Gestern waren ein Druide (keine Ahnung wie lange er es schon versucht hat) und ich (Def-Krieger) zusammen in den Sethekhallen und das Rabenmount ist tatsächlich gedropt. Da er der Druide war habe ich gepasst - er hat sich einen Ast gefreut :D
Jetzt werden wir nochmal solange reingehen bis ich es auch bekommen...

Kurzinfos:
1. Es dropt immer noch (siehe oben)
2. Anzu kann nur von einem Druiden der Mit Essenz erfüllter Mondstein hat beschworen werden
3. Die Instanz muss heroisch sein, also man kann sie nur einmal am Tag machen
4. für 2 80er ist alles keine Herausforderung... einfach alles umhauen

Now all you need is Ashes of Al'ar.

And not on a private server!

This dropped for the first time I ran Heroic Sethekk Halls.

I was doing the epic flight form quest and I was so excited when it dropped, however a mage got it (he never logs on anymore) and my quest was bugged so I didn't get credit for the kill. Turned out to be the most memorable useless instance run I've ever done :)

Kommentar von Wakako

Does it spawn only for people who have the epic flight form quest like the t.5 bosses did?

Kommentar von 58227

Fancy as it looks, this mount can give players a headache as characters bounce repeatedly up and down while riding it - even more so than the raptor mounts.

Kommentar von BoBoTheHippo

I've heard you need exalted reputation with Lower City and this needs to be a Heroic run.

Is this right?

Kommentar von Warlem

So let me get this straight...
If I were a druid and did this quest...could i summon him more than 1 time or do i have to have another druid do it for me?

Kommentar von Kolenzo

In patch 2.3, some pretty cool sound effects were added to this mount (previously, /mount special and landing impacts etc did not have sound effects on the raven lord).

Kommentar von saviorself

Tried added a screenshot of me on this mount in shadowform - looks pretty interesting. I managed to grab this mount the first and only time i ran heroic seth halls - i guess that makes me lucky :P

Kommentar von haloman800

I just won this in my 1st heroic sethekk halls run... i won the fishing tournament that morning so i dident have any joy left to yell so all i cound do is shake... its awsome, it makes a schreeching noice wen u press spacebar.. its so cool, if i could pick any other rare mount id still keep this. exept maybe that rare mount from AQ from a long time ago.... well its totaly worth running over and over if ur that determend, just make sure there's no ninja's in ur party

Kommentar von haloman800

no.... you just need friends or guild members to go with you... everyone pass and then roll is what we did and that way no one could ninja it, someone could of greeded or needed but we had honor...... and also the sounds Kolenzo was talking about are awsome.. when you mount up it sounds like a mechanostrider and when you press spacebar or type /mountspecial he makes this loud schreeching noice, also this mount is 2 times bigger than a normal one.. this might be becuase im a gnome and gnomes have bigger mounts than normal but if u /kiss mojo the frog while on this mound you will be 4 times bigger.. and if you drink Winterfall Firewater you will be 6 times bigger! here is the link to the water https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=12820 and this one for mojo https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=33993

Kommentar von Random0214

Hmm, dosen't it kinda strike you as funny that of the 11 pictures, there is onyl one druid with the mount? The guy that had to go through all the trouble getting the item to summon Anzu didn't even get it most of the time....

Kommentar von alanthiana

I have this mount. It dismounts crossing the water in Undercity. It makes me sad.

Kommentar von decibal

Yes, it does have to be heroic.

Kommentar von 117977

the mount is so cute tho >_<

Kommentar von 17792

File this under coolest mount people will never get.

Kommentar von haloman800

there is only 2 on alliance side of my server (me and a female gnome) and a tauren male on horde side that has it.. its pretty rare but not the rarest mount in game

Kommentar von haloman800

The possible drop for the mount isent common... the only reason its on the front row is because this boss dosent drop any trash items, the drop rate is 0.8% or 23 out of 2860 if it hasent changed lately - Golgothaa of Anentheron, one lucky gnome who got the mount.

EDIT: this mount looks exacly like Anzu the Raven Lord himself

Kommentar von Yodhrin

This mount dropped for my group today on Mal'Ganis! Unfortunately I was not lucky enough on the rolls to win it. I had offered everyone 450g each to pass on it and not a single person wanted to pass. I don't blame them! This mount is truly amazing.

Good luck to all of you who try to win it.

Kommentar von 78724

I have literally farmed Sethekk fives days a week since last summer for this mount and it has yet to drop. I am disappointed to say the least.

Kommentar von 133778

This mount+tauren+Fire water+giant growth potion= DAMN!

Kommentar von fiskebulle

Watch out if you happen to get this mount, it has a tendency to make, atleast me, quite sea-sick.

Kommentar von 156964

ok i don't get it, i thought you could ony get the raven when you were doing the epic flight form quest, can you do it during and after.....can someone please tell me?????

Kommentar von 145751

i got my yesterday.. ITS SO COOL MOUNT :D
i roll 64 for ir :D..

Kommentar von 151385

My personal favourite mount in the game :)

Kommentar von 201834

Got this mount for my Druid last week! It's pretty cool looking but it bobs up and down when you ride which is a little annoying.

Kommentar von 229805

Does this mount still drop in patch 3.0?

Kommentar von wevans

So when we are all lvl 80 we can farm this mount with a buddy?

Kommentar von eDGe87

Got this baby today, first time I saw it drop, so I got quite happy :). Always wanted it. First time I attempted to get this mount since the patch and it dropped. Might be a buffed droprate, or we were just lucky, I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm a higher droprate, or is it as it was before 3.0?

Kommentar von 241146

Swift Flight form is trainable at level 71 according to WoW 3.0.3 PTR patch notes.

Does this mean that the Swift Flight Form quest chain for druids will make it so no new druids will be able to summon Anzu, and only the veteran druids who have done the chain will be able to summon him?

Kommentar von 144370

My advice if you're going to try and solo this as a feral druid.

Kill Talon King first. If you die against Anzu you can always run into Ilkiss's room, and be right there at the fight. :)

Kommentar von 293345

Does anyone know if the ravenlord still drops post wotlk release? has anyone had/seen it drop? just wondering because ive been soloing h-sethekk daily and im starting to wonder if its in vain

Kommentar von Mymloch

Got it on attempt 13. I was tired and drunk, but decided to run it anyway. Thankfully, I did.

Kommentar von 153653

Anymore news about the drop rate ? one says 0,8% ... one says 1-5% .. anyone knows the real drop rate or have blizzard change it or something ?

Kommentar von 302660

I've been farming this mount for a long long time now, even since somewhere season 2 (TBC). I've done 69 runs so far, and I still really want this mount. Offering about 1000g to each party member works, atleast it did in TBC, no need to offer 3000g, you are just wasting your money. Since I'm a priest I can't summon it, but luckely I have a druid alt, so what I do to summon him is: right infront of the boss I give leadership of the party to someone else, alt+F4 and log on my druid. He gets invited and I walk to the boss, summon him, alt+F4 again and log on my priest. When I log in, the boss is just summoned and we kill him.

If you are farming this mount on lvl 80 and planning on farming this with 2 people and planning to roll, good luck, you need to be insanely lucky to get it that way. I've always made sure if it would drop I would get it.... but I haven't had much luck, never seen it drop.

I hate those people that do 1 run and get it. If you are one of them, please know how lucky you are, and use that mount 100% . Don't even dare riding on that silly tiger or kodo, use the Raven Lord, since it's the coolest mount in WoW (it just is...) ! :P

By the way, don't think this is *lolezmode lvl 70*, for some classes it might, but those guards located in 6 diffrent places in the instance still hit pretty hard.

Kommentar von 303847

My fiance and I are on our 46th run as of later today. Since we ran it pre-BC quite a few times, I lost track.. more than likely we are between our 46th-55th run, maybe more, but likely not. Not once have we seen it. None of my Guildies have it, nor friends. Now he and I multi-box it with my Druid who can summon Anzu, as we're 80. He knows how badly I want it, and is going to pass the Reins to me. :D

As drop rates can't be trusted, it's hard to keep faith not knowing how much chance we really have. But we keep running it daily, and are not going to miss another unless we utterly have to. After all, it's only once a day. Two bad it's not 5 times daily, lol. >.<

I'm wondering how many of you who got it, when did you get it... During BC, during Lich? Approximately how many runs did it take you? I'm curious! And how many others have it on your server? For us, I've seen 8 so far.

With all the reading and whatnot that I've done, I do believe it is a 1% drop-rate.

For those of you still farming it, may luck be with us. That's all it really is based on after all; and if you keep running it nearly every day, you will eventually get it. I will keep you all posted, I hope those of you who're after it do the same!

Update: Run 57 Done, no Anzu love yet! :(

Kommentar von 312339

Sup Sup..This mount still drops in WOTLK. I know cause i got it. You as all know need a druid to summon boss but anyone can roll on it when it drops. As a lvl 80 druid in full T7.5 gear i could solo boss quite easy. It's a low drop rate but dropped for me on only the second farming attempt. Im also soloing the ZG boss for tiger mount but this by far beats it in how cool it looks. Everyday people ask where did i get it. Anyways, what i did is stealth to boss, clear room then summon boss. Easy as can be. Good luck all. Love my mount and hope you all can enjoy the same.

Kommentar von 232847

Me and a guildie decided that we would run through all the mount instances and just farm the mounts, we picked which ones we wanted so it would be fair ( not decided by a roll ). the 2nd time we ran through SH the mount dropped, he passed, and i won :). the next day we went to MgT and the hawkstrider dropped, i passed, and he won :P gl to everyone trying to get this mount. It's really awesome

Kommentar von 222003

So you can not get to the boss now, if you havent done the quest (wich i guess is not avalible anymore since the trainers can easly teach you the swift flying form.)?

Kommentar von 43017

I've been farming Anzu for 55 runs before the expansion, and have logged at least as many runs as days in 2009, at this time. I'm at 93 runs at this time.

Just in case you may not know your chances of it dropping, with sequential runs, you can look at how many times it has 'not dropped' and your chances of it not dropping to get an idea of how lucky you might be.

Coin Flip experiment: 50/50 for Tails or Heads, but to get it to land on Tails 3 times in a row, you have to multiply that chance by itself 3 times. 0.50^3. That's the same situation as having run Anzu and have it not drop 93 times in a row. 0.99^93 ~= 40% chance. At least with every run I make, I have better than 50/50 now... I'm looking forward to run #300, when I'll have 95% chance of it dropping.

Kommentar von aneossino

guys, I saw this mount on a blood elf, and it's REALLY nice!

DEFINITELY the BEST looking land mount on WoW

Kommentar von 271529

I solo this instance regularly as feral without any issues. I'm not sure how many times I've killed this guy but it hasn't dropped yet.

Sometimes I bring a mage friend in to speed things up a bit. When I have him with me we kill:
ZG Tiger Boss, ZG Raptor Boss, Attumen the Huntsman in Kara, and Anzu in less than an hour.

The Raptor mount dropped a couple weeks ago for us.

Kommentar von Magus2002

Thought I'd mention, for other Death Knights or similar classes soloing this instance, that there are several mobs you can skip, thought I'd post a small quick-guide below:

1. The first two guards can be skipped if you run straight ahead once the instance loads, but might as well get them, anyway. Then take the Initiate+Owl and the two guards in front of the first big room.

