The last call for the most expensive mount so far in World of Warcraft. In less than 48 hours the super mount with the auction house will no longer be available.
The last hours before the big pre-patch 9.0 have begun in World of Warcraft. While most players are looking forward to the new content, such as the level squish or more character customizations, a group is starting to feel anxious. Many players are desperately trying to scrape together 5 million gold coins before a coveted mount disappears into oblivion.
What is it about? We’re talking about the Mighty Caravan Brutosaurus. This giant mount can only be purchased until Wednesday morning (October 14th) from the vendors Talut (Dazar’alor, Horde) or the cunning Nick (Boralus, Alliance). It costs a whopping 5,000,000 gold coins, making it the currently most expensive mount in the game.
Laughing with memes about the loss: The World of Warcraft subreddit has some memes and comments about the Brutosaurus. Many players have tried to obtain the mount in recent months. But now, in the final moments, anxiety suddenly rises. Some are stuck at 4.6 million gold and realize that it might not be enough to get the Brutosaurus in time. That’s how this little video came about, summarizing the players’ despair:
Why is the mount so coveted? Partly due to its exclusivity. A mount that is only available for a limited time naturally sparks the desire to own it. However, the mount is also popular with other players. In Boralus, it pleases other players when someone rides the Brutosaurus and offers an auction house. It saves a trip to Stormwind or any of the other capitals, as transactions can be made directly on-site.
Can the mount still be obtained? Yes, but it will be significantly harder. Instead of buying the Caravan Brutosaurus directly from a vendor, it occasionally appears in the black market auction house. There, it will likely be fiercely contested, meaning prices will surely exceed the 5,000,000 gold coins. Also, it may take weeks or even months before the dino shows up there.
Did you get the dino in time? Or have you long accepted that the Mighty Caravan Brutosaurus will never be within reach? By the way, some other things will also disappear…
