I’ve been playing this game for quiet a few years now (not a hardcore player) and I’ve got a total of 90 mounts. No special rare drop mounts. They’re just your usual basic skin mounts and or same mount with 3-4 different skins.
I’ve tried farming raid mounts but I find it so tiring to do so. Any suggestions to start collecting more desirable mounts?
why it gotta be so hard? :C
Apparently 750? I haven’t really been actively collecting mounts because it’s hard to care about a +1 I’ll never look at, let alone use. There’s occasionally a super quality one that comes along, though, like the mage tower soaring spelltome.
It can be nice chill/background content, I suppose? Like, if you just want to watch a movie, might as well run Nighthold because those infernals look kind of cool. Or if you’re only on for, say, 15-20 minutes or think that you might have to leave soon, you can pop into Tempest Keep for a shot at Al’ar.
It’s unfun as a primary content type to me. Very dull, easy to burn out and lose interest, but in small or moderate doses at the right time it can be nice.
Currently according to the Collections Bot on the WoW Secret Finding & Collections Discord Server, I have 568 usable mounts on my main and 621 account-wide. This, if you count my Alliance and Horde collections combined.
If you are looking for ways to farm mounts, You may want to ask in This Thread from the Achievements Forum, As there is many collectors there that may be able to guide you in the right direction.

Almost 400 personally. I like mount collecting but I really don’t make it a goal to get as many as I can. I’ve also played since TBC so maybe that’s not actually that many in retrospective. xD
I’ll always have a thing for my Quilen and Draenor boar mounts, just my personal favorites.
I think 150 or something. I only use ashes of alar. This mount is so beautiful it is the only one I have ever farmed. Then I use yak, 2 person flight one, and sky golem if I need to do something from the mount. And I use the motorcycle on level 1-9.
Like only 220. I don’t really mount farm and only use a handful anyway. The only mounts I am farming is Invincible and Lifebinder from Heroic DS.
Armory sez I have 388. My luck for mount drops seems to have run out, though.
There’s 1 basic tip to collecting anything in this game even if this could cause a frustated sensation, just level up as many alts as possible, every alt around 50+ is another attempt for a lot of mounts.
For some mounts you’ll need extreme luck against the odds on this game, the game should have a better approach for a player with just 1 character but the RNG element makes that like the less effency way to collect.
this is my collection: https://simplearmory.com/#/us/ragnaros/darkunh/collectable/mounts
and I got 878 mounts based on dataforazeroth
181
I don’t use 90% of them. 
Around 200 I think? Not sure,
I use 1-3 mounts total and I haven’t mount farmed for literal years 
A lot of mounts aren’t worth the effort imo
I think 500 or 600, somewhere around there, i haven’t really paid too much attention since i stopped seriously collecting, i just go for low hanging fruit these days lol
738 account wide mounts. Starting to run out of things to farm.
Not enough, 350something I believe.
More than I will ever use. 196 total. And 100 of those I have probably never used lol. Not a mount farmer for that reason.
527 apparently. That’s on my ostensible main, a human paladin (lots of class mounts), and I’m not sure if that total includes horde exclusive mounts.
You kinda just have to stick out the grind to be honest. Whether it’s farming rep to buy faction mounts, or running old raids and dungeons for rare drops. In the latter case there’s a choice to be made around whether to smash one instance repeatedly with a bunch of alts, or take one well geared character through a bunch of different places. The choice is ultimately moot as you’re really just hoping for luck to be on your side at any given time.
Do it enough though and you will eventually see some success. Including many crazy lucky ones where a mount drop after very few attempts. For instance, I got Midnight on my very first! That is a wonderful feeling. Second only to the absolute elation you feel when one you’ve taken a shot at dozens or even hundreds of times finally appears in your bag!
Really just have patience, have a distraction (youtube or netflix or whatever), and take breaks regularly. Maintain your mental health. Good luck!
Uh. 415ish? I think? It might be more.
At this time i have 97 mounts. I don’t use all of them, and I’m not as into collecting them as I used to be. How times change.
400something?
I have the achievement for that, but I got that over a year ago and CBF logging in to check. You kinda just get a bunch passively if you participate in end-game content.
Armory shows 416, just not all usable by one character, achievement shows 378 usable by this character.
453 total, not all usable by a single character. Just sort of accumulated them since I started in TBC.
