did/u/thekezz shared the recent Wowhead post

The new includes Gryphon/Pterodaxxe mounts for 50,000 gold. With the deflation of WoW lately, even 50000 is a challenge to get.

It's one thing to have mounts like longboy or the 500,000 Argus mount which are unique and cool, but there's no reason for reskins and recolors to be so expensive. It's making mount collecting not worth it and a bother.

second PTR build was published, where the prices increased, to 90,000g

捕获的沼泽追猎者的缰绳
A swamp-dwelling subspecies of pterrordax known to feast on young bloodfeasters.
Vendor: Provisioner Lija
Zone: Nazmir
Faction: Talanji's Expedition - Exalted
Cost: 590000g

Wowhead user ChocoboValentine comments on the news, frustrated at the direction of the prices

I try to stay positive, but man that cost increase to all those mounts is a gut punch. I clicked on this article going "oh good, let's see what the more reasonable updated prices on those mounts is!", and then I had to squint and lean in to squint at my screen reeeeeeeeeal close to double check that I was seeing the correct number of zeroes.

The thing that perplexes me -- in Draenor or Legion, an average player/mount collector would have an OK chance of making enough gold in a reasonable amount of time to buy all of those. In BfA, gold making from the more casual sources has slowed to a dead crawl. I'm an amateur gold making enthusiast, and I haven't even gotten enough yet to get all the frogs, never mind the brutosaur, the expensive direhorn, and some of the other total gold-sink mounts. One or two desperately expensive mounts makes sense for trying to reduce the amount of gold in the game, but putting out mount after mount that is over 50K and 100K results in a great deal of the player population just never being able to buy them.

I understand manufacturing scarcity for mounts -- it adds perceived value and makes players feel like they have something special. Falling back on forcing that scarcity through a simple paywall (whether it be gold or irl money) is just...disappointing. It lacks creativity, and it just looks really greedy and lazy from my end.

How do you feel about starting over with professions in 8.2? Would you prefer to keep what you have now and get different recipes/mechanics to empower your crafted products? Do you have enough gold to buy all of the new vendor mounts in 8.2?A-Z of Gold-making/u/midnighthawkgaming has launched a new YouTube seriescheck out his Zero to One Million challenge series to see these things in practice

Hi guys this is the first episode of a new series I'm doing, it's an a to z of gold making ideas mainly for people new to gold making, always a lot of questions about what can people farm so hopefully this series can help some of the newer goblins out, each episode will consist of a few items and farms beginning with a certain letter starting at A and eventually working our way to Z.

奥术水晶

These are found when mining 瑟银矿石, I believe the highest drop chance is from 富瑟银矿 but all should have a chance of dropping one. Personally I like to do laps around Un'goro Crater. They sell for around 400g each on my server, but I like to then send them onto my alchemist so that I can transmute them into 奥金锭 which sell for around 600-700g each. They also have a chance to proc giving even more profit.

魔化源质锭

深渊水晶

These are created from disenchanting epic drops from Wrath of the Lich King instances which can be used or sold on their own, but I like to use the enchanting spell 深渊碎裂 which allows you to turn 1 Crystal in some 无限之尘 or 强效宇宙精华, usually yielding greater gold potential.

拉法尔·朗罗深渊水晶

极地毛皮

This is a rare drop when skinning beasts in Northrend, and used in lots of Wrath of the Lich King patterns. It sells for around 450g each on my server but may differ on yours, the first and last bosses of Trial of the Crusader seems to drop 1 x Fur and 13 x 北地皮, there is also a vendor outside the Leatherworking shop which you can trade 10 x 厚北地皮 for 1 Fur. It takes 6 x 北地皮 to make 1 x 厚北地皮 using Leatherworking, so you can guarantee 1 Fur every 60 leather you farm, allowing you to keep a nice balance of both on the auction house.

Two other items of note are 锚草 and 精金矿石. Anchor weed is used to make potions and has a rare chance to spawn in place of one of the ground based bfa herbs ( not star moss or siren's pollen) a great farm i used is the vigil hill farm (the route is briefly shown in the video), and the reason i want to mention 精金矿石 is that there is a rare chance for a 氪金矿脉 to spawn in place of the Adamantite which sells for between 500g-650g each on my realm.
