Woot!! Flying Mount!!

Today morning saw me earning 400 something gold out of auctions, which made my total 1211G. I needed 900 for the flying mount so off I went to wildhammer stronghold.

The thing with rare gryphons is that you have only 3 options. The Golden Gryphon looks like the public transport gryphon... so no one really buys it. Everyone buys the really cute looking "Snowy Gryphon", which is why I didn't want to buy that. So I got the "Ebon Gryphon" :D

Happy with my purchase, I went off to the Shatari-Skyguard base in Sethkyl Mountains. Remember this can only be reached with a flying mount. I started on the quests and hit my first problem with flying mounts. Not a problem really just something to be wary of.

My machine keeps hanging occasionally for some unknown reason while playing these days. I got the symptoms of this happening and was looking for a good place to wait till the game came back to life. In a hurry, I thought just hovering high in the air would be a nice idea :D

Firstly, I got attacked in the air by the birds flying around. Now that's fair. I had even read about that on some site. But the funny thing is I died in mid-air and I could get to my body from the graveyard coz my body was too high up in the air!!!

So be careful about dying in mid air. I can almost imagine someone dueling me, killing me and then dying in mid air due to one of my DOTs!!! That WOULD be fun :)
