Very long process to obtain this mount. The poster above me has some great links for the quests. It is rumored that in the expansion reputation obtained is increased so if you want to do this wait until then as it might be a less strenuous process.

Commento di 34142

took me about 2 and ahalf - 3 months to farm for it, about 8-10 hours every day, but well worth it, he is so handsom

Commento di 19583

It would appear that by the description ("very fast mount" ) this is an epic mount, and yet it only requires 75 riding skill, making it unique and allowing you to save a good amount of gold.

Still, it's not really worth the grind, imo. You'll need the riding skill eventually anyways to get a flying mount, and by then no one's gonna give a crap if you spent ungodly amounts of time to grind a rather plain looking cat.

Commento di 27091

IMO since its a rep grind, this should be avaliable to both alliance and horde, i just talked to the guy today on my blood elf and i became neutral, unfortunatly i cant get the quests =( this is one sad blood elf

Commento di 34142

horde has a similar rep grinding quest in Un'Goro, you get a special raptor wich i dont know how it looks like, but this one you can clearly see its different from any other Tiger

Commento di 65849

I've started the quests for this, 3 hours in and 1800/3000 nuetral.

I'm guessing one of the best things to do would be to pick up both quests, go do furblogs then grind your way back up, handing in for 150 - rather than 75.

Make good use of the long run tbh.

Commento di 66753

can undead use this mount?

Commento di 66753

whoops. it says for th races availble. thats lame!

Commento di Wizup

Hmm i started grinding for this mount 2 days ago and as it looks now im a little over friendly. But in the start i didnt know what i was doing until i reached about 500 into Neutral i only started cuz of skinning which i have made like 800g on now the past 2 days

Commento di Dantarahma

Exalted has been achieved. I love this mount. All that effort, all that time and all that boredom was worth it. 42K rep.....no grind will ever be as annoying. I'm happy it's over. I did get 4 lvls and 720ishG (after repairs, and D/Eing all greens), I started with 50G. I was able to purchase my flying mount, and this one and still have over 500G left over. I will only ride my flying mount when I have no choice.

I've pushed my way to exalted with darny too. I know its not needed anymore, but I was revered before they changed it -- figured id just finish it out.

Have fun. It's a long way.

Commento di darthmike500

This takes a lot of time grinding rep and you will probably gain a lvl or 2 while grinding for this mount.

Commento di Anzakness

OMG I just got my tiger today, is so cool <33 soft and fast <333
It took me almost 2months to get it, and i got some problems with some players cause i was killing "their" furbolgs, but I finally got my Frostsaber :3!!!

Do you need to be a hunter to get this quest ? causr thats wat my friend told me....

Commento di 74226

Can Horde get it now ? as an orc ? because i really really really want it ... soo BAD ...and im not going to lvl the rep if i cant even use it

Commento di 75870

I got it - it cost me 120h of nonstop grinding , 15k furblogs slain , people bring to insane coz of my addiction - 100 of lowbies called me bastard and so on.But now i got it - it is amaizing mount not coz it's looks good - but coz by the way of grinding - you prove to yourself that if u something wan't u get.

Commento di 82616

it says that u can have 75 training so u dont have to train for the 150 training and this mount is as fast the lvl 60 mounts

The reputation rewards for quests has been changed from 75 to 250 (350 for Rampaging Giants), it should be much easier to get your now.

Ok.. I've started this grind a few days ago I"m at 4250/6000. I got the second quest at 1500/3000 as stated.. how ever I tried to do just the second quest as stated... and I can't do it. You have to pick up the first one before the second is availabe form the trainer. When I tried to turn it in it wouldn't let me. you have to turn the first one in before the trainer gives you the option to turn the second one in. Now I don't know if this is going to change when I get the third...(fingers crossed) the drop rate on the first hurts..lol.

I have a lvl 64 NE Hunter. and I'm getting 10 rep for killing each Shamen and Ursa.

If you're committed to doing this, I recommend setting your hearth to Everlook, you can save a fair bit of travel time going back and forth.

I just ground out this rep for something to do.
from 1500/3000 neutral to exalted, it took me about 14 hours.
when i got to doing the winterfall intursion and Rampaging giants, each round was about 10-15 minutes.
I was doing the quests for 2 characters at the same time, had one on follow, and a pally friend on follow so i had crusader aura as well, made things faster :P

Wasn't too bad, just had to kill a bunch of ppl trying to do the quests that involved killing my shamans/ursas.

one day grind, one quite long day.
-Not too bad for non-human

Commento di Vigholm

I grinded the mount within 2,5 days or so... Took me around 28 hours of gaming, and well.. Grinding this while playing was the only activity I commited during the 2,5 days, except for 1 raid to SSC or something. So yeah, it's not hard.. Just takes a moment of dedication

Commento di 89935

I got this mount yesterday and it took around 20 hours for me AOE grinding as a fire mage. It's not a hard mount to get now at all, it just takes a few hours of grinding but it's worth it and if you're a class with good AoE spells then the grinds even easier, I got a few nice drops while doing it too, a lot of frost protection recipes and several BoE blues and one epic. I also looted around 30 stacks of runecloth. You will most likely make a profit rather than a loss whilst grinding this as you can hearth to Everlook when your inventory is full to mail things, repair and vendor. The amount of Winterfall Spirit Beads you get also means you can get a nice amount of reputation with the Timbermaw Furbolgs.

Commento di 120266

by far this is the only mount available for riding skill 75. i think this would be useless to grind rep for cuz if you were gonna raise to get flying mounts you would need riding 150 as a reagent.

Commento di 122552

Just finished the quest took 48hrs straight without sleep but it helped I had a pally doing the quests with me. With crusader aura you can complete both killing quests and turn them in every 12 minutes. Just hope to god nobody else is killing in winterfall village.

