Through at WoWs history engineer mounts have always been about crafting or gather tons of Reagents or some of those take 15-30 days to
actually craft so why is it now in TWW we just have this Absurde gold sink mount in the Profession?
Starting with the 1st mount the flying machine it required,
2 fel casings
20 elemental blasting powder
20 handfuls of fel iron bolts
8 star wood
now the Star wood is the only reagent that needs the be bought froma vendor
costing 3.6g. Next we have the Turbo charged Flying Machine and it Required,
4 Adamantite Frames
8 Khorium power cores
8 Felsteel Stabilizers
1 Hula Girl Doll
Now with this one the only item needing the be bought is the Hula girl doll at 100G
Moving on to the Mekgineers Chopper/Mechano Hog and these Required,
12 Titan steel Bars
40 Handful of Cobalt Bolts
2 Arctic fur
1 Salvaged Iron golem Parts
8 Goblin-Machined Pistions
1 Elementium-Plated Exhaust Pipe
Now with these the Items that need to be Bought are the last 3 costing 12,500g But the rest
CAN be crafted now the Titansteel Bars did have a 12 hour cooldown so it would take you 6
days atleast to craft those which i think was a fair standard when it came to the Engineer
mounts. Moving on to Depleted-Kyparium Rocket Requiring,
12 Living Steel bars
200 Kyparite
3 Orbs of Mysterys
12 High explosive Gunpowder
12 Spirit of Harmony
20 Ghost Iron bolts
Now the only item here that needs to be bought is the Orbs of Mysterys, costing 60,000g
Now you do need an Alchemist to make the Living steel but it can still be crafted.
Moving on to the Geosynchronous world spinner Requiring
12 living steel bars
12 trillium bars
12 Spirits of Harmony
20 Ghost iron bolts
3 Orbs of Mystery
And again with this one the only Item needing to be bought is the Orb of Mystery costing 60,000g
Moving on to the Sky golem it Requires
30 Jard’s Peculiar Energy Source
30 Living steel bars
Now this one does not require anything to be bought you can craft everything for this mount now this does have quit
the time delay on it requiring 30 days to craft the Jards. Moving on to the last one and that being Mecha-Mogul Mk2
and it requires
50 Platinum Ore
100 Storm SIlver Ore
20 Expulsom
20 Azerite Forged Protection Plating
20 Blast Fired Electric Servomotor
20 Crush Resistant Stabilizer
1 Barly Stable Azerite Reactor
1 Mecha-Mogul Mk1 Remote Activation Device
So now this mount only has 1 item the needs to be bought which costs 30,000g Half of them can be crafted and the other half
need to be Farmed from the motherload dungeon
So now why is it that in TWW the new mount Crowd Pummler 2-30 is just a gold sink that cost 3,100,000g ??? it just doesnt
make any sense how come we as engineers dont have a way to craft or gather atleast half the reagents for this?!?! come on blizzard
I mean heck the ACTUAL gold sink mount they added in at the end of dragonflight doest even cost half of what this mount cost
this is just ridiculous in my opinion
