Very long process to obtain this mount. The poster above me has some great links for the quests. It is rumored that in the expansion reputation obtained is increased so if you want to do this wait until then as it might be a less strenuous process.

It would appear that by the description ("very fast mount" ) this is an epic mount, and yet it only requires 75 riding skill, making it unique and allowing you to save a good amount of gold.
Still, it's not really worth the grind, imo. You'll need the riding skill eventually anyways to get a flying mount, and by then no one's gonna give a crap if you spent ungodly amounts of time to grind a rather plain looking cat.

Pretty sure you get this from the NPC in Winterspring in the north, named Rivern Frostwind.

The people above mostly have no clue what they are speaking about. Let me elucidate.
This is a special mount which is only obtainable from a vendor in Winterspring. In order for him to allow you to buy it from him, you need Exalted status with him. To get that status, there is a series of three quests you perform over and over and over (one quest you repeat to get from Neutral to Friendly, one from Friendly to Revered, etc.) Once you have Exalted with this vendor, you can purchase the mount from him for 900g.
However, in order to ride it you need to have the Tiger Riding (1) skill. This is the same skill used by elves to ride their normal tigers, so an elf with this skill doesn't have to train in anything else. But if you are not an elf, you must gain Exalted status with Darnassus.
There is only one way you can do this currently, by doing the Morrowgrain to Darnassus/Feathermoon quest. This is a repeatable quest you can do for Darnassus reputation.
In short: it is an incredible achievement for an elf to get this mount, and a truly epic achievement for a gnome, human, or dwarf to get it. I have never even seen an elf with it in all my time playing (Earthen Ring server) and certainly no other races.
Good luck.

Just finished up getting the faction for this mount, I'll try to answer a lot of the questions posted.
Yes, you do need to be Exalted with the Wintersaber Trainers in order to buy this mount. It is NOT a rare drop or anything like that, it is sold to you by Rivern when you hit Exalted. You can only gain faction by doing the quests he offers.
You get the three quests at certain faction levels. The first at Neutral, the second at half way to Friendly, and the third at half way to Honored.
You must do the first quest 30 times to get half way through Neutral to get the second quest.
If you use a Reputation mod, you will see that amount of reputation goes Neutral -> Friendly (3000) -> Honored (6000) -> Revered (12000) -> Exalted (21000). In total, that is 42,000 reputation needed and each quest gives 50 reputation. Do the math, that's 840 quest turn-ins to reach Exalted. (Humans with the 10% faction bonus will need to do this 840-84 times, or 756).
The first quest is based on a 20% drop rate of quest items and may take someone 45 minutes to an hour to this quest once. The second quest is based on killing a set number of mobs in Winterfall Village. The third quest is also based on killing a set number of mobs, but they are extremely hard Elite Giants and they are located on the other side of the map in Frostwhisper Gorge.
All three quests give the same amount of reputation and the second one is by far the fastest, so you can decide which one to repeat. Assuming the quest takes you about 15 minutes to complete (including going back and forth to drop it off), it would take you a total of 210 real hours to do the quest 840 times. That is about nine days by itself, and seeing as how no one can play for nine days continuously doing this, it will take you months to get it (personally it took me a little over 2 months doing it every single day).
Yes you also have to learn the Tiger Riding ability from Darnassus to ride this mount, Rivern does not teach it to you. That means if you're not Night Elf, you have to get Exalted with Darnassus before you can purchase and learn Tiger Riding.
The mount was not given any armor or anything extra in the patch and still looks completely unique as compared to the other Night Elf mounts.
You can only do each quest once before having to turn it in to get it again. You cannot collect an abundance of meats or kill a lot of mobs and get multiple quest credits at once.
And finally, here's a pic so you can see how it looks:

Human reputation boost is 10%.
50 + (50 x .1) = 55
You start at neutral (0) and halfway through neutral (1500) you can unlock the second quest.
55 x 28 = 1540.
I did this first quest as fast as 18 minutes, and as slow as 35 minutes. It mainly depends on the drop rate. Given that I�m going to take my lowest and highest and come up with a mean (average). (18 + 35) / 2 = 26.5 minutes
26.5 x 28 = 12.366
Now this is an estimate because you can�t be sure how often it will drop, and if horde will gank you or not. So it�s a little over 12 hours to get the second quest, not so bad when you think about it.
Now that you have unlocked the second quest, Winterfall Intrusion, it�s all about grinding from then on. Kill 5 shamans and 5 ursas, and based from what everyone says it takes about 15 minutes to get the quest, ride over, complete the quest, ride back, turn in. so that is 4 quests per hour.
55 x 4 = 210.
That�s 210 reputation per hour. Now suppose you did this 4 hours a day.
210 x 4 = 840
That�s 840 reputation a day, 5880 a week.
Now, how long till you�re finally reached exalted? Well let�s find out!
Starting at 0 to open the second quest and gain 1540 reputation, it took 12.366 hours approximately. Now if you�re going to do it 4 hours a day EVERY day (this is not including the days you started the first quest, this is just including the days that you�ve been working on Winterfall Intrusion), then on the 49th day you will be exalted.
How many hours of game play? Well it takes 4 hours to get 840 reputation, and 49 days of 4 hours of game play doing solely these quests.
4 x 49 = 196
And with the initial 12.366 hours it will take you 208.366 hours under IDEAL conditions. This means you weren�t killed once, you haven�t emptied your bags, you haven�t repaired, etc. I suggest you empty your bags before you start. Empty them after you�re done and repair after you�re done. And mainly ask yourself if you�re ready to devote 210 hours of your life to a mount. If you are, then I commend you. For everyone who thinks it should be lowered to revered, you�re wrong. It is much easier to get revered than exalted and you would see MANY more of these mounts if that was the case, but because you must be exalted, you rarely see anyone with this very unique mount. And about the 800g (if you�re rank 3 PVP) you make MORE than that just grinding for 210 hours straight so money shouldn�t be an issue. One thing that I think would be neat is have a �Use:� ability on the mount. If you noticed hunters have them as pets all the time and they can dash. How cool would it be to Dash on your mount that�s already going 100% to 150%. Does blizzard read this? Probably not but I just thought I�d let everyone dream :P. For myself I�m in it for the long haul and since my schedule is busier than most gamers I can�t continuously play for 4 hours a day, same quest, for 49 consecutive days. So it will take me closer to 3 months to get this mount, and I�m fine with that. Well I�m at work and wouldn�t have taken the time to type this all if I wasn�t so I hoped this helped anyone who was wondering about this awesome mount!
Also, say an epic drop is 1/10000, or .01% chance to drop. By the time you reach exalted you will have killed no less than 1960 (probably more do to spawns and such) but that means 1960/10000. that�s a 19.6% chance for an epic to drop, statistically. So who knows you might pick up an epic or two on the way :P, good luck!

This isn't a bug, Blizzard have just changed the distance that it is possible for party members actions to affect your quest progress.
As for the people that think that this quest is "ridiculous" and Blizzard should make it easier. I completely disagree - the very nature of this mount is that it is incredibly difficult to get, and takes a large amount of time and effort. Having it like that enforces its rarity and makes sure only the people who do the work actually get to ride around on it.
Also, you don't have to be sad and have no life at all to get this mount, that's quite obviously the disgruntled view of someone who panics when they can't ninja an item. Myself and about 3 other people on my server have been grinding this for about an hour a day for about 2 months or so, and we are 3/4 of the way there now.
I think it's simple really, if you're not willing to put the time in, then read a different topic - don't get peaved at the people who appreciate the difficulty with getting this mount.

Hi there,
I've been doing this casually for over 1 month 1/2 and I'm currently 9350 / 21 000...
It's long yes...
It's boring yes...
PvP Server ftl on this grind...
But some things people gotta remember :
1) Furlborg rep
2) Darn rep with all the runecloth that drops
3) Grind for money one way or another
4) When you'll have it you'll be sick lookin' !
Because of that I'm doing it ! Until the end !
*EDIT*
10 days after I'm @ 17 000 / 21 000 ! getting there !
It's been 2-3 weeks since I got it and love it :)