Commento di Corbon

Took me a prolonged weekend (started early Saturday, finished late Monday) to earn 42000 rep, in 4 "runs". After dinging honored, it is advised to ignore the meat quest completely and concentrate on killing the Furbolgs and Giants, which will net you 600 (660) per turn and takes like 20 minutes at Lv 70, so even with breaks for selling trash and sending stuff to your bank char from Everlook, getting 1500-2000 rep per hour isn't a problem if you stay focused and no one else is doing the quest. In addition, killing furbolgs also boosts your Timbermaw reputation and the vast amount of dropped runecloth can be turned in for faction rep as well. As a miner and enchanter, I farmed hundreds of thorium ores and got nice amounts of illusion dust and greater eternals plus a Lifestone (epic trinket) drop, so money-wise it was very rewarding as well.

And of course, being a Human Paladin is a significant plus in finishing the grind.

Commento di 125409

wow... my friend pepster earned it in 48 hours straight of grinding... with no sleep and barely any food and about 3 fullthrottles a day... hes addicted, if you want to ask him how consult the pepster in exodar realm...

This is the ONLY 100% speed ground mount that requires Novice training. Saves you 500g right there.

Commento di SeaOfHoles

As a level 63 Human Priest on a 60% horse with carrot trinket, it takes me ~ 12 minutes per turn-in currently, taking the cross-country route through the mountains with the village to myself.

I think it works out to
~ 3 minutes from Frostsabre to village
~ 6 minutes killing
~ 3 minutes from village to Frostsabre

A little longer if I have to kill Den Watchers to make Shaman spawn

Commento di SeaOfHoles

I found the Giants way too difficult as a 63 Priest. It took nearly a full bar of mana to defeat one with 6500 mana, +400 spell damage and +100 mp5.

Commento di 150562

I disagree about this mount losing its worth.
While the quest rewards have had a substantial rep increase when compared to the initial release, it's still a mount to be desired.
I'm currently grinding to get this while at level 60, and I've only encountered one other player with the same goal. And aside from her, I've only encountered one person during my months of playing, with this mount.

I have a couple hours a day to work on the quests, so this grinding is definitely not flying by. I'm thankful there was a reputation increase or I wouldn't even hope of getting this mount for a long, long, long time, which really sucks for those with limited time to work at such things. Now I can set a reasonable goal for myself while keeping my sanity.

Well worth it.

Commento di 168888

is this considered an old school mount ?

Commento di gaze

No longer available to purchase? And also, I noticed this mount requires 75 riding skill, whereas its a 100% mount, does that mean you don't need to buy 125 riding to ride this mount?

Commento di 195887

I heard rumors that it is getting removed in 3.0 or in Wrath. Can anyone confirm or deny? if so, please post reference link from Blizzard. I need to know if I should grind this ASAP before 3.0/Wrath. Thanks.

Commento di Risoluto

You'd think that considering the amount of work put into getting this mount that it would be an achievement, regardless of whether it's alliance only.

Commento di 48497

I started in the sommer, it took me one week to get from Neutral to Revered. The quest now gives you 250 Rep pr. turn in, so now is it ALOT easiere. Then i had a breake from the questing, so here from a week ago (5-10-2008 Sonday) i started again and yesterday (10-10-2008 Friday) i have it. What i trying to say that, it took me 2 and a half week to get this mount.

Commento di 134700

i have a 70 human pally, tried farming deathchargers reins but it was a failure (made bout 2k almost though :D) so ima start on this one, with the rep increase and pally mount speed i should have it relatively soon :O , will comment when i get it. just saying, this is much easier to get than barons mount if you are a person like me (blizz has laughed at your pitiful attempts to be lucky in WoW since the game came out)

It would be really nice if they added this for the horde. I know it's unlikely, but I can dream!

Commento di Zorrah

I did this rep grind on my warlock in about 20 hours total. Affliction specc'ed...level 70. About 1100 shadow damage. In the 20 hours I never stopped to drink or eat once. Imp out the whole time and dark pact for mana. The siphon life actually returned more life than I lost during the life tap.

I never stopped to cast...just cast on the move....curse of agony, corruption and siphon life...keep running, move to the next mob...by the time I stopped I had 5-6 dead laying around me. Loot them...move onto the next group. Rinse and repeat. 20 hours total...and I did do all the quests, even though there was extra running involved...get a riding crop!

I'd like to thank Jubtik the Manaless.....my imp for all the help :)

Commento di youfod

This trainer never did anything. He supposedly was the counter part of Alliance Winterspring Frostsaber Trainer but he never gave any Qs to rep up with, nor did he appeard as faction once u talked to him like usual with factions.
Its possible that Blizzard decided not to give Hordes a Ravasaur factions mount after seeing that the Winterspring one was rare and only done by a handful of people on each server
I suspect that the reason why this rep grind mount was never implemented was b/c of the level disparity. Grinding for a L60 mount in a low-50 zone would be too simple. Unless they had you running to Silithus, but that seems a bit excessive.

When you look at Winterspring / EP / Silithus, it's hard to see how you could tie raptor lore into the zone.

By the end of the grind you'll of made way over 2000g. Myself, I had 5 cards, 2 epics, 3 blues and a Mooncloth back recipe.

There is no point in grinding this mount for the sake of saving money. Also by the time you hit 70 if you quested you should have at least 1.1k gold.

