Twenty-one comments on this, complaining about the model, and not a single comment on this?
For shame, WoWhead users.

Kommentar von 169126

Should look alot more like the ghostly gryphon you can ride in EPL if you control the final tower. Otherwise im hoping this is only a placeholder to some new fantastic looking mount, like the awesome look of the DK dreadsteeds.

Kommentar von 177324

do anyone know if we get the basic flying skill with this if not isnt it a bit expensive

Kommentar von 199596

lol cool looking

Kommentar von 70784

They will more than likely keep this model, however it can still be modified a bit to make it more "Death Knight" looking.

Winged Steed of the Ebon Blade

steed –noun
a horse, esp. a high-spirited one.

I'm 90% positive this will be a winged horse.

Confirmed to be a placeholder

The model for the steed has been updated to the one shown here;

Kommentar von 160370

I like the new model MUCH more than the old one

Kommentar von Zitarro

Make this mount obainable in a QUEST! As for the Deathcharger (DK only). Would be great, so we don't have to spend a lot of gold, but do a few instances to get it =)

Kommentar von 160370

It says "Speed Scales to Riding Skill" but doesn't say anything about an Outland/Northrend limitation maybe this means you will be able to ride it in Azeroth just not fly it.

Kommentar von 213223

Am i the only one that thinks its weird DK's have to pay 950g for this mount?
yes its unique for the class, but so is flightform to a druid.
yes it scales with your ride skill, but:
100g for 60% mount + 200g for epic one is still only 300g..

why is this thing so expensive?

Kommentar von 154075

This was changed in late September in beta, the full write up is available at DeathKnight.info (http://deathknight.info/2008/09/the-real-winged-steed/)

but to summarize, the new more "bad-ass" model looks like: (http://deathknight.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/wowscrnshot_092408_182919.jpg) and the older "cooked chicken" model looked like this: (http://deathknight.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/wowscrnshot072908095932bi3.jpg)

As for cost, hopefully it will be adjusted for the Live servers, as 950g on top of the flying skills is very steep, but that is most likely a a dream on my part. Not sure the reason behind the mount being so expensive, though Dragyn's math makes sense, since DKs get the epic riding skill free as the 4th or 5th quest you do, I guess this is one way to balance it back out. <shrug> guess we will see in 4 days.

Kommentar von PocketFox

Unlike the normal flying mounts (specifically the gryphons and wyverns), the cost of this one does scale down depending on your rep with the Knights. Granted, even at exalted it'll still be more expensive than any two gryphons/wyverns, but that's still better than having to pay a flat 1000g like you have to with the Kirin Tor mounts.

Kommentar von 61664

I'm really surprised no one has said anything about it, but how do they think this is supposed to be able to fly?

Kommentar von 108903

The cost doesn't bother me... anyone that makes a DK already has another class high enough they can make the money with.
also you can take your DK to level up ANY gathering profession, and it will be easier than your original character. You will already have epic speed mount, and high enough level the surrounding mobs won't be an issue while your dk is "catching up"

But I am on the fence bout how it looks.

Going to wait until I see some DKs with it, see the run graphics, ect and then decide.

Kommentar von theASCHE360

I love Everything about DKs but this... i dont know, it dont look like the mount of a "evil" guy, i think the DK mount should be something like the Locks Epic mount, something Scary but Cool at the same time, this chiken just look funny =/

They Should At Least update de model with diferent wings :P

Kommentar von 110023

Does this mount look the same with 225 riding skill or does the 300 riding skill make it look different?

Kommentar von Broloth

Here is MY chart on DK and Normal People Mount skills

Normal (skill)
lvl 30 - 35g
lvl 60 - 600g
lvl 70 - 800g
lvl 70 (epic) - 5000g
lvl 77 - 1000g

Death Knight (skill)
lvl 30 - 0g
lvl 60 - 0g
lvl 70 - 800g
lvl 70 (epic) - 5000g
lvl 77 - 1000g

Normal (mount)
lvl 30 - 10g
lvl 60 - 100g
lvl 70 - 100g
lvl 70 (epic) - 200g

DK (mount)
lvl 30 - 0g
lvl 60 - 0g
lvl 70 - 1000g
lvl 70 (epic) - 0g

So your average non-warlock, non-paladin spends approximately 7845g on mounting from level 1 - 80 and your average DK spends about 7000g, so yeah, QQ more Death Knights; and let's not forget that Knights of the Ebon Hold rep effects the price.

