Grats! :-) About 11k rep to go for me, will get it next dungeon event
then. I should go and farm the outdoors mobs a bit anyway for another
shot at the garrison invasion mounts, still missing 3 of those...
227/250 here. 25k apexis to go for the 150k mount, that'll come fairly
soon...

Hehe I've certainly learned to spot the difference between a group
with a leader and one without :-) My bf plays Ashran a lot so he's
explained a few things to me, which sure helps, he also spent ages
last night protecting me from a reeeaaallly annoying Alliance rogue
who made it his mission to gank healers at every opportunity, we only
had 2 healers, me being one of them, so I was constantly sapped,
stunned, you name it. I hate rogues in pvp :-P Got my first kill on
the boss though (not that I saw the boss; I'd died and had to figure
out how to get back down the map alone without being ganked on the
way... just arrived in time for the credit!), and the quest reward box
kindly gave me an epic head; the one slot I didn't have a decent PVE
item in, great!

I'll have a look at that, thanks - it's a bit confusing when you're
new :-)

Ouch! I've had those mounts for years, actually had 2-3 kodos on
different alts before mounts were accountwide, not sure if droprate
was higher or I was just lucky though. I also have the super-rare slow
ram, only available to people who did Brewfest 2007; MMO-C reckons
under 1% of players have it so cool, that's probably my rarest mount
:-D

2 toys down, and should today get 200 tokens for the pet and the 200
toy on my 2 100s... getting there :-)

>Btw.  150 attempts on the vitreous mount in Stonecore and still counting. :)

Ouch, hopefully it'll drop soon! Mine took somewhere around 108,
forget exactly but I was sick of the place by then ;-)
