One of the many new goals that players have been striving to accomplish in World of Warcraft since Wrath of the Lich King was launched is the acquisition of large sums of mounts – upwards of and beyond 100 different mounts now available and rewarded with achievements. In the past this would have seemed nearly impossible but as the game has made certain restrictions more lax for lower content, developed new ways to get other mounts and now offers a slew of great rewards for certain accomplishments, there are dozens of new options that casual players and hardcore alike may not have had in the past.
The Lower Level Content
In the 3.0.8 patch, Blizzard made it so that players could easily and quickly get many lower end mounts that were not available to them before by opening up all racial mounts to all other players in the same faction. This immediately means that all players will have access to 15 mounts at Level 30 and another 15 mounts at Level 60. Of course, being able to afford that many mounts is a completely different matter altogether.
Higher Level Content
Flying mounts are becoming easier to acquire now as they are cheaper and slightly more available in many ways than they were in the past. Hard to snag reputation mounts are now slightly easier as well as the game slackens up a lot on some of the requirements needed to reach up to the top levels of a reputation – such as in Netherwing Ledge.
Other Options
Additional options now include crafted mounts such as the hogs that Engineers can now create, the slew of new reputation mounts in Northrend such as the various different kinds of mounts in the form of Mammoths. You will also be able to get new mounts from raid bosses like Sartharion and Malygos with different reins dropping from each at the difficulty levels you face off against them.
While there are not exactly 100 different kinds of mounts in the game, there are various types, colors, and speeds of each and there are plenty of options for boosting your mount count. With over 30 available before Level 60, and dozens more available before Level 70, the ability of nearly anyone to go in and build up huge stables of new mounts and pets is becoming more inclusive than anyone ever expected.