Now my question is, if you have 60% flight speed, does it still RUN at 100% speed like the Headless Horseman mount?

Kommentar von Vefantur

As of 11/28 you can mount straight from your Acherus Deathcharger to your Winged steed of the Ebon Blade WITHOUT DISMOUNTING. Don't know if it's a bug, but you can do it. :)

Kommentar von 260483

Speed "scales to skill" so if your skill is 225 then the speed of your mount should be 225% not 60%. This means that when you get your epic mount training 300 then your mount should be 300% speed, but unfortunatly blizzard dose not get that so the mount is stuck being standard speed.

Kommentar von 40338

One question that I have not been able to find the answer for. Does the cost of this mount lower as the rep with the Knights of the Ebon Blade increases? (ie 10% discount at honoured, 15% at revered, and 20% at exalted)

Kommentar von Vefantur

well for example, if you are trying to mount your flying mount and get put into combat you are still on your 100% mount at least. this is VERY useful on pvp servers atm, not that a DK should really be running anyway :)

edit: this is in response to varai's question

Kommentar von Stormwaker

On the WoW forums, people constantly whine and complain about how the mount looks and blah blah blah. I think it looks cool, perhaps if it had some stringy webbing between the wing bones, it would have more of a decaying look (that's the only strange thing I find with it), and perhaps people would be quiet about it.

Kommentar von switch89a

For those who were wondering, this mounts' price does scale with your Knights of the Ebon Blade rep, so it would be 950g at friendly, but if you wait till exalted the mount will only cost you 800g.

Kommentar von tlanwarrior

Whats cool, is you can mount this off your deathcharger. At least in 3.0.3. Dunno if its a bug or not. But it is possible.

Kommentar von smiley900

What is the flying mount on the login screen? I know its not this.

Kommentar von 257782

I think this is the ugliest mount ever. But since I'm a Death Knight, and it scales to my riding, I will get it. Plus "On a Pale Horse" makes me like what? 300% faster? It's awesome.

Kommentar von 291126

Not a steed..more like a chicken.

Kommentar von 221517

u r outa ur mind blizzerd if u think ima buy this when i can go get a reg 1 w/ the skill 4 that much lol im sry im not a farmer i raid

Kommentar von mrbag

well i think blizz made an error with this. IMHO i think this looks horrible blizz should have made a lil more effort than just make a gryphon made of bones i for one do not like it one bit id rather get any other flying mount

I ask that you do not downrate me for giving my opinion

Kommentar von 44612

buy it only if you like the looks

because you'll be spending 650g more if you arent gonna buy regular mount gryphon

Kommentar von 296265

Would it be worth it getting this over the normal Flying Mount for Alliance?
If I have enough for one over the other, which should I chose?

Kommentar von 264371

It's a nice mount, but something is missing from it, which I think is the cherry on the top!

Kommentar von 296636

Can anybody tell me the locations that this flying mount is able to be used? is it outlands and northrend the the normal flying mount?

Kommentar von 290374

It would look much better if there were at least some kind "membrane" in between the wing fingers.

And if you guys say this crazy thing called magic makes it fly, whats the point in the wings if you're just going to "enchant" it to fly. I like wings, not long fingers. O.o

Kommentar von 306862

Thank goodness it is cooler than the taxi version.

Kommentar von 307224

can someone plz tell me if this mount is 280% or 60% speed

Kommentar von 316215

Yeah... it's a sweet mount... i could have had my epic flying by now but buying that has skint me , dont buy it... it doesnt even have feathers... its like it's gonna say when it jumps of a cliff : "wtf... im just falling, where'd my feathers go? " its just pathetic.... it's assive it just floats on its little blue stuff under it its just gonna glide through the air as it falls... It's a waste of time although it has got a bit of armour... so do gryphons

Kommentar von kounteron

give me ONE reason why i should buy this instead of a normal gryphon in shadowmoon valley?
(other than the cooler looks)
because im not rich

Kommentar von supertao

A few people have asked me how this can fly...

