It is, but it is significantly more effective to farm now, which is exactly what I want.
Yes but I also said I brought this up back in Legion. I assume island expeditions were addressed because they will be old content in Shadowlands, maybe even impossible to queue/access.
Itâs too bad Blizz decided to let rep buff expire. It was a nice incentive to get people to farm for the paragon mounts.
Yeah exactly. The drop chance of those mounts is ridiculous compared to the amount of time it takes to get a cache.
Yeah, and it didnât catch any traction back then when it was current and relevant.
Why do you think it would be a good idea 2 years later.
Because the only way to ask is to ask.
The paragon mounts were a bad idea anyway. Which is why they arenât in the BFA emissaries. Iâve only ever gotten two of those mounts.
And still havenât gotten the Wondrous Wisdom ball. The biggest problem with that one is it had a quest attached to it. Which now will not be any sort of challenge. Because it hasnât dropped in three years of farming.
oddly enoughâŚI got lucky here. I have most if not all of the Dranei ones. And I got these in under 4 paragon runs per âfactionâ.
We wonât talk about the nightborne one. This oneâŚwhat I have to say about it would have me use words that have me temp banned a mere 2 days after my return. Iâd like at least a month before that happens lol
Not to mention, old content. They rely on collectors like OP in content droughts, especially now since the current content sort of sucks. People like the OP will stick around for months collecting things from old content, just like these mounts.
Very true, and the rep bonus reignited my passion but itâs gone now.
Rep bonus increased the effectiveness of farming, which resulted in more people trying again I assume.
Encouraging people to play their game is not a bad thing, but hey I can let my sub run out again and move on too, no skin off my noseâŚjust super sad cos I love that unicorn so much lol
Might as well let it lapse, you can resume farming for these mounts later when thereâs more content for you to play. Doesnât take long to go back to Legion once a day and get some dailies or emissaries done. If thatâs worth the 15$ a month for you though, keep at it.
They probably wonât put them in the vendor, but they could at least drop the rep to 5k. Or make them a 100% drop rate. I hate the paragon system and Iâm glad only 1 rep in BFA has a mount in the cache.
Aw⌠if only they had an event that let you get them faster⌠Like, oh wait one just ended!
I joined end of legion. I am missing just 2 of these mounts now and Iâm not even trying hard. Just doing the embassies when I feel like it.
All mounts in this game are like little achievements on their own. Some easy, some tough.
Canât stand the RNG of them. I got the Highmountain & Dreamweavers ones when Legion was live & both were only 1 attempt, & the Nightfallen carpet I received a few months ago. getting real sick of doing Court & Valarjar rep. Guessing I donât have the hippogryph or the dragon because those two are the ones I want the most.
Note that they already doubled the rep gains over what they originally were which is basically the same as halving the cost of paragon boxes (even better for getting alts up).
That said, my enjoyment of having the mounts is not dependent on other people not having them or forcing others to no-life the game as hard as I did to get them.
Agreed. The problem is this prevalent all over the game. Remember the green proto drake? Thats going back to wrath! Although at least that was rep grinded only once. Just on an rng 3 day lock out.
I myself have all the legion paragon mounts except for that damn fox that refuses to drop from either the withered training scenario or the nightfallen cache. Stupid system.
Itâs very simple isnât it, but some people love to glorify the âhard effortâ of doing mundane world quests over and over every day of every week for a cache that has a small chance to give a unique mount in some cases.
We arenât here asking for Invincible to have 100% drop rates, but requesting they adjust the rep so we can farm old RNG caches more efficiently is apparently crossing the line.
A similar example, one that is also cosmetic, is the current situation of elite warfront set appearances. I believe they only drop from weekly quests and the world bosses. To build a full set of gear from this is extremely slow and painful and, as always, full of RNG.
Should Blizz confirm they will put these sets on a vendor (the non pvp ones) when we are in the next expac (aka it becomes old content), I donât expect anyone to complain about that (except maybe people that spent months farming it the poor souls). But if they do this, and I expect they will, I would be surprised if they didnt, how is that any different to simplifying the old Legion rep mount system?
I got three of them on the first cache. I was shocked to discover theyâre supposed to be rare!
EDIT: Oh wow, I just looked at the list. I actually donât have the nightfallen one! I didnât even know they had one! Guess I better work on that.
They also drop an item that starts a mission to save the orange fox that then becomes a mount!
no u dont
u want what we grinded all expansion for handed to u on a silver platter
stop asking for selfish handouts its pathetic
About zero chance, since they even made Legion reps raise-able during the rep bonus thing (pretty much for that EXACT purpose, from my point of view, well and possibly getting those allied races if you were really THAT slow.)
I got at least 2 caches each (during that rep bonus), of my remaining 3 mounts to get:
Farondis
Nightfallen
Dreamweavers
Mounts = ZERO STILL! 
I also got innumerable ones in Legion, at least the same as the other paragons which I got all the mounts for. I even got the Wardenâs ânon-mountâ thingie, which I did not even want.
With Blizzard, they just donât like to make things other people got less rare at a later time; they say that thing about devaluing them, etc.
At least as a DK I also have a death gate to the Legion order hall, for still doing rep missions whenever they are up.