So, I just started doing quests for this dude last night at 2:18am. So far I've turned in three quests (I didn't play all night... just for a few hours) and I'm halfway through another one now.
I've found three decent greens so far, and I have skinning so I've gotten about forty stacks of various leathers, as well as a ton of vendor junk from the mobs.
I'm planning on farming for this mount for as much time as possible over the next few weeks (months?), so I'll post updates every so often, for people who are interested.
Some answers to some common questions on this board:
1. The meats from the bears and chimaera are quest items, so you can't carry more than the alloted quest amount. That means you can have a maximum of 5 Shardtooth Meat and 5 Chillwind Meat with you at any one time. Meat in the bank counts, too.
2. In order to actually
get
the mount, you must get to exalted with "Wintersaber Trainers" and then you can
buy
it from him. It's not free, sorry. Rivern Frostwind is the only person in this faction, and the only way to get rep with him is by doing his quests.
3. That's just to get the mount. If you're not a Night Elf, you must also get to exalted with Darnassus in order to learn Tiger Riding before you can actually
use
the mount. And, of course, you must be level 60 to ride it, as it's an epic mount.
4. The mobs you have to kill for Rivern's first quest have a
very
crappy droprate... Sometimes you will get all your meat in about twenty minutes, and sometimes you'll be killing for an hour before you're done just one quest.
5. Yes, getting this mount takes a friggin long time, but that's the beauty of it. Unlike the ZG mounts, where you have to be either a ninja or just plain lucky to get it, this mount requires an extreme amount of effort to get. Maybe some people don't see what's so special about it, but I think you should be very proud of yourself if you've gotten it.

Back again. Finally finish this horrible horrible yet addictive faction! Kudos to you guys who could get a lock and 2 othersto help you for summoning! It was hard enough to get 1 person to help let alone 3! Took me about 1.75 months to complete. WAY too much time in winterspring and I dont EVER want to go back!

As of the latest patch, you now receive 75 rep for every turn in instead of 50.

As at 19.01.07
1.
There are 3 types of FROSTSABER mounts available
{Reins of the Frostsaber}
lvl
150 riding skill
. Its one of the Night Elf racial mounts. Other allince races can get it by getting Exaulted with Darnassus and learning 150 riding skill.
{Reins of the Swift Frostsaber}
lvl
150 Riding skill
. PvP reward mount. Any Alliance can get this mount, simply by getting enough PvP tokens.
{Reins of the Winterspring Frostsaber}
lvl
75 Riding skill
. Only WINTERSABER TRAINER rep required . Any race can get this mount so long as you get exaulted with the Wintersaber Trainer.
2.
You only NEED rep with WINTERSABER TRAINER faction to get . For those who cant read english it means you DO NOT need to be exaulted with either the Dwarfs, Gnomes, Night Elfs, Undead, Troll, Orcs, Tuaren, GDI, NOD GLA, Allied or Soviet or Chinese Forces, Terran, Zerg, Protoss, UFP Humans, Vulcan, Romulan, Q, Klingon, Cardassian, Barjoran, Borg, Ferengi, Dominion, Centauri, Drakh, First One, League of non Aligend Worlds, Mibari, Narn, Pak'ma'RA, Shadow, Thirdspace Aliens, Vorlon, Jedi, Sith, Osama Bin Laden OR George Walker Bush (how ever being aligned with Dubba means your house has a 10% of not get bombed accidently by a USAF aircraft especially if its near a foreign embassy)
3.
Rep required : 42,0000
0 - 3,000 : Neutral - Friendly
3,000 - 6,000 : Friendly - Honored
6,000 - 12,000 : Honored - Revered
12,000 - 21,000 : Revered - Exaulted.
4.
You only need lvl 75 riding skill. So if you have a lvl 40 mount, then you can ride this one. Also - riding skills are universal, lvl 75 gnome riding skill is the same as lvl 75 Nightelf riding skill. If you learned it from one faction then you dont need to learn it from another faction.
5.
It IS an EPIC mount. It is the SAME SPEED as all other EPIC MOUNTS.Because its only needs lvl75 riding skill, it looks like other lvl 75 riding skill saber mounts. Meaning you have an Epic mount without armour.
6.
Price $$$ = 90g +lvl75 riding skill (which by lvl 60 you should already have).

