Why wasn't mount quest prices reduced?Follow

Well, i was just wondering since reguler epic mounts had their cost reduced, why

not warlocks mount quest was reduced? I just spent 250g for the quest, 150g for

the stardust, and then 100g for the other ones. Well i turn in all of that and

ect, well now i have to pay 250g to buy the stuff i made. I dont think its fair,

since the price was sapposed to balance out having to buy skills for a pet. If

i knew i wasn't going to save any money i would of just bought riding skill

and got a pvp mount.

We have the cheapest epic IF you can get help.

My main lock is a miner/skinner. My guild gave me the ghost mushrooms and some of the arcanite and shards. I spent very little on that part.

I had to spend the 150 g on the dust. One of my guildmates had done the quest, but he was never on. Never on. Never on. One night the others wanted to do a shard run for more large bril shards - so I said "let's do it in DM west - and get me my epic, too." They said yes.

So I had to run to BS and spend the 250 on jar, glyph and loadstone. All told I spent 420 to 440 on it - still way cheaper than 90g to buy first mount and skill - then 540ish to buy next epic up.

You can get lock epic mount for under 200g!

And I have the 3 items and can offer my services to up and coming locks - and maybe make 50g a run (I'm saving them 250g, remember).

Hey, just buy your class epic mount if you want to avoid the hassle of the quest. Even if you pay it's still the easiest and cheapest (imo pal epic is harder and more $). Make friends - network - and you can get that mount for about 200g! GL!

QQ more. We get a mount no one elsa can get, so stop complaining. It's only gold - the easiest stuff to make in the game. When I needed to purchase the mats, I fished for four hours to make the necessary gold. It doesn't seem like so much to me. (AND I did it when normal epic mounts were still 1000G). Anyone who can't make the necessary gold in a fairly short time (less than a week) is either lazy or unwilling to expend the time because his priorities don't include making gold.

Jenovaomega, there is always a demand for fish on ah, I know i use alot of stonescale eels for defense pots, and oily blackmouth for other pots as an alchemist. While I dont have to pay for them, because while other guildies are lvl up thier fishing, i ask them to fish for the blackmouth and stonescale eels.. and they are more than willing. But they can sell for a very good amount.. (depending on prices on server)

I make my gold by playing the AH, mostly. There are a lot of farmers who underlist their stuff, to make profit right now in bulk. I'll buy it all out, relist it at the standard server price, tidy little bit of gold. Only works on high demand items like cloth, enchanting mats, JC mats and suchlike.


Example: Mageweave cloth will sell for over 4g on my server, a lot of casters who didn't have Tailoring before are trying to powerlevel it, and they have the gold to burn at 70. People will list stacks of Mageweave as low as 2g.. so it's a tidy bit of profit. That's how I got the gold for my rogue's epic mount by the time I hit 52.

Maybe because Blizzad wants locks to be proud with hard to get mounts?
If it was all about cost I would never feel I actually achieved something with my demon horsie. Would just stop leveling for few days, get the gold, and run around again.
Price is nothing compared to trouble some of us have gone through to get it.



You could have maybe read all the steps and reqs of the quest before even starting it and then decide? Not like its that big mistery what you have to do and how much is it going to cost you..... simply use search button and spend like 15 minutes reading.

Sethy, i did read the quest line on thottbot, i knew i had to spend over 200g

for mats, but it never said anything about having to spend more money just to

get the things you gave the guy to make with mats, It costs 250g for all the

items your need.

THat's just to get the glyph, jar and lodestone for the DMwest fight at the end.

150g for xoroathian stardust. And who know what for the 20-30 bl dr scales, 20-30 dark iron ores, 6 or so LB shards, and 3 or 4 arcanite bars.

I *think* the 150g is the only price you *have* to pay. In theory, if guildmates gave you everything else and a high lvl lock did the end part for you, you could get an epic mount for 150g. I *think.*


Edit - forgot the shadowy potion. Cheapest looks like 156g.
