I farmed ZG every week up until Cata launch and never got the tiger. This video reminded me and now I'm pissed

Im now 51 years old. I havent played WoW since before the release of Pandaren, so spring 2013 something. I played the Vanilla first, or me and my son did, and then we bought The Burning Crusade and I was hooked to this game, I LOVED IT! As the old fart I am I loved to play hunter. I tried others but hunter, wow, that was the class for me. I left my last character, a female trollhunter named Looferr lvl 85, standing in Orgrimmar. All purples, great at Dps and with a lot of stuff gathered over the years. I have a nightelf hunter to, my first char, named RodeOrm. He stands in Stormwind at lvl 80 i think. Great times and much fun! And now to the mounts. I have a few of those you counted in your video. The tigers who was a real s.o.b to get as you said. Skinning and leatherwork got them for me. I got the brewfest Ram. I also got the headless horsemans horse and a holiday reindeer, both flymounts. I was lucky with the drop on the reindeer, we all wanted It and i got It. You had to do a holiday dungeon of some sort to get it and It didnt drop that often! I remember one time I was killing regular npc:s outside Booty Bay and I got my hands on my first epic item, a staff I could´nt use so I sold it and got 100G. That was a lot of money back then for my lvl 40 something hunter. That was the most crasy drop i ever got, The Staff of Jordan, It was just from a regular pirate outside Booty Bay! :) www.wowhead.com/item=873/staff-of-jordan Ive got a cold and have been watching your videos for two days now and I get soo tempted to start my account up again! Maybe I will maybe I wont but i sure enjoy your posts here on YT, keep up the good work!

Favourite monotone KZfaq channel!

Swift Zhevra from the Recruit A Friend promotion is one that comes to mind.

I think that, for the trial of the grand crusader 10 man version mounts(swift horde wolf), the mounts were not a reward for tribute to immortality(completing the raid without a single death), but rather tribute to insanity, which only required to finish the raid with 50 attempts left.

I would just like to add that the Amani War Bear was removed with the release of WotLK, long before it was remade into a dungeon.

Idk why I'm here, I don't play nor have ever played WoW in my life.. yet I'm subscribed to you, I guess it because I find your content so enjoyable to watch

sylvanas should be a mount .

The Violet Spellwing can still be obtained! It will go away when BFA launches. Great video!

There is something about you're voice that is so god dam relaxing I just go into a trance lol

13:24 "Kind of rare to see [Kor'kron War Wolf] these days, **since it was so long ago."** Me: Pfft. Mists was, like, yesterday. Me: *sees that this video was posted two years ago* Me: *realizes that Mists was literally like eight years ago* Me: *pikachu face 2x combo*

I remember, the last day you could get the armani war bear, it was MY turn to receive it. But exactly at that run we failed... I never received the mount after helping so many others :/ Damn it!

10:56 I love these horses. I remember the time well, and i really enjoyed this era of he game. Cool mounts, with a cool theme to them.

About the gladiator mounts, when they first came in Burning Crusade then the Gladiator dragons were the only ones with a speed of 310% (Ashes might've had that too, I don't remember well. But the part about the glad drakes I remember very well.).

Boy am I glad to have done season 2 of the brawl pub! I had no idea you couldn’t get the basilisk anymore. It’s pretty cool to know I own an unobtainable mount

Nostalgia and the way this guy's editing conveys that is the best thing about this channel.

Dude, thank you so much. I am a long-time alliance player that had Horde mains at one point. When the Horde won the Chopper I remember loving it, but when I switched back to the Alliance, I never knew you could buy the Alliance Chopper still...so I officially have one as of right now thanks to you! Awesome!

Love the videos, liked before I watched- appreciate you- MadSeason!