Few tips for the brave people out there joining the minority :D
1. Get yourself a riding crop. You will spend 80-90% of your time running while doing this quest. Knocking 10% off of that is great.
2. Kill everything in the camp. They both spawn on the same points. The Shamans are the ones you will be hunting for, so be sure to kill everything. At 70 it is easy to 1-2 shot these mobs so no worries about the time you'll add.
3. Kill all players. The worst thing that can happen is you having to wait around for spawns because someone is grinding. Don't worry, at 55+ they have a million places to grind, but you only have 1 viable spot to get this mount at.
4. Ignore the elite quest. Simple.
5. Go cross country. Riding crop + 60 mobs + 70 agro range = no time. It's unlikely you'll be dazed and dismounted by 60 mobs, run in the straightest line possible.
6. Make a bank character. Don't waste time running / porting / flying to your factions capitals to empty your bags. Get a mass mail mod (like CT_mailmod), sell your trash and send anything you want to your bank toon and get back to grinding.
7. Don't expect it over night. If you are hardcore and play 13-16 hours a day it can be done in a week. (16hours * 9minutes/run / 75rep/run = 8k a day, 4.67days.). It is now faster than it was at 60, due to the lack of grinders and increased rep but it's still a long grind.
8. Don't compete with your fellow farmers! Someone else grinding the mount? I'm sure they will be more than happy to have a friend to do it with (even better if its a pala, crusader aura ftw, eh? :P)

Also, the mount does have a brown saddle which does ruin it to an extent. But it's easily the best looking mount in game atm.

And for all you hordies I've got my fingers crossed that Blizz add your lovely Dino mount in WotLK, seems a bit unfair that alliance get something so unique and you get nowt, and after 2.0, well you'r black war raptor has somewhat lost its appeal as now it's SO common.

Commento di 272320

If i want to grind this mount i just need to go to that trainer and take q's from him,do q's and rep will be increased ? And can any1 take q from him ?

Commento di 96285

Just finished this grind for the 2nd time on my shaman. Thats once on a Holy Priest and Elemental Shaman. Joy! I really do like this mount, which must be obvious. I found it much quicker to do all 3 quests instead of just doing the one to kill the furbies. Setting HS to Everlook is a great help. (even better with Astal Recall) Good luck to anyone completing this grind, its tiring but well worth it.

Anyone happen to know what the Speed increase on these mounts are? Was wondering cause I have the 60% increase Black Stripedsaber & was curious of these were any faster than the stock mounts purchased in Darnassus?

Commento di PurplePirate

EDIT:

It took me four days total from 10 am to 10 pm at night every day to get Exalted. Granted that I had to go sometimes to raid with my guild or something of the like on my main. On the alt I got it, I am currently a Lvl 71 Human frost mage.

Provions and Intrusion will give humans 275 rep per turn in. When you hit honored you will be able to do the Rampaging Giants and that gives us 385 rep per turn in. I did all three because it's just so much rep, and if you do it efficiently then you won't spend more than half and hour (if even that, I spent a little under 20 mins per 3 sets of turn ins from riding to and from Frostsaber rock with no riding buffs) on a set of three... but that also depends if you can one shot the non elite mobs and 2 hit (maybe even one shot) the elite ones. Now if you're a frost mage like myself, then doing Rampaging is pretty rediculous, but we do have arcane and fire spells so it ain't so bad-- a little slow if anything because we aren't spec'd that way, haha.

You don't even have to worry about the spawn rate if you do it like this because by the time you are done with one quest, the things that people killed before for the other quests would've already respawned-- and in any case, the spawn rate is pretty quick, IMO.

Towards the last turn in there were just too many people doing the Winterfall Intrusion, so I just did Provisions twice-- and now I have myself the pride of all that is purple in this game! ^.^

Anyway, I'd say if you can't stand doing repetitive tasks and you just want it to boast and it's not really your favorite of your mounts-- then this ain't the mount for you. If you desperately love purple and tigers, and to have them in one and you have all the patience in the world, or you really and truly want that mount achievement... then have fun grinding! Haha.

Commento di 330169

I did this quest for no reason. I really don't know why because I'm playing a death knight at the moment and the archerus deathcharger is a perfectly fine mount.
After I quested my way into friendly I started to read the comments on here and I thought "how crazy am I?" because getting this mount will take a loooong time.
I started out as a level 61 death knight and I have to say: don't do this quest if you don't have a fast mount. You are riding most of the time and I'm really thankful that I had the deathcharger. And I know that I won't do this with my druid until he has a fast mount.
And I don't know IF I will do this with my druid.
All the grinding got me to level 63, I gained around 300g (without the gold the greens and blues will bring in the AH) and i collected 300 Winterfall Spirit Beads.
And there are a lot of people that probably hate me on my server because the Winterfall camp was always very crowded.
I would recommend doing the giant quests to if you are in the same level range as I was because you gain some experience and, at least on my server, nobody seems to care for them.

Good luck everybody with doing this.
And thanks to everybody that is writing helpful comments on wowhead.

Commento di lmanth

My rogue did this before the rep nerf. Took from level 58 to 62 and I spent a lot on buffs when I first started the elite giants quests. Didn't get to go to Outlands and gear up that whole time. Even now that we're in Northrend I still get whispers about my pretty kitty...
My level 80 shammie is doing it now. What a difference. I'm only about 58 intrusion/giants quests from getting it.
My advice is to drop the meat quests as soon as the giants become available. You can do two circuits of both intrusion and giants in the time it will take you to complete one meat quest.
Side bonus is Timbermaw Hold rep. You get about 200 from killing the shamans and ursas, then more for the beads they drop.

Commento di Utena

Okay, here goes... please try to keep the flammage to a controllable level. *Deep breath*

I believe the quests, and in turn the mount, should be made available to Horde players. Why, you ask? Two simple reasons, although the second is, in my opinion, the much more important one.

1. They were going to implement a Horde-varient in Un'Goro crater with a Horde-only spiffy Raptor mount. As we all are well aware, that has of yet not come to pass. Doesn't particularly seem fair that there's one ultra-spiffy mount that is Alliance-only. FYI: I play both Alliance and Horde.

