent.
Fucking weaboo
+Lao Tseu EdgeLordWeeb* jk thats one of my favorites too

i got the headless horseman's mount this year :3
2:43 "what is up here?"
whats the derp kazoo song called on number 9?
I had almost forgotten the horror of grinding the Apexis crystal and then this video shows up. Thanks Nixxiom.
I can't complain though. Ji-Kun and Astral Cloud Serpent both dropped with in a span of 30 mins.
I got Ashes of Al'ar on my first ever run. Please don't hurt me...
Enphest Cook I will find you...
Enphest don’t worry I got invincible on my third run
Got it on my 1st run xd
Don't worry I got it on my first try too
I don't know who these people are but..
I will run from you,
and i will hide from you.
Enphest WHAT THE
Spawn of Galakras.
Invincible
I can't see it.
I lost my invisible
I freakin' love the Flying Machine. It's great how the copter basically transforms for ground-hover and flying mode. Plus if you let it idle for a while your machine will stall and go through a "restart" animation.
1) Big Love Rocket
2) Infinite Timereaver
3) Heavenly Onyx Cloud Soipent
4) Spawn of Galakras
5) Invincible
My #1 mount is Invincible. You don’t need any other mount. Ever.
10 billion times to get Al'ar? Lol, got it on 3rd try :D
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck You
Anagalf i got the deathcharge in my ver y first try
Same
Fuck u man
i got on a mog run and i forgot about the actual mount lol, took me 4 months to realise it was in my bags
only reason i didnt realise it was in there was because i did it once and 4 months later checked my bags properly
FUKING INVINCIBLE FTW is my favorite mount beach^^
everybody wants it so it aint special anymore its boring!
Maybe but it's still my favorite mount and i am still using it to this day^^
How do you find the quests for netherwings? I can’t find it. I’m such a noob.
I remember getting Horseman's mount on the first try waaay back around 2008. I didn't know it had a .5 drop rate. If it makes you feel better, I have been farming the Raven Lord mount (Raven Lord is definitely in my top 10. I wish this at least got an honorable mention in your countdown) since BC launched.
Wtf I farmed it for a month and I got. I feels bad man
Armored skyscreamer
Galakras
Big love rocket
Astral cloud serpent
Emerald hyppogryph is pretty
Heavenly onyx serpent
mcrettable not like you'll ever get the heavenly onyx serpent
First ever top 10 flying mounts video i've seen, where Invincible wasn't included in the list AT ALL, gah damn
DylanThaLaw it's not that cool it's just super rare
how is it not that cool, its a dead flying horse.
My friend got ashes of autism on his first try, the he ran the raid with me, and then I got it!
I got mimorons head on first try though
Lucky
I got it on my 3rd try. Still pretty lucky I thought
1. Invincible
2. Mystic Runesaber
3. Headless Horseman's Reins (Halloween
I just got my headless horsemen mount on my first hollows end today and got my corrupted dread wing this year.
8:51 my vest friend got that mount first time he kill the headless
3 expansions and i cant still get Invincible and Ashes of Alar
Farming Ashes since BC, Invisible since WotLK, so...11 years maybe? 10 toons, every week. A friend joins the game, level up till 110, "i'm going to a transmog run to ICC, the armor looks cool", 25 minutes later "yo, i got invincible". 2 week later "yo, i got invincible again". Mi ex gf, "ohhhhh look how cute this raid is", -"where are you baby", "dunno, let me see, it says The Eye", "ok, are you farming the mount?". "What mount?". "Nevermind baby, it's hard to get it, enjoy". Like 10 minutes later, guild chat report "recieved ashes of Al'ar". GG
no invincible disappointed 😞
Would have been a too easy guess. Plus maybe its not number one cause everyone hates it for not dropping XD
I got invincible first try farming it
I think Invincible is too over the top imo, the wings are really ruining it for me. But it's still cool and I want it cause of the lore.
(commenting on a year old post, yaaay)
Ikr
I remember when I first saw Corrupted Dreadwing I said "f**k the gear, I need to have it* xD I still remember this grind for Apexis Crystal and the joy when i got the mount xD That was the only mount I used in WoD xD
Can you tell me what that staff transmog is?
Nixxiom senpai please if you and your sexy beard read this pin me daddy!
This better be sarcastic.
Felsteel Annihilator, nuff said.....
me and My Friend farmed ashes after 4 tries it dropped
we rolled for it
i rolled 94 he rolled 92 xD
you two must not be friends anymore
Dev Lightning well after 297 attempts of it not dropping we stopped talking
My favorite part about the Netherwing drakes is that each one has it's own in game name and they decided to go with you, they weren't forced like our other mounts XD. Also I have seen my dad get the Headless Horseman's mount 3 times on the same character, and I still haven't gotten it so I know the feeling.
