I bought irl or received help to grind about 6 of my 100 mounts (see my collection). The rest I got on my own, per my guide. Instead of buying or grinding those 6, I could have gotten any combination of the following: 3 more Argent mounts, 1 Time-Lost Drake, 1 motorcycle, 1 Oracles drop, 4 holiday mounts, 1 Oculus drop, tailoring, or engineering.
Thus, this is not impossible to solo, and I've proven it. Birdfall has 1 other player to force to do stuff (husband), and she only got his help with the Ahn'Qiraj grind. She did almost all of this in level 80 5-man heroic gear and 1 fancy emblem cape.
You can do this.
The outfit above is one of my RP sets.
The swords and cloak are from Baron Rivendare. The belt is off one of the Stratholme mini-bosses that you have to kill anyway to get to Rivendare.
The pants are Starfire Trousers, easily found on the AH.
The boots are simple Recruit's Boots, buyable inside Old Hillsbrad Foothills or swipe-able from level 1 human, dwarf, and gnome warriors.

Ah, but did you solo the level 80 5-man heroic dungeons? *grin*
ReplyDeleteIf you've ever pugged before, then you know the answer to that is most likely "yes".

Congratulations! I had stalled at around 70 mounts and you have been an inspiration to push on. 76 and counting!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I seem to be stalled at 89-ish myself.
ReplyDeleteAh, and I forgot the important bit: Congratulations! I adore your blue dragonhawk.
That is an awesome picture!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, it's beautiful!

ReplyDeleteRunning the Pally charger quest, not because I don't already have a charger, but because just buying one always made me feel a little guilty. Still, the quest chain is a pain. I ask myself why I'm doing it.
ReplyDeleteWhile in Strath, getting the holy water, I think I might as well run over and drop the Baron, for old times sake (stopped trying to get the Deathcharger a while ago.) Yep, the reins dropped.
And that's why I was doing the pally quest I didn't need to do, I guess. Sometimes, when you love up the game, it loves you right back.
Onward to 100!
:D That's awesome.