I remember getting my core hound. I played during vanilla and remembered every fight in MC. I was a noob back then and I had never led a raid in my life, but I took the wheel during the LFR MC, taking time to explain to everyone what they needed to do from memory (I know it's easy to look at addons and everything). Slowly leading a group of 40 idiots to victory and getting complimented afterwards for the smooth run definitely was a great experience. You could call it a "core" memory hueheuheuheuhe....

Thank you for mentioning the bengal tiger mount. It’s my favorite of all time and I hope they put it in one day!

You would think Scroll of Resurrection would have been more important in WoD and beyond.

I've actually been to tiger cave, I was told there is a vendor there with rare spawn, sat there for weeks until I realised that ain't happening...

Thanks for the new video man!! Keep up the good work!

always great to get a new madseason vid. you just always turn out great quality stuff. keep being you

What about 2017 Blizzcon? Orgrimar interceptor and the skychaser.

Brewfest Kodo was absolutely implemented, I have one.

The choice of music and low tone you speak in is so calming.

All your old school music that you have playing in the background (ff10 Ect) I love so much!!!!

Errors: I forgot about the Blizzcon 2017 mounts: The Stormwind Skychaser(www.wowhead.com/item=151618/stormwind-skychaser) and the Orgrimmar Interceptor(www.wowhead.com/item=151617/orgrimmar-interceptor). They're still technically obtainable since you can buy them through ebay(against tos though). Should have still mentioned them though...my bad! The Violet spellwing is still obtainable until the 14th, so you still have a few more days! In fact, the ahead of the curve mounts were obtainable until the next xpac's launch(not the prepatch like I said in the video) Been doing some mount farming while waiting for BfA. Thought this would make for an interesting video! If I missed any I'll edit this post. BTW, does anyone have any recommendations for a model viewer for WoW? There's one called WoW model viewer, but I've been having trouble with crashes and whatnot. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Got my Swift Zulian Tiger back in 2009 and it's still the only ground mount I use to this day. Wish there was a way to see how many miles I've rode it.

This brought back some of my favorite memories

Awesome, I needed something quality to watch!

Damn these mounts are just as unobtainable as actual companionship

Good job, btw you missed the blizzcon flying mounts from blizzcon 2017 :)

Hello, I've been bingewatching all your videoes for the last couple days, I have to say, you are amazing on making content :) I've myself quit WoW about 2 years ago, played since closed beta. And some of your content really makes me smile, cus of the nostalgia, I really miss the old days.. Ah well :) Keep it up! Will continue to watch your videoes!

A few months ago I encountered a player by several occasions while doing random battlegrounds. He had the Ancient Frostsaber (it does not have stripes, it’s just white with a purple saddle). I had never seen an old epic mount in game before, so I got a bit excited and whispered him. He told me he rarely got asked about it because people just don’t know what is is and the rarity of it. He also told me he believed he and another player from an American server were the only two who still had one (with active accounts). Later on, completely random, I got recommended a video here on KZfaq of a someone selling their account, and it was him. It revealed that he also had the Black Ram, which means he obtained two epic mounts before patch 1.4 and decided not to turn them in. He also had the Corrupted Ashbringer, the AQ mount and a lot of other cool items, like the Icebane Plate-set from Naxxramas 40. Probably the most valuable account to this day.

I'm still mad that I never got the ZG tiger :( Still the best looking mount imo!

im gonna get these mounts when Classic comes out!

Awesome video. Love learning about old mounts

Your videos are awesome and weirdly perfect to have playing in the periphery.

Why am I watching this to torture myself knowing I'll have none of these

can you do a video on rare and unobtainable Titles? thanks

love the ffx music on background

Very helpful will use this video to know how much I wish I got these mounts

The ZG mount removal was the worst. I farmed both of those for so long and never got them. Still farming for the panther now but I really would’ve liked to get that tiger.

2:09 The Ancient Frostsaber is all white and not with stripes, this one is called The Striped Frostsaber.

Love the backround music!

