The license plate of these motorcycles says: "PWN"

It also seems like this will be one of those mounts which will be able to mount two persons at one time.

Finally I can enjoy an awesome mount without leveling to the highest rank of engineering.

Commento di 201482

well if it does require engineering then i hope DK's (when i create one of course) will be able to start with normal 55 related profession levels... like 250 or something so then we at least start out like everything else, then Dk's will look UBER

Commento di AsgardTM

This mount CAN be used in Azeroth! It's also made via engineering.

When summoned, instead of a buff that increases your speed, you are placed ontop of a vehicle with approx. 5k health. It takes fall damage for you, and CAN blow up.. :-| However! You currently take no fall damage at all upon impact. It cannot be used in water/indoors just like normal mounts. Also, when mounting/dismounting there is a short animation of you climbing on/off the bike, but during this animation you cannot move or attack. This may or may not be bug.. :-|

I am in beta and I can confirm this.

As much as i'd love to believe this, it seems very unlikely that they would undo all other mount rules (own hp, fall damage, mounting animation). The blowing up at times I can believe due to engineering. Any chance you could provide a video of these things happening, along with the mounts HP indicators?

Commento di Agilhardt

The bike is capable of carrying a passenger with no modifications. To give someone a lift, invite them to your party then have them click on the bike when their icon turns to the new mount arrow icon.

Commento di Rilgon

Well, hope no one was actually keeping Engineering specifically for this mount like I was. If you were, better start planning out your new profession now, because Blizzard, in their infinite wisdom, is making these available to EVERYONE.

Commento di 164598

I don't think people are understanding what's going on here...

At the moment, the bike is available to everybody for a paultry 5 gold. The devs have flat-out said the reason for this is because there are a few more bugs to test on it, so they want everybody to have fun and use it.

When the game goes live, this WILL be an ENGINEER ONLY mount. In fact, the Alliance Vanguard/Warsong Hold rep vendors are already selling the schematic, and it clearly shows a 450 Engineering requirement.

Guys, there is a reason the motorcycle is on vendors for 5 gold. We're trying to hammer out all of the bugs before declaring it ready for prime time.

Commento di 117477

Me being an engineer am somewhat disappointed that its not engineering only, like all these past comments have said Engineering is really hard to level and costs a lot, and sure you'd be making some money back with these but why a mount? Its not like an alchemists potions where its a one time use thing, with one of these mounts you buy one and your set, so us engineers will be making roughly 20g on a tip and we wont ever make money again, i say make this mount BoP and give us something else to sell, like maybe making our grenades available to all players, or making some of the mats we make required by some other professions. These are only options but i really don't think this mount is the best solution to engineering being such a gold sink. What with all these new enchantments i'm sure blizz can come up with a few different enchantments that are slightly less effective than the engineering ones, but are still useful, engineering still needs its perks besides goggles so that someone may choose it over say LW or Enchanting.

Edit: Just found the perfect example for making money as an engineer: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=37567#created-by

The Choppah is BoE So we engineers can get some extra pocket money, I really can't see the problem, Looking at the mats of that thing I wouldn't say everybody will be able to get it.

Funny enough blizzard did say that you dont have to be an eng to ride the mount, BUT keep in mind it is a 2 person mount and they could mean that the passenger does not have to be an eng. Think about it this is blizzard we are talking about, they do sneaky stuff all the time. All in all though my main is eng and looking forward to it, i heard rumors is it going to have 280% ground speed or 100?

Commento di 243261

The thing about engineering is that it doesn't MAKE any money ever.

Now you're talking complete BS. Engineering is a profession that can make good money crafting various quest items, at different levels. But it's generally the engineers themselves that price themselves out of the market, causing people not to bother with such quests at all. I noticed how 1g in mats tends to translate into 20g selling value for engineers.

Well, here's another good method to get rich easy it seems. Total mats for these mounts will probably be in the range of 600-800g. So expect avarage AH values as high as 9000g, since people will not only want them for show, but need them for their achievement as well.

Making another example as of why engineering doesn't make money: simply because engineers are generally PvP scrubs who want to make money without putting in any effort. Good thing the avarage raiding guild comes with engineers too, who will probably be more realistic about their income, and charge more like materials + 200-300g.

So expect to see many people riding them, but don´t expect to sell any yourself.

Commento di Shorty

Just an fyi:

The special parts for this thing require engineering to be purchased and cost 12500g total. In other words, for someone to put this on the AH, the price at a minimum has to be 12500g for them to even break even; and they had to have had 12500g to begin with... and that's not factoring in the cobalt, titansteel, and arctic furs.

tl;dr: You're not gonna see this up on the AH for 500g and everyone and their mothers riding around in one. It's over twice as expensive as epic flying SKILL.

