Farming and collecting various things in an MMO has to be the purest form of content. I've been unsubbed from WoW for a bit over a whole year now, but if I suddenly was forced to play I'd probably log in and do another Icecrown run to see if I get Invincible, to only then question my life after not receiving it for the millionth time... And of course be back to try next week. A potentially endless spiral into insanity :)
That being said, I'm not even that big of a collector or completionist, I just kind of go for the stuff I want. And the best experience I've probably had with that is getting Ashes of Al'ar on my second or so Kael kill, which is also my favourite mount. Kind of recall how some people at the time were ranting to me how they haven't gotten it in hundreds and hundreds of tries and just fount it funny.

glad to see you back, the first clip hurt me PHYSICALLY and emotionally, took me 4 years to get that mount
Pure comedy
Absolutely love your content! Keep it up fam
The frenzied Invicible Collector-Orc!!! X'D
Man I laughed so hard I'm sweating.
(28° degree here)
It makes me wonder: Are protective sleeves for cards truly protective, or are they a PRISON...
That pet collecting bit was meatcanyon level horror
So not horror at all?
@@turcanudan9386 WOW SO HARDCORE.
@@3lit3gn0m3 ?
Yea it reminded me the Garfield vid
The horror wasn't even the video, it was the pet-battle as a concept
The part about getting tired of the tmog immediately was very accurate
Indeed. Farmed a helmet for DK set for literally years... And immediately abandoned it and made another transmog.
Just like the time when I were farming a helmet for a priest...
No matter, how many times I've farmed through a gddmn tier to get my "new" set for my warr, I always ended up using the old ICC set. I don't even know whyy I was so adamant in trying at all!
i was expect "/love" for "To All The Squirrels I've Loved"
Addicted to the luck and gambling aspect of it all.
Holy crap. I gotta say, the animation keeps getting better and better with every video. Big thumbs up.
1:57 I feel personally attacked.
*Leaves to go farm another set
A fellow set farmer like me, cant just get enough lol
Not even kidding I remember spending months doing balance of power for a new shield appearance only to find out that the way it sits on my back ruins the entire appearance essentially I wasted all that time for nothing
@@BKBK-yo1zz Errr... why not use the dressing room thingy with ctrl?
@@stankobarabata2406 because you can only see the standard artifact appearance with the dressing room
okay look i only do it after having the set because after awhile i notice things on the set that annoy me okay ...... its not a addiction i can quite whenever
That was disturbing, thank you. Made my day.
Even though I stopped collecting pets years ago, that part genuinely made me feel bad. =')
I LOVE when you take things that seem completely ordinary in the world of Azeroth and put your spin on them.
I wholeheartedly agree! that scene was genuinely horrifyingly tragic.
Please make it go away from my mind. I cant.
Same, poor Cinder Kitten QQQQQ
"And now to never bring you out again.. like the rest of them"
That sums up collection of anything in WoW
I would say that the things portrayed in this video can be applied to most other MMOs as well.
@@muffetmissulena6540 Possible, I don't play other MMOs, but this is why I left WoW.. or one of the reason, so I identify it with that
@@tomasplanicka2539 I play MMO since 30 years,and i confirm,is like that in absolute all mmo.
Human are greedy "-"
When the world needed him most, he returned
lol, the most rewarding way to get the "Going Down?" achievement is by accident, which is how I got all of mine. :D
lol i got it farming blackrock foundry one day XD
My first "Going down" was an accident. I just want to try new demonhunter class fly on mount and use a wings to land. I just forgot you can be rewarded for something like that.
Love the detail of how Tirion just slowly backs away as the orc is having a mental breakdown. Great animation as usual!
Dont let Asmon see this, hes gonna brag about how he got Invincible like 8 times just cause.
For sure do not show this too Richwcampbell. Haha
@@Eaglebrace A A A A A A A
Ya but he's never gonna get the sword, so it balances out.
