At the start of my grind I had some amount of optimism, never had too much problem with grinding pets and such before, what's a few pirates after all? A few months later and no parrot, not only was I going insane but my insanity became almost infamous amongst friends and guildies, recently found it for 3000g on the neutral auction house, when I saw it sell for 15k in trade the other day, I can't actually describe how happy I was. To get such a good deal after that much farming? Nice. My latest one is the tiger mount in ZG, wish me luck!

Sadly, the Anzu run is just something that I tend to forget about from time to time, and I haven't done one in a long while. I'm tempted to try it on my Tauren druid... but I think I'd be angry, actually, if I got it on Fujimoo when I've been trying so long on Fujiiro without success. On the other hand, there was the Violet Proto-Drake. I know some people don't think that's in quite the same category as it's obviously easier to obtain, in a certain sense. (There is RNG involved in some of the achievements, but the RNG is much more favorable than that of a random mount drop w/ a 0.1% drop rate, or whatever.)

I can't even describe to you how many times I ran heroic Steamvaults on my hunter to get it. I even kept going when I was deep into raid purples, just to have the damned thing done.