2. C'mon, its in the shadow of Mt. Hyjal, where THE most pivitol battle against the Legion in Azeroth took place; where both the Horde and the Alliance stood united against the might of the demonic Burning Legion and killed one of its top generals, Archimonde. Its such an important piece of Warcraft history that there's even a Caverns of Time instance for it. You would think there would be a small something, anything, commemorating that fact. I know its the World of WARcraft, but there have been heroes and villains on BOTH sides. Its never just as simple as the "Noble Alliance" vs the "Evil Horde". Greatest humanitarian ever: Thrall. Greatest villain ever: Arthas. Those two are but a minute sample of the less-than-simple history of Azeroth. That place, and its history, and the history of both the Alliance and the Horde is steeped in so much awesome lore, that the least Blizz could do is offer a small token commemorating 10+ years of Warcraft awesomeness, and allow such a brilliant and gorgeous mount to be available to both factions in memory of that lore.

*steps off soapbox*

Requires Riding (75!)
Use: Teaches you how to summon this mount. This is a very fast mount.

Has some1 more then I noticed that the wowhead toolotip says: Requires 75 riding. 75 riding is learnable at lvl 30(lvl 20 after patch 3.2)? A mistake by wowhead or do Blizzard think that you don't have to pay the 150 riding skill if you've grinded this much?

Commento di Magma92

As of 3.1 there still is no horde mount.
Refering to the PTR patch notes horde will be able to obtain Whistle of the Venomhide Raptor
In 3.2 Horde will be albe to obtain this mount in 20 days or more (It takes a minimum of 20 days to obtain the mount)
No changes have been made to the alliance mount it will still take players 2-3 months to obtain the mount
Anyone know if they plan to change how long it takes to obtain the alliance mount?

Commento di 338612

No in-game achievement but I'd like to give myself a "Test of Patience Achievement" for completing it. The mount looks great, I've met some good people while grinding, and was able to tame a nice-looking pet too: Rak'shiri http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=10200.

Commento di Hourglass

As the above posters have said, there's no Achievement or Feat of Strength for this. But that's okay, people who do this grind are in it for the mount anyway. And yes for you Hunters who like your pets to be pretty, keep your eyes open for Rak'shiri, a beautiful azure-tinted rare spawn.

I started this grind as soon as I dinged 60. I waited until 60 instead of starting at 58, so I'd have my epic mount. This really isn't a big deal for the initial quest, as there are mobs who drop the Meat are close by. But by the time you start hitting Winterfall Village - and certainly Frostwhisper Gorge - another 40% boost to your travel speed will really make a difference!

It took me a large part of one weekend to finish the grind; Started on a Friday night, grinded a bit, logged. Came back Saturday morning and spent the day grinding (it was a loooooong day), logged. Sunday morning for a couple of hours, finished up.
It wasn't bad at all...It's tedious and repetitive and you're going to hate snowy landscapes by the time you're done, but it isn't the worst grind I've ever done, not by a long shot. The worst part was having to contend with every level 80 on the damn server trying to either do the same grind, or get their Timbermaw trinket.
(I'm not sure what doing something 22 levels, 5 Tier sets and 2 expansions below you is supposed to prove, but oh well.)

That reminds me...if you're thinking of getting Exhalted with Timbermaw Hold, you can very easily do so just by doing the Wintersaber grind. I got my Trinket before I ever got my mount.

Also, running to and from the quest-giver you will often be attacked. If you're doing this in a level-appropriate range, expect a lot of attention from the nearby cats. Every trip.

Anyway, I was level 64 (midway to 65) before I finished. The quests themselves give no XP, but the mobs (especially the Elite giants) give great XP. Even at 64 I was pulling in well over 500 per kill, non-rested. And they are easily soloable.

Not to mention if you have a gathering profession (or two) you can make a killing on Icecap, Thorium, and Rugged Leather. Plus the mobs drop a lot of vendor trash (you'll need to hit Everlook once in a while to empty your bags), the furbolgs drop money and Runecloth, the Elite giants drop a lot of money (and a lot of Frost Protection Potion recipes, lol) and the occasional BoE blue or epic. So don't fret over missing out on Outland loot or XP or gold. You're not going to we wearing anything from Hellfire for long anyway, the XP from the mobs you kill is excellent (the levels will fly by), and you'll rake in plenty of money.

If you're leveling an Alliance character that is still in Azeroth and you're considering going for one of these mounts, I encourage you to go for it. Don't be a slacker and wait until 80; Start doing it at 60 (or even 58 if you're truly patient). Then go back to Ironforge and mock all the 80's who think they're special for doing what you did 20 levels sooner.
It's especially nice while you're sitting at the mailbox collecting all your AH earnings. =)

Finally a couple of notes to cut your travel time...you can set your Hearthstone to Everlook. With the cooldown change from one hour to 30 minutes, it can save you a little time. Those of you two-boxing with the RaF thing, park your RaF partner by the quest-giver and you'll have an instant-port across the zone once per hour. If you're level 69 or 70, bring a Riding Crop. Level 68 or under, do the Spurs/Riding Skill/Carrot thing. Trust me, you'll want to shave every second of travel time you can.

A helpful map can be found over on wowwiki; just look up Wintersaber Trainers. Their Timbermaw reputation grind guide is also good.

Good luck!

I advise you start doing the long and boring quests at level 59,it makes it easier to get skills and you get tons of EXP from killing the mobs...as previously stated you can get a ton of money from the stuff the hostile enemies drop

Commento di 38721

As mentioned before, make sure you do the quest Winterfall Activity before starting this grind! By having that quest completed, you can pick up a lot of Winterfall Spirit Beads, just from killing those Ursas and Shamans.

I personally did Timbermaw Ally and Winterfall Activity, before starting this grind. I've been doing all the Wintersaber quests on every round (drops are currently not bad at all, taking only a minute or two to complete), and I just hit revered with Wintersaber.

I've been killing the entire Winterfall camp every round, instead of just going for 5 Ursas and Shamans, and I hit revered with Timbermaw with just over 300 beads in my pocket. That's almost enough to cross from revered to exalted with Timbermaw. Saves yourself a secondary grind :)

Now that faction transfers are available, if you transfer an Alliance character with this mount over to Horde, you will receive a Venomhide Ravasaur in its place.

