I agree with CalaelenDT's comment, except you need to add Experiment 12-B which also shares that model :)
Disappointed that the Emerald Drake is going to be tied to that achievement. I wanted it on my 70, now that will not happen :(
Blazing drake...oi vey...would have been nice to just have the red, blue/azure, twilight, black, ony, and bronze for the emerald achieve...DS I tried to solo as a lock...uh I failed really hard on the get go, but unless DS is nerfed pretty hard once we get to lv 100 and slightly up the drop chance for 12B and blazing I might give it a try...But seriously? Netherwing is required for it? At least make another reward for having all netherwings and making a reward for something like a crimson netherwing drake (or make it have armor like the old pvp armored purple netherwing).Same thing with the sandstone drake as a requirement to get the emerald...perhaps an achievement for having Volcanic, vitreous, sandstone, and phosphorus (which should have its own fos due to cross realms)Limestone? Diamond? Perhaps any "stone formation" or element formed would be a nice mount reward.But anyway, that's just me venting...why not make the drake collection list somewhat similar to the crazy cat lady/man achievement ?P.S. Wtb mechanical drake mount
I play a rogue, and I need the Azure, Blue, Onyxian and Blazing drakes :/I cannot solo Maly due to the drake phase and there's no way I can solo Dragon Soul.
I was able to get the blazing drake on two different toons before the mount merge durring cata. Is it really that hard to get?
Am I the only one who finds it odd that the new mount achievements award flying mounts for the expansion where we can't fly? (And when I use the term "flying mount" I refer to those mounts that cannot be summoned in no-fly zones, such as, you guessed it, drakes.)Not that I'm against rewards, I'm currently working on the 200 mount achieve :)Hopefully the drake achieve is still in the works, I'm not too thrilled with having to farm RNG mounts either. I like the suggestions to make it "collect x amount of these drakes" and either make them all the same model (as others mentioned) or perhaps one or two of each type - normal drake, stone drake, protodrake, 'wind' drake, etc.
It would make more sense to only have the original drakes as requirements - Red, Blue OR Azure, Bronze, and lastly Black OR Twilight. I have all but Blazing so it's not entirely from greed that I say this. Given the reward, many of these drake requirements seem like half-hazard inclusions just to make the achievement unnecessarily challenging (if you can call RNG "challenge").Idk though, it could be that they're looking at everyone's collections and trying to add drakes so that the greatest number of people will have to go through some sort of effort in order to unlock the Emerald Drake. After all, it's not much of an achievement if almost every player who's been with WoW for a decent span of time will unlock it straight away.
In total agreement about the Blazing Drake. The other RNG mounts, despite the low drop rate, are at least very easily farmed (Ony and Malygos take all of a few minutes each), but the Blazing Drake requires a full clear of DS which is practically impossible to solo for a large number of players/classes (I main a Mage so gg). Even at 100 if it's soloable by everyone, it's still a full clear and people will be doing it on multiple toons, so if it's a 40 minute clear on each of them it's potentially hours of time each week. Either significantly buff the drop rate (to 30% or something similar), or allow us to skip bosses up to spine. You're also right in that the Blazing Drake just looks out of place. The others are at least all Drakes (even the Netherwing), but there are multitudes of "Drake" models they could have used (VP, Stonecore, Cata 5-man meta, Tol Barad, To4W, Raid metas). Honestly I think they should do the achievement like "Collect 7 of these 9 drakes" for the Emerald Drake, and add in another one for Cloud Serpents and Proto-drakes. Having all 3 achieves could grant you a bigger achieve that gives you something (new mount, Titles etc).
It already is soloable, you just need high item level and correct class (so far i have seen druid and dk solo it) :P
Drat! Just when I had my hopes up of finally being able to sell more Sandstone Drake, they go and replace it with the Purple Netherwing Drake. I also have all the mounts except the Blazing Drake. I have barely done any of the Dragon Soul raid, guess I need to read some strats & watch vids.Wish everyone the best of luck in acquiring this achievement.
please remove Onyxian Drake...and please add Time-Lost Proto Drake instead
please remove Blazing Drake and add Vitreous Stone Drake instead
that's some nice stuff there i want the glad murloc
Missing so many drakes =( They simply wont drop.
