Class Mounts still count towards Achievement?

I seem to remember before that there was a bug, or it might have been intentional, that when you collect other class mounts, even though you cannot use them, will add towards the total count.

Now that 8.0 is here, I have a question to ask for those who did collect ALL class mounts: Do they count toward the achievement? Or the rule of “usable by single character” still applies? Thanks
Was a bug, none of my other characters class mounts are included for my DK and when i go to my Monk for example the count goes down even more due to can't use certain mounts.

That's because DK gets the gryphon and another mount I believe. As far as the Class campaign mounts, they should still count towards your mount achievements (other than the druid flight form).

you have proof of that? Did u collect other class mounts and did they all count?
Before 8.0 all of the class mounts counted. I was at 349 on my pally. Made a trial warlock and after the training part I got the lock mounts. Logged back to the pally and I was at 351. I would assume they still count since my count did not go down with the patch and I got the achievement.

ooh, thats interesting. Hmm.. anyone else?
I got my 300 mount achievement after I collected all 4 Pally mounts, the DH mount, and the Priest mount. They all counted and that's why I am at 302 mounts!

Granted, this was in 7.3.5, but I still have the achievement and Heavenly Azure Cloud Serpent now in 8.0.

I have all the class mounts, and they all counted.
Thanks for the input guys.

I did some experimenting myself.

I got all the 3 hunter mounts.

When I logged in to my Paladin, the count is increased by 3.

So they count. For now anyways.
Yikes.
I'm at 399.
I haven't picked up my hunter recolors yet.

I know what I'm doing when I get home. \o/

Thanks for the info!
They all count, that's why the number shown on simplearmory disagrees with the achievement number in game... that website doesn't count the other class mounts.
I picked up the 2 hunter class mount recolors just now, and my total didn't budge on my warlock.

So, I think it's still per character, or something else is going on.

No matter. In 8 days I'll have a new mount anyway (pre-launch quest reward). Tick tock.

is your lock the character with the highest mount count? Mine worked when i logged into mine, which is my paladin.
They don't show on the counter but I've been grinding em out. Was at 344 then did mage, dh, shammy, lock, and Hunter. Got the 2 on lock before the rare drop on the isles, first Hunter one got me the achieve. BTW still 344 on this char.
If you click your achievements button (Y) then statitistics tab you will see a field called "Mounts Earned". This is the number used for the achievements and it DOES include class mounts and profession mounts earnt by other toons on your account.

This number is very different to the number that you will find either on the mount collections field (as that includes all kinds of filthy Alliance horses that I cannot ride) and different to what is in the API, which websites like simplearmory.com use to pull the data from.

My number on that tab is something like 436 or 437 for my sexy Paladin that has a fabulous Argent Dawn horsies.

yeah everyone knows about that and that is not the issue.

The problem is that other class mounts shouldn’t count because it breaks the achievement criteria of “usable by a single character”, hence the confusion.

And we are wondering if this intentional, or a bug, and if Blizzard is gonna give us a straight answer.
It should be classed as a bug, you cannot mount these mounts for other classes.
Hi, I know this is an old thread at this point but I'm curious...

I just finally am getting around to catching up my class mounts from legion, I had already been at 247/250 for "mountacular" and picked up the first two out of three of my class mounts (looking for the rare demon to spawn that drops my third) but I went and checked and rather than being up to 249/250 it still shows me at 247...

So have they changed it so these class mounts no longer count for the total collection achievements? (overall collection number in mount collection tab did increase up over 300, to 302 in fact, so I'm not really certain why this number didn't move for the class itself that I got the mounts for.)

They should, but if another character has more useable mounts then the count applies to them from what I've seen. My pally has more useable mounts than all of my other characters due to class mounts and Legion class mounts, along with the Argent Charger. So whenever I go to finish a mount achievement I have to log onto her for it to count.

As far as I know the class mounts from the legion campaigns count on any char while the other class mounts (dreadsteed, charger, maybe the DK fel cat thing) don't.