Dude is too busy gambling again
@@RunehearthCL unfortuantely this could be Rich or Asmon that you're refering to now :(
cpt grim is the only part of WoW i still actively pay attention to and watch because its still fun and entertaining even without playing the game itself
Can confirm. Haven't played WoW, still hilarious.
Or paying $15 a month
Same. Farming Invincible for 1 million times brought back a bit of nostalgia - but not enough to draw me to the game anymore. Glad I've overcome that addiction... But Cpt. Grim is always hilarious!
@@tylorhobbs8920 Likewise. I was introduced to Captain Grimm due to the UA-cam algorithm bringing his WoW player to FF14 video. I was instantly intrigued-I’m a FF14 player that never played WoW (and FF11 before that) and I was curious about how accurate the video was. It took me a couple weeks of steadily learning the lore, world, gameplay loops and community type but I found out the video was accurate and cleverly woven in with a great sense of humour.
But I wanted more, so I kept learning until I could easily follow the Shadowland story and thus his funny take on it. It was totally worth the effort.
A friend of mine is farming Mirmiron's Head for almost 3 years now, every week he goes there to see if he gets it...i got mine while randomly farming some tier armor sets with my brother...he really wanted me to get kicked from the guild after that.
A friend of mine cursed at me multiple times now cause he played for years and never got mounts like Invincible, Mimiron's Head and the Drake of the South winds and I got them pretty quickly. The later I actually got in my first try and thought to be 100% drop chance. My most recent mount is the Midnight from Legion Karazhan. Took me a month to get it
I got Invincible after a decent bit of farming on all my characters. A couple of years later during BfA I told a friend of mine, "Hey I've got a good feeling, let's go get you Invincible, I have a good feeling." we run it, they loot, nothing. I loot Invincible again, and trade it to them before they realize what even happened. The amount of bewildered swearing was hilarious. They joke I have a horseshoe up my ass because of my luck with mounts.
@@MrNozes Yeah, same thing happened to me back in mop when I returned after a 5 month break. Killed Houlon while exploring what the island had to offer and got it 1st try. Thought it was 100% and told my friend with whom I was on skype that I got it. Man, the cursing afterwards just made it sweeter xD.
Mimiron's Head was the only raid mount that ever dropped on me and I got it on the very first try. It still feels surreal...
It dropped for me first try before I knew mount farming was a thing so I assumed they made all old raid mounts drop 100%. I also got the clutch of Kun lai (dont actually remember the name) the same day which further reinforced my belief.
"I fear no man...but that thing..."
*looks at battle pet collector*
"It scares me."
You think this is bad?
How about you been this pet forcing to fight with team of another "pets" based on something called "balance" in something called "Peeveepee". Brrr
Dont worry, we got daddy blizz looking out for us nerfing drachryr flying speed so pet collectors wont be as powerfull
hey i'm not talking about that freak all right ? ... He's not here is he ? I need to get out of here !
I see myself in the pet collector and i loved it
On parle bien des mascottes et pas des mamans...right ?
@@Darzgul_YT wtf
Tu joues à WoW toi ?
@@fuzzy8889 Inside joke, Fildrong is a famous French pokemon player
1:28 _"...Achievements...?"_ The whole video is awesome, but that part is just too perfect.
Starting to think the old gods aren't some extra-terrestrial threat but a mini-Slaanesh created by the brainrot of farming collectables.
2:11 Most well adjusted battle pet collector
The bit with Arthas getting looted and screaming like a little girl only to have it sullied by no mount drop is worth every viewing of this video lol
I've never been more personally attacked in my life during the first quarter of this video. It's bordering on a assassination at how accurate it is.
Know a guy who's been farming Invincible for 10 years plus, told all of us if we ever got it to just not tell him we did. He said some other choice words I can't repeat here as to why 😂😅
@@sonofthebearking3335 i have 2 friends that started playing in WoD and got it in sub 30 attempts each meanwhile i started in wrath and still dont have it... they never even use it is the worst part, its just a number to them.
