I have never had much luck in wow. (That is a statement no one will no longer believe after reading this post.) Normally it takes tries upon tries to finally get what I am after, regarding both drops and rolls. It almost seems like it has all been stored up until this week and I’ve been unbelievably lucky.

The Zulian Tiger

I have lost count how many times I have been to Zul’Gurub poking the two bosses that can possibly drop mounts. I got exalted a while ago and since then my other half has nearly gained exalted as well from mostly just handing in the rep items dropped off some of the trash next to the two bosses. Zul’Gurub has nearly become Rebella’s second home. The bow drop off the raptor boss has on far too many occasions fooled me into thinking the mount has dropped and that’s as close as I’ve been. However, at the end of last week, the lovely Priestess Thekal finally gave up her mount!

White Hawkstrider

After a very hectic day yesterday we decided to just relax with a couple of instances that could yield a mount. I figured that my luck was long gone and I might get another after 6 months or so. Little did I know how wrong the assumption would be. Magister’s Terrace has always been a favourite of mine, even back in the TBC days of crowdcontrolling nightmares. (It is here the name Monstarkin was first used, but that warrants a post of its own.) The pet has dropped a fair few times, the orb only a couple of times and the mount had yet to be seen – until yesterday! I don’t know how long I was sat staring at the screen for, I just could not believe it. Only four days after I had gotten the Zulian tiger. Unbelievable! I was for a moment worried that we would not go back until the Bear said he quite liked this mount, so we will try to get it to drop again! I love Magister’s Terrace, and I love this mount!

The Bear

The Bear is not a mount, but still needs mentioning. I could not write this post and I very much doubt I would have stuck to trying for the mounts for so long if it wasn’t for him, so thank you!