Commento di 243475

Oh yeah what does leatherworking require, skinning, what does tailoring require, linen, enchanting, greens which you can make from, blacksmithing, tailoring anything with weapon and armor greens. Now engineering that takes mining, skinning, linen and pretty much jewelcrafting if you want to get all the mats yourself. So @!#% OFF!

BTW unless they take of the Get To The Choppa! achivement this is always gonna be BoE

Commento di 243898

This will stay usable for everyone on live, the reason is because there is an achievement for having the mount, bliz only gives achivements that's atainable for everyone, if it's not it would be a feat of strength.

Commento di 226474

So what does "1 Elementium-Plated Exhaust Pipe - 1500 (Limited Supply)" mean? Do the exhaust pipes replenish at the vendor or is that 1500 bikes per server, period? If that's the case, then the supply of Exhaust pipes will limit accessibility to this mount far, far more than the materials cost. No engineer with measurable brain wave activity would sell this baby unless the price was IRL currency.

If that mount is a motorcycle, then how will it jump to get past obstacles ? O___o

Commento di Reanna

So what exactly is the big draw of this expensive vehicle now that we can fly through Northrend? It's only effectively usable in Azeroth (snooore) and Dalaran as a way of showing everyone that you used to have 13000g. Not to mention the animation time on mounting and dismounting make this a deal-killer for people who actually do things like PVP or kill mobs. I've maxed out engineering and I'm working towards exalted, but I just don't know if I should bother now.

Special note, the mount has it's own HP and acts like a pet. Basically, this means you can jump from any distance, the mount will take the damage, dismount you and you are just fine. Kinda neat.

Stop complaining about items like this one that do not require a certain level of engineering to use. I wouldn't care if half the server had the same mount as mine, since i myself like it and enjoy it. For instance, i still find netherdrakes awesome despite the fact half the server has one now.

I am no engineer (well that's pretty much obvious) but i love that kind of silly stuffs. Should i not be able to use them because you want to stand out by having a rare, and funny mount? No sir!

Someone loan me 1.2k gold so I can buy my last pistons and make this thing.

On a serious note: This is very well farmable. The only issue I had was saronite bars to level my engineering to 450. Just run a lot of heroics and mindless questing almost anywhere in Northrend to get Horde Expedition reputation. I started this quest with about 8000 gold in my pocket from getting to 80 and farming Netherwing rep before wotlk release.

Enjoy your mindless hours farming for titanium or saronite to sell on the AH to get money for those vendor items!

Commento di 254275

I made the Hog today after around a week and a half of WoTLK launching. Rep with Horde Expedition is very easy to gain from dailies and instance runs. I was 12'000/21'000 when I hit 80 from questing alone.

This mount can jump on the spot, unlike other mounts which require some movement to jump. I'm sure this will come in handy somewhere but I haven't found a use for it yet!

It can be buffed with useful buffs such as water walking which is obviously very handy. Although at present aspect of the pack does not appear to work. Aspect of the pack does work on the Mammoth mount as far as i'm aware.

Upon mounting a pet par appears which only has an attack button on it. This currently does nothing, but perhaps engineers will be able to add upgrades to the bikes in future patches?

Jumping off Dalaran's ledges is great fun, 10 seconds of freefall! Since i'm the first on my server with the mount people have actually paid me money to do this because of the novelty value. I even got 10g to ride someone around for a minute.

The only niggle I have with it is the time taken to dismount. This is a big disadvantage from a PVP perspective and I hope Blizz will change it soon. You are seriously gimping yourself if you use it whilst PVPing at the moment.

Commento di 150494

Got the rep to make this easily doing instances and created mine a few days ago (Was first on server to get 450 Engineer and first on server to get bike (Still only on server i think)).

I was wondering what would be a good price to charge for a crafting fee? I dont want to make it cheap because then it wont have uniqueness anymore.

Commento di gibblett06

i dont understand why all of you are complaining about how much money this costs to make. just look at the Reins of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth. it costs 20000g just to buy from the vendor without rep discounts. its a status symbol just like the Mechano-hog. people riding around on the mammoth are just showing off that they had the 20k g. its the same with all the mounts imo. Roflcopter = eng showing off....whether or not they think they are. its just showing all of us, not lucky enough to be engineers that that person is an engineer. i think that if you have the money, you are entitled to this crazy expensive mount.

Commento di armyantsrule

Here are some things to keep in mind about this wonderful mount.