One aesthetic reason for grinding this mount is that it is the only swift cat mount that shares a model with the non-swift versions. All of the other swift cats are armored.

It should be noted that this used to be 1000g before exalted discounts. It is apparently now 100g before exalted so it's obviously going to be 80g now instead.

Commento di 465890

I got this FoS today, oktober 6, patch 3.2.2 (10505), on a EU server.

I was suprised I got it, I thought it was available only before 3.2. Reason I got it might be that I started the rep grind 3 years ago?

Highly recomended, all 3 quests when you get them, even in grp. Grping is very good for killing the teddys(and spirit beads for timbermaw rep if you are'nt exalted) and giants(sometimes far apart). Meat not so much, but its a fast kill and lots of Rugged Leather.

10-20mins a lap with all 3 quests. Set HS to Everlook, if you are a Scribe, you have that Scroll of Recall aswell, and if you have the Dalaran ring, it's just sweet. Took 16h or less. Tons of Runecloth, alot of greens and meat, made close to 1K gold buy selling all to vendors, and AH(but thats just cuz my server is like that).

Tips on teddys:

Be in a grp(spread out), learn where the teddys spawn, kill all you see for quicker respawns, park pets at respawn points(on aggro), set traps on respawn points. Teddys are also up on the ridge above the village.

Tips on Giants:

Go right before the bridge, 2 giants, go down. You should have 4 of each now, and no need to go over the bridge. Avoid going near the edge of the cliffs, easy to slipp off.

It took me 4 days to get it, i'm not talking about just slacking, maybe spending a good one hour per day, nope, from lunch till dinner, everyday for 4 days. Did it with my human warrior Intrum-Bronzebeard EU http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Bronzebeard&cn=Intrum. Was a tough grind but i did it :) Pressing complete quest on the last turn in was probably one of the best feelings i've had ;P BTW i suggest skipping the 3rd repeatable where you're supposed to kill the yeti's. I don't have the time to calculate if it's quicker like that but that's how i did it :)

Commento di 401386

I found this guy and began doing the quests, each completion giving me 275 rep with "Windsabre Trainers." There is no notaion in my reputaion window for this faction, so I guess I'm going to have to keep my own score. After four completes at this writing, i should be 1100/3000, Neutral. I've found no other references or quests for this faction....bummer!

Commento di 360470

For my past 20 runs on the provisions, the drop rate is now around 10%, or 100 kills, (3 1/2 stacks of rugged leather plus warbear, thick, etc.). Better to avoid the provisions, far too time consuming.

Had Horde mess with me the whole time doing this for 5 days the same Blood Elf Paladin followed me and tried to steal the kills I swear to God I'm not lying. I usually don't say this since I barley have a social life but I think he was the biggest no life loser I've ever encountered and if you knew me that's saying something.

Commento di Chromell

This is one of the most beautiful land mounts in the game, I feel very sorry for Horde players who can't have it.

But for Alliance players who are up to the task here's how I did it without going nuts:

As many other grindings in the game, this one is particularly very long and exhaustive for two reasons: you start with only one quest to gain reputation and the drop rate for the quest items is not so great. And the quests you can complete once friendly/honored require you to go to quite far away places in order to be completed (this and this). So my advice is: stablish a number, it can be X reputation or Y runs, and do it every day. By no means try to do as many runs as you can in one single day, it will make you tired, bored and possibly angry at Blizz. I suggest trying to earn 3000 reputation per day, that way it will take you 17 days (assuming no bonus reputation gain) to get your mount assuming you are 0/3000 neutral.

Happy grinding.

Commento di Ikayuro

Question. If you have this, and the feat of strength that goes with it, both mount and feat of strength will change to the ravasaur version if you change to horde, correct?

Commento di Vtai

I just finished this grind which took me 2 weeks to complete doing it off and on. I sat for hours and finished up it up from Revered to Exhalted. The grind wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but the limited amount of Winterfalls to kill was annoying. I just wish Blizzard would make the spawn rate of them faster or make them spawn in other locations. Other than that I'm glad I finally have this beautiful mount.

Commento di Warcraftwolf

this past week i as well finished up this quest chain and am now the proud owner of my own Frostsaber and all I have to say is I am glad I did there were times I wanted to give up but I would look at my desktop which has Rivern and Glacier and realize it is worth it. The worst part would be killing the Winterfalls when the realm was full and it seemed as if everyone in Winterspring was doing the quest. All in all it is one quest chain I will not forget doing in a long time.

Commento di 63170

For hunters;
This model closely matches the tameable Frostsaber Pride Watcher cat in northern Winterspring. Coordination GO!

Coming Cataclysm, assuming this mount stays obitainable, the grinding will be MUCH easier since you'll be able to fly in Azeroth, making your travels between turn ins a lot faster.

Commento di Znuff

As a Horde player, I really envy Alliance for having this mount. Our Ravasaur really doesn't compete with the looks of this mount.

Considering how many raptors we, horde players, have available, and the long grind required for this mount, I would feel that this mount should be available to Hordies and the Ravasaur to be available to Alliance players. (I'm sure they've got enough tigers themselves)

Commento di Rhonlynn

I started this, yesterday, with my 80 night elf hunter, cause I wasn't sure if it'll be there after the Cataclysm. In about 3 hours, or a bit more, and countless of turn-in's, I got from neutral to friendly. Ofcourse, the quests are cake at 80, it's the terrain, and running back and forth. There is an elite taurren who walks around, and tried to beat on my night elf, while she was doing the meat turn in quest. When I tried shooting back, the taurren said, "let's not make each other enemies." and walked away.

The rep grind isn't bad. The worst rep grind in the game was for my dwarf to be exalted with Darnassus. That was vicious, also the Settis Sky guy where you get the nether ray flying mount. Also, I am getting timbermaw rep. A long time ago, I accidently killed a few of their own, so I am hated with the timbermaw. So I'll be at it today, when I should be camped to get the spirit beast tamed.