During WoD I went to Outland to compare them / nostalgia reasons. While there i decided to do a run through Sethekk Halls. I don't collect mount and this was my first run through since TBC. I got the mount and a guy in my guild went nuts. He said he'd been farming it weekly for years.
@@firstLast-jw7bm no life, when I used to play this game non stop I had absolutely nothing going on in my life.
Was one of the first mounts I got collecting them. I thought it had a high rate drop
@@Xplorewme You have WoW going on!
I had something similar happen in Strathholm when I got the death charger on my first run. People would message me in private and give me death threats because of it.
well he didn't farm hard enough it seems
As someone who farmed the mount for 4 years, I feel ya
....and i really am that guy who gets it on his first or second go :P
@@Stephno86 that happened to me when I was farming Ashes of Al'ar and the Antoran Charhound XD
Jesus christ. And that was fun for you?
@@yungoldman2823 did you watch the video?
@@MrLolguy93 Ashes ,midnight,Blackpaw, first go..and more but i cant think of them haha..i did get The invincible on my 2nd go....i was disapointed with the wait :P the guild collectors where PISSED!! lol
For the guy farming invincible, if only the boss would also drop a token that after collecting so many you can just exchange for the mount....like a far more successful game allows you to.
Imagine turning in a bunch of tokens and still being excited that you got it. Im sure everyone else has it too. Whats even the point.
@@SomeThyngMorbid It's hardly an achievement though, getting it simply means you got lucky nowadays. If you had it while it was relevant? Yeah, that's a flex.
Dumb luck, on the other hand, is nothing to be proud of. Who cares if everyone else has it when it is no longer relevant, lmao.
@@zhenoob do you even play wow? Turn the game on and look around at peoples mounts. You're just saying things to say them. Some of the best looking mounts are currency based and theyre never used.
@@SomeThyngMorbid Yea, I joined up late in SoO and was a casual-ish raider (heroic/mid-mythic) up till I left after downing mythic Council in Nathria.
During that time, I farmed my Invincible within 2 months on my main, while my friend who has been playing much longer than me has never gotten it despite farming it religiously on multiple toons. It felt really meaningless to me, because there was no skill involved, I just went in, 1 shot everything, and got lucky.
I believe that there should be bad luck protection for everything, which WoW did use to have with badges of justice and valour back in WotLK. My luck was so poor in the Nathria tier that I literally had not a single mythic level weapon drop (i226) for that entire tier, despite raiding mythic and clearing at least 10 M15 dungeons every week for the weekly chest. It was ridiculous, and contributed strongly to me leaving. I would probably have stayed if there was a way to buy mythic level gear with tokens, much like how you can buy Savage gear in FFXIV with enough raid tokens (1 token/boss/week).
@@zhenoob everyone who farms mounts has one that just wont drop. Ive gone years farming onyxia and i still dont have it. Id feel like i cheated if they put in bad luck protection and it dropped. But to each its own. Rng giveth and rng taketh
As an avid battle pet collector, I feel personally attacked.
Is he wrong thou?
So do the critters, you monster.
Youuuuuu monster
thats because you are personally attacked
Bro really summarised the whole WoW player base in just 3 minutes 💀
I had spent years trying to get Mimiron's Head to no avail, yet I somehow got Ashes of Al’ar without even trying.
RNG is a fickle bitch.
I got Mimiron on 2nd or 3rd run :) , still no luck with Ashes or fkn Invincible
It took me under five runs to get BOTH the mounts from Throne of Thunder. Meanwhile I've done Return to Karazhan so many times, and still have not gotten Midnight
I think I got Ashes in less than 10 pulls. Still don't have many of 1% mounts I've been farming though.
I was farming Rivendare's from vanilla through to shitshowlands, never even seen it drop, possibly the worst luck ever. But I had a new friend I met in shadowlands and we'd shared our stories her of farming Invincible me an endless Rivendare. A few weeks later 3 of us went to do ICC runs together and in my loot was Invincible, never tried farming it before, but there it was. Before the others could even react I had the trade window open and gave it to them. I knew well the pain of an unending search and I had a way to stop that cycle for them, that horse brought them far more joy and relief than it would to me. I never did get Rivendare's before quitting but I got to witness the joy of a years long search ending and one of us finally got our pony.