-Price tag for this mount, depending on server prices, can be anywhere from 13000 gold to 18000 gold (possibly more, all depending on prices for titansteel, cobalt, and arctic fur).
-It does not require engineering to USE.
-HOWEVER, to obtain the Iron Golem Parts, Elementium-plated Exhaust Pipe, and the Goblin-machined Pistons, an engineer must have the schematic learned (meaning the engineer must have 450 engineering AND exalted reputation with the Horde Expedition to buy/learn the schematic). The vendor will only sell the special parts if the engineer has learned the schematic (this means, at some point, that you either have to hand over 12500g to the engineer to buy the parts, or you have to do a trade of parts for money through the trade window). A non-engineer cannot buy the parts.
-It does have its own health bar, and will take fall damage for you. If the damage exceeds the health, the motorcycle will disappear and you will jump off it. Simply re-summon it (it is a learned mount, so it will never disappear once you have learned it).
-If you are riding it alone, it does not have the side-car attached. If you are partied with someone, the side-car will pop out if they choose to join you on the motorcycle.
-This mount can be used anywhere that allows a normal level 40 epic mount (ex: Skeletal Warhorse).
-Falling in this mount will damage both the driver and the rider for the same percentage of health.
-Slowfalling the driver will allow the driver and a passenger to ride off together (into an epic sunset, perhaps).
-It is possible to get the vendor-items discounted, bringing the total price from 12500g to 11250 gold for those items. (10% of 12500g is 1250g. 12500-1250=11250.)

Not confirmed yet:
-Apparently, I've heard you can carry flags with this in Warsong Gulch.
-Polymophing does not work on a player who is mounted on this.

Edits: fixes were made long ago to ensure this mount acted as other mounts do. Players can be polymorphed/feared/etc now (for a few months, they were a separate target from the motorbike itself).

They have also fixed flag carrying in the side car.

I'm actually glad this isn't a BoP type like all the other Mounts which are listed.

That is until they notice their missing one Titansteel Bar...

I'm going to assume that just as with the Tundra Mount I purchased and returned for my 20,000g back, that this mount has annoying features which for me stood as a deal breaker. Here's the post which includes a screen shot of some of the issues I had with the Tundra mount as well as how I got the refund:
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=12891212471&sid=1

Some issues this likely shares with the Tundra Mount:
1. The mount requires too much time to mount and dismount - an extra .5 second - Very annoying. An expensive mount should activate instantly or in LESS time.
2. Clicking forward on the mount upon using it often sends it running in reverse direction from the direction faced upon mounting it.
3. When mounted, there is an odd spot for actually being able to speak to NPC's or use the mailbox. It's off to the left side and is much more difficult than with a standard swift ground mount.
4. When traversing shallow water (puddles, or even the UC canals) this mount ejects you, whereas standard swift ground mounts do not.
5. On any other ground mount you can cast a spell or attack a mob and it automatically dismounts you and you're instantly able to combat mobs. With this mount if you approach and aggro a mob, you can't immediately attack, instead, the mobs are on you while you have to perform the extended, animated dismount. Those precious seconds are often the difference between winning and losing, and in this case are ALWAYS a disadvantage from what we're used to on a standard mount.
6. This mount cannot /follow another mount.

I made it a few weeks ago and theres two things that really annoy me. This no way to kick people out. so in a random battlegroup anyone can jump in. Second, the dismount takes at least a second and spins you around. On another note there is a trade bug where you cannot at the moment get traded whilst on the hog. Oh, did i mention that this isnt affected by crusader aura? A GM told me that its a "vehicle" and not affected by mount mechanics. So, all in all i am disappointed. If this is a vehicle then let it have some unique features. I think it was overall around 16k and other than looking badass and never dieing from fall dmg it kinda a let down overall.

OK so i lied about only two things annoying me.

It's really hard to target people driving this thing. In pvp, you end up targeting and attacking the bike, not the players. That is extremely frustrating.
It can carry flags in warsong gulch.
Looks to me it is way to overpowered.

It's not OP its a siege vehicle, meaning it has its own health and that makes it not so much a mount, it is a mount but i hope you understand what i mean, now if it had a cannon mounted on front and could do damage to other players then id agree with you :D

Commento di 201212

I feel like I have to correct a few minor misconseptions here:

I made the bike today (YAY!), and the materials were 12.5k vendor materials and roughly 3.7k from the Auction House. The player made materials constitutes by far the lesser part of the cost here. So farming your way to this sweet hog is not really possilble. Unless you too think of farming the way I do: "Farm whatever earns you the most money, and then buy what you need yourself." Why not?
As already pointed out this total amount of money (~16k in my case) is a lot. This means only a few people will buy it. And although I agree with above poster that tipping 10g for this mount is terribly cheap, I'm afraid the huge tips will be far between. Put together this unfortunately (for us hobby tinkerers) means that this bike is hardly a money maker at all. I guess you'll profit more from selling the epic guns you can make at maximum skill.
Last off I want to point out that this mount is totally superior to the Travelers Tundra Mammoth in terms of coolness. And for what other reason than style would you buy a >10k mount anyway? Are the repairman and vendor on the Mammoth really that handy? Nay! If you really need these, hire an engineer to make you a repairbot and a vendorbot instead ;) Oh, and the bike is more expensive too!

