if Aedryens first kill was july 31, 2017… and there have been 294 lockouts between then and now, minus the 2 years you didn’t play during MoP, it leaves about 190 lockouts… with 334 runs?
i guess my math is wrong.
it’s way past my bed time.
you’re right.
…but the good citizens of GD are somewhat prone to exaggeration.
I remember deleting that character and restoring it as well as a lot of faction and race changes over the years. Possible that some of the achievement dates got screwy with all of those. Who knows?
Also, MoP was released before WoD after Cataclysm.
Absolutely positive, besides that first time, long before collections was a thing and the raid leader passed it to the next highest roller upon my broadband internet router needing a reset, nope. Still greyed out in my collections.
Or just do like FFXIV EX trials, where every clear rewards a token or two. Tokens can be used to buy the drops from that boss (10 for gear, 99 for mounts) so even if you get SUPER unlucky with drops or loot rolls you’re still guaranteed a mount after 50-99 kills.
I got Ashes of Al’ar on my first run. I didn’t even want it really. Just was after the talon fist weapons that dropped off the first boss and decided to clear the raid anyway. Maybe this is what I get for getting a 1% drop mount on a first run of a different raid that i didn’t care about getting.
Nope, it was my story as well until about 3 months ago. It was kinda sad that the feeling I had when it dropped wasn’t “YES ! ! !”. It was “thank god this is over”.
I still haven’t chosen another weekly disappointment…
You really think bad luck isn’t a thing with RNG? lol. I JUST found out about the Rarity Addon a few days ago to track how many times I’ve killed a NPC for a loot roll(ie: Huolon)
I had 77 kills against Nightbane in Kara before the 19% droprate mount finally dropped. I have been farming Huolon off and on for 8 years+ and no mount drop. Same with Firelands/Deathwing. Tons of runs, no mount. Bad luck exists. This also goes for Galleon, Sha, Nalak and the Oondasta. no drops over multiple years and multiple alts running. I got the High Society Tophat(that won’t sell lol). Bad luck exists.
I would guesstimate it’s been about 300ish runs for me. I have not actually counted, it could be closer to 200 or 400. It’s something I just do once in a blue moon. I have gotten Shadowmourne three times though!
I can’t complain though, I got Ashes of Al’ar one day on a whim, not even intending to farm it. Probably my 3rd clear ever.
That’s dedication. I wish I could give you mine, you deserve it way more than me.
I was curious so I checked my Lich King Kills across the only 3 characters I could have got Invincible on (forget which it dropped for). 13 total kills, 7 on heroic. I was only there for Tier set mogs.
I think in Blizzards eyes its currently “working as intended”. Some of you mentioned you have been farming these mounts for years, so its obviously part of the reason you are still playing.
This model makes sense for games that require a monthly sub. Its possible it might be included into future trading post rewards? And because there are so many other mounts available that are easier to get i dont think they care leaving this one as rare as it is.
What they did with Legion legendaries is after you reached a certain number of attempts in qualifying content, the next attempt would get you a legendary drop.
I know attempts on flametalon of Alysrazor didn’t display correctly for me.
