Comment by Olleking

This and the Swift Zulian Panther are the new mounts which will drop from Zul'Aman / Zul'Gurub in patch 4.1. They are replacing the old Swift Zulian Tiger and the Swift Razzashi Raptor which were drops from the old Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub, which aren't avaible to players anymore.

did you really have to write the same thing on all "Olleking"s posts?

btw: mmo-champion.com

and googling isn't that hard.

Edit: looks like the guy deleted his post

Comment by Blackriver

It'd better still be green.

Comment by SpiderX3m

Cool and where exactly does it state that we will have a shot for the warbear?
Oh wait...?

Comment by pewpewx

The new and improved Swift Razzashi Raptor, with extra armor added!

Comment by Casstiel13

I think the mount will look exactly like the Bloodtalon Thrashers in the troll starting zone, Its armor/ skin is the reverse of the original AND that makes it the same color as all the other raptors that were in the original lvl 60 version.

Keep in mind that it's still beta and can change before going live!

Comment by amgyn

I am so glad they are bringing these mounts back for the people that missed out on them.

I am even happier that they aren't making the original mounts obtainable - this means if you managed to get the mounts before the zones were removed, you can now earn 2 (3) more to add to your stable!

Comment by Delnoir

I think its safe to assume that this is the baby raptor you meet early on in the main Northern Stranglethorn quest chain.

Makes you wonder what they've been feeding her for her to grow up that fast.

Comment by Deathbang

I don't quite see the difference as the other Razzashi Raptor was armored as well. Maybe this one has armored armor? Would anyone really be surprised?

Comment by Tayluh

Just got mine 5 mins ago!
My first ZG-Heroic dungeon, Had farmed for it for about a year before it was removed,
Strangly enough when it dropped i won with an 100. Feels good man!
Uploading a picture of this beautie!
-Edit-
The mount drops from Bloodlord Mandokir, Its pink / purple / redish, With piercing green eyes.

Comment by GullaDaPwna

I'm staking all my bets on the boss that always been dropping it...mandokir...cuz you know...he has a raptor...that may sound crazy...so crazy it might just work!

Comment by dantheman777

hmm durp I dunno maybe MANDOKIR... the same boss that dropped the old one? Reading is hard guyz

Comment by Neyylia

Dropped from Mandokir, the new one in ZG hc.

And no, you don't have to do crazy things to have it drop.

I was looking for the tank weapon of him, but hey.. it's not that bad of a deal to have this one instead ;)

Comment by DragmaKerp

I have mine in the first kill of the new Mandokir boss. After menacing my guildies with kill them if they stole my raptor we roll it and I won it, my heart was almost out of my chest by nervs but... hell I won it, in the first kill of the first day of the patch! Maybe it was the Karma regarding me for the months spended on the old for nothing...
Sorry if I misspelled something, I'm spanish.

Comment by ciggyx

Have to admit, he looks a lot better than the new panther. It's silly, really.
Killed the Raptor boss about 5 times, this dropped only once.

He has red toe nails.

Proud owner of an old Zulian and new Razzashi.

Comment by rockmanzero

Really don't know why they have to give a plainly looking like panther,, whilst the raptor look so much better, can't really say that Blizzard is doing it's best on the good lookin mounts anymore only on the very new Blizz Store Ponys that they sell for money, and I tought they would never do something like that. Stupid Activision and their money sink potential seekers.

Comment by Healca

Dropped today in our guild run (actually my 3rd run), was on alt so passed to lucky guildie.

This mount has same model as old version but has other colours, dropped by Ohgan boss in new Zul'gurub hc (similar looking boss as the one in old ZG (raid) but on skeletal raptor instead). Mount's drop rate looks the same as old one, 1%~, also it doesn't matter which way you are killing boss doing achievement or not, even if you ganna try it nude :)

There are 2 mounts that can be obtained through ZG hc runs: Armored Razzashi Raptor (Ohgan) and Swift Zulian Panther (High Priestess Kilnara).

why the boss rides skeletal raptor but drops one with flesh? the main question i've got :)

Comment by Tetteri

I got yesterday, in my 2. run :P lucky.

