The mount that drops from Deathwing Heroic has a nice special effect. It makes the guy from your guild that wants this mount more than anything else hate you a lot when you randomly get it on your first try.

[@69Cil]

There’s something you forgot about the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth. It used to have health, so you could jump off something very high and instead of you taking damage your mount did instead, meaning you could jump off anything in the game and land safely with the only cost being your mount dying and having to re mount it. This was changed pretty quickly though as it was quite overpowered.

[@Bigol_Jimbo]

You forgot another ability of the Sandstone Drake. It changes your character model. Useful? No, but it means you can use the appearance swap prism from JCing to "steal" the look while in a party. Then you can have a third person in the party who also has sandstone for the second person to take the drake form with. Now that you have two people drake formed, you can do EVERYTHING you can as a player while looking like the mount. Including going indoors, and using growth potions... AND getting in multi-seater mounts. (if you get on a mount though your normal character model overrides it though, once unmounted if still buffed you go back to drake). So... with Sandstone Drake and two friends, you can all growth potion, all use growth items, have two people become drake. Have third person hop on a longboy or a mammoth, then have 2 drakes riding a longboy or mammoth. Once you do that, you can pretty much just run around and get people's reactions. Or you can forego the mounting and just run into a crowded building as a dragon.

[@electr_icity4613]

I remember that crystal thing. Back when I used to play in Legion, one of my friends somehow found a way to steal Sylvanas's appearance, even though we were both Alliance players. I then used Ai-Li's Sky Mirror to copy it, then we just swapped whenever the timer was about to run out. Good times.

[@Xylarxcode]

2:45 'These mounts allow one or two extra people to hop on your mount and allow you to jump off cliffs and kill them.' I instantly got flashbacks to Wotlk, when these mounts were still new. There was a shortlived trend on our servers where people would ask you to hop on their mount while they rode around. They'd take you to the sewers of Dalaran and use the sewer exits to jump off Dalaran while you plunged to your doom. Doesn't work on all classes though. Didn't take long for people to catch on and the trend died out pretty quickly, but I still remember it happening a lot after the first passenger mounts were just released.

[@Sring93]

Xylarxcode super guilty of this. I was playing on my rogue so I had a near zero fall damage. Or how about when they were considered vehicles and took zero damage at all? You could also cast slow fall on them. Had a lot of fun soaring through storm peaks on a motorcycle haha

[@FenrizDK]

When they were completely new, passenger mounts were bugged, so you would SURVIVE the fall with NO DMG taken..... That is where the trend started, quite a thrill for those that didn't know.... However that was never intended and got fixed to much despair. I remember finding out the hard way when i jumped of a cliff at Ravenholdt manor after handing in Ravenholdt rep to get exalted before "The Insane" was even implemented! (Server first on that achi!)

As a druid, raft is amazing. I only knew it when i decided to finally buy the water strider mount. You can basically use your Tiger Dash and get max speed out of the bat, then spam spam space to maintain the speed. I think you can only go up to a certain speed. Also it work while in Stag form, so you can let a friend hop on you while you're on your raft.

Understanding this video was made a while ago but thought I should let people know. The Water Striders no longer walks on water. With the addition of mount armor slots in BoA, they give different abilities to any mount including water walking. However the mount is still worth grabbing. If you are exalted with Anglers Nat Pagel sends you an account bound water walking armor equipment for all your mounts. You have to have obtained the Azure or Crimson Water Strider Mount.

Fun facts: Hunters can also water walk with a water strider pet. Druids in travel form can use the raft and gain full speed with no jumping. Paladins pick up the raft if they use Divine Steed. The XA-1000 Surface Skimmer, while not a mount, is faster than the raft. The Mechano Hog, when first launched, would allow you to take 0 fall damage. Fun for jumping off Dalaran.

The costly 500k gold Rustbolt Resistor you can buy when Exalted with Rustbolt Resistance has the hidden perk that prevents you from getting the flying debuff while on Mechagon, meaning that as long as you don't get too close from the flying sentries, you won't get shot down from the skies.