Note:
the following information is BASED the on:
A:
your race is HUMAN
B:
You have a lvl 75 riding skill & a mount.
C:
You have the following:
,
,
.
D:
You have Winterspring Village/FrostwhisperGorge to yourself & there is required amount of each kill already spawned in each location.
E:
you do not get DISMOUNTED while riding to and from destinations.
F:
all times are based on STARTING from at Frostsaber Rock
Riding time (ONE WAY - taking shortest direct route):
To Winterfall Village : 2:30secs.
To FrostWhisper Gorge : 4:20secs.
Minimum time to complete KILLS:
SOLO : 5:00mins.
Group : 2-3minS.
:
SOLO : UNKOWN - never tried this on my own since lm a frost mage.
GROUP : 8:00mins - grouped with a Feral Druid.
Minimum time TO COMPLETE QUESTS solo:
: 10:00mins
: 16:40mins
10mins = 82rep per quest
1hour = 492rep per 6 quests
2hrs10mins = 1066rep per 13 quests
Minimum time to get mount ONCE you get to 1500rep and you are on the 2nd quest {Winterfall Intrusion} is:
42,000 - 1500 = 40500rep
40,500/82 = 493.90 Quest hand ins
494 quests * 10mins = 4940mins / 60 = 82.3hrs = 3.4days non stop grinding.
HOWEVER:
this is assuming you have a party to do the kills with and you have the village to yourself. In real life,
l found on AVERAGE the stats were:
1000rep = 3hrs
40.5 * 3 = 121.5hrs /24hrs = 5.06days (non stop grinding)
So if you do :
500rep a day it would take 81 days
1k rep a day, it would take 40.50 days.
2k rep a day, it would take 20.25 days.
NOTE:
Rep gained per quest hand in for humans alternates between 82rep and 83rep. The above info was based on getting 82rep per quest. All other races get 75rep per quest hand in (l dont know if it alternates for them between 75/76 like it is for humans). So make adjustments to calculations.

The following is assuming you are at the front of the Winterfall Village and facing south. I've separated the Village into 5 areas for easier description. They are as follows :
Foyer :
Area outside the main gates.
Ground floor :
Area inside the main gate at the base of the mountian
Middle Floor :
Located taking the pathway up from the Ground floor.
Roof :
is the Mountain Ridge pointing East/west Seperating Winterfall village from the Yeti caves on the other side.
Chief :
Take the left pathway on the Middle floor to access the Winterfall high chief's Cave.
Location of Mobs within winterfall Village:
FOYER :
Has only Den Watchers on either side of the road.There is a solo Furbolg which wanders from left to right.
GROUND floor :
Has 4 camps. Each camp spawns 1 Winterfall Furbolgs, either a SHAMAN or DENWATCHER.
MIDDLE floor :
Has 3 camps. Each camp Spawns 2 Winterfall Furblogs, a combination of either SHAMAN or URSA.
ROOF :
Has 7 spawn sites each with 1 Winterfall URSA.There is a solo Furbolg which wanders EAST/WEST along the top of the Ridge
CHIEF :
Inside the cave there is the Winterfall Chief with 1 SHAMAN and 1 URSA. Between Middle floor and chief's cave, there is one Camp site with 1 Winterfall Furblog either a SHAMAN or URSA.
WINTERFALL SHAMANS :
spawn only on GROUND FLOOR, MIDDLE FLOOR and CHIEF's cave
WINTERFALL URSA :
spawn only on MIDDLE FLOOR, CHIEF's cave and ROOF
The WANDERING FURBOLG :
will spawn as either as a SHAMAN or a DENWATCHER.
CHEST location:
Spawns on one of 4 spots. Either of the left OR right camps on either the GROUND floor OR the MIDDLE floor (got a blue item from one of those chests 8-) ).
BLACK LOTUS:
Spawns behind the left camp on MIDDLE floor, and also one next to YETI Cave entrance which should appear on your mini map if your on the EAST side of the ROOF.