That 1% and lower mount drops is what seems to keep players still in game…
Pro tip you can achieve the falling achievement using a goblin glider kit ya still counts as falling 🤷🏻♂️
Or dropping as a druid then going back in flight mode lol
Or using a demon hunter gliding ability
Or taking the shortcut off the top of the tree in the nelf starter zone.
**laughs in Pandaren** Bouncy bouncy bouncy
Or ask a "friendly" priest for levitate
PS. There a no friendly priest.. they are all insane
- Father...Did it drops?..
- No mount drops today, my son. See you on the next week.
To any new players to WoW, good luck becoming a collector. BEYOND overwhelming.
No one should be playing wow. You're an abuser if you do
@@magamisic5924 really your an absolute loser if you play any games, so let's enjoy them together! #losersclub
@@magamisic5924 "Abuser"? Think you mean masochist.
Why
@@evanshlom1 the countless things you'd have to farm, many on a daily or weekly lock, for abysmally low drop rates in a ton of areas throughout all expansions since vanilla.
It's beyond daunting. A colossal undertaking.
Lich King screaming at the top of his lungs, I'm dead.
You know it’s going to be a great day when Grim releases a new video. Thank you, it was great. I can’t relate to that orc at the start though because I got Invincible too.
I will never forget watching the heavenly onyx cloud serpent drop for a recruit guildie on their very first attempt. I damn near shut off my game and put my head through the wall lol.
I made promise like 11 years ago that when I will get Invincible I will be free from WoW. Dropped last week after 11 years of waiting. Unninstalled WoW, Im free, same as Arthas. It IS really over my King.
Jesus man farming a mount you’re never gonna use for 11 years just cause lol
@@SavageGameHawk well, it only helped me to say enough. All these bizzard changes and moves. That drop only gave me peace.
Life is much better without WoW. You earned your rest.
See you in Dragonflight!!! :D
@@opo3628 I actually dont know anyone from my friends who are looking forward to Dragonflight. One of em will "complete" wrath classic, but I've never seen this little interest. Personally I'll be tending my private island in ff14.
the fall achievement is actually quite easy to do. In the night elf starting area, the first big tree where all the NPCs are, has planks which go to the right side where you can jump off the spiral up-way thing. One of them has a jump that goes right between split roots which is slightly lower then other terrain. If you press jump, then aim forward into that spot - you'll get the achievement every time. I always did it for fun when I was experimenting with night elves.
Farmed Invincible for 7 years on 4 different toons one a week on each.
Finally dropped, and I haven't set foot in ICC since.
You have no idea how happy I was to see a Captain Grim upload :D
when invincible finally drops; "father...is it... over"
At long last...
At long last .. he has the mount their is no reason for him to go back.
No farming forever my son
I was farming it for about 8 months. I got used to it not dropping that when i got it, it was sitting in my bag for about 4 days without me noticing it.
What is a hunter without the hunt
Thankfully I still haven’t gotten it so I get to keep torturing myself
Arthas: Father, is it over?
Orc: *It's not over until I say it's over.*
Your mouth-dubbing animations have gotten insanely good over the last bunch of videos!
you vs the collector she tells you not to worry about
That orc with the face when asking: "Achievements?" still kills me till this day 1:28
Thats exactly how i always imagined those collectors look like, when they just randomly farm things they dont want while you... REALLY want that one thing and it never drops.
I never played wow, but found this channel through the ffxiv communities, that said, this content is so high quality that even people with no wow experience can really appreciate it.
I’m the same in how we found Captain Grimm from his FF14 video, but I took the time to learn about WoW so I could appreciate them better. I regret nothing.
This was honestly scary. Well done.
Can’t agree with you more about that Invincible farm. Been farming for years and at certain points I’ve definitely lost my sanity
The same with Ashes of A'lar tried for ages to get it, gave up in the end..