2. Here you can, at level 80 sneak past all the big groups, going over to the left and pulling the two guards at the door in to the next hallway with you. (watch for that owl flying around)

3. In the next big room you can also skip groups by first going to the middle of the bonfire once the owl has passed, then running straight forward and pull the two guards into the next hallway, kill them and the owl that comes.

4. Kill the two guards in front of the boss room, then sneak past the boss by hugging the left wall. (or kill him if you feel like some blue vendor loot and a badge of justice, he can be hard as a death knight however, as the elementals he summons are immune to diseases)

5. Kill the two guards in the hallway after the first boss, hug the right wall and kill all the small birds, then after the big blue wind serpent goes back to the beginning of the room, sneak in between the two groups in front of you by waiting for the left patrolling birdman to go back to his group, going forward to the stair, then waiting for the right birdman to go back to his group then sneaking around and up the stairs.
The big blue wind serpent patrolling the stairs can be avoided if you wait for him to go to the end of the room, but might as well kill him, then kill the two guards up there.

6. Kill the pack of small birds inside the next room, then wait for the patrolling birdman to go left, and sneak onto the ledge with small birds to the right. Kill them and sneak straight forward to the two guards. Kill them, and the big blue wind serpent that will probably come.

7. You can, with some very good sneaking skills kill only one pack in the Anzu room if you're just after the last boss, but ofc if you're doing Anzu you might as well clear the room. If you wanna do just one pack, basically just pull the wind serpent once he's in the middle, then go to the middle yourself and pull the pack on the upper right, get them into the wall and behind some crates to avoid fear (or just nuke down the prophet first) then sneak into the final boss room.

8. This final pack before the final boss can be very hard, but it's just very important that you kill the prophet first to avoid fear, then quickly move away to avoid the blue ghost he spawns, which hits hard, you can move between the two corners to the left and right inside the entrance to the final boss room.

9. Now you can can kill the final boss, who is really easy if you just dodge the arcane explosion by going behind a pillar or using Anti-Magic Shell as a death knight. Now you can go out the back door, and if you're coming back in with a druid alt or friend to summon the boss, kill the three mobs that are in the middle of the first big room, then go to the entrance and relog.

10. (Optional) If you're logging on your druid alt, make sure to invite someone to group, make them leader, and have them invite your druid. Then just run in and everything should be cleared. Stealth forward past the first room, run up to Anzu's place and place the moonstone you need to summon on the pedestal, right after you place the orb, quickly relog, go back to your main and run in, you should be able to reach the room even before he is summoned, so you can pick him up right away, although it doesn't really matter as he won't despawn either.

Happy farming :)

My dream came true! after 48 runs in Wotlk and like 30 in tbc... Don't give up, don't lose your faith.

Kommentar von 330487

It still drops!
In fact, it dropped 20 minutes ago! I begged 3 of my friends for a month now to come with me to Anzu, I acquired the Heroic Mode key. They're lvl 80s, I'm a lvl 70 so it was very fast.

First try...
The tank was the Master Looter, he approached Anzu's corpse...
Darkhold ( Tank ) : No way
Darkhold: Synachriss ( me ) you lucky bas*****!
Liliben ( druid/healer ) : First run and it dropps... Gz
Maslac ( Lock/DPS ) : Unbelievable...

And that's how I got the mount in my FIRST TRY, 15 minutes, 28.2.2009. you can check out my achievements for Reins of the Raven Lord if you don't believe me ;)

Server: Bloodfeather
Player: Synachriss, lvl 70 fire spec mage

Good luck to all of you! Or better yet, MY luck to all of you! :)

Kommentar von Afoxi

63.3% chance you'd have this mount after exactly 100 kills.
86.6% at 200 kills.
95.0% at 300 kills. By this time you may seriously want to consider farming something else.

Kommentar von 338378

Death Knight with Reins of the Raven Lord (5 March 2009). Wut wut in the butt. Best looking mount in the game imo and looks even better on a Tauren Male DK. :)

Kommentar von 310557

3) Keep Demo Roar and FFF up, tank-and-spank until add phase (he will /yell). Save Barkskin for Paralyzing Screech (6s stun).

If you have specced into Primal Tenacity that reduces stun damage by 30%, im pretty sure this does not stack with barkskin; so i save my barkskin for if he gets a bleed on me.

on about 40 tries now starting to get boring !

Kommentar von 339680

Asked a druid friend of mine to do Raven-runs with me, we agreed we would both need if it drops.
So, after 2 runs it dropped, yes I know, damn lucky. we both needed and I got it. :)
For those who're still farming; GL, it's really worth it. :)

Kommentar von Source

I run Setthek every day since December and no cute mount :( but I run it in a particular way : I clear the instance with my DK then group someone, disconnect my DK, connect my druid (grouped by my friend), my druid summons Anzu then disconnect my druid and finally connect my DK (to kill Anzu).

But after one hundred of runs (and perhaps as much during BC /cry), I am asking : does it drop when there is no druid at the time of the kill? :x

(I am really sick of Setthek but I keep dreaming ^^).

Kommentar von Hepodix

We farmed 2-man Sethekk Halls that mount and it dropped at 13th run, so was lucky though :). Only had to pay 1k gold for the druid that he would pass.

Kommentar von 327901

It is solo able in lvl 80 as hunter? ore Druide? :) i hobe also when you have helped to kill Anzu then you will gain the key :P ore then im gonna be angry one Blizzard! I hobe it will be solo able in lvl 80 ^^

Kommentar von 260239

Alright ive been doing this about 25 times since WOTLK came out, not to include about 20+ times in BC. I still have yet to see this mount drop, just the other day a pally goes in there and on his 2nd time ever in Sethekk halls the mount drops, Whats the average time it will take to get this? like it has 1% drop rate but that doesnt mean if you run in 99times its gonna drop the next day, it still has a 1%drop rate, not 100%drop rate on 100th day.

Kommentar von 260239

Well what do ya know, i got mine today. I would say all in all, including bc about 50runs to get this well worth it cause i dont see any druids with this only other class's o.0

Kommentar von rickrolledlol

AnzuSeeker I have to say you inspired my girlfriend and I to keep at doing (H) Sethekk every day possible. After litterally months of tries on my prot warrior pre-Wotlk and then i'd say about 2 solid months on my prot DK, the Raven Lord mount dropped. My girlfriend was kind enough to pass for Anzu as I passed for her ZG tiger, and its pretty rare to see the Raven Lord on a DK where normally you see druids on it. So don't give up! Never lose hope! Keep focused and it will drop for you when your time comes. Best of luck Anzu hunters of the World of Warcraft!

PS this mount dropped the day of patch 3.1 being implemented so it is still currently obtainable in-game.

Kommentar von Hathor

It's also noted that if you ONLY kill Anzu, you can reset the instance as much as you want and try again.

Multiple stealth runs plz?

Kommentar von Moonley

Or hit the 'View in 3D' -buttom above on this page.

Kommentar von 342746

This is true i just started to do this today im at 8 runs so far was up to about 40 or so before this so i plan to farm it all day if thats what it takes to get it.

Kommentar von 340234

Ran Heroic Sethekk Halls yesterday with my Druid and Hunter friends just to see if we could get it to drop and it did.

My Druid friend won it.

Kommentar von SoupMaster

Does this still drop in 3.1? I'd like to know before I waste my time farming it.

Kommentar von 303847

Been farming this ever since I got the ability to summon, still never seen it drop. :( Probably up to 40-50 runs by now. Getting a little disheartened, but I'm going to keep trying. I've loved this mount ever since I saw it and I want it more than anything in the game (except maybe Ashes of A'lar, haha).

I heard from a friend (who ran Stratholme like 200 times before finally getting his mount) that if you're in a group of 5 people, your chances of drop rate are increased. Is that true, or is it better to just solo or 2-man (if you can't solo it)?

I'm on run 93 as of this evening, so I know the frustration all too well!

The chance of a drop rate is not increased with a group of 5 as far as all the information I've gathered, and I've read tons of information on drop rates and whatnot. The loot table is created when the first person zones into the instance. So if you're solo'ing it, it's based on your RNG. You can 2-man it, or solo. I'm lucky in the fact that my Fiance and I run it together and he has no issues with passing the mount to me; he wants the ZG Raptor and HMGT Hawkstrider, which are his when they drop.

Trust me, there isn't any way to increase the chances of a drop rate; all you can do is keep trying. It's an easy run, but a disappointment every time Anzu is down and there isn't any Reins to show for it; anyone who has it will tell you it's far worth the time and effort.

Don't give up, you won't like the results. Giving up = never having the Reins.
That in itself keeps me motivated. :)

Good Luck!

Kommentar von monoxide0184

Since noone has mentioned this, this mount can't jump out of water.

This means that if you're a deathknight (like me) who happens to get a hold of one of these lovely birds and you forget to cast path of frost before entering the water, you must dismount manually now, cast path of frost, jump up on top of the water and then remount... Minor inconvenience, but there you have it.

Also, is it just me, or is it incredibly ironic that a mount that drops from a boss who flies around the room the whole encounter that is only summonable as part of a quest involving epic flying... is a land only mount? Seriously, this thing has (admittedly, small) wings, I'd love to see it flying :(
Apparently it is just me, seeing things.

Kommentar von 363390

dropped today after 11 runs :)

Kommentar von 365542

You are all so lucky who get this awsome mount in the first 50 or even the first 100 runs!
I can solo Anzu for ages I can say but no luck with the drops. As I count I'm on my 131 run tonight. Still no drop but I decided I wont give up and I will continue farming!:)

Kommentar von 366256

I'm normally dual-specced resto/moonkin. So after reading about the hot-the-statue-until-anzu-is-close-to-death-and-then-starfire method, I tried it out. It worked, and the mount didn't drop. I tried that method twice and decided that it simply took too long. I also wasn't crazy about using what is obviously an exploit, so I decided to dedicate my 2nd spec to feral specifically to farm the mount.

My feral set consists of mostly 200 level gear, with a few 213's thrown in here and there. The fight was as easy as many here have described.

I approached the farming almost like a daily. I'd do my Argent Tournament dailys, hearth to Crusader Point, then fly to Dalaran and take the portal to Shat. Once in Shat, I'd fly to the instance, buff with MotW and thorns, then stealth to the end boss.

I killed Ikiss each time because I wanted to have a counter for the total number of kills...also, getting saved to the instance was nice, and vendoring the loot from the run actually made it that much more like a daily, since I was getting paid. :)

I'd clear all trash in Anzu's room, and even the big pull right before Ikiss. (Made things much easier, since I could kite all trash into Ikiss' room and not have to worry about fears from the prophets.)

Once the room was cleared I'd summon and kill Anzu. The whole process was usually done before my hearthstone was off cooldown (~25 min) That was my routine and two days ago the reins dropped. Total attempts (according to statistics): 21. I realize that I am very fortunate.

Nevertheless, I would not have started farming the mount if I was not ok with potentially hundreds of runs without a drop. You can't go into it expecting to be lucky. Expect the worst, accept it as a possibility. Think of it no more than a daily. When the mount drops (and in all probability, it will - 86.6% chance you will see it in 200 runs or less), it will be a very welcome surprise, and you will be very happy. :P

Oh, and as a side note...if you have a caster set, be sure to put thorns on while wearing the caster set, then switch to your feral set. By doing that, your thorns will hit for around 200, which is really nice for the bird adds.