You've done it again my friend....another exceptional video

Thats so sad i never knew the gnome got his green ostrid taken away

There's still WoW: Classic to look forward to for a possible comeback of *some* of these mounts (fingers crossed)!

If I remember correctly the Brewfest Kodo was a rare drop in the mini instance you could run daily in BRD. I just know one of my guild mates had it in BC and I was so jealous. I had the ram, but since bag/bank space was at a premium I eventually deleted it since I never rode it.

The coolest things about these mounts, is how the hell people figured this stuff out without online databases and youtube. You were in awe if you ever saw one of these mounts. They were constantly asked how they did it. I knew a guy who didn't use his because he was spammed by people asking how he got it all the time, LOL. One of those things which made the game feel truly alive and unique. You could only salute those smart enough to figure all this out on their own. It's not possible to compare to todays culture when you can just look something up. If you were lucky enough to know one of these sages with the secret knowledge how to get one of these mounts, you were struck with the INSANE grind involved. It didn't seem feasible. But the madlads did it. Salute

The brewfest kodo is real i am riding on it right now! You are missing a couple of promotional/ recruit a friend once like the Zevra / obsidian Nighwing and Emerald Hippogryph.

17:31 i wish i had this!! Or the core hound.

Great job on the video MadSeason. Keep it up 👌💯

Man your videos are so good they are the best in quality but i love the outro most, its beautiful

Part of me feels a bit of pain to return to this channel, one of the main ones that kept me hooked to WoW. But it keeps a smile on my face to once again hear the glorious Monotone voice of MadSeasonShow. A salute to your Warcraft Legacy my friend, _dawns a Helm of endless rage and a Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros._ see you in the next mmo "KingSeasonShow"

7:44 that's actually incorrect, this is how a CM described it. In-game item for in-game gold = okay Out of game item for out of game currency = okay In-game item for out of game currency = Not permitted Out of game item/service for in-game currency = Not permitted When a TCG Loot Card is obtained, it will have a code printed on the physical card. This code is considered as a real life item, and thus may not be sold for in-game currency as stated in the policy, but it can be bought with out of game currency (money). However, when you want to get the actual item in-game, you will have to redeem the code on the Blizzard Promotion page The page requires you to select a realm to redeem the loot code on. After successfully redeeming a code, you will be provided by another code: the in-game code. Which is allowed to be bought with in-game currency (gold) us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/1922566723?page=1#12

Been playing since vanilla and I've always been horrible at keeping up with anything new-content related. But thanks to your video I got the hippogryph mount from BFA pre-patch mere minutes before the actual BFA release. Thanks!

Great content as always !

7:19 Asmonbalding got one of these this week. Some rich viewer gave him the code.

I'm a mount collector. Why do i torture myself with this?

Dude if I'm thinking about wow at night I put your video on and they put me to sleep. It's like water noises for people with sleep issues lol. Awesome vids btw

Wow I'm surprised that I actually have 2 of these! (well 3 counting the hippogryph/bat) Awesome video as always

Oh wow I thought the primal flamesaber was just a normal promotional mount not a rare one because that was when I got blizzard XD, I played heroes a lot in 2017

Would be cool if they made it so that you could obtain old mounts from wow classic. Would make it worth to play. Now I just feel like I would be literally wasting my time if I played it.

i think you have the most interesting content love the monotone

Brawler mounts remain my favourite. So glad I got them.

MadSeason, you forgot the Stormwind Skychaser and Orgrimmar Interceptor

insane people paying 15k dollars for a mount.

Great video, best part is guitar in intro :D, just love that sound

It's cool knowing all the old racial mounts are unique now, I played from launch until Cata and had em all. Lots of Runecloth turn in I remember

Swift Zullan tiger ...my brother has it he was a classic wow gamer he stopped playing when panadaria came

I have the Brewfest Kodo.... it's called 'Great Brewfest Kodo' and can send you a screenshot if you need proof?

