This is a really cool way to do secrets but just on a user-friendly note for WOWHEAD specifically, having to click through 4 separate articles to get to where this starts is an INSANE user experience. Maybe put in the last article the link to the first instead of IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THIS MOUNT YOU NEED TO UNLOCK CRAFTING (CLICK HERE), then on the unlock crafting page it says IN ORDER TO UNLOCK CRAFTING YOU NEED TO UNLOCK NAXX SECRETS (CLICK HERE) and then on the Naxx Secrets page it says IN ORDER TO UNLOCK NAXX SECRETS YOU NEED TO HAVE OLD SCHOLO UNLOCKED (CLICK HERE). I'm thinking it's a money thing, because you get paid per page click, but it still sucks as a user. Anyway.
I didn't see this clear in any of the tutorials. Once you have unlocked the portal to Old Nax, it is unlocked on all of your toons. No need for the other toons to equip the Argent Dawn Commision to collect Scourgestones.
Confirming that you can get Valiance in a group if you both do it at the same time
I'm probably not gonna grind out any of these crusty items but I'm glad other players enjoy grinding for the crust! Enjoy :)
Just did this all for the first time and there was no apple on the vendor.
The raid unlocks are account wide, and I'm pretty sure the old scholomance is account wide too due to it being an achievement. Beware though that this does take a bit of time to setup, and you'll need at least 3-4 alts to be able to get the mount in a week given how much you have to clear to unlock the vendor. Along with farming enough scourge stones, for reference each boss drops one corruptor's scourge stone which has a 1-1 exchange rate for death's bargaining chips, with invaders scourge stones dropping from the dungeon bosses and exchange at a 10-1 rate. The dungeon bosses however can be infinitely farmed on normal for stones, the raid bosses can't, but of course you have to down one boss to gain one chip so it takes much longer to get what you need from the dungeon bosses for the mount.EDIT; One major thing to note is that if you bought and used the apple, then it account wide unlocks the ability to obtain the mount. I used the apple incorrectly last week on the 25 man version, and thought that I would have to regrind the stones again which wasn't true. Once you use it on any difficulty all you have to do is MC the add on the 10 man version and it works, so don't fret if you don't see the apple on the vendor or used it on the incorrect difficulty, it means all you have to do now is MC the add and get the mount!
Just picked this up after farming the 30 corrupted stones across 3 alts and going to Razuvius on the third to get the mount. I'll probably do most of the same for the t3. Just need bracers and belt at this point.
EDIT 05/11/2023: This has now been fixed.As of 04/11/2023 the link to the Secret Finding discord in this article seems to be incorrect - it directs to another discord that might contain adult content by the looks of it. Screenshot for proof: https://imgur.com/a/WA5bIXI.Already reported to actual WoW Secret Finding discord staff as well.
I got impatient and just right clicked the control crystal at the start, got the add to Valiance, he mounted it, then got killed by Instructor Razuvious. Got concerned that would screw it up, but no, I killed him and got the mount. He seemed to have been slowed down and took WAY MORE damage when he got on the horse, but it still worked just fine.