Good luck...and remember...it's just a daily. ;)

Kommentar von 366646

Finally got this back on 4-26 (unsure as to how many attempts it's been, seeing as how I didn't get all my boss kills credited to me when achievements rolled out) :)

I've been 2-manning it with the co-GM of my guild (also a druid) for the past 2-3 months almost every single day, and this was the first time either one of us had ever seen it drop. Stoked beyond belief when I won it! He and I still run it almost everyday...gotta get him his own now :D

For those that have never seen it drop, like everyone on here has said already, don't lose faith.....it will drop :) Best of luck to you all :)

Dropped for me 5/16/09. Still live ingame in 3.1.

Kommentar von 356181

Blizard just gave me a present today. I got this mount today after 23 runs. Not a hard fight just the time and commitment of every day running this instance for the drop. I feel extremely lucky that it dropped so soon for me. Good luck to those of you still farming.

Kommentar von Melkoshi

I was luckyish. Got this on my 37th run. I was farming this every day with a friend I had FORCED to make a druid solely for this mount. (and paid completely for.)

After the first month, my friend started getting @#$%ed about it. so it spaned over 2-3 months running every couple of days. This finally dropped after a break from farming it. on 05/20/09. I was screaming OH MY GOD so loud my mother actually came into the room and asked what happened. LOL.

Dont give up hope guys. as of 3.1.2. it still drops, and it drops when you LEAST think it will...!

Kommentar von 369713

Well, after running this and keeping track of my runs, I got this item exactly on my 100th run. Guess that shows how accurate that 1% drop rate is ... (if only statistics were that forgiving ...).

So in 3.1 it still drops, and it appears that while fighting the packs around Anzu is even easier to solo now with savage defense. Don't even need to LoS during his banish to heal myself. So more than soloable, I'd say EASILY soloable.

Good luck to all fellow players trying to get this mount, long and tedious, yes but it's definitely worth it.

Got this on our sixth run (ran my rogue friend). So you can get lucky with this.

Kommentar von 303847

Wanted to say "Grats!" to everyone who's gotten the Reins and "Good Luck!" to those of us who haven't as of yet. ^^

For a long time I've done plenty of reading up on Anzu farming as well as keeping up with the different data sites and forums. While I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people out there who haven't posted a thing while farming or even when they got their Reins, there's enough data to prove that this grind shouldn't technically take 200 runs. I've seen the math done and the reasoning that yes, all loot is random. This is a 1% drop rate however, so 200 runs seems quite unlikely. As I stated I've covered a lot of data, and anyone who has gotten the Reins didn't get close to that many runs.

So for those of you who are in the 80+ range now, keep the faith! 107 runs completed for my fiance and I, 108 tonight. They will be mine soon! This grind is well worth the payoff. It does need to be treated like a daily and eventually, the Reins will be yours too. :)

Really the only mount I want in the game...Saw it drop once but someone else in the group won it. (Me being the druid who summoned Anzu) I still try it every once and while but cant try much with raiding. So GL to everyone trying to get it...I just hope I get mine someday as well.

Kommentar von Lydeck

Been running This Since December Last year, Now in Late may, have attended nearly everyday, still no mount, starting to lose hope QQ, A girl in my guild got it on her 6th run after she found out i was after it, rng sucks =(

Kommentar von 217486

I was interested in something - can u can enter the instance with a druid, then druid goes stealth and kill Anzu and with master looter on druid looting and giving Raven Lord mount to you (who will be waiting at the start of instance)?

I guess that won't work but maybe someone tried it already?

Kommentar von 222003

Hello!

For all of you, who dont know exactly how to do the run, I've recorded a video (since i've got bored there).

You can see it on youtube (be sure to watch in HD):

Mount farming pt.1

I am farming it every day for at least 5 months now and I still didnt get it (+ TBC runs). Well, its important you never give up. I cant wait to get mine :) (I am also doing ZG and Stratholme video soon. I will probs add a video for Winterspring Frostsaber and similar so STAY TUNNED and feel free to subscribe and comment (it brings a smile to my face when someone comments on my video :))

Kommentar von Corvan

This is why Trolls and Blood elves must use different Stables.

Kommentar von 379402

Got mine today after 8 tries, would have been worth a year of farming though. Sweet ride :)

Kommentar von 194726

Is it possible to farm this mount? In other words can I run the instance on my druid and paladin (different accounts) and have it drop, loot to my paladin, and then somehow "reset" it and run again on my druid and hunter and loot to my hunter?

Kommentar von 172372

Got honored with lower city, got the heroic key, and on first attempt this beast dropped for me. Still very possible to drop. Did the drop rate potentially get increased?

Kommentar von Konou

Just got my Reins today! Run number 69, had to be that number, not that I'm complaining. >.> I was so happy it dropped, I didn't believe it at first. Don't lose hope, you can get yours too. Good luck in your hunts, its well worth it! =D

June 8, 2009 (patch 3.1.2)

Dropped for me last night.

Kommentar von 73082

Dropped for me this evening after 14 runs, dont give up people, it will drop!

Kommentar von 386145

This is a rare drop off of Anzu, a special boss that can only be summoned if a druid that has completed or is on the second last step of the Swift Flight Form chain is in the group.

As an 80 druid, Anzu is fairly easy to kill. He will go immune and summon adds which need to be killed every once in a while. You should be able to bring him down without him going immune more than twice.

The only difficult part about this is the trash that needs to be cleared. The Talon Lords will stun you and the Prophets will fear you. Just make sure you you pre-hot, preferably in resto gear for the increased heals, and then burn down the Talon Lords and Prophets first and make sure you stay far away from other packs.

Kommentar von 392121

sigh, so far i have soloed this 165 times and nothing plus almost every day on TBC with guild mates helping, i soo wanna give up but the mount just looks tooo gd to loose out on any how happy hunter all of u anzu solo'ers who havent got it either yet :D

Kommentar von 208881

Dropped for me June 16th '09 so it does still drop. Don't give up!

Weird, I went in today like i have 29 other times, but when i got to the part to summon him the little alter that you have to click wasn't there. I went out, reset the instance, went back in... same thing. Hope this is just a temporary bug on my part. I always worry that they will get rid of the best looking mount in the game before i can get it.

Kommentar von Oomie

Been doing it off and on with a feral friend since feburary....decided last week to get my feral set together and do it myself....every, single, day. Run #6, nothing yet.

Kommentar von 392121

well oomie i hope u have better luck than i do cos ive soloed it like 175 times so far and gonna do another one in a few hours maybe it'll drop :D

Kommentar von Sylver

Soon will be around #160 run , farming since february i think , no luck yet.

Kommentar von 57406

All important question:

Can tauren fit through the Undercity doors / Dalaran sewer arches on this mount?

Kommentar von 392121

well im back again, just completed my 176th run and still no luck. i must just have rele bad luck :(

Kommentar von 372788

just dropped for me 1 min ago i am so happy but the mount love in the game is the tiger in ZG but this is ok i still like it dont give up guys it will drop.

Kommentar von 392121

well just done my 181st try and still now mount will this ever drop or are the GMs just laughing at me :'(

Kommentar von 417610

So, I've had my 103rd run yesterday no mount....
the most intruiggiung thig is that I've been to mgt hc 12 times and I've seen the mount drop 4 times, including my 12th time yday when i soloed it now i have an extra mount in my inventory.
this game is just taking the p... about that raven mount, same thing goes for the start mount which i had done 153 time.......
i really hope my mount drops soon seriously....
I'm also a owner of a spectral tiger unscratched card and if it were the anzu mount is actually use it >.<....I rlly want this mount badly.

Kommentar von 411248

where are setthek halls?

Kommentar von 419956

I just created an account with Wowhead to let everyone know that on the 5th of July 2009 this mount dropped for me.

It was the 99th kill for me, so I can truly say to all those with high kill counts, keep at it. It bugs me when people kill Anzu and it drops for them after 8 or 9 tries, well I'm happy for you, yet that's not really a true farm.

Good luck to everyone who has yet to snag this beauty.

Kommentar von 392121

hallajuah! on my 184th try i got it! i shat a brick and cos of this mount i was late for my 25 ulduar raid and got -25dkp but $%^& it! i got the mount! :D

Kommentar von 422860

My wife and I have been farming the Raptor mount for 9 months about 6 times a week (multiple characters). No luck. My wife's druid hit 70 about 3 weeks ago and we started our grinding for the Raven Lord mount. It dropped after about 3 weeks of grinding (about 23 attempts). I won it on my pally. We took the next night off and then went back and it drops again and now have it on my warrior too. Am i extremely lucky or have they up the drop rate? I am not giving up on Raptor.

My warrior and pally are on separate accounts so i can use them both at the same time. Makes it nice for farming rare stuff.

I was lucky enough to get this babie on my first hc sethekk run lol.
It also gives a Feat of Strenght achievement: Reins of the Raven Lord which is nice :P

Kommentar von 386145

I ran this 27 times before it finally dropped for me.

It's easy enough as Feral. I kill the 1st boss, Berserk pull the 1st two trash pulls, kill the 3rd and the stray reptile thingy, and Berserk pull the 4th and 5th pulls. Anzu is very easy. I like to Rejuvenate the 2 damage helping birds. The fire one helps burn down Anzu's adds REAL fast.

This mount isn't as amazing for me as it is for others considering I have a Grand Ice Mammoth, a Traveler's Tundra Mammoth, and Swift Zulian Tiger too =D

Kommentar von 416769

I'm up to 33 kills so far and it still hasn't dropped. It can become a little discouraging at times but eventually it will drop, it has to, right..........right! I see some of you over the 100 mark! O.O I hope it does not take that long.

Gratz to everyone who has won this so far!

Kommentar von 424076

This just dropped for me on my very first Anzu kill. Very easy to solo as 80 feral druid with decent tanking tanking gear.

I didn't post this just to rub it in that i got it on my very first try, but all my guildmates are offline just now, and I needed to woo hoo! somewhere. lol

Kommentar von Elzorvie

i havent started farming anzu yet,and not many boom/moonkins attempt this,but im feeling REALLY discouraged and also very excited about trying(as i got firefly in 385 kills,and crimson whelping in around 50 O.o)im an avid mount/pet collector so this is very much on the list and seeing everyone trying so hard(ive read all the comments)i just wanna say good luck to all who have been trying and will try to get this awsome mount

Kommentar von 347772

I got my Raven Lord mount on my first Sethekk Halls H run. I won the roll with a 26 vs a 25, I see you guys can be very high on your kills and don't give up because you will get this awesome mount! Gratz to all who have gotten it and good luck to the people who haven't.

Kommentar von 153653

I got this awesome mount today, after 17 runs.I guess I'm Pretty lucky because there is people's at my server who has farming it for month's.

And btw I think they buffed Anzu's "Spell Bomb Curse" because when I farmed this mount with a druid ofc and with druid buff, his bomb hit'd me for 4000. I cant remember it took that much in tbc, rather ~2000. Anzu cast it when he banish himself, he can also cast it random. But as long I can remember while I and the druid farmed the mount, he never casted the spell on the druid ;P only at me(im mage) so i guess casters have to watch out for it ^^.