Commento di Eteryu

It appears that Alliance characters will be able to obtain this mount, as Horde will be able to obtain the Mekgineer's Chopper, through the wonders of the Neutral auction house. So if you're REALLY after some big money, you may want to consider placing one of these on the neutral AH.

one question, can you increase the speed of this mount with the dk talent "on a pale horse " ?

Commento di 156973

This mount isnt effected by Path of Frost which seems to be the only vehicle ground mount thats not effected by its since Grand Ice Mammoth and the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth are affected by it. Finding this out myself made me /cry

So be sure if your riding this mount with your DK friend, don't drive into the water, less you two be drowning!

And btw it's been fixed on multiple ocasions with able to carry flag carriers in wsg, hasn't worked for me anymore. Learned that in a more failing way.

Very fun mount though and I love it very much, and I would have to after spending 22k gold worth of mats for this thing and getting on it 13 days after wotlk launch. Titansteel Bars going for 2000g each back then. ugh D:

Commento di 57123

What's the speed of this?

Commento di 94144

Blizzard is basically give you guys a rather nice money maker.

One of these on Ysondre first sold for about 19k, now averaging 16-18k, ((100g+ tip is NOT shabby considering hey, they did grind thorium, and then saronite give them SOME credit you cheap bastards)).

They did "kind" of the same thing with smithing and the new weapons and such. Sure there seems to be a limited selection, but people are willing to buy and people are willing to sell. If you are not either, then tough money will exchange other hands.

For those insisting still that it should be BoP I have this to say. If your car manufacturer made the car, showed it to you but then said "No, sorry, only car makers can use it." Wouldn't you "wtf"? ((Yes I know its a game but logic wins))

Commento di 147680

Ah, this is interesting, when the patch realeased i learned my swift red wind-rider it bugged up and didn't disappear, and since this is not soulbound and shouldn't be that either since it disappears when you use it, maybe im lucky and it will be bugged up and not disappear and then i get a free hog ^^

Commento di 287191

I have a question.
Can you craft while sitting on this mount?
I mean, like Disenchant, craft JC things, etc?

Commento di 220141

Hey all! I've been looking at the comments and have seen many comments such as: "This mount will be a hefty toll on your gold."

I agree, partially.

There is (of course) the base cost of 12,500 Gold.

That price CAN be the minimum you need to pay!

In about 8 hours, i've earned nearly 3000 G farming Saronite on my server. While gathering the saronite, you get shadow and earth eternals. All you have to do is farm 12 fires from Fjarn's Anvil.

Then, if you're a miner, you can YOURSELF make 12 titansteel, or, if you're in a good guild, can probably find a couple of people willing to do it for you for free. I also, have exchanged 40 copper bolts, and arctic fur for aiding the engineer making the chopper level his alt.

So, basically, If you have a weekend or two, you can easily obtain this mount so long as you've done all of the Loremaster of Northrend achievements.

Good luck making one! I hope this helped!

Commento di colar

If you mine titanium nodes, you get some crystallized fire as well as other stuff. Usually I had more than enough to make titansteel a day without having to farm anything else.

cobalt bolts = free from mining (had low level engineer alt)
arctic fur = free from skinning
titansteel bars = free from mining and smelting.

All I spent were 12,500 gold + tip to an engineer to make it for me. Figure I spent about 3 weeks farming for gold to buy this.

Anyone who is not a miner, or don't have paitence to farm freebies will end up paying premiums. I've seen this go for as low as 25K on AH.

Commento di 300141

Ok so apparently this mount has health. But i'm surprised im the only one with this question so far.

If the mount falls with you in it from a high enough spot say 300 yards off a cliff, what happens to the mount? Is it set so it cant be summoned for an hour after breaking, does it have to be repaired at a vendor, or is it just forever wasted just beccause someone wanted to honor evil kinevil for a second? I just dont see it realistic for a 13,000 g mount to just be destroyed in a matter of seconds never to be seen again.

Commento di 288644

Question. Since it seems this isn't effected by DK path of frost or the speed buff has anyone heard any mention that this is being fixed or corrected in a patch or is this the way it is supposed to work? Seems pretty weak.

Commento di 113193

bit overprised if u want this and the other mounts u can buy ( flying + bear + mammoth 3 seater + maybe some i dont know bout ...yet)

Commento di Storfuskare

I want to add that if you are planning to make these to sell on AH or Trade Chat or whatever, I just want to warn you that you can't sell it too high (20k+ as you probably thought) because the Exotic Mount Vendor in Dalaran is selling a Mount similar to this one, that's the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth. They work all the same, except Mammoth costs 16k. So if you made the Bike for 13k, you won't be making any profit more than 3-4k...

