Aarrrggh I've already wasted time killing these rares :( As other people have said, for some of us, collecting mounts is what we do. I don't do dungeons, raids, or rated pvp. I like to kill rares and get some mounts, then go explore and do weird achievements for some more mounts. This sucks.
I've wasted a lot of time on especially Gieger and Harika this way, being Night Fae rogue. Weird decision by blizzard to not have other covenants be able to loot mounts from other covenants' rares, since it makes it much harder to get groups - also because some of them you can easily solo but Valfir (Night Fae) is an elite that will slap you silly before you can get him down, unless you have a tanking spec.An idea I've thought of, in my frustration over this: When players become Exalted with other covenants, they should be considered honorary members of that covenant and should then be able to get the mounts off the rares... or get an item that makes them eligible from the quarter master that makes it so. They should be unable to purchase the mounts for anima+gifts I guess.
Also, kinda sucks Night Fae only have one - while both necrolord & venthyr have 2.
Really appreciate this post. Would be most welcome for pets as well.
Makes sense to restrict it to covenant. That means you have more incentive to try out other covenants. They have a function beyond your main.
I'm actually glad I don't have to go around with every single alt to farm mounts.
Man all the times I killed Giger with my girlfriend 'cause she's Necro and I'm Venthyr... All the times she's killed the bat with me! What a crazy revelation man. Thanks for letting us know, BLIZZ. >.>
Can some explain to me how do you activate all the conductors? As venthyr?
I've had a lot of confusion and misunderstanding regarding these restrictions. I got the Predatory Plagueroc on my necrolord, and all of my alts are able to use it. I was hoping the same would apply for the armored bonehoof tauralus, since it can drop from the conductor mobs, but that doesnt seem to work. Too bad, my warrior would look great on a tauralus :<
So much wasted time on Hopecrusher HAHAHA
Wait...so all this damn time I've been trying to get the bat and the plagueroc on my new main & having friends summon those bosses daily...only to be that I cant even loot the damn things unless im on the exact covenants?Thats REALLL bs man...what even is the combo for venthyr and classes?
This needs to get stickied. I'm tired of getting yelled at people when I tell them that Gieger/Harika etc won't drop the mount for them if they're not X covenant. They cuss me out and tell me their cousin's mother's best friend got it.Editing for later. REALLY needs to get stickied. Apparently no one has read this one "on the sites they go to."
