Last night was a big night for me. For starters, I finally finished up the last of my holiday achievements (Midsummer Festival) and earning the achievement "What a Long, Strange Trip it's been". Oh, and that achievement came with a beautiful, shiny violet proto-drake.
Which now put me up to 99 mounts, and I knew if I just got one more I'd get the achievement "Mountain O' Mounts". I'd been doing the argent crusade dailies to get all the mounts, but I realized this would take several weeks. 5 mounts at 100 champion's seals each, and I can only earn ~15 seals a day doing all the dailies. It's a long-term goal. But I wanted another mount NOW!
So I went and dropped 15k gold on a mechano-hog. It put me below 100k (NOOOO) but man, this thing is sweet! It's so much more badass than the goblin trike, and it does this awesome bounce animation when you jump on it. AND it has a side-car! I gave some lowbie friends a ride in it and they loved it!
Getting the mechano-hog put me up to 100 mounts, which awarded the achievement and as a reward, the red dragonhawk mount as well. While it's a pretty mount to look at, I hate actually flying on the dragonhawk. It does this bizarre up-and-down motion that gives me a headache.
Anyways, all this achieving actually put me on top of the achievement point leaderboard in our guild! I'm kind of amazed that I'm the nerdiest person out of an entire guild full of nerdy people...I'm not sure if I like it at the top.