*HINT* Maybe the buyer likes the Bike more than the Mammoth and is prepared to pay a bit more for it, then you have made a good deal.

:)

*EDIT* The Mammoth is 16k when Exalted to Kirin Tor, 20k when Neutral.

Commento di 260468

Just got mine today and what a sweet ride it is. Well worth the whole week i spent mining.

Commento di 117200

Something to note for those that recently crafted their hog or plan to. In BGs like warsong gulch if someone holding the flag hops in your side car, they will DROP the flag before they get inside. I nearly lost a warsong match testing this when the flag carrier dropped it right next to an alliance. So take caution in pvp and be sure to let the others know not to click your mount if they have the flag.

Commento di Shoningun

I just like to Point out this

Racial restrictions on mounts have now been lifted. Night elves on mechanostrider? Tauren on raptor? You’re not seeing things.

Offical Patch Notes....Now we'll be seeing alliance riding our sweet ass mount

Commento di 296322

In Wintergrasp, you should be able to pull into the vehicle huts and get upgrades for the hog.

For example they throw armor plating on it to increase health to 20k and add a light cannon to the passenger car that does 500 siege damage

These improvements only last for the duration of wintergrasp

-OR- make a talent-tree type upgrade system... somewhat expensive but make the hog upgradeable. You can select a series of upgrades oriented towards defensive or offensive capabilities.. none too powerful but enough to make it worth the mats that are required (like another piston + 2 titansteel + 15 cobalt bolts for example).

Commento di 313475

well the only problem is after you;ve spent your time grinding to 80 just to get to use it you have to spend around 12kg on just getting the parts.... was a great pain but worth every copper now i get to pwn noobs in style

Imagine (if it were possible): a Gnome driving and a Tauren riding in the passenger car....

Commento di 117200

Neat little trick, if you are a class that can buff the mechano hog there IS a way to buff your own.

for example on my priest if I wanted to levitate his mechano hog I use the following macro
/target Mechano
/cast Levitate

All you do is put this next to your mount button, second you finish casting theres a split second where the hog is summoned that you can cast the buff

The macro just lets you target it and cast fast enough. Takes a bit of getting used to but at least now i dont have to invite another priest into my party just to play around with a flying mechano hog. =P

Commento di Whacko

The Mechano-Hog moves faster than the Mekgineer's Chopper (Alliance bike). Why? Because the horde version is red, and red always goes faster.

Looks to me it is way to overpowered.

Dude if I am going to pay 12k gold just for 3 of the materials by all means it BETTER be overpowered. It's not like it's limited to one class. It's a definite upgrade that you bust your a$$ for. Honestly. It's no different that running heroics for the best armor in the game. Yeah you could call those peices just as over powered as this, but they are obtainable by anyone. Something is only overpowered if it is limited to a specific group and others do not have the means to overcome it. Just because I Earned a better sword than you from besting a heroic doesn't mean my sword is overpowered, it just means that you're jealous. XD

Does anyone know if you can use water walking while riding this, like with nomal mounts?

Commento di 341072

I don't know if anyone else was curious about this, but I was....

Since there are several zones that change after various quests are completed (Shadow Vault, Argent Vanguard, etc.), I wanted to see how this would work with carrying passengers that had not completed these quests. Normally if the other player has not completed the quests, they can't see you and you can't see them. So to see how this would work with the mechano-hog, I carried a passenger that had not yet completed any of the Icecrown quests though I had.

It turned out to be a pretty amusing venture--as soon as I entered the "instanced" zone (I have no idea what to call it), my passenger vanished. I couldn't see him anymore. However, I did not lose him, he did not get kicked off the hog, and he could still ride around with me. He said that his driver vanished and he was riding around in the side car without a driver, but it worked okay. That said, as soon as you dismount, or if mobs (or an alli DK...) kill your bike, your passenger will not be able to remount because they won't be able to see you or your bike.

Oh, and both you AND the hog take mine damage if you go bouncing around the mine field outside of k3 ;)

Commento di Baelof

This and other vehical mounts have been changed to behave more like normal mounts meaning you can now mount and dismount automatically. It will no longer take fall damage and have hitpoints (awww) and it will just be seen as a normal mount (no longer targetable). It now is affected by path of frost and it also has a new side icon on the right hand side of the screen to show who is mounted next to you (like the vehicals in Wintergrasp). Plus, when a passenger is dismounted the folding up animation will play. The side car folds back into the motorcycle.

As of 3.1, this "mount" is nowhere near worth the cost anymore. The previous vehicle attributes (no fall damage, no dazing, separate target, etc) were the only justification for the massive cost. Now it's just another vanity item. If you were after it for just the passenger ability, go with the Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth ( https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=44086 ) from Sons of Hodir at exalted. Holds three instead of two, and costs 8000g compared to the 12,500g + mats.