the following is for those who want to get this mount as soon as you can. Others who are casual about getting mount,then just dont read this.
1. Set your self a Quota to achieve each day. whether its 500 rep, 1,000rep, 1,500rep, 2,000 rep. And try and stick to that target. I set myself a target of 1krep a day while l was at work. When l started my holidays l increased this to 3krep a day
2. Do not look at how much total rep is left. ONLY look at how much rep is left to achieve your quota for that day. Because if you look at the total amount of rep left, it will always be HUGE and seem soo far away.
3. Try not to look at rep each time you hand in a quest. Do so every 30mins or hr or so. Then the gains seem bigger
4. Once you get the quest, only concentrate on this one. It is the FASTEST quest to do assuming you have the village to yourself.
5. Competing with other players for kills results in you taking longer to get your 5kill quota of each. If there are other players grinding or questing there, explain to them what you are doing. Then ask them if you can join them to share the kills. If you are willing as l was, forgo some of the loot to get kills. Remember Getting mount should be your first priority.
6. Try going through different routes to see which is quickest. I found riding South along to road to Everlook and and then east to Winterfall Village ment l would not get dismounted. But this is a longer route. Going along a beeline from Frostsaber Rock to Winterfall Village is the shortest route. But chances are you will get dismounted along they way and thus increase the time it takes to hand in.
7. If you get dismounted by a Chillwind Cimmera or a Shardtooth bear, then kill it. Cos if it drops Meat required for First quest, then you can collect it and once you have 5 of each, then thats another quest you can handed in.
8. Lots of money to be made doing this quest. Whether your a herblist, skinner or miner, you will make lots and lots of money. When l first started this, l stoped to harvest every herb that appeared. Then about half way l stoped doing that and concentrated on just handing in quests. If l continued to harvest every ice cap that appeared, ld have more than 500+. As is now l have around 200 icecaps sitting in my bank, as well as around 20 Black lotus. I'd have more but l gave up stopping to harverst herbs so l can concentrate on getting the mount.
9. If there is too many gankers there, log of and try again another time/day or do something else. There really is no point wasting 2hrs trying to do one quest when you can go do a instance run or something in Real Life. All you end up doing is wasting your time and end up being farmed by another player for honor kills.
10. In doing this quest l got Exaulted with Timbermaw hold before l got exaulted with Wintersaber Trainer. Remember to save all your Winterspring Beads till after you hit Revered with Timbermaw Hold, and then hand them in. Once you hit Revered with Timbermaw Hold, the only way you can only get rep from them is by handing in the beads and killing the Highchief in the Winterspring Village.
11. Also once you get exaulted with Timbermaw Hold, they give you quest to kill a demon. to summon the demon they give you a torch. Once you kill the demon, you can hand in the items and get the Defender of the Timbermaw Trinklet. DO NOT HAND IT IN till you get your mount!. If you find there is TOO many farmers or gankers in the village, then just go summon the Demon and go away for a few hours. i did this once and saw a horde group of 4 wipe on it 2 times. Also l let the demon loose on 2 farmers camping the highchief's cave and let the demon kill em for me. One of the funnest thing l ever saw was a t2/3 geared Tauren running away only to die from the demon's curses hahahahaha.
I started this in middle Nov when rep gained was only 55still and not 82 as it is now. i got to 1.5k rep in early december. then hit 11k of Revered in Dec 30th. Went on holidays for 7 days and did the final 10k rep from 9th -19th of jan. Had to stop for 4 days cos everyone was waiting for Burning Crusade to come out so it was Gank Central in WinterFall village. After Burning cursade came out, l took my time getting the last 3k left to get mount. I finnaly got it around 2:30pm 19th of Jan 2007. At one stage l was spending 9-10hrs grinding away to get 3krep a day But it was worth it.! nothing felt soo good in this game as the day l got my mount and rode on it. Good luck to all who are trying get it. I hope what l learned will help you.
I'm the on on the right, my friend who helped me is on the left.

I'm just adding to what has been written previously about times for each quest.
I am a 70 hunter with decent gear and a riding crop (10% mount speed increase), so killing and riding is relatively fast for each quest. With that in mind, the times being measured are travel time and the "gathering time" for encountering and killing each set of mobs. I have timed quests from the when I left frostsaber rock to the time I returned to turn in the quests (this does not include emptying bags, getting more arrows, blah blah blah).
Results:
Frostsaber provisions: Avg time 19.2 minutes
Winterfall Intrusion: non-camped: 10.4 mins
camped: 22.3 mins
Rampaging Giants: Avg time 14 mins (best time 12 mins)
Giants and Intrusion: Avg time 22.5 (best 20 mins exactly, 17 mins using shortcut!)
I would not suggest doing the provisions quest at all past the initial questing stage, since it had a wide range of completion times depending on the meat drop rate. Sometimes this quest can take a half hour or more, and becomes quite frustrating!
The winterfall intrusion quest is best IF and ONLY IF the place is not camped. And by camped, I mean one or two people killing is enough to slow this quest way down to anywhere from 19 mins to 32 mins, since the camp usually has just enough mob population to do one quest. I usually like killing the Chief Winterfall while there if its not camped, since he always drops a winterfall firewater potion ($$$ and/or great AP buff). You also get Eko that gives a strength buff JuJu if you have your Cache of Mau'ari handy.
Rampaging giants was never camped, had good drops (tons of recipes, patterns, and greens), is a great source for AP JuJu, but was a long ride. The green magic items usually disenchant to Greater Eternal Essences and Illusion dust for you enchanters out there ($$$). The giants weren't that tough at lvl 70, but then again, I'm a the universally hated easy-mode hunter :) I usually start on the far south side, and there are usually enough to complete the quest. If there are not enough there, across the bridge and to the east and west are two more sets of two that usually fill the quest. And if worse comes to worse, down into the ravine...
IN ADDITION: SHORTCUT! If you have a light repair bill, after finishing giants, just jump in the ravine and kill yourself, then rez at Everlook... it saves 3 minutes. It will take you 6 minutes to turn in quests and get back to Winterfall village for the next round of kills, so if you are a 70, you can keep killing with the 75% damage reduction (or at least i could) and finish being rez sick by the time you killed 4/4 shamans and ursas. I have been doing both the WF intrusion and Giants naked and rezzing at Everlook. Looks funny but hey, it saves me 3 mins a run FFS!
What I find best is to have both the intrusion quest and the giants quest at the ready...do the giants, then do a pit stop at Winterfall Village to check on its farm status. If you see dead bodies in the front area, dont waste your time--just turn around and hand in the giants quest then go back for another round of giants. If you see the village to be untouched, do both the giants and the intrusion quests, which only takes 22.4 mins for both (or better, if you know the shortcuts). Also, if you do both quests, by the time you turn in both quests and return to WF village, it will be completely respawned (and usually with a chest there too!)
Save your beads, you will get the timbermaw trinket long before you get this mount :)
Good luck, and remember: since BC came out, ZG is on farm status by many noob guilds for the mounts. That makes the frostsaber mount probably the rarest in the game, since you have to grind for many hours to get it. People in this game just dont have that kind of patience, so when you see one of these mounts on your server, you know this guy is hardcore, tenacious, and partially insane! :) (Ive only seen one so far on my server, and ive seen people riding them in crossrealm AV only twice in 2 years play)
Good luck, and don't give up :) Why be like everybody else? And now that all this is said, plan your route, and never look at the clock or your rep again :) just go and do it...
P.S. got mine April 27, 4:30 am :) /sigh :)

