What to do with all this gold you’re making? Try the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth!
Now that the Auction House is settling down after the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, I find that I’m raking in so much gold that it’s hard to spend it all. So to keep my enthusiasm up, I’m setting myself some goals to get my main characters some truly extravagant gifts.
So you thought 5,000 gold or so for a flying mount was expensive? Try the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth on for size. 20,000 gold from the Exotic Mounts vendor in Dalaran… and it doesn’t even fly 🙂
But never mind, it comes instead with 2 fully-stocked NPC vendors on board. So you never have to return to cities and towns to restock, repair or sell off your trash. And when you just want to have some fun, kick the NPC’s off, and invite 2 of your buddies along for a joy ride.
Is it worth the expense? I think so. But then, it only took me about 20 hours to accumulate enough gold to buy this amazing beast.
Watch the video, check out the Mammoth, and let me know what you think… is this the best gold-sink in the game, or what?
This is what i saving up for atm on my shamie healer, then hunter since they are so usfull 😛
I just figured I would mention two things.
1. I got this @ level 72, and it is a HUGE help while leveling. I could sell all my junk to it.
2. You do not get a reputation price decrease on items, like in cities. I.E. The new tailoring thread costs 3g from the mount, and much less from a vendor in a city where you are exalted.
There might not be a reputation price decrease on the items, but in all fairness if you’ve got 20k gold to buy this mount who would care, only an inconvenience towards party and raid members who do not have a lot of gold to spare