So in 3.1 this has been changed to a normal mount and not a vehicle that can be targeted and killed.Im deciding if i should get a hog for my warrior but ive heard of the dismount animation.

Bought this yesterday for baout 13,800 with 200g tip...Muey expensive, not sure if I should have gotten this or the tundra...I like the vendor Idea but it's just another Mammoth in which I already have a Black War version. The noise gets extremely annoying so I had to turn main sound down....I do however love being able to goto a flag with someone else...Someone always wants a ride to the flags and someone always gets in....Overall cool mount for sure!

Commento di RiceCake

You might've gathered that this bike altogether costs 12.5k gold in vendor mats and then ~1k more in regular mats. Personally I feel that even though it's not a vehicle anymore but a regular mount, the money's well spent. The fact of the matter is it is one of the most if not the most unique ground mount in the game. Besides for the obvious fact that it's a bike instead of an animal, it creates a constant ruckus of engine purring noise as well as a satisfying clamor when it drops from great heights. It can jump in place, which as far as I know no other ground mounts can do. It can also hold a passenger, a quality only shared by the great mammoths. Personally, though, I dislike the mammoth models for they are bland an unimaginative. This bike, when it moves, all parts of it moves, the wheels, the tail pipe, everything. When it jumps, all the little objects on it also shakes. The attention to detail is purely amazing. The only downside I could think of is the fact that it doesn't really scale to character model size. As a female blood elf, the bike is relatively huge and it completely surrounds my character, which makes it look even cooler. I can imagine, though, that as a tauren the relative small size of the bike might be a put off.

Now, if only Blizzard could release something like a mod shop so I can mod up my bike. Nitrous anyone?

Commento di 370905

An interesting little trick I noticed last night after finally getting my hog...

If you're riding the bike with a passenger and use an Iron Boot Flask to transform into an Iron Dwarf, you'll be standing on the bike. But the sidecar folds up! Your passenger will be sitting upside down on the folded up sidecar. The same thing happens if you drive down to Sen'jin Village and take some of the buffs from the local witch doctor.

***Important Update***

All of the Vendor Only mats for the motorcycles can now be "skinned" off Ulduar bosses (even in 10-man) via an engineering score of 415+.

Salvaged Iron Golem Parts can be skinned from Flame Leviathan.
Goblin Machined Pistons can be skinned from Mimiron.
Elementium-plated Exhaust Pipes can be skinned from Deconstructer.

It is confirmed that these can be skinned without knowing the schematic and without the exalted rep status.

It is possible to carry shapeshifted people as a passenger

Tried with :

Skeleton (noggenfogger elixir) Stand stills on his feets and when it dance he do all the moves an undead do except jumping

Wisp (Magic Eater) Nothing special about that one but it flies still while in your hog

Whelp (Magic Eater) My favorite, how radical it is to have a green whelp flying in the passenger seat of your hog, especially when he had a noggenfogger buff, the one that makes you small, was awesome

&*!@roach (Magic Eater) so small if you put your camera on the side you can barely see his head, fits perfectly ON the seat

Basilisk (Magic Eater) pretty much the same as the *!@#roach, pretty funny to see it on your seat

All those shapeshifting methods cannot mount up with their own mount so...yea pretty cool

Skettis (Time lost figurine) When i tried it with someone in orgrimmar he had Winterfall Firewater on himself so it was a gigantic bird-like creature standing on his feets on the passenger seat

Commento di pipboy650

Sooo, does this mount still provide the immunity against abilities such as Death Grip, Cheap shot, Sap and so on (I don't really know the list of things, but other people told me it was totally worth getting it before the last patch.)

If it provides immunity to any sorts of abilitys, reduces fall damage or whatever, it might still be worth the ridicoulus amount of gold right? Otherwise i doubt i'd spend 12.5k minimum for this mount instead of the Ice mammoth or the Tundra traveler mammoth...

Commento di Skinnar

Shame that this is no longer a vechical, and now that it's just like any other mount it's not really that fun to use.

After FIVE long hard months of saving, and buying one piece at a time. i have FINALLY finished building my mechano hog.

And believe them when they say:
Worth every Minute, Every Copper, Every Click of the mouse, Every stroke of the keyboard.

I know it feels dumb to get that excited about a game but trust me, Building this was the greatest play experience I've had in any video game in my entire LIFE,
Hard work pays off.

Maybe it just because I'm fond of motorcycles IRL, but to you people who think u can never afford one, i say: you CAN, It may take a LONG time, but its worth it
Just do what i did, and put 40 Silver of every gold u make into savings, and every time u can Buy a part, Buy a part. so you aren't tempted to buy something else.