I fell in love with the ordinary red drake mount, because it was my first drake-mount. I used all the gold I had on it at the time, and I used the mount for years! still use it today!
I just started playing wow. I got that ugly bird mount at nr.10, but it is literally the ONLY fly mouth that i have...i just randomly got it. I'm a full noob who just went into a random portal and cleared it...yikes.
Nice try to troll
@@Malugako Why are you jealous spongebob-kun?
@@pittayayas im not the mountbis ugly and I play this game for 10 days 😂
Awe! You should of saved Number 1 for the Top 10 Hybrid Mounts List. Where you note the "best" mounts that can be both a flying mount and a ground mount, (without looking silly after a while).
Nor am I a collector of mounts, but one some year during the last, hm, for of the eight years of play, I took the time to thoroughly play through Outland Shadowmoon. I found that questchain with the dragons so engaging and endearing. Sure I had seen those netherdrakes in Outland Shattrath and had always wondered why the vendor wouldn't sell to me. He'll, he wouldn't 't even speak to me. But after completing that chain, he did. I began to believe acquiring a netherdrake was doable. But good grief the repetitive and arduous grind to gain enough rep set me off the path. But they are still one of my more favored mounts. There's also a certain hippogryph I thought gorgeous though now I don't recall which it was. And there's a mount that sometimes is looted from the Court of Farondis emissary bag. Oh! So beautiful.
Lol you killed me when you said “attention span of a doorknob” lol and the mount I want more than anything is the headless horseman mount too
I know this comment is a bit late but I felt obliged to tell my tale of the Headless Horseman's mount nonetheless...
It was the Hallow's End festivity, 2013. I had been trying for just under two weeks to get the mount across several characters, but to no avail. Halloween itself eventually rolled around and something spectacularly spooky happened.
31st October 2013. What better date? Halloween in 20-fucking-13 (for those that don't get it 13 is like, *THE* unlucky number).
I was doing the dungeon for the first time that day. I loot the Horseman. There it was. I actually went batshit crazy. Probably my fondest and most coincidental WoW memory ever.
What was that machinima at the end of this video?
1:00 - attention span of a doorknob
5:25 - same I wanted and still want that hypogriff so much !
This will probably trigger you and most people but I started playing WoW actively when MoP was released. At the time I had been playing with a friend who was playing since vanilla and was also trying to get the Headless Horseman mount for years. He invites me to a party to queue up for the halloween dungeon, this is my first time ever doing the dungeon. The mount dropped for me, on my first try EVER.
I first started playing WoW towards the end of Wrath..only played until the free lvl 20 trial. I then came back for real towards the end of Cata...and one of my first times in Orgrimar I seen someone flying around on Invincible..right then I knew the reason I wanted to play WoW more. It took about 3 years of running ICC 25H at least once a week and me dying irl (unrelated to WoW) but after my car accident I was brought back to life like my main Undead Warlock...as soon as I was released from the hospitals and able to use my hands and wrists a little more, I logged in and headed to Ice Crown..finally Invincible dropped! I ride it everywhere I go! That same week..Mimron’s Head dropped too! That same year (last year) I was lucky enough to acquire The Headless Horsmens mount too..if there was a way man, I would give you the Horsemens mount.
I have a special love for the Onyxian Drake. I have had it for a while, but a friend of mine who is relatively new wanted to go mount grinding. When we downed Onyxia, her corpse was.... in the air. Floating. Out of reach. We saw it as a sign and tried our asses off to loot that damn corpse. Then, as a hunter, I had the idea to fly to Sholzar Basin and learn the ability Fetch so that we may loot it. And once i returned, my robotic sheep named Dolly ascended into the air and looted that Soab.
And the mount dropped.
I have to admit my favorite flying mount is FelFire hawk. Despite I don't own it, it's just so beautiful and magnificent mount to see green fire hawk on the sky
Big time Wrath of the Lich King fanboy here, to this day my favorite expansion, but ahh.. favorite fliers?
Definitely the Frostbrood Vanquishers hold a special place in there, as the coolest looking, and the old Netherwings are also something I loved grabbing.
But my #1 favorite flying mount ain't there in Wrath. It's the Heart of the Nightwing.
Going to get stabbed for saying this too, but idk why people hype over Invincible. Lore is great, sure, but for quality, the mount is garbage. The armor's colors are all over the place, the torso looks very bulky only for its ankles to be scrawny pencils stabbed into hollow hooves, and its wings look like they were plucked off the level 13 mobs from Vanilla Tirisfal. The DK class mount has better aesthetics.
Top 3, in ascending order.
3. Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher. Icecream Citadel will, and always has been, my favburite raid in the game.
2. The engineering Gyrocopter/Flying Machine. Nothing feels better than the first time you fly that fucking thing after grinding (Or buying) mats.
1. Invincible. Was there any doubt? I spent months, if not years, trying to get this mount and when it finally did, it dropped on the same run I got exalted with Ashen Verdict. Not to mention that Arthas and Sylvanas' lore will always have a special place in my heart since I grew up on Wacraft 3.
I currently have 3 flying mounts that I adore & plan to work towards as soon as I refill my subscription. The Armored Snowy Gryphon, Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent & Heart of the Aspects.
*"attention span of a doorknob"* is my new motto
I have the Corrupted Dreadwing mount solely because people did those huge Apexis grinds at the Iron Front when Tanaan first came out. It only took me about 6 1/2 hours to go from 0 to 150,000
1:13 song?
Damn, sorry to hear that about your Headless Horseman's mount. I got it the first Halloween I farmed it, but that was back before mounts were account wide and I never managed to get it on another character.
I love my Vitreous Stone Drake. I don't know how a dragon made of rock flies, but I love it. It has crystals sticking out everywhere, I don't even remember where I got it, and the only reason I use any other mount is because those mounts have merchants.
Onyx Netherwing Drake! I still use it to this day. I also love the Nether Rays (remember those? very iconic!) and yes, I did to the grind to get the Corrupted Dreadwing! I'm a big fan of drakes, proto-drakes, dragons, wyrms, and there's two mounts I still really, really want. The Raven Lord mount, and Invincible. Still don't have 'em. Ashes of Al'ar would be great to get, but I'm not actively farming it at all. Some mounts I got on the first try, others have either only dropped after intense farming, or, as with you and the Headless Horseman's mount, have never dropped. Good luck in getting it this year, in any case!
Time Lost Proto Drake for me. When I first got to Northrend way back in the day, my friend told me about it and how hard it was to get because of it's insane respawn time. I spent days and days just flying around on our nearly empty server but never once even saw it.
Now with that area being crossrealm, it's even harder but I'm determined to get it one day.
do you now have horsmanman's mount?
So if I said I had gotten the Headless Horseman mount on 6 different characters before the mount sharing happened would this would upset you? (I had the time-lost proto drake 3 times)
My number one was corrupted firehawk! I just loved how big and purple and imposing it was.
I got the headless horseman mount last year on Halloween night. My city lost power for 6 days because of a Nor'ester, I was pissed, so on Halloween night I took my pc to work where we still had power, hooked it up and looted the damn mount that i spent over 12 years trying to get. Oh the excitement. I also went crazy during Wod collected the 150k crystals and got that big green flying bitch too. As well as the "of the jungle" and "predator" titles, now those were some friggen work..... love the videos, thanks!
10. ghastly charger
9. rusted proto-drake
8. sky golem
7. thundering onyx cloud serpent
6. corrupted fire hawk
5. astral cloud serpent
4. pureblood fire hawk
3. mimiron's head
2. ironbound proto-drake
1. heavenly onyx cloud serpent (have it ;))
pretty decent mount collector here. i have 7/10 of the ones on your list, some of these are ridiculously hard to get. i'll think up a top 10 and post it later.
when I took a flight path in the plaguelands about 7 years ago, I fell in love with the argent hippogryph. within the past couple of months I finally got it and I was so happy oh my god. got the silver covenant hippogryph shortly after and I have been trying to collect them all
I love all of these!
I am missing three of these: The Grand War Gryphon, the Cenarion, and the Clutch.
And some may hate me for this, but I got Ashes of Al'ar the first time I ever farmed the instance. I literally lost friends over it XD.
i hate u.
But i got Ji-kun recently. HA! lol
° Time lost Protodrake (aka 5 days of perma hunt)
° Onyx Netherdrake
° Engineer Gyro-copter
I didn't realize the headless horseman mount was .5% chance drop. Last Halloween was the first time that i was able to do the event and I got it haha.
War hippogryph is my thing. Took me years on and off to finally get it. I love it
My first year of playing wow, I wasn't high enough lvl to do the Hallow's End dungeon, and was sad I couldn't try for the mount. The next year, I was able to do the dungeon. Got it the third time.
On a related note: I got BOTH ram and kodo mounts in the same drop, the 5th time doing the Brew Fest dungeon, and got the love rocket the FIRST time doing the Love is in the Air dungeon. I guess I just got luck with the holiday ones? lol
felt like you were straight up talking to me at the corrupted dreadwing mount lmao
I feel your pain, I've tried to get Headless horseman's mount for years. Wish you luck on 2017's Halloween, Nixxiom.
