Yes, I finally hit level 60 and with it the possibility to purchase my new level 60 mount, the Great Elekk. Apart of the fact that it looks even cooler than my old one (yes that is possible :P) it also gives me a 100% speed boost instead of the 60% boost from all level 40 mounts. First I’m gonna show you an overview of the other level 60 mounts. After that you’ll see me hitting level 60 and getting my new mount, a Great Green Elekk.
Blood Elf – Hawkstrider
Dwarf – Ram
Gnome – Mechanostrider
Human – Horse
Night Elf – Nightsaber
Orc – Wolf
Paladin – Mount
Tauren – Kodo
Troll – Raptor
Undead – Skeletal Horse
Warlock – Mount
And finally the video about the Great Green Elekk. By the way: no comments about the song… I loved them when I was a teenager :P!

Gratulation,
even if I don’t like elekks 😉

What you don’t like Elekks?! Out of my blog :P!!!
To be totally honest, my favorite mount is the Ram.
I even have enough reputation to buy one but unfortunately the mighty and big Draenei look pretty lost on the back of a Ram ;-). Therefore the next best choice on the alliance side is the Elekk in my opinion.
Kodos are cool too by the way… but obviously horde side.

I love Roxette!!
Anyway, for my Human Mage I still use my Alterac Valley Battle Charger (Ram), which I obtained in the good ol’ AV Times, with 40 Player Horde Premade Groups as opponents, lots of Quests (e.g. the big Troll in the middle of the field), goblin shredders and some epic fighting – ahhh, I miss these days ;-p

Good ol’ days… miss them too 🙂
I must admit, Elekks aren’t that bad, ’cause you reminded me of Kodos. I REALLY don’t like them, because of their walking animation. They are just scaled bigger and got short leg, thus the animation looks too fast. You know what I mean 🙂

Well, I admit that I had to smile a bit when I first saw my new Elekk “gliding” over the landscape at a 100% speed boost… looks a bit strange indeed :-).
But there’s no doubt that the ugliest mount in WoW is the Blood Elf Hawkstrider.
Which is a shame because my alt is most likely gonna be a Blood Elf Priest ;-).

You mean the Chocobo? ^^
I really do like the special Bird Mount from the Epic Druid Quest, unfortunately I never got the chance to obtain one 😦

u left out the flying mounts
warcraftonline said
Thanks for your comment but in the beginning I actually left out the flying mounts on purpose.
With this blog I originally wanted to give new information according to the progress of my character, Hekthor.
But now I’ve got a flying mount and still didn’t add them here :-). So I’ll add them as soon as possible… thanks for the heads-up!