Commento di whitehusky

I spent a lot of time grinding this on my Hunter from level 58 to 60. It was well worth the time spent on it, but I haven't been able to repeat the grind on other characters. My Hunter has since turned Horde and my purple tiger turned into a raptor. :( Now I ride around on my Black War Talbuk because I just don't like the raptor. Horde's mount isn't unique enough in comparison to other raptors as this purple tiger is in comparison to the Night Elf mounts.

I prefer Horde's way of getting the mount, though. Raising a baby tiger to an adult to use as a mount would be so much cooler than a rep grind.

Commento di Nerdstomper

first of all,sorry to guys who farmed this mount years ago,now things are changed,farmed this guy in 2 days with guild perk 10% rep

quest starts from night elf guy Riven Frostwind.When you hit friendly,you will get quest to kill furbolgs.Thats 2 quests,each 250rep 262 with perk.

Reachin honored or revered,cant remember exactly will give you third quest.

after geting all 3 quests i did a little research.Frostsaber provision quest can be done in 2 minutes which gives you 250 rep.

after that i did 3 quests alltogether,which took me about 12-20 mins if i am lucky (usually there is few people farming furbolgs and giants) 250+250+350 = 850 rep in 15min average,so you see what is faster :P

cba to count further cause im not that math expert and forgot half of things to say,but this is for sure the fastest way to farm rep for this beauty.

Commento di Lostelf

dont look as nice as the horde counter-part

Commento di Paulizzfun

Best race/class combo in my opinion for this mount is probably a Night Elf frostmage with blue hair. Well lucky me, that is EXACTLY what my main is and I am already revered with the wintersaber trainers.

Commento di 270680

Just got it last night, and it seems like things have changed again, lately. The first two quests gave 275 rep per turn in, and the giants' quest 385 - that's 930 rep per cycle.

I found that the giants didn't respawn very quickly, so I skipped that one once every 3 cycles. If there aren't enough, don't wait for them to respawn - just skip that quest this run and do it next time, or you'll lose a lot of time.

In the furbolg village it seemed like killing the mobs on the hill to the south caused mobs to respawn in the village - I had no real problems finding shamans doing the hill first, then the village, then the hill again and so on.

In the area between the village and the questgiver it's not hard to find a route that will allow you to chain-kill the bears and then the chimeras without the need to mount up.

On a 310% mount one cycle including the giants took about 8 minutes - expect to see more of these gorgeous sabers!

Commento di Jollygood

I ran this route for months, making sure I did not go utterly insane. It helped to be a level 80-85 for the entire run.

Here are some tips:

1. Be a human character.
1a. If you cannot be a human character, see if you can wheedle your way into a large guild to get the rep. buff.
2. If you are running this during the Thanksgiving festival, there is a reputation buff. You have to stuff yourself at the
table in some particular way. Man, that saved me a lot of time pre-guild rep buff.

The nice thing about #2 was that it forced me to be reasonable. Each day of the festival, I did this once and stopped grinding when the buff wore off.

3. You must have a flying mount. The giants provide a 350 rep benefit and appear to be reachable only by a flying mount.

Here was how I did it once I got to all three quests:

1. Pick up and drop off (like the Car Talk guy's driver) with the crazy cat man.
2. Grab the three quests.
3. Fly to the chillwind bat things and get your lewts to feed the kitties. Do not stop for bears.
4. Go to the furry thing settlement and kill everything in sight. You probably won't get all your shamans.
5. Harass the giant things. If you are a miner, you can mine them, but the drop rate on good things is not really worth it.
6. Kill your bears while harassing the giants. Collect lewts for the kitties.
7. The second you are done killing giants, hit the settlement on the way back to pick up stray furry people, hit the chillwind valley if you are short on bear meat for the kitties.
8. If you see other level 85s farming the village, find another faction to rep grind on. It is not worth the delays.
8a. If you see low levels questing there, let them have the mobs.

If you only have two quests, then just do those :D

More to consider:

If you are serious about this grind, become a miner. Why? Thorium. Why? Darkmoon Faire Rep and tickets. All of the cloth drops are runecloth. You use the thorium and runecloth to make thorium widgets. My main is the pet/mount/achievement collector and is too high a level to benefit from DMF rep. However, my other 'toons are not. I had my rogue ported to Shattrath with bags brimming with thorium widgets (and pelty things from leveling her in Hillsbrad). She went to 2500+ Friendly rep in her very first visit to the Faire.

Commento di 618815

3. You must have a flying mount. The giants provide a 350 rep benefit and appear to be reachable only by a flying mount.

You can ride down to them easily. This quest has been available since vanilla, when there was no old world flying.

A flying mount makes the grind much easier however.

With a flying mount there is no need to do any other quest then http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=4970
Did some runs yesterday just for fun, and the quest above took at avarage 2:40min to complete @ lvl85 with a 280% flying mount.
At the same time it took to do all three quests i managed to complete a little more then 4 runs of the first mentioned.

If its 250 rep per quest (if none human and none guild rep awards) can be achived in 3min flat and 42000rep is the total needed the amount of time just repeating this quest would be (as of today) 42000/250*3/60=8h 15min

Commento di Mortimer

Some changes are coming for the aquirement of this mount in 4.1.0. making it pretty much the same as the Venomhide Ravasaur.

This change will lower the overall time it takes to aquire the mount but will also make it take no less than 20 days to complete. All the current quests are being replaced by a new Main quest and a few random daily quests of which you can only recieve and complete one per day.

The main quest will ask you to raise a Winterspring Cub.
Every day your Winterspring Cub will give you one of a few different daily quests. When completed you will recieve a Winterspring Cub Whisker.
After having collected 20 cub whiskers you hand those in together with 20x Rugged Leather, 20x Runecloth and 80 gold to Rivern Frostwind to recieve your now fully grown Winterspring Frostsaber.

These daily quests do not appear to give reputation towards the Wintersaber Trainers on the current PTR-build, making you unable to become exalted with them for the time being.