Kommentar von 341517

only tried a handful of times in tbc, and maybe tried twice since wotlk. the other day i had a feeling i should try so i got my ret pally buddy and it dropped. i guess what im saying is go with your gut feeling on things. if you dont think it going to drop dont beat your head against the wall on it. gl all you druids out there.

Kommentar von 200692

You know how most of the posts are telling you "Keep farming, don't give up!" well up until today I thought it was a load of bull. I was ready to give up. After a solid 54 tries (54 solo that is, about 20-30 runs with a friend before i realized I could solo it!) and almost a FULL post-it note of checkmarks to keep track of my attempts, I did my daily run as usual and when I looted Anzu only a gem and his blue leather belt popped up in the loot boxes.

... but then, about a full second AFTER they popped up, the REINS OF THE RAVEN LORD POPPED UP! I nearly &*!@ed myself silly. I was so close to just giving up after all these runs, but then when I had the most doubt, my luck turned right around.

So next time you guys read "keep farming, it will drop" and think it will never drop for YOU, just think again. - Totally worth all the runs.

Going to upload my own picture :)

Kommentar von 429825

dropped my very first run haha

Kommentar von 208857

Me and a guildie friend 2man this everyday, twice a day before the dungeon reset at 12 ST. I am a Resto/Balance and my friend is a Destro Warlock. We are both high quality 10/25 Naxx geared. And for us, this is easy no wipes at all unless a bad fear, or CC pull goes badly wrong. Throughout the whole instance up until Anzu, I am balance and offhealing my friend who is an aggro magent. For pulls with 3 or more mobs, I root one mob and cyclone the other for easy kills. When we do get to Anzu, the strategy changes...

I go resto for the fight and HoT up my friend real good b/c of the stuns and screeches. She tanks the boss herself with her imp out. When the adds come out, she just AoEs them until dead. Rinse and repeat until Anzu is dead. Note: I dont use the statue spirit system thing because i dont have time to with my friend taking all the hits.

Hasnt dropped for us yet, but she says I get the mount if it drops because she knows how much i really want this mount. We will continue to farm and farm until the mount drops, hopefully it will be soon.

Kommentar von Novamaru

A shame this mount doesn't use the same mechanics as the https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=48025, would be even more amazing. :)

Plan to try to make runs for this mount on my Huntress once i have the chance.

Kommentar von Shieva

Finally got today 26/07/09 after about 2 years of trying.

Kommentar von Hushling

After about 25 days of farming, I got the mount today! A picture is posted. Good luck to all! If you work at it, it WILL drop.

Kommentar von 436188

I'm up to about 40 kills on Anzu so far, and still no mount. Unless you're extremely lucky, expect to be killing him every day for at least a couple of months.

On average, with the 0.8% droprate, it should drop about once every 4 months if you kill him every day. Now that's a pain to find out, but it also means you will have a really rare mount if you eventually get it. You certainly don't see many people running around with it.

Kommentar von 218422

Dropped for me on my first try with a druid friend of mine (8/12/09). Felt very guilty about winning the roll, knowing the drop rate and all.

Kommentar von Quackie

Been pretty bummed and discouraged about this mount. I've wanted it badly ever since I first saw it early on in TBC. It's simply amazing imo.

I started running Sethekk Halls with a buddy and we agreed to help eachother until *both* of us had it. Well, we ran it roughly 20-30 times and when it dropped he won the roll. He quit WoW shortly thereafter.

I've been running it daily, rarely ever missing a day since. Currently I'm up to 83 solo runs. My old partner never wanted to kill Ikiss. We ran it, killed Anzu and hearthed out. Since I've been soloing it, I always kill Ikiss for profit and the shortcut. It's also a good way of tracking your # of your runs.

The most disappointing part is that we all have parts/aspects of this game we love. I've always been a bit of a collector, so I'm a mount/pet hound. This mount has been a super want for me for a long time, and also greatly helps out my quest towards Mountain o' Mounts Achievement. It's hard to keep your head up when all you see day in and day out is "Boots of Righteous Fortitude." Daily disappointment is not something that makes a person want to continue on with the game. /End QQ

Hopefully I'll get mine soon. One would think it has to drop *eventually* but who knows if you're that one person who will never get it in 1k runs. And to anyone else out there that's feeling the same way I am after many runs, hang in there because I know how you feel. As for me, I really hope the day comes that I can come back here and post my newest and greatest pride & joy item. Who knows? Time will tell...

Good luck everyone!

EDIT: Got it after 226 runs. Downvote all you want bads. I have it and you don't. =)

Kommentar von 355970

I've lost count of number of runs, but between TBC and now soloing it I am at least at over 275 runs.... no mount.... I'm saddened by this greatly.

Kommentar von 258799

After first letting my eyes on this mount I have always wanted it, its very characteristic and special, and being a druid myself made it easier to get. A mate of mine paid me a certain amount of gold for every run and another number of gold when it would drop. After it did drop for him (maybe 20 runs or so) I decided that now was the time to farm it.
Play feral in pvp and so was able to solo it every day in my pvp gear and pvp spec. Stealthed in, cleared the whole room where you summon Anzu and simply killed him, also killed the last boss every time I was there since it gave some extra, and very welcome gold.
Was very lucky and got it after maybe 10 kills, meaning nothing else then it might take you 10 kills to get it, or it might take over 200. The more you grind it the more it will be worth for you in the end.

btw, love how its head bobs when he runs, and the wing movements when you fall.
and yea it still drops, the RNG might just hate you :/

Kommentar von Krazed87

Very difficult to solo as a Balance Druid. I am in Full Tier 8.5 / Ulduar Hmode gear and would consider myself a pretty decent player having attained my Rusted/Ironbound drakes and etc.

However this encounter is still very difficult to solo, I wiped for quite some time and was not able to get it down. The curse is just a huge pain to a caster and even if it's decursed quickly you will just be getting demolished with Melee hits/other abilities he will do. Not to mention being pounded on during the stun and having a ton of knockback! Having a solo spec with Owlkin Frenzy might help quite a bit.

I would suggest bringing a friend and hoping to win the roll or agreeing for him to pass. I can however recommend soloing the first and final boss to open up the door at the beginning of instance that way your friend who can't stealth can just help you clear a few trash mobs and Anzu's room rather than spending 10 extra minutes on trash.

Can stealth through the whole thing but first boss will see through it, pre-hot yourself and pull him making sure to put treants out first for initial aggro. I take aggro pretty quick but he is usually already less than %60 HP, from there just focus the boss, use starfall + trinkets you have and re-hot yourself if needed, popping barkskin when adds come out.

Final boss is pretty simple, just dot him and dps, move to a beam when he casts his main ability (he will stop running/attacking) and go back at it.

Anzu himself I don't think is easily soloably at all, I am going to keep trying a few times and will hopefully get a video if I pull it off!

Up to 32 runs now and haven't gotten the mount yet but good luck to those trying!

Kommentar von Haylzorz

Ever since I first saw someone on this mount, it became my mission to get it. Overtime it became less of a priority and I kinda gave up, didn't even bother reaching honored with Lower City.

Then this morning my friend told me she had got it, it was her third run. I got a huge urge to go try my chances, so I collected some feathers, bought the key and attempted to solo. No such luck, kept dying... Then a friend comes along to help me. We kill him in no time and the mount dropped. My first ever run to Sethekk Halls Heroic... I was more than prepared to run it like, 100 times? Was in a state of shock when purple popped up. I hope you all get the same luck I did o.0 I personally think this mount is worth the effort if you end up more unlucky.

Kommentar von 407925

Oh God! I Really Want this mount! 58 runs and didn't drop for me! make me sad... :( Ill try tomorrow again and again! lucky for me! s2

Kommentar von applebear

Soloed at level 80 druid. Make sure to clear room before pulling boss or you get everything once he summons his flock.

Kommentar von 417610

Alright, I got this mount on the 6th run.............on my alt.......
Despite of my main gaving to run the instance and kill anzu for 141 times my alt gets it after soloing it 6 times! I'm going crazy already, this game hates me T_T....

Kommentar von 62358

i finaly got this mount after farming every morning for the better half of this fiscal year.

Kommentar von Source

Took me over 280 runs (yes 280, I went to Sethekks every day since december 2008) but finally it dropped and I ran all over my house screaming how joyful I was =D

I don't know if it is important but for the first time I managed to kill Anzu before the second wave of birds (he casted stunning spell while at ~40% and I was under Hysteria and DRW so :P) and the mount dropped :D

So beautiful I can't stop running in dalaran ^^.

Kommentar von AdmiralAliens

Wow
Over half year of farming,on both my warrior and mage,and every time I kill him,I went over here,those comment encourage me to keep trying and trying and one day It will drop,and finally, It dropped today.
Me and my friend was so happy we screamed over the vent, I just want to thanks those comment that keep me trying for this bird.
now its my turn,Do not give up on him! he WILL drop sooner or later,its just the matter of times =)

Will update with video and screenie soon!

Kommentar von lizzypoo

I started farming this everyday since July 29, 2009 and it dropped for me September 13, 2009. So 47 days. I think I got extremely lucky, but don't give up on it! I'm still running this again for my boyfriend to get it too now so the farming isn't over for me yet.

Kommentar von 457992

I am already on my 40th run, and i am a hunter. Finding druids who are willing to help me achive my mount dream. I spend 100 gold per run nad i am wandering how much should i charge for one boost?

Kommentar von tiprun

This has just dropped for about 25 minutes ago, I've been running it with a friend for the past month and a bit (around 30 tries overall). I know some people are well into their hundred runs for this and I was prepared to go to those lengths to get it too, it's my favourite mount in the game! :)

But what I'm trying to say is don't give up, hopefully hearing that it's dropped within 30 runs keeps people going! Good luck everybody.

Kommentar von 298205

WTB Free Raven Lord? :C Best mount ever..

Kommentar von 343508

I ran Heroic Sethekk Halls on my druid 3 times total before the mount dropped. First try was to get my swift flight form, third try the mount dropped. I gotta say, I was pretty lucky.

Kommentar von 463518

Ever since BC i've been hunting this mount. I'd come summon and get heart broken. But for the last month I decided to make it a daily thing to do. I solo'd Anzu straight every day since August 31st till today it dropped September 30th 2009. Confirming it still Drops!

Kommentar von 465352

Did they raise the drop rate on this? It seems I've seen a LOT more people with it lately, and a friend keeps swearing it's because they upped the drop rate. :\

I got mine on August 27, 2009, after finally finding a druid to help me out. It dropped on our fourth run, so I guess we got lucky. :)

Kommentar von 470189

Ran this with 3 guildies (one came along for a boost) i said if it dropped the other 2 80's could roll and it dropped first time. I won it seems karma exists as i feel the druid summoning should get first dibs on the item. :D.

Oh and the guy getting the boost on an alt tried to roll on it aswell after i made it explicitly clear he would not have that privilidge if it dropped. I have a word for people like that but it isnt allowed here :P

Kommentar von 400399

Took about 50-55 runs for me to get it. Solo'd it everyday as a feral tank. at first it was a bit tough to do, but ever since they introduced the new bear ability (you absorb a certain amount of damage everytime your crit) it has been a breeze.