Comment by wyntersabers

It's hot pink and fabulous

Comment by Maulhammer

Any see the resemblance of the Sunscale Screecher? its like the trolls pumped 'em full of steroids and jumped on their backs. I must say, its a fantastic colour scheme and its a shame its not one of the troll vendor mounts. oh well, i guess its worth it. TO ZUL'GURUB!

Comment by babilonia

My wand Touch of Discord and the raptor dropped at the same time. And i won both
I guess i can say friday the 13th is my lucky day =)

Comment by Sparkimus

Had one of these bad boys drop in a PuG earlier. Thankfully, while I DCed in the middle of the Venoxis fight, the group was awesome enough not to immediately kick me.

Came back, downed the Mandokir (THE BLOOOOOODLOOOOOOOOoooord), and BAM there it was. I won with a 36 :-D

Comment by Revenent

Got it on my 1st run on this toon. WOOT!

Comment by Alien93

This mount dropped for me to day and i said '' I will teabag boss and win the mount '' - go to boss teabag the boss - result won the mount lol ( I did the same thing when panther dropped ) confirm that if you pressing need while teabag the boss you will win the roll!

Comment by oxnardo

Those damn goblins and their motto ruined everything... ¬_¬

Comment by mancy

Didn't know the droprate was just as low as the old one.
I got it on my first run with my alt. I saw it drop like 3 times though.

Comment by Feer23

Just seen this drop, I'm, unsure if 1% is the rate!

Comment by Baltibor

Hi,
I just launched a new website for wow mount collectors : http://mounts.wowlogy.com

Comment by santipants

IF BLIZZ WAS SMART THEY'D HAVE MADE IT BE A OHGAN'S DEAD CARCASS OH WAIT THEY ALREADY USED THAT SKIN FOR ARCHEOLOGY TOO BAD YOU CAN'T COME UP WITH GOOD IDEAS ANYMORE.

Comment by lolwalrus

seen two of these drop.

first time i rolled a 5 and second time i rolled 2 off the winner, but the winner was a guildy that didn't want it, so he gave it to me :)

good luck to all trying to get this. looks transparent in shadowform :)

Comment by Starnibbe

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I believe this may be a drop for the "hard" version of this boss, which, as included in for example Ulduar, is for the Achivement Ohganot So Fast!. If you do this achivement, the raptor may drop?
As for this post above, I have actually no proof this works, but it's a theory at least?
Give me some response bruddahs and sistahs!

Comment by therealchumm

Got this one my 4th run on Rogue. The drop is RANDOM.
It is about as rare as the ZG original mounts and one of the few raptor mounts open to alliance.

YOU DO NOT NEED ANY ACHIEVEMENTS.

Comment by Derrock315

got it the other day without doing achievement, looks like any other raptor mount. Not that exciting.

Comment by dm0190

done 200+ runs for this mount
RNG sucks- not even seen it once.

Comment by mgodfr00

This dropped for me on a random heroic group, and I was lucky enough to get the roll. Good luck to all.

Comment by Akria

I got it my first run. didn't even know it could drop..!

Comment by baalzevuv

I'm looking forward to solo farming this on my mage when MoP comes out.

1. Pop cooldowns and nuke
2. Cast Alter Time before being decapitated
3. Get decapitated
4. Cauterize decapitated head
5. Bounce back in time to refresh cauterization (assuming the internal cool-down gets reset)
6. Nuke more
7. Lose head again
8. Again, magically cauterize missing head wound.
9. Ice Block to get rid of cauterize dot.
10. And hopefully have enough DPS to kill the boss before the third decapitation.

Comment by Exxar

First heroic ZG run I won it with a big roll!

Comment by blackdragon7859

someone told me that these mounts are droped only when you beat the boss's within a time limmit, if this is true WHY is there no info about how to do this? ive checked and no mount drop is listed from ANY boss in ZA or ZG
please Respond! TYVM.

Comment by Anieyu

... hate it... CHANGE IT BACK!

Comment by Worcraft2120

I have the old tiger but , seriously is mount is sweet , i hope i get it

Comment by Chenzil07

I have this mount on my rogue, i do agree with some people, the green one should be back, green is much cooler.