Commento di Noiryx

I can confirm that the Human Racial and the Guild Perk do stack, leading up to 300 rep (+20% rep bonus).

Commento di 430060

This is really a breeze to do now. With the ability to fly now, you can literally do it in a day. The drop rates for the 2 meats are 100% and there are a couple more shaman now. The giants are easy as well provided you can down them easily. Simply start on one of the sides of the ridge where they spawn and run all the way across to the other side and you'll get your kills. With the guild rep gain I was able to get 935 rep(honored through exalted) per trip back to the trainer. Humans will be able to get even more.

There is also a fun little achievement that you can complete in the area while doing the quests its called E'ko Madness.

Commento di Cicala

Hello,

I just wanted to know if farming rep will still be a requisit for getting the mount since everybody is saying that after the next patch you will optain it trough a quest chain like the hordes do (not sure how that is)
I am asking because if I dont need to be exalted there is no need to keep farming.

Thanks

Commento di 653065

I obtained this mount on my Priest at lvl 70. I'd trained before at 60 and didn't feel like spending months and months to get it back them so I give respect to those who got this mount back in vanilla. It took me about a week of doing these quests to get this mount. The drop rates are way better. I would grab the three quests, then run a circle completing them until I had all of them done. I did this for about 6 hours a day, for bout 5-6 days and finally got the mount. This rep grind will be cut in half now because of the 10% rep increase from guild. More people are going to have this mount. I believe this is kinda lame for those who obtained it back in vanilla. I think blizzard should compensate for the time the put into getting this mount back then. Anyway, love this mount. I've heard people say the new mount looks are much better, I disagree. I love the way this mount looks. It reminds me of the epic night-saber mounts back in vanilla. The ones with no armor. =) miss those! So I love this mount!

Commento di Zorrah

After procrastinating for a looooong time I finally got this on my mage.

I was at 10,000/12,000 honored...almost revered and I read the patch notes. Got a few thousand a couple days ago and managed 20K today.

I got this mount on my lock 2 years ago..in 16 hours....and I've gotten the horde mount in the 20 days...but I didn't want to give up the rep I'd gotten on my mage...so I did the grind...before the patch hit.

level 70 mage, ice lanced, fire blast everything...5-6 minutes for the closest quests and about 1/2 through I skipped the giants quest as I found the flying time lost actual rep/time as it would take me 13-15 minutes total. I could complete the other two faster.

Complete this while you can...probably not much time left!

Commento di 812063

4.1 is out, winterspring could be obtained through a quest line.

Commento di ParadoxFactor

Looks like the mount is now done via a 20 quest line similar to the Horde's Venomhide Ravasaur. Note thing to note though, I was already at Exalted with the Wintersaber trainers pre patch and when I talked to the trainer, he still had the mount available for sale. Also, out of curiosity a friend and I tried sharing the quests Frostsaber Provisions , Winterfall Intrusion, and Rampaging Giants, letting her turn them in, then having me share them back to her. This worked and she still got rep for the quests. So you still can get Exalted with the Wintersaber Trainers faction. What's not known is if you hit exalted doing this will you be able to buy the mount like you could prepatch.

Your guide for this quest is awesome, I can't thank you enough for posting it, gosh I can't wait to complete it!

I'm a little stuck on , how do you run some of the same quests over again each day other than the one for feeding your cub to collect the whiskers, I get that because I can click on the blue question mark each day and the quest comes up for the hunt

but what about the others you mentioned you could run more than once?

I need to make a toy at some point, I need a tough yeti hide from any ice thistle yeti and 5 wildkin feathers? Hmm did I miss something perhaps in some of the quests that I already completed?

I saw this mount today and it reminded me, that I have it myself. Got it a long time ago.
I went into my mount collection to check up on what mounts I have so far and realized, that for some reason my Winterspring Frostsaber was removed.
Is this a glitch or did Blizzard do something at the launch of Cata? :(

Seems extremely weird to me, that a mount I've obtained for so many months ago, can disappear just like that.

Instead of downrate the comments, could you at least be somehow mature and write why ? o.O

Don't know why people are voting this down ... it's totally true ... this was a VERY hard grind when it was first available. IF blizz are going to discount the work people did before you should at least get SOME recognition of it

If you discard your whiskers and do the daily for 1-3 more days (depending on guild perks/racial bonus etc) then you can hit Exalted with the Addestratori delle Fiere Glaciali and then buy this directly from Rivern Brezzafredda for 70g. Saves 10g in cash as well as however much 20 Cuoio Duro and 20 Tessuto di Telarunica costs on your server.

Very cool mount to the Alterac Valley battleground.

Commento di Toadem

I am on the 4th day of the daily and so far I have 8 whiskers, I have noticed there is in fact 2 dailies per day and not 1 for the mount.
I'm unsure if this is a bug or not but if you do the daily just after the dailies reset then go back to Winterspring again exactly an hour before the dailies are due to reset again your pet has another daily for you to do making it possible to earn 2 whiskers per day.

Commento di 432018

with this new patch, 5.0.4, most mounts are account wide which this mount is but it seams that this mount is only account wide for alliance characters. I am guessing that you must get the horde equivalent on a horde char for all horde char to have this mount.

This is no longer true. Here is text from an email from Blizzard I received this morning:

After doing research on how faction changes work with the new Account system, I'm afraid I have the answer as to why you aren't seeing your mounts. Directly from our Frequently Asked question page that you linked to me, it mentions that Account-wide mounts will not be exchanged for cross-faction equivalents. https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/faction-change-faq#q9.

Please update this page, as I and others rely on the information here.

As of 5.0.5b, you no longer have to worry about the mount not transferring from one faction to another. If you have already faction changed, open a ticket and a GM will add the mount to your tab.

