Is this that mount that looks like an orange Raven Lord?

Edit

Maybe something like this? http://media.mmo-champion.com/images/news/2013/january/ThunderIsleYoungBird.jpg

Comment by EntropicFlame

The name of the icon is ''achievement_boss_ji-kun''.

Personally I think this is the new raven lord-style mount or the new pheonix style mount if you look close into the icon and compare it to the model.

Comment by Stok3d

One of 14x Mounts so far coming with 5.2.

What I find interesting is that it requires Exalted The August Celestials as does the new Reins of the Thundering Cobalt Cloud Serpent which is a World Boss drop. Click the icon: what does the name "achievement_boss_ji-kun" tell you?

Ji-Kun seems to be going for an archaeopteryx theme, being an ancient-looking, semi-terrestrial bird, but its appearance draws heavily from Bearded Vultures.

Comment by tmptfate

Rare drop from the boss Ji-Kun, dropped last night for our raid. Very low drop rate obviously but, oddly, the mount is NOT listed in the bosses loot table in the dungeon journal for some reason. Screenshot submitted with what it looks like.

edit: fail at spelling

Comment by eDGe87

Shares the same skeleton as the pandaren phoenix you get from completing all challenge modes on silver.

Similar to how the proto drakes and fire hawks share skeleton.

Comment by AshiBashi

Can this mount drop from LFR at all?

Comment by TheWheatOne

I'm assuming this will never drop in LFR. In other words, unless you're a super power-raider who does ToT every week all year, or are just one lucky MF, expect to farm for this after MoP has passed.

Comment by achievvhore

Dropped today for us too.. I've seen it around our server a lot ? Seems like it's not as rare as the Elegon mount or its just RNG

Comment by spex4wild

Just looted this 15 minutes ago, it dropped along with 1 conq token and 1 lether belt.

Comment by Zephytoth

I wonder if this is able to be looted with the Mogu coin..

Comment by vindurza

the model has been updated since the beta it appears to have gained head armor

Comment by Queenofdruids

I'm wondering if this mount is like the one from Horridon? And one of my friends told me all mounts and pets from the newest raids drops on all modes. Could anyone ensure that?

Comment by Malvenue

Dropped on 10m Normal last night. The mount matches Ji-Kun or one of her children.

The /mountspecial (when performed on the ground) is the mount arching its head back and opening its mouth like it's catching the food from the boss encounter.

Comment by sillysauce

Just saw this tonight off normal 10man Ji-kun. It dropped off the boss and not a coin for my raid team. As previously stated it has the same skeleton as the challenge mode mounts and sounds exactly the same as well.

On a side note, finally some raid leader love. I won this beast of a mount with an 87 and half the team rolling in the 80s.

Comment by Lewis4641

I received this mount yesterday on our weekly Ji-Kun 10HC kill, like other boss drop mounts it drops separately with the loot, not in place of one piece of loot, it will not drop on LFR, however it can drop on either 10N, 10HC, 25N and 25HC.

It dropped alongside Featherflight Belt and Leggings of the Crackling Conqueror. As has been stated in other comments it follows the same skeleton as the Challenge Conqueror: Silver mounts as can be seen here:

Reins of the Crimson Pandaren Phoenix
Reins of the Ashen Pandaren Phoenix
Reins of the Emerald Pandaren Phoenix
Reins of the Violet Pandaren Phoenix

Also to confirm, this mount can ONLY be used in zones where flying is enabled, it cannot be used as a ground mount in the Isle of Thunder for example, however it is considered a hybrid mount and the mount can be used while submerged in water (with no speed increase) but it cannot be used if flying in the area is disabled, though the icon shown on an action bar will light up to indicate you can.

Comment by baaboo

Has anyone seen this drop from bonus roll from Mogu Rune, or is this strictly a normal drop only?

Comment by litchking67

like it it looks so cool

Comment by Alzeimexia

This item will NOT drop in LFR. You will need to do this boss on either heroic or normal modes for it to drop.

Comment by Chlorure

Since WoD, Horridon and Ji-Kun are now listed as loot in the Dungeon Journal. That means, they might be able to be obtainable with a bonus roll.

This still needs to be confirmed but it is worth a try.

Comment by Everliving14

Ji-Kun can be soloed by death knights, druids, monks, and warlocks at level 90. I'm not aware of what's going on with level 100 soloing for most classes as of the current moment, but it will likely be possible for other classes as well.

A couple of tips:

- Do all of the lower nests. Try to grab as many Primal Nutrient buffs as you can.
- Clear the larger birds that fly directly above Ji-Kun with a feather.
- You can drop stacks of Talon Rake by leaving melee range (all she does is spam Quills, which can be outhealed at 90 and even more easily at 100).
- The green pools from Feed Young will land on your position, so use that to your advantage.