Simply put, when the steed flaps it's wings it emits dark energies, propelling itself from the ground and allowing it to stay air born.

Kommentar von 332502

and for god sake, its not a chicken, its a skeletal gryphon, get it right, calling it a chicken is a total noob thing, call it by its name, really

Kommentar von 329433

Personally, I say, "Go ahead, cost all you want!" Because this is the ugliest flying mount besides the flying carpet that I have seen. It looks so dumb and I'd rather just have an armored griffon (With all it's skin and feathers still on it) or a dragon or something.

Kommentar von Rankkor

yuck, honestly, I don't know what the hell was blizz thinking, I know many plp will simply say "if you don't like it, then don't buy it" or just downgrade/purge my comment. but the point is:

I want a DK flight-mount, but not THIS ONE.

no matter what specie it is, riding a frikking skeleton is not cool, unless the bones or most of them are covered by some armor.

that's the reason I never purchased the forsaken 60% mount, cause is an exposed skeleton, at least the 100% mount has a good cool armor to cover up the bones, it has a cool glow and dark energy emanating, and that unholy fire in the hooves.

does the ebon-bone-bird has any of that? nope.

is an ugly skeletal bird no matter how you look at it, sure, they fixed it a little with the armor, and making the beak darker, and the eyes glow in blue and all, it looks better than in beta, but is still lacking.

let's take in consideration, that this mount is more expensive than the regular flight mounts, so the only reason for getting it, is for eye-candy, well that eye-candy must be sweet not sour.

if this is a vanity mount it HAS TO LOOK NICER. a zombie griphon whould had been better, or at least a griphon that has all the effects of the forsaken 100% mount (AKA cool glow, full-sized armor that covers pretty much everything but the head, dark energy emanating form it, and an unholy fire trail when it flies) but this one looks like a rushed incomplete mount.

plp get this mount for the looks, so for christ sake give'em something nicer to look at :S

I like the concept of an exclusive class-mount and I want a nice DK flight mount, and am willing to pay more for it if it looks nice, but if I have to choose from this dirt, and say a netherdrake, a proto-dragon, or one of those drakes that drop from the eye/obsidian sanctum, then I rather go for the dragons.

hopefully in some future patch blizz will please all the DK's out there begging to have a frost wyrm as a mount

Kommentar von 203804

New icon(3.1) tells us: "hai, i ar chicken!"

Kommentar von Vefantur

As of 3.1 they changed the taxi out of Ebon Hold, so if you did not see it before now you can't see the original model of the chicken mount. :(

Kommentar von 352477

Does it still move at 60% while on the ground?

Kommentar von 202814

i absolutely love this mount and i love the fact that it scales with riding skill (ie: gets faster with higher riding skill... dont have to buy an epic flyer)

Kommentar von 145556

I don`t get it.do you get the 5000g training for free?

Kommentar von 225109

Just want to share this.

I just dinged 77, and my rep with Ebon Blade is 'Friendly (5860/6000)'
That's 5% discount, making this mount cost 950G.
So in order for me to use 60% flying mount in Northrend I will have to pay 800G for Expert Riding skill, 1000G for Cold Weather Flying, 950G for the DK mount. (800+1000+950 = 2750G).
Another +5000G for 280% flying. (2750+5000 = 7750G)

Now I'll come up with couple of scenarios.

A. You're the cheapest miser in the world and want to spend the least as possible. You don't care about looks.
Cheap flying mount in Shadowmoon Valley costs 100G.
For 60% flying mount, I will have to pay 100G for the mount, 800G for Expert Riding, 1000G for CWF. (100+800+1000 = 1900G)
For 280% flying mount, I will have to pay 200G for the flying mount in SMV, 5000G for Artisan Riding. (1900+200+5000 = 7100G)

B. You're not as cheap, but you also don't want to pour gold down the drain. You care about looks.
Cheap flying mount in SMV costs 100G.
For 60% flying mount, I will have pay 100G for the mount, 800G for Expert Riding, 1000G for CWF. (100+800+1000 = 1900G)
ⓐYour rep with Ebon Blade is 'Friendly (5% discount)
-----------For 280% DK flying mount, I will have to pay 950G for the mount, 5000G for Artisan Riding. (1900+950+5000 = 7850G)
ⓑYour rep with Ebon Blade is 'Honored (10% dc)'
-----------For 280% DK flying mount, I will have to pay 900G for the mount, 5000G for AR. (1900+900+5000 = 7800G)
ⓒYour rep with Ebon Blade is 'Revered (15% dc)'
-----------(you get the point) 7750G
ⓓYour rep with Ebon Blade is 'Exalted (20% dc)'
-----------7700G