I got this monster 2 days ago, after 13 days of grinding for it. That's right, 13 days. I got fired from a job (LOL) and decided to just go all-out nuts for it. I played at least 10 hours a day, every day. I'd just like to add some thoughts about my experience.
My method was to go from Rivern to the Winterfall camp, then to the giants in the south, then back to Rivern. In this way, I found it to be a lot less repetative; each trip took longer, but I was doing more than one quest at a time. Also, it was more satisfying to get chunks of 150 rep rather than just 75.
I went from level 62 to 66 during this grind. Considering I would get ~140 exp from the furbolgs (if any) and ~400 from the giants, that's absolutely insane, and a very good indicator of how much work this grind demands.
As a combat rogue with good BC gear for my level, I would average 6 seconds a kill for the furbolgs, and 20 seconds for the giants. I give mad props for people who play classes who take much longer to kill things (i.e. paladins) and got this mount. I must have played about 130 hours at least, but the thought of taking 4 or 5 times longer per kill is just staggering. Hats off to you. (While we're on the topic, I give mad props for people who did this back in the day, where the mount itself cost 900, epic mounts were 900, the rep reward per turn-in was 50 instead of 75, and pre-BC where you were limited to level 60 and raid gear which pales in comparison to that which is obtainable now. That was truly a grind, whereas now it has become much more of a cakewalk, not to trivialise it too far.)
A couple tips:
-BUY AN EPIC MOUNT BEFORE YOU START THIS BEAST! Since I literally murdered these creatures (not even stealthing, it would slow me down), the heart of the grind was in the runs to and from Rivern. Looking back, I'd blow my brains out if I had to do this with a non-epic mount.
-Princess Tempestria is a level 60 elite that is on a 2 day timer or so. Don't hesitate to stop and kill it for loots. You will be informed of its arrival by a yell similar to Azuregos, and also be able to look at Lake Kel'theril for a bunch of water elementals. If they are there, it is most likely also there. Get a pal to do it if you aren't capable, it is a fairly difficult solo kill. I was able to do it at 65 armed with a couple greater frost protection potions.
-As far as phat loot goes, I wound up with a Krol Blade, some blue plate gloves, blue plate shoes, and blue cloth shoes, along with 3 or 4 random Darkmoon Faire cards. Greater Frost Prtotection Potion recipies drop like mad from the giants, and I somehow managed to sell at least 15 of them for around 6g each. I honestly don't know how the hell they all sold. In total, I probably made ~1400g, very helpful, since I would probably never get enough for a flying mount otherwise, since I am terrible with gold spending, lol.
In any case, this mount is fantastic, and its a constant, awesome looking reminder the effort put into getting it. Truly a great reward.

Each time you do Frostsaber Provisions you get an increase of .0167 to your faction rep. With neutral starting at 4.0, it requires you to do the quest 60 times to achive friendly.

