Next up in my quest to flaunt my WoW gold riches: Megkineer’s Chopper!

Megkineer’s Chopper is not quite as useful as the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth I picked up in part one of this series of videos devoted to wasteful, excessive spending in WoW 🙂 But it’s a lot more fun to ride around in the major cities in this sweet mount.

This falls into pretty much the same price range as the Traveler’s Mammoth, typically about 20,000 gold. But since it’s a crafted engineering item, you may find it for a bit less on some servers. Something like get a faction rep discount. For example, on one of my regular servers, I’ve seen a couple of Engineers advertising Choppers for 17,000 gold.

On the server I’m on in this video, though, it’s 20k or go home.

This is by no means gouging on the part of the crafters supplying the mount. The major expense is a set of unique engineering parts that are only available at extreme cost, from an exotic vendor in K3 in Northrend:

Salvaged Iron Golem Parts – 3000g
Goblin-machined Piston x 8 – 1000g each
Elementium-plated Exhaust Pipe (limited supply) – 1500g

So that’s 12,500 gold just for starters. Then you’ve got to get 12 Titansteel Bars, 40 Handfuls of Cobalt Bolts, 2 Arctic Furs… not to mention that your Engineer has to be Exalted with Alliance Vanguard in order to acquire the Schematic. So it adds up.

Is it worth it? Hell yes! Watch the video, check out the Choppa… then go get my Massive Gold Blueprint so you can earn enough gold to get one of these beauties for yourself, lickity-split.