C. You're rich. You have the mentality 'Time is gold'. You also care about looks, unique-ness.
800G for ExpRiding, 1000G for CWF, 5000G for ArtRiding. (800+1000+5000 = 6800G)
ⓐYour rep with EB is....
(Rep discount? screw that? You're rich~!~!~!)
DK flying mount cost 950G (most likely your rep with EB is 'Friendly')
6800+950 = 7750G

Me? I'm more of a type B person. So I'll be using B-ⓓ.

Use 60% Wind Rider mount from 77 to 80, open up Ebon Blade rep in Icecro.....uhhh.....ummm....I should check whether if DK already has EB phase change in Icecrown, as soon as I get my flying mount :P
Anyway... focus questing on Ebon Blade rep, ding 80, buy the Tabard, grind items in Heroic + gain rep with EB, which will cost me 7700G.
50G cheaper then me straight up buying DK flying mount, and also having an extra mount for the achievement.

To other people reading this, you can choose anyway you want according to your taste.
Note that if you plan on learning Artisan Riding skill as soon as you ding 77, my post is useless to you.

This post is about how you can save gold (or don't have the gold) when you plan on using 60% flying mount for some level.
A warning though, 60% is hell a slow, heck of a lot of time spend on traveling. You will realize how slow that is after you become accustomed to 280% mount speed.

Kommentar von afflok

Why don't Warlocks and Paladins get exclusive flying mounts?

Kommentar von VikingIrishman

Not only that, but us Pallies would have to put up with yet another round of "Why the &*!@ are you so special?" from people who think its unfair.

Kommentar von 387847

It costs more than the other flyers cause you dont have to buy the epic flyer

Kommentar von 370864

I've defeated death, embraced a cursed immortality, gave up on the light to come back as a shadow of my former self...
All this to ride a chicken?

Kommentar von christian549

what many of you are forgetting is that if u wait until u are exalted with The ebon blade nabs it costs 800g

Kommentar von 339934

How can this fly when it has no membranes or feathers on its wings? It would just fall down, 3 bones with no skin, membranes or feathers are not wings.

Kommentar von dreadblood

if u like skeletal mounts get this and either an undead epic mount or (if your alliance or just cant be bothered grindin UD rep) rivendare's deathcharger

Kommentar von 284829

worst looking mount in the game, by far.

Kommentar von lootman

odd that the ptr site shows this as still needing lvl 70, yet in ptr it says it needs 60 :P

Kommentar von hordeofone

The mount its self is 1000g
total 7835
With both land mounts and all the land mount training free, becomes 7750g
With swift flying mount free, becomes 7650g
There you go. Thanks to WoW.com for info. YOU GUYS ARE TEH ROXORZ.

Kommentar von chicers

Is the price doing down for patch 3.2 i mean come on if everthing else is going down shouldnt this thing i mean 500g sound resonable to me everthing else is being cut down by about half ne normal price

Kommentar von garymce

As of 3.2 going live, this mount is still 1000g, before Ebon Blade rep discounts.

Personally I'm not too fussed about it, it's just a fun extra, a cash sink for Death Knights.

Kommentar von 441439

Can anyone confirn the prices on this guy, along with the discount (if there are any) prices, for honored, revered, and exalted with the Ebon Blade?

Kommentar von 416030

I wish everyone would stop bagging on the older version, it looked like a gryphon either way, agreed the newer version look a lot cooler. Who came up with "Cooked/Skeletal chicken" anyway?

Kommentar von 389201

Would look much better with something in between the wing bones, even if it was just generic rotting flesh.

until then I'll be unable to think of it as anything other than a flying zombie chicken.

Kommentar von 391247

just a question: swift flight form will go up to 310% if you have a 310% mount, so im wondering if it applies to this mount also?