[@kristiantofte1020]

when u now get the waterstrider u also get a mount equipment thing, giving all mounts on the character having the mount equipment equipped, water walking.

[@sidhebane]

Just a note re: the water strider being the most useful mount, the problem is that if you take even a single point of damage, it turns off the water walking until you dismount and remount. However, the artifact fishing rod can be equipped/swapped even in combat - and still provides the swim speed bonus, even though you don’t actually transform. So you can instantly and without any other condition get 169% in mid combat no matter what mount you have. Not quite as good as the 200 from the strider, but much less fragile and conditional. I use the rod if it’s just small pools - I save using the strider for crossing really big stretches of water (like crossing Boralus bay)

Underwater mounts the easiest would be the subdued as it is cheap on AH, or darkwater sea, again cheap on AH. The water striders are pretty annoying to get, but can be made easy with timewalking. Sky golem does not cost too much, but can still pick a pretty penny. Rest are pretty hard to get I think.

"YOU FORGOT" a few mount categories. (Big Wall of Text Here) Lots of info Bike mounts: Allow jumping in place at all times for precision platforming and they are all considered a low profile mount. Goblin Trikes Mechano Hogs Faction Choppers Heirloom Mount These mounts will allow you to enter nearly any doorway while mounted even while being a large unit class like a tauren. However the lowest profile mount in game is the obsidian nightwing. Shapeshift Mounts: Will use the medium humanoid mount size and allow you to get into smaller places as they do not have a rider, and riders do not increase the mount size. Obsidian Nightwing (lowest profile mount in game as far as I know "smaller then male tauren" model) Sandstone Drake Large Mounts: These mounts allow you to touch the bottom even though multiple "feet" of water (allowing you to have full run speed) Antorian mounts Gronling Mounts Undercity Plague Bat Grumpus Challenger Yetti (these mounts are all very large) but some are considered larger then others as far as mount height. You can also optimize mount size for PVP. Small Mounts able to fit in all doorways Large Mounts allowing you to touch bottom to move at 100% bonus speed through water and jump skips (or allowing you to run along walls in water) ALSO Next level PVP: Hive mind mount (full team battlegrounds and RBG) you can hide all your players within 2 Hivemind mounts making incoming calls appear as "2" but in actuality you have "10" and you get the bonus movement speed (may have been patched) ALSO! Large mounts have a "lower" jump function Small mounts have a "higher" jump function Certain "large" mounts cannot regain waterwalking status if waterwalking breaks while within the water on large character models like tauren. (the mount is too large to reach the waters surface.) If anyone would like to "Theory craft" a few of these for optimization purposes on a race by race size comparison. Toss me a message. As I am also looking to optimize mount sizes for M+ and PvP on each race/class.

The new patch makes the water walking mobs obsolete.

What’s the mount at 15:10 that the DK is sitting on? The blue icy thingy

[@KaboodleMoon]

Is the waveboard toy the same as the raft essentially? (From Island Expedition vendor)

[@WiseBurger]

You forgot the Iron Juggernaut, it kills critters lol

[@bleuoval64]

Or the Meat Wagon, it's a catapult that launches meat!

[@WiseBurger]

@@bleuoval64 True, but i dont know if that technically counts because its just a animation. It doesn't necessarily do anything or interact with the environment? idk the iron juggernaut kills something

[@RazanaArcclaw]

@@WiseBurger the meat also kills critters, but i dont relaly ever see a use for something like this...

[@GrzegorzCzikitaNajtBanach]

in 8,2 this list will require some updates

[@PressA2Die]

I've never played WoW but this video was great, watched all the way through

[@siscokidder]

while not as useful as the Water Strider, i will say that if you have the Underlight Angler, you can remain mounted and use it to increase your underwater movement speed. it is still the normal UA movement speed, but you don't need to dismount and/or remount when entering or exiting water. this also means you can use multi-seater mounts, such as the Sandstone Drake, across water if *they* don't have a strider or water mount. lastly, the UA grants underwater breathing as well, so those annoying world quests that occur underwater, like the Darkshore sunken wreckage one, is made *much* easier... all these come at the stipulation that you need to swap to the fishing pole in order for it to work. classes that use weapons, or otherwise require weapons to use their skills, will be hampered by this restriction. a workaround that i use is to hotbar both the UA and the BiS weapon on the shift+2 action bar, and swap between them when i enter/exit water.