Hey, could someone tell me if the look of this mount was revamped with the latest revamping of the other epic mounts? I don't really want to waste too much time if it doesn't look like an epic mount...

Requirements needed for this are:
Night Elf players: Honored with Darnassus
Other Factions: Exaulted
All Factions: Exaulted with Wintersaber Trainers
Cost: 800g or 900g depending on your rank
This works great if you have two accounts, also if you have a group. It sucks because neither or those really help much on the days you don't get credit for the kills while up on the rock, on the days you do get credit, it rocks and you fly through the rep.
Happy Farming

Do you still need to be exalted with Darnassus in order to ride this mount? I know they unified riding skills, but does this affect whether or not other races can ride it?

Is there an easy way to get to Rivern. With all the sabers, who stun and knock you off your mount I die almost every time i try to run to him. Killing your way through will add way to much time to this. Is that what i have to do?

Why waste days of farming for rep while you all have an epic mount already, just I don't understand, nice mount but damn what was blizzard thinking? "Let's see who is stupid enough to go farm rep for weeks, months for the mount" Well that thought came true alright, waste :( if it was a bit faster ok but just for the looks *cough*

I hit revered 2 days ago, been grinding some everynight. Sadly, the faction is so slow, Im about 10% into revered. Its going to take me all month to get to exhaulted I think. =(
Ive had thoughts about giving up, but Im too far now to give up. I have the cash, its sooo tempting, but then I remember that its a unique mount. :)

Well I'm a NE rogue on arthas and im exactly 59 quest turn ins from exalted. I've been doing it grouped with a full group of other NE's and a gnome. 1st of all the mount is 900g considering your exalted faction with them by the time you get exalted. Secondly, with Sergeant rank from PVP-ing, that 900g mount price drops to 800g, so it's definitly worth PVP-ing for that bonus. Since, I'm on a pvp server...i just killed the horde that got in my way occasionally and that worked out beautifully. As for humans, dwarves, and gnomes. Getting it now is not as impressive as getting it before the most recent patch...but just because you can get tiger riding now doesnt mean it's any easier to get. Just the rep grinding alone is enough to drive you crazy. Definitly faster and more entertaining doing it grouped. I should have my walking epic mount later this week...i can't wait...i'll be the 1st in my guild to get it and 4th on the server to get it.

Need to do the first quest 840 times total to get this mount.
With the new patch allowing you to turn in cloth for fame, exalted with Darnassus is not a huge issue.
The fact that you're honored with Frostsaber Trainers would make the purchase price of this mount 900g I'd assume, plus the minor Darnassus riding training fee. If you're a skinner you'll probly get this from doing the quest 840 times.
This mount looks like one of the daddy frost sabers that are blue and white, think they're called Pride Watchers? (forgive me, forgot the name and too lazy to look it up)
The pure shock value of this mount is more than enough to do it, even if it isn't armored. The best alliance rogue on my server got one, seeing a human running around on a big ol' frostsaber is awesome, made me freak when I saw it today. The rogue went so far as to reveal that he had had the mount for a few months, and just hadn't been able to get exalted with Darnassus until the patch.
That's all I know regarding this mount.

i have done about 10%¨
4600/42000 = 10.9% (3000+1600) the best quest to do is the second quest you get. and my advice to all is do it late like after midnight. or very earlie (before 7 on the morning) then you dont have hord or other players that steel your shamans!
and i will get it!

This may sound wierd but where do you get all these quests to raise your reputation to exaulted with the elves?

hm you need to have exaltet faction with damassus to learn tiger riding....and currently theres only the morrowgrain faction quest that would give you the chance to get thos 1-39k faction points you d need as a none elf. Unfortunatly this quest turns grey way bevor 60 and give only 10% of the faction it use to give at 52+.
If anyone realy try to get this tiger as none night elf....get a couple freinds and farmt he crater till you got enough faction for the tiger as soona s you reach 50+.

Rumor has it that if one is mind controled by a priest, they take on the reputaion of the priest. If that really is true, then one could be mind controled by a high level night elf priest to have the reputation for a period of time. If so... you might want to make it worth the priest's time to help.