Kommentar von 405759

Is there a version like this mount only looks like its from the cinamatic... big and better lol?

Kommentar von 467108

I think since this is a dk specific mount, that this should come with cold weather flying so when people get enough money to buy it they dont have to wait a long time to use it. In addition I think the dk specific flying mount should be a frost wyrm.

Kommentar von 331428

what if, it's like the matrix? the lich king really took over the world and turned us all into scourge, we were then frozen down and connected to a giant mashine so that we could live in this absurd reality and thus, never realise what had happened to us. bu then people started to remember, they formed a group called blizzard, and now more and more people are joining to defeat arthasa once and for all so that we could return from this absurd world where you can't whisper to people on the other side of the world, where girls can be fat and guys ugly and where everyone looks the same, with pretty much only three races.

Kommentar von 441551

this mount doesn't seems it's hard to get all what you need is be a death knight and go to the ebon hold in eastern plaguelands.... im not sure but i think that's the way because i didn't play as death knight before but maybe you will have problems with passing scarlet area which is (Tyr's Hand) all are elites there

Kommentar von 466641

Confirmed by myself that (as the tool tip says classes:Death Knight.) it cant be used by a mage. Bought it today, dont ask me how i got up, no hacks just slow fall :D. still waste of 950g (friendly with ebon).

Kommentar von ellmo

Why would people want to spend their precius time and try to get it on other classes, when it has Classes: Death Knight written right there. You think this is some kind of a typo? Or that you can ride it, as long as the GM won't notice? And even if they do you can get away with a warning?

It's a computer program and they don't overlook things.

Kommentar von Zig15

Does this mount go down with rep?

Kommentar von 242741

it is a litle expensive but it is great!

Kommentar von Armonis

I wish they'd made it look a bit more like the DK land mount.

You know, a little more meat on the bones.

Kommentar von 329758

I will remind death knights now. YOU CAN BUY THE REGULAR FLYING MOUNT IN HONOR HOLD OR THRALLMAR FOR THAT EPIC CHEAP 45G.

Kommentar von centaur

is this an epic mount, or a normal mount only?

Kommentar von whitedragon254

You can still see the original flying chicken via glitch or timing in the DK starter area. Look for the necromancers reanimating gryphon corpses, and sometimes the gryphons will fly down from really high up to aid the ghouls when they are attacking the entrances to New Avalon.

Kommentar von 402725

Green Proto-Drake is the same mount speed as the flying undead chicken...

Kommentar von ZanathKariashi

I bought mine awhile back, but I do feel they should lower the price and include 225 training as part of learning the mount. It's a class exclusive that is a retarded money sink for what it does....sure it upgrades to 310% ONCE you acquire at least 1 other 310...but it still looks stupid as hell....I remade my DK and I'm not even gonna bother with this PoS...just gonna get the frostwyrm from ICC achievements.

Kommentar von 315859

Looks better with the armour on, but the skeletal wings bother me somewhat. I think they should have left the feathers on the wings, because no matter how much I try to convince myself it's just a game and weirder things happen, I can't shake off the impression this thing should not be able to fly.

IMO, a MUCH better choice would have been the Ghost Gryphon of the Plaguelands.

Kommentar von TheBaldGuy

Ok, despite the fact that claiming an undead bird flapping it's wings to fly in a world filled with magic "doesn't make sense" is itself nonsensical, it does make sense. It is an undead bird. In the world Blizzard created, it follows the rules. How? Undead creatures retain some aspect of the former life. Living Gryphons flap their wings. That is instinct. That is how they fly. An undead one lacks the intelligence to know it doesn't need to flap it's wings. So it does.

Then again, magic in Blizzard involves some physical action (aka somatic component). Thus, it is also possible that in the world Blizzard created their rules state that magical things need to flap their wings to fly. This too makes sense in the context of the world it is in.

"Making sense" is basically saying something fits the context. Given the context and undead bird flapping it's wingbones to fly, magic or not, makes sense.

Kommentar von kkaman

for a lvl 60 to have this mount i think is just amazing, i got it at level 78 and still use it now im 80, it looks so awsome and my advice to people who can afford this mount and are thinking, shall i get this or stick with my normal everyday gryphon, get this!

Kommentar von 563876

Would anyone be able to tell me what the "speed scale for riding skill" is.