"an easy expense like 50k today" lol 40k is the biggest amount of gold i have ever had

[@Unseen_Hejcior]

Then you're either a very, very cassual player, logging in every now and then just to do a quest or two or ... you are doing something wrong. Only by doing world quests you can earn a nice sum of gold passively + you have always chance to drop some boe item (not worth much these days due to its ilvl). At this point if one play WoW on daily basis, doing whetever, rep grind, wq's or simply dungeons, gold come by very easly and fairly fast.

[@ayyyblyat6229]

lol 40k is just my daily gold earning

[@RanaRandom]

the most expensive mount(s) I ever managed to get are the Coalfist Gronling and Garn Nighthowl (4K gold each :O)

[@happybalint]

@@RanaRandom ikr?

[@Unseen_Hejcior]

@matt fahringer Not once said that there is anything wrong in being a cassual player. Just stated my own opinion on the subject. Please do not confuse the two.

[@Le7emeChat]

Irony: the change with the mount equip only affect the #1 in your list, everything else still apply. Good video.

[@bobobserver8990]

4:33 I feel like either the hivemind being the only mount to allow passengers to mine/herb was changed with 8.2, or you are simply mistaken. Cause back in June I found that my brother's character could mine if he was riding passenger in the Horde blizzcon blimp, the tundra mammoth, and the grand yak and at no point were either of us dismounted. Granted neither of us has flying yet for those characters (all my flying alts are on a different server and I'm trying to stay around his level so we can do the same quests) so maybe 'being able to fly and herb/mine' is what you meant or being able to do it with 4 other people instead of 2. Though I feel like he could still mine from the passenger seat if I landed beside the node.

[@remyllebeau77]

I almost want to start playing again just to get some of these cool mounts. :D

[@xentharas5629]

You made a little mistake with Water Striders at 14:00 You CAN be in combat until you are not hit by anything. Unless that, nice list *thumbs up*

[@TesseraCraft]

I can't believe you forgot about the argent squire mount from the Argent terniment. it may not be a player ridden mount, but it does give access to Banks, and Mail boxes. Even if it has a 4 hour cooldown this mount is vary useful for long farming sessions.

[@jaydeebaby7]

Thats a pet's mount though i wouldn't consider it a mount.

[@ringcat69]

As a druid you can use the raft in travel form and carry someone else as well so you become a 2 person mount that can ride over water.

[@filipposl3128]

Actually thanks for the video because i have the mount from engineering but didn't know that tiped 🙏🙏

[@dorping_Wolf]

BM hunter can waterwalk to... and taming one pet for it, is convenient enough i think.

Fun fact about Druids' Aquatic Form in Vash'jir. They stack so you have around 600% swim speed there. Very fun and I loved swimming around for the Hivemind, since I was on my druid and could go from corner to corner in a matter of like 3 minutes

[@xXDoUbLeDDXx38]

Awesome video!

Or just be druid an combine all benefits in one without pressing two buttons

Umm no druids? druids are mounts with many special abilities fake video

Druids are also the best hunter pets.

[@MrHornyboy2000]

Glad i took the time to get my Underlight Angler now :3

[@avian8714]

I can't seem to get my water strider to walk on water anymore. I did get something from Nat pagle in the mail on all my Alts but maybe got deleted by not being logged in on my main, that allows me to use any mount to walk on water. Think this is why? Or did blizzard make a change?

[@helloween76]

Great video!

[@benjaaguirre1425]

About the tundra traveler mamut... how do you dismount the vendors??

[@lycaneen]

I'm a proud owner of the Hive Mind and i did most of the work for it. Luckily my 5 man group is still all of my friends playing this game. Besides the yellow monocle this mount is really fun to get, i loved the puzzles
