Blog Azeroth: Mountable Mounts

I'm delighted that Dragonray of Azerothian Life has asked not one weeks worth but five weeks worth of Blog Azeroth Shared Topics! Also, Dragonray is hosting a transmog competition Mog the World in 80 Days so go check that out if you havent already.

This weeks Dragonray asks:

One of the things I have noticed since my return is the huge amount of mounts available now through rep gains. I am still working on a couple, but it has made me wonder which mounts you guys are loving or hating

So what are your top 5 mounts - or just the ones you go to all the time because you like the way they ride? What are the ones you really dislike and can never bring yourself to use - does it rub against your collecting nature (if you have one) to buy all the mounts even though you know you will never use them?                               Source

In total I own 105 mounts and there are a lot I still don't have - mostly those from rep grinds. Some notable examples (that I'm working on getting) include the Disc of the Red Flying Cloud and Talbuks from the Kurenai.

From reading others posts it seems I'm fairly normal in having favourites on different character so for my top 5 I've picked three that are character favourites and two that I just love.

Enchanted Fey Dragon

 

This is currently my hunters favourite mount. I quite simply love it and since I paid a fair bit of money for it I'm determined to get my moneys worth! Plus I think the Fey Dragon wins cutest in-game mount fairly easily.

Celestial Steed

 

The Sparkle Pony is definately my mage's favourite mount. Again, having purchased this mount from the store I like to get my moneys worth.

 

Sky Golem

 

Ever since my engineer crafted the Sky Golem she's been terrorising the wildlife of Pandaria flying about in it mining!

 

Drake of the North Wind

I'm sure I've spoken about my love for this mount many times in the past and how lucky I was to get it as a dungeon drop. It's the only 'drake of the ... wind' that I own but some day I'd love to own them all.

Reins of the Twilight Drake

I think that this drake is insanely pretty. The colours are just so perfect on it!

It seems from my list that I'm quite the fan of drakes! It's no surprise, to me atleast, that my top 5 are all flying mounts as I think they [generally] offer the most dynamic range of styles. But... when we consider I've mostly picked drakes I think I'm just a dragon fan.

And it felt really wrong not to mention my favourite 2 person mount - the Sandstone Drake.



 

There aren't many mounts that I'd rather not be seen in (virtual) public on but one such mount is the Reins of the Golden King. I just don't like it which is a real shame as the Horde get Reins of the Kor'kron Annihilator - good job I've got my Reins of the Amber Scorpion to make up for it.
