Sea Turtle, or "PHOTOS IN!! SO CUTE!!"


I'm sooo excited! I thought they'd make it a silly red color ("coral" the color is pinkish-orange), but it's just like the TCG turtle. :D Which I LOVE! This makes up for Blizzard not giving me a sleepy panda pet.

I maaay have screeched in husband's ear when I saw it, something he's not particularly fond of. >_> Sorry husband!

MMO-Champion says:
Turtles All the Way Down - Fish up a Sea Turtle mount from any fishing pool in Northrend. (Video, this is recorded in WALKING speed, the running speed is 60% just like any lvl 40 mount, swimming speed is 133%)
All the comments on the video say "Why aren't you showing it swimming?" I want to shake them. Who CARES about swimming?! It's CUTE!

^ Only thing that matters.


[edit] Husband thinks I shouldn't get too attached to this skin just in case, since it is the PTR.
I agree and will try not to be too disappointed if they change it to something not-as-cute. In the meantime, enjoy more turtle fun.

  5. What is the drop rate going to be for this turtle?

  6. Remember that the run speed is that of a Normal mount on land. :)

    Drop rate will be VERY low. Won't know numbers until it goes live and people start fishing it up -- husband says it'll be too low for people on the PTR to get it before it goes live. I think that even if 2 or 3 people get it on PTR, the numbers won't be accurate until 10-20 have fished it up on live servers. Then we'll have a good idea.

    One good thing about this -- guilds will get a LOT of buff fish. I need to talk to my superior officer fishermen and coordinate which pools of fish we want to focus on, so we can have a nice mix of buffs.

  7. Noes! *re-reads article* Only 60% speed?

    Ah well, I guess 60% normal land mount speed is technically charging for this little fellow. Wouldn't want to exert him going at 100% anyway :D He can save his energy for when we get into the big wide ocean! (133% speed)

  8. I really hope it will be low like hell. I'll fish for it and i hope not every 'I fish a hour and have it'-guy will get it ;-D