Comment by bullshizzblizz12

464 kills atm lost 5 or 6 of these /cry ..bless me rng gods

Comment by MikadoGG

I would like to say that Mandokir and Kilnara are definitely farmable by two people (preferably tank and hybrid dps/healer). My bf and I kill them a few times every week hoping to see the mounts drop. We run prot paladin - shadow/disc priest.

On Mandokir as long as you kill Ohgan every time he spawns (stuns are great for this too if you have them), don't stand in aoe and get in a decent amount of damage between decapitates you don't need to heal the tank at all. If tank gets decapitated I use dispersion to tide me over, or pop shadow fiend/fade. You only need to last 4-5 seconds before tank can get ressed and taunt off you. It's a marathon kill because you spend a lot of time dying and ressing/self buffing as shadow piest, might be easier for melee dps.

On Kilnara, I switch to disc spec. It's pretty straight forward, tank pulls one pack of panthers at a time, dps them down, dispel her magic debuff, get out of waves, win. Pretty much just like the regular strategy for full groups, just takes longer because of lower dps.

The trash pull directly before her room is actually more difficult than the boss herself. We use mind control on a blood drinker, get it killed, then just spam heals on tank, dispel tank and mobs. Try to kill/CC the priest in that group first if you can because he gives the rest of the mobs a buff that makes them deal significantly more damage to the tank, sometimes two-shotting him if I'm not quick enough on dispels. Being a priest with offensive single target and mass dispel is extremely handy for this, but other classes should be able to figure out a strategy for this pull too.

Hope this is helpful. Good luck on your mounts.:)

Comment by Aerozia

I'm scared, the ingame loot table doesnt list the mount as existing!

Comment by citrique

This mount is currently solo farmable by an 85 blood DK on live as of this patch.

Necessary talents:

- Purgatory
- Death Siphon

Necessary glyphs:

- Glyph of Vampiric Blood

Necessary gear:

- Rotting Skull
- Fire of the Deep
- Both trinkets macro'ed into army of the dead as both of these particular trinkets can be used at the same time
- About 400+ ilevel of tank gear, preferrably reforged into avoidance stats
- Swordshattering runeforge

Necessary buffs:

- Str flask
- Kings drums
- Avoidance food (dodge or parry)
- Runescroll of fortitude
- Golemblood potion

Directions:

Summon a risen ally, cast bone shield and pull the boss. Your cast sequence will be outbreak, death strike, death strike, heart strike, heart strike. Then cast Dancing Rune Weapon, Icebound Fortitude, Empower Rune Weapon, wait 1-2 seconds, cast vampiric blood, use both trinkets and cast Army of the Dead. When Mandokir Decapitates you, you will be in a Purgatory state with about 1M damage to heal up out of. Death Siphon twice and rune tap, this should heal you out of Purgatory. You will then have so much vengeance that you will more or less 2-shot the boss and he will die long before the next Decapitate.

The reason this works is the currently somewhat broken scaling of Vengeance for tanks at level 85, and the mechanic of Decapitate. Decapitate does 15M damage before mitigation. By stacking cooldowns, the damage of the ability is successively reduced:

- Icebound Fortitude 50%
- Bone shield 20%
- Army of the Dead with maximum avoidance stats from runeforge, gear, DRW, trinket on-use, and str to parry conversion (pot, flask, kings, str trinket) 75-80%

This results in Decapitate hitting you for roughly 800K-1.2M damage depending how much avoidance you have for Army of the Dead. You then gain vengeance based on the unimitigated 15M damage value of the ability, resulting in you having about 1.2M attack power, causing Death Siphon with glyphed Vampiric Blood up to heal you for about 550K per cast, getting you out of Purgatory.

A prot paladin can also solo this boss much more trivially as Ardent Defender simply causes them not to die regardless of gear, they then also have the same amount of AP from Vengeance and also 2-shot the boss.

Comment by Worcraft2120

just got this mount on Wednesday , It is seriously awesome , now with the account mounts i get to ride it on my boomkin! Happy hunting!

Comment by BscorpobBx5

EDIT: As of patch 5.4, in 539 gear, it is better off to just maintain aggro and use DPS CDs and burn him down, pet doesn't need to tank. Killed him in 15 seconds.