I Reached exalted as a Human and still need Darnassus repuation to learn tiger riding. What about Chal Fairwind?
She does nothing for Non Night Elves!
Even if you click on her repeatadly after you reach exalted with the Wintersaber Trainer faction. :)
I guess I should be bitter but I'm half way to an uber mount is the way I see it, the other half I need is Darnassus reputation. I'm a human that's exalted with the Wintersaber Trainer Faction and now I'm going back to grinding for Darnassus repuation. Besides, I helped a night elf guild member get the mount along the way so its an accomplishment either way.
I'm posting this in case any 'non night elves' missed the info in one of the varies threads here and there. You need tiger riding training from Darnassus to be eligible to use the end reward for doing Rivern Frostwinds quests. I've petitioned a GM to suggest to developers that the wording from "rivern frostwind" be changed so that 'in game' content would give some sort of hint or warning that non night elves are not eligible for the reward without the required Darnassus faction standing.
If any player is serious about grinding for the reputation it might not be a bad idea to get it out of the way now until Blizzard updates the morrowgrain to feathermoon quest and or adds high level repuation quests similar to the ones available for the argent dawn.
That said I'll share some useful information that may or may not have been posted elsewhere in these forums about Rivern's quests. Here is a link to a Nigh Elf who completed the quests and posted great information about the quest
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-quests&t=19324&p=1&tmp=1#post19324
FACTS:
Quest Perspective: Human Warrior
Repuation Mod Used: Measures in the following fashion:
Nuetral bar 3000 pts
Freindly bar 6000 pts
Honored bar 12000 pts
Revered bar 21000 pts
Repuation gained per quest turn in is 55 pts.
Doesnt matter which quest, and it doesnt matter what your faction standing is. You get 55 repuation pts per quest turn in.
"Total" quest turn ins needed to reach exalted = 764 times.
Information elsewhere may be incorrect. This information is fact.
1st quest "Frostsaber Provisions" . complete this meat collecting quest about 30 times and you get the 2nd quest, Half way through the neutral bar.
2nd quest "Winterfall Intrusion" stick with this quest, its the most time efficient.
3rd quest "Rampaging Giants" involves lvl 59 - 60 elites. May require a group effort. Travel is far from the quest giver. Takes too long to complete compared to the 2nd quest. Even with a 100% speed increase mount.
Winterfall Intrusion QUEST TIPS:
Equipt: Carrot Stick
Attach: Mithril Spurs for boots
-Find ways to shave off minutes even seconds per quest run. When you have to repeat a quest 764 times every second counts!
-Find people that are doing the quest and group. Its a kill count quest so every kill within your range counts.
-If you see Alliance grinding for Timbermaw rep in the village ask them if they wouldnt mind grouping for your quest.
-If you see Horde grinding winterfall ursa and winterfall shaman well what you do is up to you. PvP makes this tedious questing longer but its fun :)
-If your grouped with friends that aren't turning in the quest and just helping out ask them to kill the "winterfall den watchers" inside the village so more shaman spawn for your return
-
Uber Quest Tip:
Use a Warlock to summon you from Rivern Frostwind to the village over and over again. Yes it requires a party of 4. 3 to summon plus yourself. Yes I have payed Warlocks per summon if that's the incentive that was required. Remember the price per summon may cost you 25slv but reaching exalted is priceless.
Times:
Solo'ing the quest can take as long as 20minutes per run, especially if there aren't enough shaman spawned. Thats 3 quest turn ins per hour. Average is 15 minutes per run by yourself.
2 or more pple and the quest run averages 10-15 minutes. so you can potentially average 6 quest runs per hour.
Using a warlock shaves off the 3 min mounted ride back to the village. So you can potentially complete 9 quest turn ins every 60 minutes. That almost 500 rep pts per hour :)
Exalted
After reaching exalted "Rivern Frostwind" gives you the option of a vendor pop up window that will allow you to purchase the mount for 900g (you can also sell some of your useless items to him as he is techanically a vendor now :) )
If you are NOT a night elf the mount is purchasable but the icon is "red" and "requires tiger riding" shows in red as well. /sigh.

First off, there are 3 quests in the series.
The first quest : Frostsaber Provisions. Do this quest exactly 30 times (gets you halfway to neutral).
The second quest : Winterfall Intrusion. Do this quest exactly 120 times (gets you to honored).
The third quest : Rampaging Giants. Do this quest if you want, I dont recommend it. The faction hit is the same as the second one. Doing the 2nd quest is easier and faster.
Now, for the confusing part. The NPC says "Only the most TRUSTED and REVERED" may be eligiable to attempt to ride this tiger.
So, according to the quest giver, you only need revered faction. I will find out very soon anyway. Im sitting at honored as of now.
