2 new 'obtainable' mounts

[sevenslacks7]

Since MoP I have looted the Blingtron 4000 roughly 30 times. Just recently I looted it again on my main twink and was curious about what loot was obtainable from this package (being it is also meant for level 90 players). After scrolling down on wowhead I was shocked to see that there where 3 mounts included in the loot tables. They are the Depleted-Kyparium Rocket and the Geosynchronous World Spinner, which would be otherwise unobtainable due to the high level of engineering required to make them and absence of the ability to use the auction house. (Also semi worthwhile to note that the third mount, Mekgineer's Chopper / Mechano-Hog is also 'obtainable' but only usable if you where to loot it on a f2p DK, which is just stacking to many odds against you tbh).

Each mount on its own has a 1 in 38,591 chance to drop, when both taken into account this comes out to be a chance to loot of 1 in every 19,296 packages.

Why is this even worth posting due to the super low drop rate? Well what I would hope is to see is someone who plays a high level p2p on a highly populated f2p server (ie Aerie Peak) who would be generous enough to place a Blingtron 4000 every day at roughly the same time in the same location; if enough f2ps where aware of the drop and completed the daily there would be a decent chance of a f2p character walking away with an amazing mount. (f2p's who dont play on Aerie Peak could then also participate by creating a level 1 and logging into the the character every day at the same time)

If no one on a p2p wants to do it then that is fine, at least you f2p's are aware, so now you have more reason to hunt for those Blingtron 4000's every day, for more then just the Dressed to Kill appearance .

I feel like the chances are way too low to even seriously attempt this

Perhaps, but it's not entirely impossible. In fact, a month or so ago:

Just a standard blingtron dance party





When suddenly....










Congrats Graudel on being the first f2p to get the Depleted-Kyparium Rocket!

Woah grats to him thats awesome. And its no that much work, mostly I posted this as something to maybe look forward to each time you open one up.

I heard the drop rate may be raised next patch.

 

[Legends]

Definitely not new. Every Bling quest I complete,I hope for a mount drop. Never does doe

 

[Neckbreak]

the blingatron dude also serves as a super easy way to get gold capped... you usually get junk that vendors for like 5-10g so its an easy method of getting bags and other cool stuff you may wanna purchase

 

[Garrett]

I see a blingatron maybe once every 3 months, coupled with the ridiculously low rate. The likelihood of obtaining either of these 2 mounts is 0.

i created two new mules for the blingron...parked one in SW and parked one in Org...every time i play i just check them first. I have a:

/target bling

macro set for both of them.

From what I've seen the easiest place to find Blingtron is Dalaran. I usually find at least one there every day. The best thing I received so far is the 200g rose though...

?! really? that's a surprise. i've only been to dalaran a couple times in the last 6 months, but its been a ghost town.

i'm wondering if it's just a coincidence that there's a toon on your server who just happens to be in his 70's at the moment and is hearthing in dalaran.

 

[kca]

if you think about it, 18k members on this website, lets say, a quarter of them are 'active' i.e log on every day, that would be 1 twink getting it every few days, that's obviously dependant on if we can get a blingtron in the same place at the same time but yeah, more than worth it seeing as the daily takes about 5seconds.

IM FEELING LUCKY

How do you know what server I'm on? ;p

Anyway, on Mazrigos there's always a bunch of people hanging out at the Gnome & Goblin Engineering shop and that's where I mostly see Blingtrons (or in front of the building with portals). Definitely not a ghost town but that's of course thanks to cross-realm zones.

 

[Shft]

Since they have buffed the drop rate, its actually higher unless they purged the wowhead drop rates. But they don't do that for anything else so keep hoping^^

Do you have any idea what the new drop rate will be?

i thought capital cities weren't part of the whole CRZ thing...only questing zones.?

Only Stormwind, Orgrimmar and Pandaria are excluded from CRZ. All the other cities are CRZed, so there are actually people in places like Thunder Bluff/Ironforge/Dalaran now.

I typically see a minimum of one Blingtron per week. I guess it differs by realm.

By the way, another nice item from the Blingtron is the deathclaw imprint, which is BiS for storing money. It sells to vendors for 14g, or up to 10g for F2P players. A stack of 20 is worth 200g, far outweighing a stack of eternium thread.

There are other stackable items from the Blingtron that you can sell for 10G, but in my experience the deathclaw imprint is most common.