Another Edit: If you really think you can, I pet tanked and still managed to kill him today before he even got a chance to cast decapitate, in 561 gear, kill took 8 seconds.

105 kills and still no mount.
FINAL EDIT: Got it after 145 kills. Truly a beauty and worth the effort.

Old text here for nostalgic purposes:

I have soloed the boss that drops this mount with a BM hunter in 472 lfr gear.

The key to the fight is to place a snake trap ON bloodlord mandokir about 5 seconds before he uses decepitation, so that the fight does not reset while you are being ressurected.

Other than that, the fight goes normally with you pet tanking (I used a tenacity specced corehound)

I reccomend using your CDs after you get decepitated atleast once, so that you may stack it with the damage and health increasing buff.

I would also reccomend using feign death whenever he uses bloodletting, it prevents damage and him healing himself.

Due to your deaths from decepitate, then the addon DBM is useless, because it does not know how to react to your deaths. If you can do a good amount of dps, then once he reaches 20%, you can just dps since he uses decepitation less.

Goodluck to all mount farmers out there!

EDIT: As of 5.3, if you have your pet out he will only Decapitate you ONE TIME. After that, you can just dps, and not worry about the decapitates, as he will not cast it anymore. No need to even kill Ohgan anymore, as you will not die from decapitate.

Comment by legomaster26

There is a pet that looks exactly like this, anyone know where it could be?

Comment by Mightyena

Decided to go for this mount today and got a friend of mine to join me on his DK. It was pretty easy to get him down, and if you, like me, are hunter, you can just pull all the way to the boss and feign death. All trash will run back then. Just remember to dismiss your pet before you mount ;)
Dropped for me on the first try :*

I do belive it is solo-able as a hunter tho, if you're stratic with snake traps. Then he will go for the snakes instead of resetting, when you die - and you should be back up before you run out of snakes.

Good luck on farming :)

Comment by Grooved

I may get downvoted, but i have genuinly farmed this on 5 characters a day for about 2 months, incredibly the mount just won't come off of Mandokir. I've had the panther twice, which fortunately i won one of! But no Raptor, it appears mythological. However i will not stop my farming, its rather intense. That gushing heart feeling i get stays, so i will continue to do it. I just wanted to say that this is by far one of the rarest ive encountered in my farming days.

Good luck to everybody!

Comment by jostor

Edit: As of patch 5.3 he will never use decapitate on his main target and hence this is easily doable by any class.

Old text:
For any level 90s looking to solo him for the mount (or some other loot...), he will still use his decapitate which will still oneshot you. In order to solo him you will need to in some way avoid at the very least the first decapitate with some form of immunity (Bubble, iceblock or similar effects).

He will cast the first decapitate 10 seconds into the fight and the repeating every 30 seconds after that, so use your first immunity ~8-9 seconds into the fight and then cancel it after the decapitate, and you will then have to use your second one 30 seconds later, or have him dead by that time.

In order to have him dead before the second decapitate you will need to do 4.8 million damage over 40 seconds (120k DPS), which should be doable by most classes if you have a bit of raid gear. Just remember you will need an immunity effect.

If you do not have an immunity (or can use something like a hunter snake trap to cheese past it) you will most likely need to bring a friend for doing it, at least until the next expansion after Mists of Pandaria.

Comment by mimee21

61 attempts still no mount. O-o.. panther dropped after about 12 tries... But dang did not expect this raptor to take this long and still no drop.

Just a heads up for the ones farming that It might take a WHILE! Good luck!

Comment by spiny64

After farming this for almost 2 years straight (since the dungeon versions came out) It finally droppped for me on January. I used to do it many times a day, when you could queue for random Zandalari, and then run it once a day with 4 characters, but it was only until I 2 manned with my wife. I had dropped 3 times before but other people got it. We used 2 Windwalker monks but it can also be done by Ret/Prot Pally and Rogue (our other 90s). I maintain that the drop chance seems to be very low still. I must have killed Mandokir 500+ times only to see it 4 times... doing basic math/probability, thats less than 1%...

Good luck to other happy farmers...

Comment by TheWheatOne

~~For many classes without the required immunities or gimmicks, it is still impossible to solo the boss that drops this.~~

Edit: Bliz changed it. He no longer uses his one-shot ability on players he is currently targeting, so he'll never use it on you when soloing him. Thus, it is now very possible to win easily.