Invincible in like 2 weeks of farming here.
@@Ghastly10
Would it be bad to mention I got it on 3rd kill and only kept coming back to Tempest for elusive mogs and pets? I noticed I somehow had amazing luck with rare mounts after I unsubscribed for months and came back. I suspect there is some sort of program running in the background that increases rare drop chance for returning players to give them the shot of motivation in order to keep them subscribed for longer.
Tirion: You did it champion! Our world is saved!
Orc: I DON'T FUCKING CARE DUDE I JUST WANT HIS FREAKING MOUNT
Yep you nailed pet collectors flawlessly
The set part hit me like a drunk stepfather from alabama. Couldn't relate more.
The critter collecting bit made me feel really bad for capturing anything, let alone even fighting them in the first place :’(
Your animation rigging is getting so good. I'm proud of ya.
2:09 I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. The sounds and the moans he makes are just perfect. I still love using that tmog though lol. I'd love to see this character in future videos.
Holy Hell so spot on. For me, it was Rivendare's Deathcharger and...and Invincible. Oh god, I hated both Stratholme and Icecrown. I still do. Some friends want to do them for nostalgia and I literally go: "Haha, no." followed by internal screaming. And they wonder why I don't want to go to either.
I was just leveling an alt when Rivendare dropped, certainly wasn’t farming. Actually I didn’t even know it was rare at the time. No longer playing, but Captain Grim is worth watching.
Better story than wow's current writing team could come up with in 10 years.
😂
That mount one has brought back so many triggering memories. Knew a Dude that got sha of anger mount early MoP and he said he didn't like and won't ever use it.
It took me 10 years to get Invincible… I feel his pain. Oddly enough, a friend of mine got it on his first ever run. I was soo mad 😂
i feel ya. One of my guildmate had more than 7000 runs before getting it
I got it before him, less than 200 runs. He was mad and i can't blame him
Fun/sad fact: Ran Firelands with friends for mogs and I get the fiery chicken on our third go. This is basically how the dialogue went.
Friend: (reading logs) Oh neat, you got the mount!
Me: Really? Cool. (click)
Friend: Yeah, I've been farming that since........ Wait, did you just--
Me: ...
Friend: Drac.
Me: _It was a knee-jerk reaction, I'm sorry._
Friend: _DRAC_
I really felt that at 0:16... how many years has it been
The best machinima channel ever
Hahaha aww the pet bag portion made me laugh but also made me feel so guilty. This video felt very targeted towards my interests XD
As a collector myself, I can attest that this video is spot on LOL
Welcome back! And I know the feeling from the first guy I farmed Ashes of A’lar since cataclysm on and off. Finally got it last year or the year before which sucks because I rarely ever play retail and play mainly classic.
I am the guy who got it first try 😉
Sorry, but the hassle to get Ashes compared to Invincible isnt the same even in the slightest. You can directly run to Kel and skip everything, in ICC you have to beat every fucking boss (at least when I did it) besides the heal boss. Sure, you could create a second account and have a 11/12 boss kill ID ready, but that will cost you 15 bucks every month extra and you need a 2nd PC/laptop for it. Though if I would want the mount no matter what Id probably pay it. ^^
My "Invicible"/Moby Dick was the Pattern for the T5 chain belt. I farmed it until some month ago since Cata/Pandaria.
the ending is perfect, you're a master when it comes to animation and storytelling
you flatter me! glad you enjoyed it :)
This is inaccurate. This video needs to be over 100+ hours long.
You forgot the part where you have to farm transmog for weapon types that your character can’t even equip. Shoutout to the broken transmog ID system. Great video grim
LMAO. The pet battle left me in tears, you earned a sub from me hahaha.
And again an amazing video Grim. Great work and awesome way to show how some collectors might think. :)
Never thought I’d be so disturbed and entertained at the same time
The pet collector was the absoloute most accurate one
-Father..! Is it over?