3:20 also don't forget about the weight limit. Cows couldn't ride Raptors or UD mounts because we were so damn heavy. The ZG Raptor mount was the only one we could use during most of vanilla. Think they got rid of the restrictions in the pre BC patch.

These retrospectives are much more enjoyable than the videos focused on more modern content. There are a million people going over the new stuff. There are very few who were both present during the early game, and knowledgeable enough to make enjoyable videos about the early game. More like this MadSeason! You rule.

My scoreboard TL;DR the first one is the only of note. Brewfest Ram. My hunter had just hit 40 and it was brewfest so I figured why not? Amani War Bear. I don't actually have this but I do have a story for it. I bought a carry run that I saved for months for 6000g... which was a lot back then. The carry failed. And it was the last week. Fuck the Guild Avast [who are one of the only Australian top 10 guilds]. Big Blizzard Bear. ARGH!!!! I SHOULD have this... I bought the Blizzcon virtual ticket which came with a code. I never received the code. My friend did. Fuck my friend. Spectral Gryphon/Wyvern. I just re-up'd my old RaF account. Tyrael's Charger. Is my paladin's mount. Kor'Kron War Wolf. I paniced because I didn't know about this. Just checked, I do have it. Few... Pheonix mounts. Bought carries. Chalanger';s War Yeti. Same. Choppers. For the Horde! [note, I don't have the alliance version. But I'm rich now so I'ma go buy it.] Corehound. obvs. Grove Warden. Paid 50k for a carry... Primal Flame Saber . I play a ton of HotS anyway. Violet Spellwing. Paid 10k... not sure why it was cheaper. War of Thorns mounts. Duh.

Someone gave the blizzard bear mount as a gift to asmongold yesterday, crazy how expensive that is

I remember the grind to get my brewfest ram mount the first brewfest. I woke up every day before school and made sure to get a certain amount of tickets per day to get it.

I like the ff music you put in your videos, very chilled :)

I’m a proud owner of the Black Bug!

*Cries in Asmongold*

small correction thou the orginal amani bear was removed start of wrath as a timed run reward, also the ToC mount not only required you to clear it without anyone dying, it also had to be on your first try of the week

I’m gonna miss your videos so much. Your voice is so calming. Love you Mad❤️

I have the brewfest kodo tho...

“One way or another,the alliance always wins”, what are you implying madseason,i am extremely triggered

i did not expect to have some of these ;D

thank god i have 2 of these mounts. great video!

Brewfest Kodo was implemented.

As a black battle tank owner I can tell ya... I get at least 1 whisper message "where can I get this mount!?" in every damn battleground... tzz wow players these days...

Great video. Just some clarification on some infos that were presented wrong. The korkron warwolf was indeed obtainable in SoO Normal, but at the time, the progression were LFR > Flex > Normal > Heroic, then in that prepatch they renamed them for LFR > Normal > Heroic > Mythic, with some added flexibility in the number of players envolved, essentially turning the old "normal" easier, as it was 10 and 25 only. And differently from this prepatch, the korkron warwolf and the feat of strenght could not be obtained. Therefore, Blizzard never raised minimum required for acquiring the final boss mount to Heroic, just renamed it in MoP - WoD Pre-patch

Edit: I love your videos btw

You forgot the Hearthsteed

Guess what? doesn't matter how much mount or thing you own in WoW, in the end Blizzard own everything you have work for and you keep paying them.

Hey! I just began playing again and I you minded me of the spectral gryphon! Also the X-53 touring rocket

Chills from the music.

Removed and unobtainable, two words you never want to hear in an MMO. Exclusive items are one of the worst thing an MMO can do to players.

The alliance always wins. HA that gave me a good giggle. Delusional people.

So many promos I was so lucky to be there for, Just wish I managed to get those ZG mounts before they got changed, same with the zul'aman one

After listening to this for sometime, at some point I couldn't say anymore when I even started listening, and for how long I have been.