Kommentar von dreadblood

I think (and this is just a random theory, believe it or dont, your choice) that the blue stuff u see in it, unholy energy or w/e is what allows it to fly

Kommentar von 543619

Because that would be boring, seeing some torpedo like structure flying through the air with a Death Knight on the top

Kommentar von 461905

I just got it on my level 60 Blood Elf Dk and im very happy with what i paid for i think its a good way to show off your money if you have a main.

Kommentar von 620007

Itd be sick if they just took off the wings and made it a ground mount. Itd also be sick if stuff like expert and artisan riding also affected the ground mount form. A 280% ground mount, usable in Azeroth would be my dream for this game.

Kommentar von 442279

After testing today it appears this mount does not scale to 310% (310% mount obtained and compared to was Violet Proto-Drake).

Kommentar von 624796

have you ever noticed that this steed gives off sparkles when you ride it? They're very faint but they're there.

Kommentar von Baurge

anyone else noticed that it doesn't make any sound when you're on the ground, no footsteps what so ever, even in snow it doesn't even make the snow crushing sound

Kommentar von Kyurig

What I really dont understand is why blizzard bothered with the whole speed scales with your skill thing. At the cost of 1000g before discounts noone is ever going to buy this before spending the 5000g on 300 lvl flying training are they?

Kommentar von mavliek

I love this mount got it 1 year ago and no matter what flying mount I get, i still use it as my main flyer in northrend/outland and soon old world...no other class gets their own ground AND flying mount. Its a must have for a death knight imho, the gold cost is nothing at lvl 80.<3 DK's and this mount :P

Kommentar von 663132

This flyin mount is great beacause once u have it u dont have to buy new flyin mounts when u buy higher flyin skills and it looks so damn awesome

Kommentar von 540938

If I will learn Master Riding, in what speed will this mount fly? Still 280% or 310%?

Kommentar von Passthecream

Just bought this for my warlock. :)
I can't use it, but it's a cool item to have, since the only vendor who sells it is located in Acherus: The Ebon Hold, which takes some effort to reach. :)

Kommentar von 82881

When the shattering occurred, your character was teleported to a graveyard in the zone you last logged out at. My (at the time) 56 warrior, was in EPL before the shattering, and she appeared in Acherus upon login. I saw the mount for sale but it said Class: Death Knight so I didn't bother with it. However, my presence sure as hell confused a bunch of DKs in the area lol

Kommentar von LuckyGhoul

I saw a shaman in Acherus before the shattering.. People find glitches, this is nothing new. It's why there were Realm First max level cooks within seconds of Cata going live.

Kommentar von Arranja

so... i payed 950g for it and is the only flying mount that cant be cast while swimming on the surface? bah! for that ammount i should at least be able to get it wet!

Kommentar von CAXAPrus

As of patch 4.2, this mount can not be summoned in non-flyable areas, its not universal, like horde wind riders became after 4.2.

Kommentar von 853044

I'm just glad our favorite class has the only class-specific flying mount in the game. Hands down.

Does anyone know why we can't use these in Battlegrounds like the regular gryphons/winged guardian/hippogryphs?

Just Wondering, because I'm bored of my bear :P

why is no one mad that you can't use it in battle grounds, or in eastern kingdoms if you don't have cataclysm.

I love this mount

Kommentar von 783006

Should be noted that unlike other flying mounts this one cannot be mounted during BG's, dungeons, raids, etc. Not sure why.

Kommentar von ktran0733

I'm just glad everyone commenting about this mount is calling it "the chicken." I mean, it totally is; but it's just making me laugh pretty hard =D

Kommentar von ibroadfo

As of 5.0.4, this is no longer flying-only; works in bgs, DMF and presumably everywhere else. Drakes still don't work, so it seems to have been this mount only that changed.

ETA: this also now works underwater.

This mount is not account-wide. This means you cannot purchase one on a DK and use it on your other DK's. You must obtain it for every DK.

Kommentar von urfurf

If you're not a goblin DK, you may be interested with spending some JP and buying badges (Belobigungsabzeichen der Schwarzen Klinge) to boost your Ebon Blade rep. This mount costs 200g less when exalted with the faction (1000g minus 20 percent = 800g).