-Hell no, they'll farm you for that damn mount of yours on possibly 7 alts, EVERY SINGLE FUCKING WEEK... A befitting punishment.
Oh c'mon youtube didn't even notify me on Cpt. Grim video...
You are a genius, love all your machiminas
Me a precata mog hunter: Mounts? pets? PFFFT Ya gotta have that grunge precata look!
NO flash, NO shiny, just simplistic beauty! GLOURIOUS!
My Mag'har Orc in Scarlet gear. THE pinnacle of "DAMN I LOOK GOOD!"
I swear your editing gets better and better with every video! 🤩
lmao i can relate to the first one. My friend was farming ICC for invincible, and I popped in to do the last few bosses with him because I was bored, and I got the mount. I never farmed for it. My buddy is still farming it to this day...
I can relate to that orc. The baron mount (blue undead horse) has never dropped for me, nor have I seen it drop. I played since classic, and I began to wonder long ago if it even existed xD
Calling it "blue undead horse" makes you not worthy to have it honestly. Casual as fuck boy.
Sho… that last one with the critters… dark!
Asmongold in a nutshell
lmfao the idea of Arthas and his Ghost Daddy having that heartfelt final moment ruined and interupted by the players immedietly ransacking his dying corpse is so true and hilarious!
725 mounts useable by one toon, Over 1400 unique pets, 600 toys and 30k achievement points. I was able to relate to this entire video and it’s all true lol. Perfection
Fun thing, i dont remember wen but there was a time i had a little stroll in ogrimmar and out of nowere a player fell down next too me from a cliff and die, he did this repeatly and it was a tauren, i asked him wat he was doing - he did the going down archivement. And my main at that time was a orc warrior, this is just spot on nostalgia lol.
The pet collector bit was horrifying.
Literally me playing with a BFA friend during Arathi thing. Every day he made me go around for those mounts. I got them all and it took like another 2 months to get all of his lol.
I actually only wanted the horse cos it's one of the only ways to get an alliance-style horse on the Horde. I got it on like my second try and just went along to help my friend every time
The pet dude is how i see all wow players these days.
Solid laughs from all these! Cheers Grim!
It would be cool if you had a little ranch in the game to let the pets just walk around and interact with each other.
Maybe depending on how popular an upcoming feature like that might be in a certain mmo this month Blizzard will do their own spin on it for all the pet collectors out there.
That first sketch... I felt that. I may have never tried farming for the winged horsie, but in D3 I've been farming for over a decade to get that damned gibbering gemstone. It doesn't exist. It can't exist! Fuckin' hell I've wasted so many in game MONTHS trying to find the damned thing but IT JUST WON'T DROP! Heh. It doesn't exist. And the devs at Blizzard are monsters for making me think it ever did.
I Failed the blood step of the Shadowmourne quest and I was pissed off. Killed the rest of the dungeon just cause, Got the Horse on that same run. Everyone was like OMG you got the Horse... But i was too pissed off to see it as I just wanted my Shadowmourne! Got Shadowmourne now though :D
love the video. :D I'm surprised the profession arachnologist is not in this video it drove me mad sometimes flying from one place to another hoping that this time I would find some toy that was cool or mount but to no avail
i lost it when the pet battle guy showed up. that was too good
One of the funniest videos on thus channel especially the part with the mount farming
How does this not have a billion views XD
0:34
Managed to drop Invincible after 2 years of farming it, I'm so happy I never have to go through this again
Glorious, but the Going Down! I did by accident.. running away from the world boss xD
I was one of those lucky people who got that Lich King Horse on my second try, shit was sweet. Everyone in my guild went nuts.
As a pet collector, I always try to sum differents ones all the time, so they could saw the light once a year.
Priceless and perfect. As always Mr Grim.
happy you liked it :)
Still have never played wow, but this is 100% relatable anyway~
The Blizzcon onesie and his voice made me laugh so hard lmao
... Thanks, I really REALLY wanted to feel bad about having a thousand battle pets and only bringing out three of them regularly...