It's all worth it, riding around in freya's room on your tropical bird =D

Kommentar von 476842

ran this baby for like 20 times on my lock and got 1 drop that went to my druid brother,stoped running it,and after 3 runs on my rogue i finally saw that purple name on my roll box and boy was i glad,defenitly te best looking mount in game atm,dont lose your hope ppl it drops and it will drop for ya eventually.

cheers

After 43 kills in 2 months of farming with my feral druid, my mount dropped yesterday. Keep trying, dont give up, it will drop!

Kommentar von 485007

Surprised to say I have just gotten this mount after just 2 days of farming it. I've done the pre quest at 80 ( didnt have epic flight nor 5kg at 70 because i was lazy..) at 11/12/09 got the achievment for 'Epic Flight Form' I did the heroic that day for a chance at it but no luck, next day (today) i went in there cleared the room, killed Anzu, saw he had the mount, and got the achievment for having the Anzu mount on 11/13/09. Im not sure if the drop rate was increased or i was just amazing lucky..but i was happy non the less lol.

Kommentar von 480262

Confirmed drop in 3.2. Just got it earlier today. Easily soloable by a feral tank. Started farming this every day about 2 1/2 weeks ago. So keep at it, you'll eventually see it!

Kommentar von 275624

got it this weekend,

cleared the instance on a shaman, got a friend to keep the instance saved. afterwards went in with my druid farming alt, summoned anzu, ran out, relog & killed anzu & claimed my prize.

Kommentar von 487689

i got it today afther 134 runs, yes 134 runs. :)

Kommentar von 479453

Currently at run #257. I can really feel the burn now (sigh).

Anyways, does anyone care to comment on the possibility that you have better odds of it dropping with a group as opposed to solo?

Thanks.

Kommentar von kourtnie

My boyfriend and I ran Sethekk/ZG together with his druid and my shaman until I got a raptor and he got the raven lord; then we did Terokkar Turkey Time with his druid and my priest and it dropped again! Now we have twin Anzus. Crazy that it took him hundreds of runs and my priest gets it her first go. This really shows the RNG.

Happy Thanksgiving to anyone else lucky enough to get it while doing a Pilgrim run!

Kommentar von 489665

Got mine 11/25/09 after seventy-something tries. I love my Raven lord and the fact that it dropped on my birthday makes it all the sweeter. Don't give up!

Kommentar von yendig

I FINALLY got the mount tonight. (Nov 26th, 09) Run 78 since I started keeping count via Ikiss kills in my achievement stats, so that doesn't include the many many many times I went in there during BC. It WILL drop just keep at it.

Kommentar von 493111

currently on run 146, its easily soloable as a bear just be sure to kill the prophets first as every so often they can fear you into the other packs which may kill you depending on your gear/skill

Dropped after 25-30 runs for me
Still available at 3.3
Gooooood luck

Kommentar von 479453

Finally... after 269 Runs. It dropped -- just be persistent. Note that it isn't on the same table as the ring/weapon/belt, you get something else in addition to the reins.

Kommentar von 499901

Okay here it is as of today. After 95 solo Druid runs it finally dropped. So, yes it is still there, and the drop rate for me as I had calculated was around 60% chance on that run. Now I can ride it and smile. Good luck to the rest of you, I vow to never return to that place again.

Kommentar von 481683

Dropped today (on Christmas day) on the 40th run.

Thanks for the present Blizz!

Kommentar von Taai

Dropped for me on 12-21-2009
It took about 3 months worth of runs i only missed 6 days total while running it so 78 runs.
I'm a mainspec boomkin, but had an offset for feral so i solod Anzu
Just keep up with it, I almost was about to give up, it felt as if it would never drop
Best Wishes to those still looking for this Raven Lord

Kommentar von 91661

Got on my second attempt, yesterday. Really lucky. =D

The mobs around the room hit much harder the the boss. Clear the room and do the job.

Prowl through the dungeon and kill these mobs in the room before the last boss. Call Anzu using the orb on the object in the middle.

Anzu was easily soloable with furious set and pvp feral spec, even didn't need to use much CDs, except Berserk that helped to end the fight faster. I believe with deadly set it wouldn't be much worse.

Good luck for the farmers.

Kommentar von 251641

Still available in 2010! (Happy New Year to Me!) Dropped for me after many months of farming. I know it's been said before but if you really want this fantastic looking mount, hang in there because it will eventually drop for you.

Good luck

Kommentar von minttunator

Got mine today - according to the Badge of Justice count it took 33 runs.
Congratulations to everyone who's already got their Raven Lord (and an extra /salute if you're a Druid!). To everyone who's still running - keep at it, you'll get it one day!

Is it removed or what? Never seen it drop so seem a bit odd imo :P If that being the case, grats to the ones who has it, coolest mount in game :O

About 193 runs and no mount so far. Coolest epic mount imo, I wish I had it, guess I'll just keep trying :(

Kommentar von Naviie

Got mine today, after only soloing him 3 times. After reading the comments on the pages I was prepared to run it around about 200 times, but I as sat there muttering "please please please please" and looted the corpse, I was pleasantly surprised!

To all those still trying, good luck!

Kommentar von 518420

Omfg just got it! I tried the "please please please please" way and it worked! XD I'm so glad.
01/09/10 and it still drops! Thanks a million Naviie.

I hope everyone out there is more lucky that I am. Today was day 411. Still no mount. However I have this strong feeling Blizzard hates me. As I have also ran Stratholme over 1500 times. (Thats counting lvl 60 to now. Most of them were at the low drop rate) Also for 3 months me and a friend ran Kara, ZG, H MgT, and TK every reset.. However.. We have never seen any of the mounts. I envy you all. However.. Assuming they don't take it out.. I will continue to farm this and keep you posted on what day I actually do get it.

From the darkest night shall rise again the raven, shall take flight in the shadows, shall reveal the nature of its kind. Prepare yourself for its coming, for the faithful shall be elevated to take flight with the raven, the rest be forgotten to walk upon the ground, clipped wings and shame.

Steel your minds and guard your thoughts. The dark wings will cloud and consume the minds of the weak, a flock of thralls whose feet may never leave the ground.

The old blood will flow once again with the coming of the raven, the return of the darkness in the skies. Scarlet night, and the rise of the old.

The raven was struck down once for flying too high, unready. The eons have prepared the Dark Watcher for its ascent, to draw the dark cloak across the horizon.

Kommentar von Roguedruid

I won't lie. I'm in quite the disbelief having just obtained this mount; on my first ever kill. Solo'd, of course.

Kommentar von 527716

Still avaliable as of 1/18/10 Patch 3.3

Kommentar von Thundermoose

/sigh

I've always wanted Anzu on my Rogue so a while ago I leveled a Druid on another account to 80, geared her a bit from heroics and specced her Feral bear - only for the purpose of solo running Anzu every day I can. For some reason mounts doesn't like me, I've farmed the ZG tiger for so long without a drop, but now that I have the Druid I'm only gonna do Anzu because thats the one mount I REALLY care about.

Still no drop. Like many others I have a feeling RNG hate me! So much work put into this, I really hope I get it.
Troll Rogue on anzu, you don't see that every day do you?

Good luck fellow Anzu farmers!

EDIT: GOT IT! 1/3/10 was the day I got it. It was so very awesome! I'm gonna post a screenie today or tomorrow :-)

Kommentar von 152902

Still drops in 3.3! Got it today on EU-Emerald Dream on my druid Nonasael. Took me about 80 runs.

Kommentar von 338384

well i cant say anything than gratz to all of you who got this nice mount and keep trying i know i will, going for my 350 run today so a kind of anniversary lol and yeah darn have i cursed ppl with it hearing they got it on 1-15th run but thats RNG for ya. I got a good example of rng i was running the barons mount b4 they buffed the droprate to 1-100 and had around 500 runs and 250 runs after buff and still didnt get it.
Then due to boredom and friends changing server i started a new char on a new server and in a way gave up on my recent farm on old char, then a day where my gf wanted the dancing piccolo trink thingy we we went in there just for that , hearthsinger didnt drop it on first try so we went out and reset without taking the baron, piccolo thingy drops on 2nd run and she says "why not go for barons mount for ya since we are here " and padaw 1st try ever on that server and with that char i got the mount darn RNG, as a note my gf did pass on it knowing how much ive farmed for it and well i help her farm engi recipes etc she wants badly so fair and square id say. So keep on farming and the raven will eventually be urs (i hope)

Kommentar von 416769

It dropped last night in 3.3. It took me roughly between 80 - 90 runs. I started tracking Ikiss kills and was up to 71 when it dropped. I had about a dozen or so runs before I started tracking the kills, and add in those moments I was heartbroken it didn't drop and just hearthed out.

Not sure if this will help, but both times Anzu summoned the birds we killed them before Anzu unbanished. I believe someone else mentioned that as well. It's probably just a quirk, but it can't hurt to try! Also, you don't have to kill Ikiss first, we never did. After killing Anzu we just stealthed through the last mobs to kill Ikiss to keep track, but it opens the back door to reach Anzu quicker in case you wipe.

Good luck to everyone that is still trying for it. If my hubby wouldn't have helped me and let me give up, I wouldn't have it right now. Thanks baby :)

Kommentar von 534409

Mine just dropped yesterday :D Took some major pew pew, and lots of QQ
I'm a feral tank with around 35k unbuffed. I have mostly 232 and 245s, but they are mostly ungemmed as of now. (Just got them.)

It took me around 53-ish runs, and I felt like yesterday was the day. Clearing out the room was the hardest part (if difficult).
Kill the first boss there to save you to the instance in case you die.

After that just sneak up to the summoning room and take out the mobs group by group. TAKE YOUR TIME. The prophets DO fear which can cause you to run and pull other groups. It will be okay to pull one or two other groups but the constant fears and stuns and curses and Wing Buffets can kill you even with all your cooldowns on. The Shadowmages (I think) are the ones who turn into a little ghost and do some damage when they die. Don't fret, they don't do much damage and can't be targeted. They disappear after a few seconds. Then, place your orby thing and back up to a wall so you don't aggro him early. Wait for the bird spirits to go to stone, start casting regrowth on the Eagle. Once it's done cast it on yourself, then shift to bear and demo RAWR. Pew pew him until he start casting the paralyzing screech (or whatever it's called) before it completes he stops attacking, so recast a HoT on the eagle. Or the hawk if you are taking some hefty damage (it's fine if you are, you'll have time to heal yourself later on.). I made a macro to give me a better chance to not get stunned before I can shift back to bear. Pew pew him and keep a demo roar up, and maybe some barkskins here and there. Around 66% he shifts out and summons the Brood of Anzu adds, throw rejuvenation and regrowth on you and a regrowth on the eagle and and shift to bear and spam swipe. Maul, if you have the glyph for it to hit 2 targets. If you don't take them out in an X amount of seconds, Anzu rephases and starts attacking again. No problem, just a little higher damage to you. He summons more adds at 33%. So what? Screw them. PEW PEW.

He does sometimes cast spell bomb which is no problem if you are tank specced, 1k damage in a ding on armor. But, it is de-cursable, so if you need to, do so. Eventually he drops dead. Cross your fingers and loot. Yesterday he dropped a green and a blue instead of the usual epic and blue. I had a suspicion, so I pressed next on the little arrow. IT WAS THERE.