Comment by nushidorei

Soloable in 5.2 as a Retribution Paladin, I have made a Youtube guide for those who are interested in defeating this boss. I also think it will be soloable by Death Knights with Purgatory as well as Rogues and Mages with Cheat Death / Ice Block.

Good luck on your mount endeavors.

Comment by SunrizeDemo

killed it the 2nd time today solo with my warlock and it dropped :D

Comment by Real1sity

With 5.3 it's easy now to kill Mandokir for everyone without Decapitate.
I've done 2 Kills with my Rogue and 2 with my Ret and I was a lucky Bastard on 4th Kill.
Got the Onyxia Mount on that day too.

Just too lucky sometimes.

Comment by zennon999

Can anyone confirm this mount drop in 5.3. I've been farming it on 6 chars from 5.3 and since cata on my mage using iceblock for decapitate and haven't seen it, along with the panther mount.

Comment by Nahualxolotl

I do not know about you, but in 4.1 I did this boss at least 50 times ( did not know about the mount, new player) then on 4.3 I learned it exists, and began to farm it with a couple friends (another 40-50 tries), then since the begining of MOP until 5.3 I did it with a warrior buddy like another 40-50 times, then sinces 5.3 I have done it solo at least 56 times (two chars 4 weeks) and I have never seen it, even the drop.....my warrior friend went to solo a month ago and he got it on the 4th F*ck*ng run, and today a friend went to solo and he got it on the 5th run.......I guess luck is luck (a bloody b*tch), will keep trying (the pourpose of the comment is to inform that it could drop in any try for anyone, and to QQ a little bit.....)

Comment by Rasorath

Got the raptor today on my 146th attempt :) Got both of the mounts now, finally...

Comment by Ariav

Weird Glitch on Mandokir I am a 496 blood dk I ended up fighting him normally, but he never dismounted and he still summoned oghan. Didn't fight any other bosses but him. Hopefully it keeps doing this, Made it super easy to beat him and he didn't use decapitate once! Don't know if this is a glitch but it was helpful. No mount but this was my first attempt.

Comment by Zwizzer

I finally got this after a year worth of farm, now I'll only go there to slay the Priestess for the panther.

A tip to hunters is to either use a snake trap to prevent the decapitate. Or just dismiss your pet :D

Good luck fellow mount hunters :D

Comment by superforyou

I got this on my 14th run and I'll consider myself extremely lucky! :) Good luck to you all. You'll get it sooner or later!

Proof of drop:

Comment by Mytheus

I noticed that they had changed this boss fight recently so that he won't one-shot you if you are soloing it, so I decided to give it a try. First try was successful, average loot. Second try, the mount drops... I was really shocked because I was running the dungeon for the panther for quite a while and couldn't solo Bloodlord Mandokir, so I had never tried. Today, I have a Brand new Raptor. For all of you that are farming this, keep it up! There is still hope!

Comment by Lupen202

Very easily solo'd by a well-geared hunter. I'm currently 508 ilvl and only have to deal with one decapitate before I can kill him. Just have to snake trap right before he one shots me so he doesn't reset, then I just dps him down quick enough.

Sadly no raptor yet, though.

Comment by ucplayer

It just dropped for me!

It was the 24th kill.

:)

Comment by mystic4

221 kills, still nothing....

My worst mount farm yet.

Comment by ZNasty

Edit: The Scuttler's Shell is now only usable in Pandaria.

If you are 90 and farming for this mount still then a very handy thing to have is a Scuttler's Shell. They drop from the crabs on the Timeless Isle and are usable outside the island. By using this item you can easily sneak past most mobs. Saves time and makes the runs less of a headache.

Comment by Vonzai

This finally just dropped for me on my Rogue while soloing him. Took me around 70-80 tries spread out on different characters. Definately worth the farm! Was the last mount that i needed to complete the ZG collection aswell! Don't give up fokes. It will drop eventually!

EDIT: spelling.

Comment by stigmund

Contrary to what people are saying about Mandokir no longer 1-shoting while soloing...your wrong, i just got decapitated.

