Hello all,

I am pleased to announce that I am the owner of the The One's first epic flying mount.

I made the purchase on Friday evening with the total price being 5000g for the training and 200g for the mount.  I picked the Swift Blue Gryphon in honor of our talbard colors.

I was saving before TBC for this mount and had hoped to get it just after hitting 70 but I made a few purchases along the way from 60 to 70 which cut down my funds. I also purchased two epic crafting plans, The Gauntlets of the Iron Tower and Dirge. I sold these instead of keeping them, as I was frustrated with the new crafting system for TBC, as nearly all epic plans require primal nethers which are BoE and are something I do not have time to farm.

Themel's famous money belt contributed heavily to the purchase and as a result, I have broken the bank. Themel only has 25g now and will need to build his fortune anew.

But let me tell you... IT'S WORTH IT!

I am a freaking jet fighter! The speed is more or less equivilent to the speed that the flight path gryphons have. It's so fast that if you do not pause now and then the game doesn't have time to load the data for the mobs that are beneath you. It's totally addictive and my feet have barely touched the ground since. 

Keep a look out above you and watch the skies for a heavily armed streak of blue!