I actually got my bike before i got Epic Flying training, and i don't regret that decision one bit.

Do it.
Do your dailies EVERY day and do a lot of 10 man Nax/Ulduar (without dying!)
you would be surprised how much money u make by running raids. (assuming you don't die and need repairs)
Save for that mechano hog.

Just the feeling of having one, with every player admiring you and asking "hey can i ride in you bike? =D" just feels so great, that I've really accomplished something.

Totally 110% WORTH IT.

Commento di BuzzNuts

I wanted to get this so I started looking in to the cost of making it.

1. https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=44502 = 340g (At exalted But you have to be exalted to buy anyway).
2. https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=44501 =1000g each so for the 8 you need 8000g.
3. https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=44500 =1500g only need the 1.
4. https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=44499 =3000g again only need 1.

These 4 items are sold by vendors so there can be no change in price.

5. https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=44128 =100g each need 2 so 200g.
6. https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=39681 =20g a stack of 20 so 40g for the 40.
7. https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=37663 =130g each and for the 12 needed 1560g.

These 3 items I have taken the price of my server so probably different to your own server but this is just a guide line.
As I said I have taken the price of my AH so probably different to your own server, However I would say it’s probably allot cheaper to make the last 3 items not buying them already made should save allot.

So a BIG grand total of 14640g and this is the price of patch 3.2.2 so these prices will probably change knowing blizzard.

Hope this has helped…

Commento di 365880

If you're building yourself a bike, pay attention to the Auction House. Even though your chances of skinning the vendor only parts off the Ulduar bosses is small, people will still get them on your server. If they aren't using them to build their own bikes, they'll be going on the AH, and they will be up for less than the vendor would sell them for (unless the seller is an idiot).

While you're saving up, just remember to check the AH every so often for parts. Occasionally you will find some up there on the cheap, sometimes even with very low opening bid prices.

Not a sure thing, but all it takes is a few extra seconds whenever you stop by the AH to look, and it can potentially save you thousands on this bike.

WROOM WROOM!
I just got this mount, and frankly I believe I'll sit on it 'til Arthas starts blowing kisses from Icecrown Citadel (a.k.a.never).
Now I have a scary looking rocking undead mage, a freaking cool bycicle and a pumpkin helmet (safety first!).

Any elvish lady cares for a ride?

WROOM WROOOM!

Has anyone ridden the Mechano-hog in a murloc suit? Im in the process of making my own hog at the moment, and am dying to see a screenie of the murloc on a motorcycle.

If i finish before I find a screenie i will make sure to post mine. :]

Anyone else think it would be a cool idea if Blizzard made it so that if you are an engineer with Jeeves and have the Hog you'd mount up with Jeeves in the passenger seat? You could kick him out like you can with the mammoth NPCs. They'd prolly make it so that you can only access the vendor feature of Jeeves and leave the banking to the actual summon. This way both sides will be happy. Non-engineers get one of the best looking mounts in the game, and engineers get Jeeves as their default passenger.

What is an appropriate tip if I provide all the needed items and the 12.5k gold to purchase the engineer only materials?

Commento di Sgtown

Anyone got a mod that removes the sounds from this thing (kind of like the mod that removes gunshot sounds)?

It was fun and all for the first few months. Now it's just !@#$ing annoying.

I got it today after buying 7 primordial saronite and selling them for around 2k gold each. I deprived all my alts of they're tier 10 but in the end look at it this way, gear doesn't last and after a couple of weeks their frost badge count will be back up to normal, but this mount will last forever.

Good luck to everyone going for this.

non engineers can't buy the mats from the goblin vendor at K3

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Here are all the tips and tricks I found out about the motorcycle mount on my night elf druid :D

First off, I am an engineer so thats how some of these work.
The person riding with you can do a variety of things, like /dance, /cower, /train, was pretty epic for when I was a troll from the teleporter debuff for me to dance while a buddy of mine was driving his chopper through the minefield, Storm Peaks, you could make a video of stepping on a landmine there, we however, didn't just last on one mine, but we almost blew up each and everyone mine in a consecutive leap of explosive and falling damage, was pretty epic, but you might want to have a good deal of health before trying something like that >.<

1. Using an Iron Boot Flask or an Orb of the Sin'dorei, also dispelling Orb of Deception while mounted on the chopper makes your current passenger upside down.