Comment by JRxPHANTOM

Iv'e been farming the two ZG mounts for about 25 days now. A week ago I was lucky and got the Swift Zulian Panther(Currently use it all the time on my horde characters). Been trying to get this too for my alliance characters but no luck yet. Still trying everyday!

Comment by wertski

Hmm done it 2 times before while leveling and now 5th time it drops. Still can't believe my luck right now.

Comment by Alyzyne

Just got the Swift Zulian Panther this morning.. Starting to farm Armored Razzashi Raptor ... hoping for the best of luck with this one aswell.

Comment by brooks05

After 4 month farming the raptor it droped today, worth it yes:-) panther dropped after 3 month. No more zg :-)

Still going strong at 220 attempts accross 3 toons. :(

Omg, cant believe this... it droped after 2 years farming
omg omg omg

Comment by Uhlahnya

I want to get this for sentimental reasons. I just did the questline starting with A Lashtail Hatchling and ending with An Old Friend, and I feel like this is the "mount version" of my hatchling.

Comment by alecrezyrk

this actually doesn't drop anymore .. .. ...

Comment by Jazzycakes2

So like most people I've been soloing multiple instances for various bosses and have put together some statistical likelihood that I want to share with you all so that you can use this information as well to your own bidding.

So I'm farming these mounts on a day basis
Reins of the Blue Proto-Drake 1.1% Chance to drop
Reins of the Raven Lord 1.6% Chance to drop
Armored Razzashi Raptor 1.0% Chance to drop
Swift Zulian Panther 0.96% Chance to drop
Reins of the Vitreous Stone Drake 0.77% Chance to drop
Reins of the Drake of the North Wind 0.8% Chance to drop

Now I want to look at the statistical likelyhood of NOT seeing any of the above drop, we use an inverted value for the above (1% turns to 99%, 1.5% to 98.5%). The calculation is as followed

0.989 x 0.984 x 0.99 x 0.9906 x 0.9923 x 0.992 = 93.94% Chance of none of the above mounts dropping. (6.06% chance of at least one mount dropping)

I improve this by running this 7 times a week = 0.9394^7 = 64.56% Chance of no mounts dropping
OR run this 21 times a week with 3 alts = 0.9394^21 = 26.91% Chance of no mounts (73.1% chance of at least 1 mount!)

Wednesday I also include 3 weekly mounts which include

Ashes of Al'ar 1.96% Chance to drop
Fiery Warhorse's Reins 0.85% Chance to drop
Reins of the Onyxian Drake 1.13% Chance to drop

This day the chance for nothing is (daily mounts) 0.9394 x 0.9804 x 0.9915 x 0.9887 =90.28% chance of nothing dropping - or 9.72% chance of one or more mounts dropping :)

Just got it now after around 4 months of killing Bloodlord Mandokir each & every single day on 3 different tunes! too bad there's no FoS for acquiring the mount :( & for those who are farming it don't lose hope :)

Comment by greg098

I was bored so decided to run ZG to see how easier it was at level 90. This mount dropped on my first kill... I am still in shock...

Based on the data from Jazzycakes2 here is a spreadsheet that will help you know the odds of a mount dropping if you are doing multiple runs and maybe using more than one character to farm them.
Will depress some people and hopefully encourage others!

Comment by KylieM

Picked this up yesterday after 4 days of farming. First time that I've ever seen it drop.

Comment by Fukawa

I finally got this after countless kills, and not too long after, when killing the celestials, in my consolation box contained the Razzashi Hatchling!

Hey Guys,

I created a video guide which shows you how to farm this mount- Here is the link:

Why this mount don`t appear in the dungeon journal, actually still drop?

Comment by Dudash

I must say that I was quite disappointed today when I realized that a patch must've ripped out his vocal cords. The only sounds he makes is when you first mount up. Then he goes mute.

EDIT: Actually I just noticed that it's ALL raptors and is a known issue as stated here.

Comment by creekz

No real valuable information to be found in this comment, just a silly thing that I found amusing.

Razzashi Raptor drop counts as of this comment: 1337 out of 136348

Comment by robbgyver

I have only recently decided to start collecting mounts, farming this and a few other dungeons for the past week or so...