If it doesn't drop for you, less q_q more pew pew

Kommentar von 535410

Well.... Four days after completing my druid quest during raid downtime I managed to snag this beauty.... Makes me feel bad for people like that guy w/ 350+ attempts in a previous post, or even my brother who had to try 96 days to get his... At least now we run around as two tauren druids on the ravenlord - pretty sweet lookin duo if ya ask me! Its nice riding a bird thats bigger than most of the mammoths I see around Dalaran!

Kommentar von 30904

Confirmed that it still drops in 3.3.2. It dropped after about 20 kills.

Now I have to help my wife get one. :)

Kommentar von 539231

I got it a few days ago. Am Resto, Boomkin but have gotten a few greed rolls for 219 and 232 feral tank gear. A few months ago I tried a few times with pretty bad gear - stealth to the room and then clear it. That was hard and usually didn't go well in one go without at least one death. Anyway, I went in this one time last week with this better gear and ~ 28k Health self buffed in bear form, a handful of health pots and a curiosity to see if I could clear the room and the boss with no death.

Well, the room was still a pain. Luckily I had read that Beserk clears fear (feral noob) and I used that whenever they feared me. And I did a much better job clearing the room making sure I only am fighting one group of 3-5 at a time.

I cleared the room and then slowly downed the boss. Looting the boss I got the mount. I was quite pleased. I can't see how many times I killed Anzu on the armory but I killed the boss before Anzu twice. I think that means I killed Anzu twice.

Of course I got Baron Rivendare Death Charger on the 4th kill. That boss you can see in your Armory.

Maybe I am just lucky getting mount drops.

I feel bad for people that have farmed these bosses > 100 times.

Kommentar von 541530

Dose anyone know if you can still get quest to get the key ? im a 80feral druid and prob. solo this for mount, or if anyone has key and is on realm Rexxar pst/write DECCA if you wanna run me thru and i will gladly pay you

Kommentar von 541530

i 4got to mention i alrdy have epic flying :P

Kommentar von 46452

The originally animated creature was the plainstrider. Those animations were used as a starting point for raptors and were modified slightly. Anzu was not actually animated uniquely and shares animations with either the plainstrider or the raptor though I'm not sure which since he was done after I left Blizzard.

Kommentar von 68223

I got REALLY lucky and got this mount on my first try. I was all hyped up and had set time all week to make sure I did it every day and got the hang of it, then pow, dropped first time. It made me a little sad. lol.

Kommentar von 547575

Got my druid buddy to help me farm for this mount. It dropped first try! I couldn't believe it. He didn't care for the mount, so pass on it for me. =)

Kommentar von 541530

So..If I have epic flying on my druid in WotLK can i still do quest to get key ?

If anyone has key on the realm Rexxar (alliance) Pst DECCA and I will gladly pay u to run me thru few times :)

Kommentar von 300253

Was bored today and decided to solo this for on my druid alt in her new offspec tanking gear, wasn't tricky at all, simply kept only the Eagle Spirit refreshed with Rejuv. I had great luck and it dropped first time =)

Kommentar von Ospreyfalcon

For my druid, it dropped today, after over hundred runs. I imagined the moment a bit more spectacular for me, I guess I still have to realize that the daily SH runs are over now. The only mount I really really wanted... I gave up once, and I am glad I didn't give up again.

The best of luck to everyone else, it does exist and will drop!

Kommentar von Ospreyfalcon

Yes you can and you have to if you want to get the Moonstone to summon.

However, you do need the key for heroic Sethekk, which means you might have to quest a bit more or grind the normal version of the instances to get revered.

Kommentar von 369594

Hello, I've been killing Anzu since last christmas on a daily basis and still I havent seen a mount drop. Am I doing something wrong or Im just really unlucky?

So I basically go inside ungrouped, stealth to his room -> kill all trash (Is it necessary to kill all the trash btw?) -> summon him and kill him -> no profit.

Help!

Kommentar von 263642

Got it today after almost daily runs since mid-December (approx. 70 runs). Bear-spec with cat gear kills him quickly with a full heath bar when he dies.

Kommentar von Conta123

it can drop! confirmed in 3.3 got mine today :D third run

Kommentar von 363415

Tell yourself to never give up if you really want this mount. I believe it's the prettiest land mount in the game and it's definitely worth the effort. Go for it daily and daily and daily. NON STOP! Grab a dedicated druid friend if possible. Good luck to all whose hunting for it. Cheers!

Kommentar von Reptilia

Mine dropped today. I'd estimate that I've done around 75 runs total since BC but only started keeping count recently. So after my 37th kill, it dropped. What's funny is that a guild mate who had farmed Anzu in resto for months had given up on it awhile ago up but decided to go in and kill him after I linked my achievement. Anzu dropped for him. Every druid in guild went nuts and decided to go into Sethekk to see if the luck would carry over. No one else got the mount to drop but 2 mounts in 1 day for the same guild is still pretty amazing.

Grats to myself and Kookie of <Dread> on Korgath. My continued wishes for all those who are farming this mount. Hopefully it will drop for you soon!

Kommentar von 271397

Also dropped for me first run =D

Ran it with a guildie that collects mounts. Told him I would duo it with him every day until he got it, but that he'd have to wait til I was 80 to make it easier, I just wanted to finish it at 70 for achievement and early SFF.

So we get there and struggle for about an hour (he's an ele shammy and was getting smacked around a bit, and my feral specced heals werent really amounting to much) and finally get to Anzu's room and clear it. I go down when Anzu has about 20% left, but my buddy is still able to finish him off (with my cheering, of course).

And the nice guy that he is, he rezzes me and doesn't even loot to see if it drops. Sure enough, when I looted, there it was. I pass on both, and he rolls a 100 on the mount. I figure it was good karma for helping me finish the questline, and getting me back up on my feet before looting the prize.

Good luck to everyone!

Kommentar von 369594

So, noone really answered my question, being ungrouped doesnt change his mount drop chance or anything similar?

Kommentar von 369594

Finally got mine yesterday!

After months of farming and about 100 kills. Just keep going guys, persistence is the key.

Good luck!

Kommentar von 449807

Dose this only drop on heroic or can the quest be done on normal difficulty?

Kommentar von 367622

What a shame that this mount turned out so ugly. I see people on these stating how they have "the prettiest mount in game, suck it" etc etc.

Yeah, congrats for riding around on an overstuffed pea@#$% >.> I'll gladly farm strat UD for the deathcharger over this.

Kommentar von helioz

I have been helping my friend get this mount for about the last month or so. Yesterday it dropped on our 16th run, VERY lucky.

Troll Shadowpriest looks amazing on this mount.

This was on patch 3.3 (the day before the 3.3.3 patch)

Kommentar von Chromell

Sounds like someone is frustrated cause his/her Raven Lord hasn't dropped yet.

Kommentar von 565189

The day of patch 3.3.3, after about my 15th run it dropped.

I would also like to add that as i was farming this item and duel boxing, i found it quicker to stealth through my druid, kill Ikiss then run my warrior up the side door.

Also note i did not read this in the previous comments, but i may have missed it - you are not required to kill all the packs in anzu's room, just the pack on the left (as if you were entering the room on a normal run) and then the two packs on the back right hand side.

Hope this helps.

Kommentar von NINKOjIN

Dropped after patch 3.3.3!

My Druid and Hunter friends and I (Rogue) started farming for this mount six days ago. It dropped on the sixth kill, which was today. It lagged to show up for rolling a few seconds, so I didn't think it dropped at first, but then I nearly had a heart attack when it did pop up.

Beautiful mount!

Kommentar von 415831

AT LAST! AT LAST! After farming this mount on and off since I got epic flight form in BC, it finally dropped last night, 3/30/2010. I was so excited I forgot to screenshot the drop box. My gf, who has been duoing it with me for a while, passed for me and I am so grateful. Long live the Raven Lord!

Kommentar von 568685

A great mount for Northrend.
BLASHYRKH'S MIGHTY RAVENDARK!

Kommentar von Carsomyr

That's the most impressive-looking mount I've seen.

Kommentar von 481678

To make the summoning process easier, I would clear the summoning room. Kill the Talon King as well, as this opens the door, so if you would wipe on Anzu the run back would be much shorter. If you are going it solo, kill the King first, then pull 1 group at a time from the summoning room into the King's chamber to kill them. The groups have a fear effect, and it's troublesome to be feared into another group of mobs.

The mount dropped for me this evening. I believe it was the third time I had summoned Anzu. I realize I am very lucky. I wasn't expecting it to drop...ever. I have run Stratholme so many times for the Baron's mount that I guess I am a bit jaded. I just thought I'd give this a chance. I'm not trying to taunt anyone with my good fortune, just thought I'd tell those that still farm this, to keep farming, it WILL drop. Now if you'll please excuse me, I'm off to Stratholme.

I have been running guild members through and summoning Anzu for a mount chance. I realized that sneaking in by myself is the most effective way. First kill the Talon King to open the back door, then have your friend use the staircase to come up the back way. This is much more effective than a fight through the instance.

Good Luck!

Kommentar von 278181

OMFG this beauty dropped on my 3rd run, the 2 previous runs i had brought in a mate to help out and would be willing to roll against him for it but as he didn wana do it during the day i decided i should go myself 30 mins before instances reset to get an extra run in and i couldn believe my eyes when it dropped!

I cant wait for my mate to log on to show him lol its gonna be priceless, for every1 else i really feel for u guys, and know how lucky i am, keep at it guys hope yas get it soon.

Kommentar von femaletremonti

Months of farming and no dice for me. Try #110 tomorrow...

Kommentar von 283684

It would seem that the drop rate has been increased, because I've seen quite a few people get this mount lately with less than 2 weeks of farming it.

The coolest flying mount (the mount i would probably kill someone for (lol)) is Ashes of Al'ar.

Kommentar von 579294

I just tried Anzu for the 1st time since TBC, Since I don't have any feral gear I just used my pally on another account. I had about 3700gs 1/2 tanking 1/2 dps gear(vendored my tanking set for some reason a while back).

It was pretty easy I was able to skip most packs, fighting Anzu I would switch to my druid when he went immune and cast rejuvenation on the eagle spirit and regrowth on pally. Took me about 20 mins for a run playing both characters.

In TBC I prob did about 4 runs and in Wrath I got it on my 1st try... time to start farming for the Baron's mount :P

Kommentar von 579418

Well.. Today morning it dropped. After a 153. try.

oh ya and this was my like mabey 2nd run ever here. and i won by 1 point on the roll.......my luck for the year just got used up! lol

Kommentar von StarlitRiot

I ran for 2 1/2 months with a guildie before he quit playing so about 70+ times. We would clear up to Anzu so i didnt have any ikiss kills to keep track. Finally I resorted to paying pug druids 100g a run with the offer of 5,000 if it dropped. I ran 11 times via killing ikiss and entering the back door and at least another 10 via clearing up to anzu's room. So in all i ran it about 90-100 times, maybe a little more since i have 139 badges of justice and only 11 are from ikiss and a few from the boss before anzu who we skipped 98% of the time unless he got accidentally killed.

Anyways my subscription ran out last night and i didnt get to go and i was sad i missed a day. Today my check cleared and even though it was like 2am server i decided to log on and try to find a druid to pug it with. Ended up running it with a random boomkin took us 5-10 minutes and he got 5,100 gold and i got my anzu mount finally after 3 months of horror. Im a mage btw so im so happy to have it finally.