2. For Druids: Go to Krasus' Landing or anywhere your allowed to fly, Shapeshift into Flight Form, queue for a dungeon, ( I'm a tank so I can do this almost instantly :P ) finish the dungeon, mount up on anything, I go on my chopper, then use the eye thing on your minimap to teleport out of dungeon, without making your chopper buff go away, then.... Bird on a Chopper! 60% Flying speed, 100% Ground Speed, but hey, it can carry a passenger! If you'd like to thank me for granting you da knowledge of a flying 2 people mount you could um, mail me some gold or let the alliance have Wintergrasp more often, I'd prefer the gold XD

3. For Engineers/Restoration Druids/Balance Druids: You might have seen a moonkin that is in a sidecar, but seen one that is driving? First off, you have to either be a goblin or gnome engineer, use your Ultrasafe Teleporter : Toshley's Station or that other goblin thingy, to teleport to Area 52, once you get a transporter malfunction, where your character is mixed up with the last person to use it, A.K.A turning into a tauren, hearth or go where you want to go, don't go Bear/Seal/Cat/Flight form, but Moonkin and I think.. Tree of Life also persist through the malfunction debuff, and just causes an illusion, so you can get on a chopper, while in moonkin form, with the debuff, once the effect is gone, you become an actual moonkin/tree on whatever mount you picked, and standing up, pretty fun to run around on a mechanostrider with like that XD

4. For Engineers/Mages: When your falling with a passenger, and are about to go splat, use your parachute cloak or slowfall to live, your friend will take moderate damage, and will most likely survive the impact, in rare cases, you die and passenger takes little or no damage, Dalaran sewer skydiving FTW

Use dispersion while riding this with a passenger and your passenger will end up flipped on his back dragging behind the bike

Commento di 302992

Yes, that would be pretty cool...

No, he's really in the mechano hog!

Commento di 569448

You also May Be thinking I want want but it cost to much, imo its very useful specially if you PvP u can carry your healer or damage bubby with you Into the fight =D

Commento di 276072

I hate these mounts so much.. a waste.

Commento di 212168

If you are an engineer and u make this. will it then be possible to make money by selling it and putting it on ah for maybe 14000 gold? then make a new one and repeat the steps?

Commento di Velasco

For those players being the passengers and using Action Bar mods like Bartender and having troubles to dismount.
They removed the mount buff that passengers had to dismount (Riding Shotgun), which is similar to the rider's buff.

Instead they moved this function to the vehicle bar and if you have made the vehicle bar invisible then there are two options to resolve the issue. Either make the bar visible or target the rider and right click on his unit frame. He alone will have an option called "Leave". This will NOT make you leave the party but instead leave the vehicle.

Applies to all vehicle mounts.

Commento di Bengesko

Vanity pets don't like the exhaust it seems. All of my vanity pets take a few steps away from me whenever I mount up on the hog.

Commento di chidugi

As an engineer a passenger and I hopped off a cliff in TB and a few feet before we hit the ground I popped my parachute and we both survived. Apparently the falling distance resets the split second you pop the parachute and you only take damage for the remainder of the fall. A good tactic for making a quick escape with a buddy in perilous situations!

Commento di 605707

It's a pimping bike i made two one for me and i'm selling the other one for 12000 gold but still no bids

Commento di Walther

The cost of the materials needs to come down in the next patch. At least have reputation discounts.

Commento di farm4fame

Pure waste of time - no freaking deal to 4arm 100h just to get a rusty bike!

Commento di Whitexx5

If you drive this down a hill and jump, your back tire repeatedly hits the floor, it'll look like your bouncing on the tire :D. I did this in Caverns of Time and it seemed like my bike was driving forward while bouncing on its back tire again and again.

Every time there is someone with this ... "mount" around, I have to hit CTRL-S. Noisy little crap.

This may or may not be helpful:

Craftable/Farmable Parts:
12 Titansteel Bar (per bar: 3 titanium, 1 Et Fire, 1 Et Shadow, 1 Et Earth & 24 hr cd)
40 Cobalt Bolts (40 Cobalt Bars)
2 Arctic Fur (easily the cheapest of the lot)

Non-Craftable Parts:
1 Salvaged Iron Golem Part: 3000g
8 Goblin Machined Piston: 8000g (1k each)
1 Elementium Plated Exhaust Pipe: 1500g

(these parts can only be purchased by the engineer who has the schematic learned)

On the plus side, the motorcycle is BoE.

Commento di Allakhazam

Can Make this on Frostmane for 20k ish - send a mail to Temujin - or shout when I'm on.

Commento di Allakhazam

Minimum price is 12,500 gold for vendor only goods, only engineer with the schematic can buy them. The rest of the mats including: 12 titansteel bars, 2 arctic fur, and 40 cobalt bolts can add up to a few thousands easy. Then the engineer should be paid a tip for service, don't be asinine and tip only 5g for this.

Commento di Allakhazam

damn that much? 22000 golds
wanted one badly :(

Commento di Allakhazam

When an engineer makes a Mechano-hog is it bound when you get it? JUst wandeing if I could send it to my alt?:|

Nah its not soulbound, as it can be sold on AH

Commento di Cillblinton