However, you want to consider the fact that Justice Points are (more of less) valuable. You can do many different things with JP. Depending on how good you are at making gold, a discount of 200g may or may not be something you want to spend 1200 JP on.

(Why 1200? 39000 rep (from Friendly to Exalted) / 520 per badge = 75 badges, and 75 * 16 JP = 1200 JP. Humans get more rep from the badges because of their racial ability, reportedly.)

Does anyone know if this mount as well as the Deathcharger land mount count towards the global meta achieve for 150 mounts for toons that are NOT DK?

Kommentar von james44776

This mount's cast time is not affected by Ölbaron, so try to avoid using this for quick getaways. You have been warned!
Also, I've already submitted the bug to Blizzard.

Kommentar von dashfiss

Not the best looking mount, BUT... It's DK exclusive, it's neat and it works everywhere.

I wanted a proto drake for ages and when I finally got one I used it for 2 weeks until i went back to this on my DK and the Horseman's mount on the other chars. Flapping wings covering half the screen? No thanks, neat forever ;)

Kommentar von Downlin

Undead males cant ride this correctly
they sit behind the sadel
looks weird :P

Kommentar von 1083582

the Geflügelter Greif der Schwarzen Klinge mount are very nice its the same that you use to exit the ebon hold when you finish the quest chain
when you ave finished the quest chain the price of this are 900 gold very low price for a mount of this chape and speed
this mount are excusive to death knight you can not buy it or use it on mage or druid

Kommentar von Flatspriest

Though the tooltip states that this mount is account wide on the wowhead site, the mount is in fact, character specific. This has been tested in-game with multiple players helping with the test and even having multiple DK's on the same account, they were not able to use the mount unless the specific character had the training and purchased the mount as well.

Kommentar von Hornhide

Irritating!

Unlike other mounts this one does not transfer to other characters, even if it's another Deathknight!

Kommentar von 995432

cant believe i payed 950 gold on a dead chicken

Kommentar von FightingHorse

Just so everyone knows this mount is NOT ACCOUNT WIDE. It is bound to the person who uses it. So its a 950 G mount only available to the DK class that is bound to one character. Hopefully in the future they will fix this.

Kommentar von iioburrito

This mount did NOT count towards my Reittieraufmarsch... so irritating to get these last few

Kommentar von 1170504

Interesting fact, this is the only mount you can currently use while shape-shifted into a skeleton.

Kommentar von Eladria

Just boosted my Death Knight to level 90 with WoD pre-order and received this as part of the package. :)

Kommentar von 1241123

I'd personally love to see the Winged Steed of the Ebon Blade be an exalted item that my other characters(toons) can attempt to win - Not trying to sound rude, but my little female pally would look pretty cool on this thing!

Kommentar von Utena

The post-6.0 flavor text, "Dead or alive, you're coming with me." is a reference to Officer Alex Murphy, aka Robocop.

Kommentar von Damonra

This mount is NOT account-bound. :(

Kommentar von Necrolyte

Cannot currently be added to favorites, much as Acherus Deathcharger. So it's not very convenient to use this mount along with other favorite mounts - you'll have to make a macro.

Kommentar von 1433473

I got a character boost to level 90 and I used it on my DK and when I logged in I had this mount even though I didnt buy it from a vender or anything, is this supposed to happen?

Kommentar von frmorrison

This mount does not count towards the "mountain of mounts" achievement on non-DK characters.

However, in patch 7.1.5 it should count account-wide.

Kommentar von Zydeco2229

For those who had trouble locating the vendor in Legion, this mount is sold by Quartermaster Ozorg in the Heart of Acherus. He is the large abomination on your left when you enter. The mount costs 1000g and as was said below, is unique to the character that purchases it.
Still lost - Go through your death gate to get to Ebon Hold, then through the pink transport to get to the Heart of Acherus.

Kommentar von Archanos

DEATH FROM ABOVE! :D SSTill not as cool as a Frost Wyrm though

Kommentar von Bursi

Is account-wide now.

Kommentar von KryzM

Not sure when this happened, but you can no longer buy this with the goblin racial. I barely touched my DKs, but I wanted to get one more mount for the achievement.

Then I demo'd a goblin one, went to Acherus, and got rekt.