Good luck to anyone else trying to get it! My druid friend it took him 3 months as well where as i know alot of people who it first 1-7 attempts. If you keep trying you'll def get it, take it from a happy mage!

Kommentar von 362176

got it today after 2 years of soloing. feels good man

Kommentar von whitehusky

I've solo'd Anzu over 50 times now off and on since July 2009. I've been killing him daily for the past month. Still no luck with the mount.

Kommentar von hudwo

I feel pity for u who farm so much for it and don't get a drop. :( I was just doing the questline for swift fly form for kicks (and cause I was bored) today. So the first time ever I killed the Raven Lord, I got the mount.

Good luck to all u farmers there!

Kommentar von 27271

Dropped on my second run. I was mentally preparing for a year of grinding Anzu.
As a feral bear I was surprised by the mobs and killed first time I was there, clearing Anzu's room. Have not done BC heroics in ages, forgot how nasty they are. The prophets fear, focus and kill them ASAP and try not to pull more than one trash pack unless you're massively overgeared. ILOTP heals nicely, but it doesn't heal for THAT much.

(Anzu was easy and boring of course. He is no threat to any bear.)

Kommentar von 501579

I had been farming this mount for a solid 8 months, every single day the first thing i would do would be to go to setthek halls and try to get the mount. Last week, it finally dropped, I was so happy i promised all my friends to take them to get theirs. Now I'm facing a great dilemma, whether which mounts will I use now. I have the Swift White Hawkstrider from MGT H and the Rivendare's Deathcharger. At the moment I 'm using a random mount addon because I can't choose XD Anyone running this instance, don't give up, it DOES drop, at the end it's just luck

Kommentar von 591009

Finally after almost 3 months of everyday farming i got it :). If it helps i will say everything i did

Went into the instance as feral druid stealthed past first boss which i never did before. I noticed that in the area where you spawn raven-lord there was two prophets in almost everygroup i was like wtf maybe its a sign. And it was! the mount finally dropped.

Kommentar von 343290

over 200 runs here, never seen one.

I'm not giving up, and i asked a GM whether it would be possible to stitch all those Talons of Anzu into a full bird, who knows :)

Kommentar von 39713

I can also confirm it still drops in patch 3.3.3. After doing 67 runs, the pain is finally over. I can now enjoy this beauty, that i've wanted since it was released. And for the people still farming it, don't give up! I had my doubts about continueing after the first months, but with the right dedication you will get it! A little screenie to get your hopes up: http://img94.imageshack.us/i/finallyi.jpg/

Funny fact: I had done ALL my runs right after i came home from school, but the day it dropped i decided to go out drinking instead. I got so drunk that i went home and fell asleep. Then i did the run later in the evening, and it dropped! So guys and gals, alcohol may help on the droprate! Or maybe not.. However, good luck to all of you both ingame and irl :)

Edit: Screenshot bug ;)

Kommentar von 571275

So yeah in china we are stuck at level 70, so just now after a terrible Sunwell run, i decided to see how my luck was and it dropped! I rolled and won with a 25...which was just so funny. My chinese guildies were going crazy... third raven in our guild so far~~ Next is Tiger mount...78 runs and counting!

Everyone hang in there, it will drop for you!

Can't really say how many times I've did it, I lost track.. I almost gave up on it too. Started off farming it with a rogue mate first, but he got bored easily so I had to do it on my own.. Took moonkin as offspec and farmed it for about 4-5 weeks alone, everyday. Been exalted with Lower City God knows how long now lol.. I probably killed Anzu less then 40-50 times, all together. Today it finally dropped, I just looted him expecting usual crap to drop and BAM - there it was! Looks awesome! Never give up guys, it might drop when you least expect it! Good luck to everyone who's farming it still!

Kommentar von 612055

Had to sign up here just for this because its been the craziest 2 weeks of WoW I have ever had, and probably will ever have...

First off I got Swift White Hawkstrider on the very first run (the 2nd time I ever did MGT on Hc)... I didnt even think about the mount, I just went there for rep as I am going for The Exalted, and the mount dropped. Pretty cool.

Then as I started to farm rep with Lower City I got a druid guildmate to join me once a day to summon Anzu in Sethekk Halls Hc. On the 4th day Reins of the Raven Lord dropped for me... Wow... I have heard of people farming this for more than 300 days and never got it. Pretty sick!

This alone is pretty crazy. At least I think so. But there is more:

I have been soloing Molten Core for 27 straight weeks in seek of Eye of Sulfuras, wich according to this site has a 2% droprate. And finally last week it dropped for me, and I was so happy to finally create my Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros! Then, on the next reset, I went into Molten Core again and brought with me a few guildmates who just dinged level 55. One of them is supposed to be a level 60 twink, and me being a blacksmither had already created Sulfuron Hammer for him long ago, so he only needed The Eye from Ragnaros. Yeah sure thing, I thought. Wont happen! Well guess what? It dropped! Back to back weeks I saw The Eye drop. The odds for this to happen is 2500 to 1. So if my math isnt completely off here I figure that you have to run Molten Core each and every week - for 96 years! - before you ever see The Eye drop in back to back weeks... Statistically that is. I was just freaked out! Could not belive it. I almost refuse to belive it happend.

Funny thing to see a level 55 obtain Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros after his very first Molten Core clear - and that he can't even equip it yet... :D

Oh and yeah, the very same run in Molten Core I also got Bindings of the Windseeker...

Swift White Hawkstrider 3% droprate - got it in 1 run
Reins of the Raven Lord 1.4% droprate - got it in 4 runs
Eye of Sulfuras 2% droprate - dropped 2 times in 2 runs!
And also Bindings of the Windseeker 3% droprate

All within 2 weeks. Hows that you think..?

Im a warrior so I had to find a druid willing to take me in there everyday and that wasn't an easy task.
I started with asking a guildie to run SH with me till I get the raven lord and that I'll be runing H MGT with her till she gets the White Hakstrider. She got the bird on the second run and never runed SH with me after this. Her reason was "Sorry don't have the time". :/
Finally, i started asking in trade everyday for a druid, paying 100g for the run. A nice druid that already got his wanted to run me for free till I get the magnificent raven. Unfortunatly, I feel like he is growing tired of the instance and that I will soon lose him too. :(

One thing I know is that the mount will drop the day I will stop "hoping" for it everytime I kill Anzu. That will take a loooooong time. I just hope that my druid pal will not abandon me anytime soon.

One of my guildie is runing H SH daily since WOTLK came out and he has yet to see the mount drop. Im scared to end up like him, lol.

Over 170 runs, still no drop, Over 300 rivendare runs and 200 polar bear daily, the same with zg, mgt etc. Its just no luck or sth more?

my brother and i farmed this for about a year till we both got it. Thats a lot of runs so we definitely earned it...GL to other farmers its the coolest looking mount imo

Kommentar von 502238

Got mine a couple of hours ago, I'm still quite ecstatic about the whole ordeal, I'm guessing it was at around my 70'th run, I've got 56 official Ikiss kills, but I didn't kill him (trash pack before him gave me a abit of trouble the first times I tried killing them, so I gave up on that for a while.).
I just want to wish every single druid farming for it the best of luck, hang in there, you WILL get it in the end.
A couple of things that will surely help you with farming this mount;

1) ALWAYS keep a positive attitude. Thinking to yourself "Today I WILL get the mount!" will eventually help you.
2) Do it every single day, routinely. I spent about 12-13 minutes on every single run, that is killing all 3 bosses and all trash in Anzu's room.
3) Revel in the fact that when you get the mount, you can make a lot of people jealous. Worth it big time.

26.06.10. first solo run. Feral dps Druid (0/55/16) with offspec 5.5k gs. mostly 251ilvl arp gemed. in bear 29k hp and armor. selfbuffed. spamming Lacerate, Mangle, Maul. when he gets immune cast regrowth and reju and swipe birds. didnt use any CD's. no barkskin, berserk, Frenzie regen. easy as hell. trash nuked in cat (SR+swipe+barkskin+tigers fury) . Good Luck to everyone !

Kommentar von ziberia

Make sure you kill Talon Ikiss first, if you wipe at Anzu you can take the short cut back if Talon is dead.

And don't stop just because it didn't drop on the first try!

Edit: Removed irrelevant picture.

Kommentar von Chlorure

Still runing this boss daily for the mount.

It hurts everytime I see someone on this bird in Dalaran. Yes, im jealous! I want this mount so bad! The first time I saw this mount was when I started playing WoW and I promised myself that I will get it.

Every time an epic gem drops I nearly have an heart attack. DAMN YOU PURPLE TEXT, I HATE YOU.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

What the hell is this? where does it drop? :P

Here's me and my mount.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This mount can only be obtained by the summonable boss in Heroic Sethekk Halls. A druid who has completed the quests chain to get the quest reward, "Essence-Infused Moonstone" can summon him. This use to be the only way to get the epic flight form pre-wotlk. The boss has a small chance of dropping this mount. It is not a 100% drop. I think the numbers work to be about 1 in 100. If you take in lvl 80s you'll need 3 people. A tank, a healer and a dps. The boss goes down quick but does stuns that make the fight longer than need be. If you are into achievement the last boss in Sethekk halls is in the next room.

Good luck on hunting this mount.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

whats that ? a giant Chicken ?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Its a black chocobo! i love it!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

this thing looks like a raptor hawkstrider mix. i want it. 1st thing ill do at 70 is get druids together and annihilate sethek halls! hexxuh lv 23 warrior server shu-halo

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm a druid with epic flight form and I finally got it after farming for it for about a week. I was the first to roll and won with a 100, lol. He's so cute!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got it today with my epic flight form
Ansirem-Druid-Ravenholdt

Kommentar von Allakhazam

A druid tank with more than 30,000 hp can solo this boss with out many problems, be sure to clear the room and the hallway before u summon. Throw up a heal when Anzu summons more birds. I have done it twice so far, only died on mobs.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got it after 49 runs, easy solo dual spec. Stealth to Anzu room, clear it out and down the boss, while your there the final boss is just in the next room. More items to vendor trash. Put up a screen shot

Level 80 Resto/tank Dual spec Druid.. Nyssareen on Moonrunner

Kommentar von Allakhazam

So if I didn't finish the quest and restarted it, could I just repeat until I got my roll on it? :-D Anyone try this?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ever notice that the raptors like to use feathers to decorate themselves?

Maybe they want to be a chocobo. THis one succeeded. =P

I wish I have one.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This thing looks Frikkin sweet.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

it is a 100 % speed mount, epic riding mount can't fly. but that is okay cause then you can use it in Azeroth

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It's a raven...why doesn't it fly like one? Silliness.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I defintely want to get this mount. If anyone's on twisting nether and wants a farming party to get them, I'm your priest!

Aies - 70

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Handed in the quest for Swift Flight Form, the moonstone was REMOVED from my keychain. I just snuck back into the summon area - NO raven claw to put the stone into is there now. So, if you did the long quest chain to get the mount do NOT hand the quest in.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Yes it drops from druid epic flight boss, just dropped for me on Steamwheedle Cartel Eu.

made me very happy

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Sweet looking mount. It should be a little bigger though.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

speed?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Droped today on Twisting Nether, I won with a 77 :D
The fight itself is easy, just finding druids who need the fight is the hard part lol.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

how does it look like?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I have to go againts other posters opinions here and simply say that the mount looks f-u-g-l-y! I mean I never liked the ZG raptor and never saw baron mount but that one is just unbelievably ugly mount...