I wuv this mount! :3 So furry ^.^

Commento di digitalutopia1

While others have pointed out that if you do a faction change to Horde, this mount will be converted to , it's also worth mentioning that the same applies to any Horde characters you create as well. After doing the quests to get Fischietto del Devasauro Malapelle on my Horde characters, I was quite surprised when I noticed this guy in my pet journal on my Alliance character.

Commento di ceasure

had made a 49 twink and got the Fischietto del Devasauro Malapelle. Then I faction changed to Alliance so I had a unique mount for my lvl and now it's account wide (Crescono così in fretta requires lvl 50). What a waste of money that was. Oh well at least I had a load of /w by people calling me a hacker or asking me how I did it. Fun times.

Edit: Since many of you didn't understand: what I meant was that when I faction changed my ravasaur became the frostsaber hurr durr.

I found this randomly in my mount collection and i didn't complete the quest... How did i get it?

Commento di quicklyies

You get a winterspring cub, you have to do a daily, to get winterspring cub whisker, you will need 20, so it will take 20 days

Commento di Volleynova

In 2005, I was third on my server to get this mount, back when the questing for it required a ridiculous amount of devotion and time. I spent 2.5 weeks on it, about 8 hours per day. Yes, back then I had no life, but the reward resulted in me using this as my primary mount until The Burning Crusade introduced flying mounts in January 2007.

I tell you, there is nothing like sitting in Ironforge and having nearly every person who walks by stop and look at this mount.

Commento di Rayanna

If you completed the grind and got your Winterspring Frostsaber on your Alliance character, you will now automatically have the Venomhide Ravasaur mount on any Horde characters that share the same account.

Commento di Unflawedx

As Rayanna mentioned there is a bug where you can get all 4 quests in the same daily lockout, making you complete it in 5 days instead of 20. Earning 4 whiskers a day. Each day you have potential to get 1 out of 4 of these quests.

Le brame di un cucciolo
Un prestito dai Freddinverno
Il primo giocattolo del cucciolo
Addestramento di caccia

Now after you've completed the daily on you current realm, you can abuse the mechanic of switching realms. Now if you're someone like me and don't have friends cross server. Here's what you can do. Now i have only tested this on my 90, quite unsure how you could abuse this if you don't have friends cross server pre-90

Hit your friends tab. Next to your chat box, with the number of friends currently online, or simply hit O on your keyboard. Go to "Raid" and click "Other Raids" and what i do is i list myself under celestials. I wait for a invite, and i get transferred to another realm. Pull out my cub, and there should be the another daily for you're whiskers. Now if you don't get it, you probably got you're previous quest on that server, so just leave. And rinse and repeat.

If you have a level 2 stables which allows you to gather and whatnot mounted, this mount is the best for it.
It doesn't make it any faster, but if you gather herbs on this mount, it actually digs them up for you in a cool animation. :D

Commento di ChronoAS

You will need 20 of Vibrisse di Cucciolo di Fiera Glaciale. You gain 1 of those per 1 daily.
That takes 20 days in total.
But you can do it faster in only 5 days!

There are 4 different dailies:
Un prestito dai Freddinverno
Le brame di un cucciolo
Il primo giocattolo del cucciolo
Addestramento di caccia

Different realms have different dailies. You can change realms in game and complete all 4 of them in a single day.
I used Server Hop addon to change realms

Good luck!

Commento di SilverDragon234

Best sabrecat mount there is. Can't miss that lavender coat.

Commento di Ozette

If you miss ! any one day out of the 20 days, Will you loss the Quest and can you start over ?

Commento di BubbaDucky

Can anyone confirm that this is still available in the game?

Commento di Sunnyko2

Little tip for Death Knights in legion, if you want to get all 4 quests in one day, keep the cub out and use your Death Gate while in Winterspring. once back at there find someone in a different realm and ask them to invite you to a group or vice versa, another quests will appear above your cub. once you get the quests use your Death gate to teleport back to winterspring.

Commento di Moltenmage

To get started with this quest chain speak to Rivern Frostwind who is located in Winterspring here /way 46.64, 17.69 Rivern Frostwind

He will give you a quest called "Get Them While They are Young" complete that quest, then he will give you a quest called "They Grow Up So Fast" to complete this quest you'll need 80g, 20 Runecloth, 20 Rugged Leather, and 20 Winterspring Cub Whiskers. To get the Whiskers you'll need to complete a 20 day daily quest chain given to you by the Winterspring Cub.

Once you add this to your collection, you will have also added the one for the opposite faction. You will also get two Feats of Strength achievements, one for Horde and one for Alliance. It will not tell you that you got the other mount or other achievement. You'll have to view your mount tab and look at the mounts you can't ride, and for the achievement I think you have to be logged on to a character of the other faction for it to even show.

Mounts:

Venomhide Ravasaur
Winterspring Frostsaber

Feats of Strength achievements:

Venomhide Ravasaur
Winterspring Frostsaber

If the one amount by itself isn't worth it for you, then maybe two mounts along with two Feats of Strength achievements are. If you're a Gnomish engineer and playing Horde, use the Ultrasafe Transporter: Gadgetzan toy to get you near the questing area everyday and you can knock out the daily within five minutes.

Keep in mind if you are a completionist, the main quest, including whatever dailies you do (of the four), will only be completed on the character you do them on. So, if you're concerned about that, you might want to do it on your main.

Commento di maleman84

2023 update: Still attainable. He will give you a quest to collect 8 cubs. Once you complete that, you'll get a new quest that will award the mount. The new quest 'They Grow Up So Fast' requires you to summon a cat pet that will give you a daily quest. The daily quest will award you 1 'whisker'. You'll need 20 whiskers for the mount among some other mats you can easily get from the AH. So it will take you minimum 20 days to complete if you log in every day and do this quest.

Commento di Biancamella

This toy Squarciatore Dimensionale: Lungavista can teleport you directly to Fontefredda every day to farm your mount faster. Zap Granspasso at /way 59.7, 49.8, in Fontefredda can teach you the recipe.