The first day or so when I looked on the dungeon journal, I saw the two mounts (Armored Razzahi Raptor and Swift Zulian Panther) that can drop in Zul'Gurub, then they disappeared! Does anyone know if these have been removed recently?

Comment by Barker1820

YAY! got mine today, 2nd kill.

Comment by mtrippes

Tried to farm it yesterday (first attempt) and got it for my human monk...

Now what to do...

Comment by Troo

As of today the dungeon journal lists the mounts drop from both 5man Normal and 5man Heroic. Hoping to hear some confirmation on if they really drop off of Normal or not in since the pre-expansion patch.

Comment by Drax13

223 kills and counting, here's hoping they 'Baron Riverdare' this mount someday!

Comment by Bloodlus

Here is a video guide with all the goodies in this instance for 6.1 patch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KTa-DmjbZQ

Comment by Mykal

Why is this mount showing up as a drop on normal difficulty in the dungeon journal? I assumed it was a heroic only drop? All the other Cataclysm mounts are listed as dropping on normal too. Surely this is a mistake, excepting the Vitreous Stone Drake.

Comment by Peso

I can confirm this still drops as of patch 6.1.2.

Comment by nSamuraii

Is it still possible to obtain this mount?

Comment by mastablastaa

Got it on my 2nd run. Did not know it was rare until i searched it up here.. NP

Comment by Devilwings75

"Meddlesome insects!"

Comment by Mesd

The old one still looks better than this piece of c14p. Dx

Comment by JBushido

Omg, does this drop anymore?

Comment by Hexic

Got this today while farming for a transmog. Still drops it seems.

Comment by Iamme

Got the one from Priestess awhile ago. This one on the other hand..atleast 100 run on top of what I ran while doing both together...Still doing it, like 10-11 times weekly.

Comment by huggalo

Comment by Telegmo

I just got this on 8/9/15 on my first attempt ever. Really the best luck of any mount I have ever farmed.

Comment by furymask

Just got this 8/16/15, 62nd attempt.

Nice color scheme and better looking than the isle of giants ones for alliance players.

Comment by grafspe806

Been farming this one for years , with 10 or sometimes more toons a day since mid panda expac and have yet to see it :(((

Comment by Maslovic

20150917 finally dropped

Comment by Hammerfel

Can this (or any other rare dungeon mounts, like the Vitreous Stone Drake or the Drake of the North Wind) drop on Normal Mode? It shows up as a ?% drop rate when switching to the Normal Mode loot table.

Comment by Iamme

215 kills..and counting:) Can't see the light.

Comment by marmotgirl

5 alts a day.

Every day.

For a year.

(and that's not counting the previous year when I was only doing it on my main)

No more :D It dropped today. Never give up guys!

Dunno what I'm going to do with the reclaimed hour-a-day of my life :D

Comment by Ethna

Confused -- at level 100 is there some special mechanic I need to know and do to get the mount to drop, or do I just kill him? I never did this instance when it was created, I pre-date it and did it a long time ago when it was a raid. Will the mount drop if I just kill him, or do I have to do something else to trigger the drop?

Comment by esmerelda1rm

I got this mount 5 minutes after midnight on New Year's Eve on my 15th run! Here's hoping the Panther will drop soon as well!

Comment by Gormadok

Definition of a "chance to drop" is relative.

im farming this and 2nd 1 since 2 weeks with my 6 characters. no luck. 14x6=84 times both of them.

edit
finally panther dropped
january - 14th - 2016

i hope it wont take long to get other 1

edit
finally ive got mine.
took me +100 tries - you can skip all your opponents and head toward boss. it will drop or not :]

Comment by Jwillsher

Dropped 2/6/2016. Took me 800+ attempts.

Comment by WorgN6

6 kills total, not counting the couple-hundred Zul'Gurrub runs back when it was current content. I had the panther for years though so I guess it's fair.

Comment by kirklandfood

402 attempts and I finally got it! Never give up! NEVER SURRENDER!

Comment by Addaxx

Just got it this morning. Five runs a day, got it on sixth day. Meanwhile i think I'm the only one left without Ashes.

Comment by MajorMage

Sadly, I currently have only 16 of the 37 mounts on this list :(
But, I have to agree with one thing - never give up...just keep on farming!