Then again opinions are like asses: everyone has one.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got this a few days ago from Anzu. It was my first time in Heroic Sethekk Halls :) I tied the paladin with a roll of 91 and in the second round I rolled an 80 and he rolled a 50.

It currently looks terrible in Shadowform... the armor turns invisible, so his head has a hole in it and the wings and ankles look skeletal.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Is it possible for the druid to get one for himself? Or is it only for the other party members?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got him today, lucky me,

with party of druid feral, prot pala, priest and hunter and me arcane/fire mage. on aszune server.

we did him in 1 time, good party, was random pickup party :)

Magico - mage 70
Paladinges - Healadin 70

Kommentar von Allakhazam

We saw this tonight. Dropped from Anzu, the druid-summoned boss in Heroic Sethekk Halls. He dropped this and a blue shaman ring which was sharded.

It's an extremely cool looking LAND mount. Not sure how rare it is, but I'm thinking "not very" considering we saw it on our first kill.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Can that mount fly errr

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Awesome Mount! I've only ever seen 1 of them though.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

won it today on my shadow priest, its so flippen cool in shadow form. won with a 96.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

what do u get when a hawkstrider and a raptor mate?=\ seriously blizz is getting lazy there r like 5 mounts with the horse model and now 2 with the raptor?=\

Kommentar von Thottbot

OK... sure it looks cool, but does anyone else think its totally lame that the damned bird cant fly?

Kommentar von Thottbot

yes i can be used in azeroth, i'm standing in org on it right now... by far the sweetest looking mount in game...yes it is lame that a bird can't fly, but he does have tiny wings

Kommentar von Thottbot

Can anyone say raptor model with feathers?

Kommentar von Thottbot

hmm... so this is like a Chocobo! xD

Kommentar von Thottbot

Looks like a raptor fell into some glue and rolled around in feathers.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i think we should just pluck its feathers and eat it

Kommentar von Thottbot

Everyone in Outland is cool anyway, so the coolness factor won't apply there. Also with everyone lagging in Shattrath anyway they won't even see your mount ("Huh, what did I just saw, a chicken?" *lagged away*). Just imagine standing with this in Orgrimmar tho with all the noobs who just got their level 40 mount at level 55 looking up to you. :P

I want this, prolly never going to get this. This is one of those items you only get when you're really, REALLY lucky. Unfortunately that's mostly the biggest *!@#$%^s on the server, too, instead of the really nice ones that deserve a reward now and then.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Technically you're riding Anzu given the fact this mount looks exactically like. So if you have this mount it means you made the Raven'lord your *!@#$

Kommentar von Thottbot

This mount was probably created so more people would want to help the druids with their quests because they can get a reward themselves.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Yes, it can only be done if a druid has the epic flight form quest or if they already completed it and have the orb thing (can't remember what it's called) to summon Anzu.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ok, since I usually come here to troll and check the Deathcharger forum of thottbot, Ill pitch this idea to ya'll.

In the past week, in my guild 2, yes 2 lucky farks have gotten the raven lord...since having none drop since it has been out.

Now, it may sounds far fetched but I believe that ALL rare mounts are now a 1 in 100 drop chance, its not out of the realm of possibility, but this is just a thought.

Vote this down if you disagree, vote up if you agree I will check back here at another time.

What I stated before could be pure, shear, awe-inspiring luck..

Its your call, posters and trollers of thottbot, make it count.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just soloed Anzu as a level 80 restoration druid. I stealthed in to the instance to Anzu, touching no mobs. I then used the soothe animal ability on 'Cobalt Serpent', to get in range of orb to activate the boss fight. Once spawned, I stood in the position shown in the screenshot, then just used the 2 macro's which activated the Eagle Spirit (aoe damage) and Falcon Spirit (haste) with rejuvenation spell for the entire fight.

Doing this took 40 minutes to kill him without directly hitting him (The timer shown in screenshot was started at 50% health, finishing the fight at the 20min mark).

During this time Anzu never moved from his spawn spot, at 66% and 33% health, he did NOT banish and didn't call down the bird adds. Once I got him down to 5k health, I hit with star/moonfire to kill him (just incase i wouldn't get credit for the kill (Note: at that point he became aggro and attacked me)).

Unfortunately after this 40 minute effort, he didn't drop the mount.

Good luck.

Update: Just got the raven mount using the method shown above, on chirstmas day :) . Happy hunting.

Kommentar von Thottbot

My fiance and I are on our 46th run as of later today. Since we ran it in BC quite a few times, I lost track.. more than likely we are between our 46th-55th run, maybe more, but likely not. Not once have we seen it. None of my Guildies have it, nor friends. Now he and I multi-box it with my Druid who can summon Anzu, as we're 80. He knows how badly I want it, and is going to pass the Reins to me. :D

As drop rates can't be trusted, it's hard to keep faith not knowing how much chance we really have. But we keep running it daily, and are not going to miss another unless we utterly have to. After all, it's only once a day.

I'm wondering how many of you who got it, when did you get it... During BC, during Lich? Approximately how many runs did it take you? I'm curious! And how many others have it on your server? For us, I've seen 8.

For those of you still farming it, may luck be with us. That's all it really is based on after all. I will keep you all posted, I hope those of you who're after it do the same!

Update: In the 70's of runs now, I'll update when I get him! :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

Since BC I've run Sethekk close to 60 times, well over half that number has been since I've been 80. I do it everyday either solo or with a Paladin friend since soloing it is painfully long, it takes 40 minutes of hots to kill Anzu, that does not include the time it takes to stealth through and kill King Ikiss to get some easy cash and open the back door.

I run this everyday, no matter what. I'll update WHEN I get him.

Best of luck to all you suckers doing the same!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Anzu dropped TODAY. And 1 hour later Baron's mount dropped. 101 runs on Baron, 3 months on Anzu.
Good luck !

Kommentar von Thottbot

Drop chance it's 0.8 % on Anzu
1 % on Baron's mount
2 % on Swift White hawkstrider
0.6 % on Raptor
1% % on Zulian Tiger
1.5 % on Phoenix from TK
0.8 % - Kara from Atumen.

I am trying to make the "Mountain'o Mounts" achievement (100 mounts). I got 91 mounts now, including Blizzcon mount, Amani War Bear, 3 rare drops that you see in the picture, Plague proto-drake from Glory of the raider, Green Proto-Drake and red Proto-drake.

Got all possible reputation mounts, and all PvP mounts aswell , except the 2 Hala talbuks.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Holy *!@#, I just got my Ravenlord on run 4!

Now, this isn't a bragging post, but heres one thing to take into account.

I've run Strath no less than 400 times, never saw the mount, but saw the sword.

Ive seen 11 hawks drop on the DK, thank god I won one of them.

And then after doing 4 runs with a druid mate who has his own, I finally get my raptor with feathers.

2 weeks before I lost the roll on the ZG tiger.

GL guys, it WILL drop if you commit to it, or luck the #$%^ out like me.

It finally dropped for me last night after 39 runs! Worth every run! Takes commitment and patience more than anything, it was worth every run! I have wanted this mount since I first saw it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

^ Raven fetish.

Gratz ^_^

Kommentar von Thottbot

Reins of the Raven Lord is gray now... guess this means that hoggers loot table must have been expanded!

Kommentar von Thottbot

if i turn in the quest fro killing anzu did i just screw my self out of being able to summon him agin or can i get the moonstone again? really hope i didnt just screw myself over :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

99 tries....99 Kills still no mount...if I get to 200 without getting the mount I am writing Blizzard a very nasty letter..

Kommentar von Thottbot

Since so many have been complaining about the dropchance and what the actual properbility is to obtain it(in theorie after 100 runs, but thats not happening right?)
Therefore i've made a program to actually test this.

First i needed to find out, if 1% drop chance actual is 1% drop chance, the programm did a run through an fake instance, with 1% chance to get a drop.Did it 50 000 times.It dropped 498 times, so 1% dropchance actually is 1 dropchance.Hurray.

More interisting would be to know, how big my chances are to have obtained Ravenlord after X runs, i made it keep doing runs, until it dropped and then saving the data, how many times it had to do the run, before it dropped.
It did 1 million runs(6 hours...) and dropped about 10000 times.(the more runs, the more accurate).

But before you look at the results, we need to clarify something about the chances.Since the dropchance really is 1 out of 100 as shown above, its far more likely for a person to get his drop in the first 100 runs, than getting it after 1000 runs.
Because:Doing 1000 runs without a drop is even more unlikely,the highest non-drop streaks were about 750-900 runs, after that, it just started to drop.
This means, that it's more likely to drop sooner than later, since the high-nondrops actually are more unlikely to achieve.

The results were:
After 10 runs your chance to have dropped Ravenlord is:9,81%
After 20 runs:18,41%
After 30 runs:26,54%
After 40 runs:33,47%
After 50 runs:39,56%
After 60 runs:45,43%
After 70 runs:50,8%
After 80 runs:55,72%
After 90 runs:59,67%
After -100- runs:63,83%
After 110 runs:67,43%
After 120 runs:70,8%
After 130 runs:74,05%
After 140 runs:76,5%
After 150 runs:79,99%
The last 20% drops are somewhere between 151 and 1000 runs.

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4417/ravenlorddropchance.png

As you can see, after 10 runs,your properbility to have dropped the mount is nearly what it should be:10 runs=9,81%(nearly 1 to 100.)
But its decreasing, after 50 runs, your chance is on 39,56% and not 49,56%, its decreasing because:When they get the mount dropped, they stop doing the instance, thats why the most drops are sooner than later, every drop has the same chance, but there is 0% chance for dropping at run 50, if it allready dropped at 49, the thought up "streak" is over.

What this means:
In this diagramm, you are too.Allthough i cant predict or determine when you will get the drop, i still know that you are somewhere on this list, in one of these numbers.The drops here, are the same as they would happen in wow.Thats just have properbility in our world works.
So which number are you?If you havent started the instance, you could be any of these numbers.
Nearly 10% of all people trying, will get the mount after 10 runs and 80% would at least have it after 150 runs.
So if you have done 11 runs, you KNOW you arent in the first 10% of the drops.That means, you only have to "search" the last 90% of the drops after your "number".And after 150 runs, only 20%.
It might sound odd to funktion like this, but in the big picture, of all combined runs and drops, it makes perfectly sence to view your runs like this.
Allthough there is a 0,0000001(etc.)procent chance that you will never get the drop, but that's incredible unlikely, it's more likely that you are a part of this diagram, and therefor actually should keep on running the instance after 150 mindraping runs, since you are going into the last 20%.
So actually, properbility wise(in the big picture), its more likely you get the mount, if you allready have done alot of runs.

I've done 6 runs myself.

And no, it hasn't dropped.

Kommentar von deepspace8

It was TBC Timewalking this week and I decided to solo some of these places for rep. I went back and did Lower City rep. I was cleaning out my inventory later and noticed this. I didn't even realize I got the drop. I'm not really lucky with rare mount drops. Usually I end up buying them off the BMAH.
