Remember that the Vendor Materials are only sold in Uldum. For posting operations in TSM its pretty straightforward. I strongly suggest canceling and reposting often.

Doing this a couple of times throughout the day on the Armory app will usually yield faster sales. I wont necessarily recommend farming the recipe, as it is horrendously time consuming, but the end results are pretty fantastic if you do.

If i had been posting more aggresively, my profits would probably be even higher I have prioritised enchanting and Jewelcrafting lately. You should be able to make a copy. Just click file and there should be an option to make a copy in your drive.

You need to take into account Transmute: Living Elements I use it to transform the cheap Volatile Life into whichever element is most expensive for Transmute: Truegold. It should also have a cell that tells you which zone to xmute your V. Life in in order to target the correct element. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. I completely figure that Blizzard would not make this take up an inventory space, but I'm curious what exactly happens when it's used.

Comment by Now I'll have a legit excuse to tell a person in WoW to "ride me. Comment by OutlanderEngine The most important question: Can you gather herbs while transformed, like a druids flight form? Comment by Maybe the recipe drops from Tiny Treasure Chest which you get from killing mobs while under the effect of Potion of Treasure Finding. And it only drops for Alchemists at Im only speculating and im sure it has been said before.

Comment by So will this be reusable, kinda like the chopper? AFK on bank steps mount if so. Comment by Alchemists Comment by Anyone knows where the vendors for the mats are? I almost have half the money already:. Comment by Hey guys I have a question about this awesome drake: Has anyone been able to find any info on whether this mount is usable if you abandon Alchemy? It doesn't say anywhere that it requires alchemy so I am guessing it's possible it still works?

I am guessing that using the item will put the sandstone drake spell in the mounts tab? Comment by Just crafted this baby 20mins ago on Ragnaros, Eu. Cost me my roughly 65k gold because rushing to get it, should be cheaper if you craft your own Truegold Bars. Also the mounting seems to be bugged, passenger sits between the front claws. Too bad you cant drop them from the sky cause they get parachutes. Comment by Honestly, I think Alchemists are getting a little ripped off.

Engineering gets unique looking ground and air mounts. Tailoring gets flying carpets. Very unique. Alchemy gets this.

Very cool concept, but the model is very disappointing. Not because of the looks. It looks great. It's just the fact that it shares the same model as the other stone drakes in Cataclysm.

For such an expensive mount that is going to take a LOT of gold, time, and effort to acquire, I think alchemists deserve a unique model. Every other profession that produces mounts gets a completely unique model. Why not Alchemy?

I opened the jar expecting the recipe to be in there, and it wasn't. Comment by tangless Got the pattern today, will be able to craft before the end of the week. Comment by doozer On the bright side if you're out ganking with a buddy your opponents are going to crap their pants as your buddies mount turns into another character.

Comment by I learned this today. The mount is not listed as BOP anymore! It was hotfixed dec. Now I should think of a catchy sale line.. Goblin racial will give you a discount on the vendor materials and the materials also seem to be tradable. So get a goblin to buy them for you if you are horde. Happy farming!

Comment by As far as I can see, this is by far the most epic mount in cataclysm. While the others might be cool, this is just You not only need to have an absolutely colossal amount of capital, but either the time or money to collect all the other ingredients See you guys in six months :D.

Comment by Saethori After seeing someone try to sell this mount on Trade for a price triple its mats, no less , it made me seriously rethink all the work I've been putting in on farming Archaeology on my alchemist. Before, when it was Bind on Pickup, it was the kind of mount an alchemist could use as a symbol of station. You work incredibly hard to obtain the recipe, you work incredibly hard to earn the gold to afford the materials, and you use so many of your transmutation cooldowns to get the Truegold you require.

And the reward was personal, it was unique, and it was worth it. Now that it's freely tradeable, it's not a sign of how hard you worked. It's not a sign of the effort you put into it. Now, it's merely a novelty mount that carries about as much prestige as the Celestial Steed or Mechano-hog does; which is to say, not much at all.

In many circles, even having a mount that costs large quantities of gold gets you accused of gold-buying, and that's never something you can shake off. It's gone from a one-of-a-kind item that made people think "Wow, I'm glad I'm an alchemist" when it was revealed, down to "yet another goldsink for a novelty item". Comment by You are missing the mats to the Pyrite Bar. Comment by sunsmoon This mount is no longer BOP, so skilling up Alchemy with the intent to drop it is no longer required.

Comment by Malediction Good news, everybody! This item is no longer Bind-on-Pickup as of today! Now we may all mount our friends as the Good Lord intended. Comment by timbaLt This item is no longer BoP. Get selling, alchemists! Comment by thal For those of you still wondering about this all it is the new Mekgineer's Chopper that flies.

Comment by Instaq According to the blueposts and the update dec You can now make this mount and sell it. Comment by Still people say its 29k for vendor materials. This is true for alliance. Comment by Yorker I'm wary of the controls of this mount.

If it works like some of the mammoths in Wrath, I'll avoid it. If it works like any other standard mount, then I'll start saving up money to get it. In other words, vehicles bad, mounts good. Comment by ares i am still looking for this recipe Comment by The recipe is looted through arch. Start saving folks! Comment by regma Nice. Maybe this time I can make some money. Comment by I suppose it was somewhat unfair to give one profession such a cool and unique mount, but this change still sucks as an alchemist.

I've been saving truegold bars, transmuted from mats farmed myself since day 2. I did this in order to save the gold necessary to buy the vendor mats later on for this mount. I was very much looking forward to having a somewhat rare and unique mount from all my hard work. Maybe I wanted it for the wrong reasons - but IMO much of the fun in this game is obtaining unique items that not everyone can get. Now any fool who buys gold can just spam trade chat "LF someone 2 craft sandspire dragon mount potion!

On some level, I thought this change was coming. Still, disappointing nonetheless. Comment by i just noticed the passenger sits under its claws, i think it might be bugged. Comment by ledbullet so do i need to have max alchemy and max archaeology to discover the recipe for this mount? This is the most up-to-date information I could find, most of which can be found in related pages.

Just thought I'd put it all together. Talk to the quest giver of your current mastery and pay a g fee. Then talk to the quest giver of the next mastery and instantly get the new one. Transmute Master - Zarevhi, in Stormspire in Netherstorm.

Elixir Master - Lorokeem, in Shattrath City. Transmute Living Elements is also affected by this bonus and depending on where you are can have predictable outcomes, excluding the bonus itself. Goblins this means you too. I have not been able to find any reliable info on that though.

Comment by Ajial Got it crafted for the 48kg mats and sold for 80k : Nice profit, it's easy to sell many people with loads of money don't bother to look what the mats actually costs. Comment by lightgate I'm very confused and would like a clean answer. Would any kind soul shed a light on this for me? Comment by This mount is a very impressive piece of Alchemy. If you Alchemy specialized players are thinking of creating this mount, heres a very helpfull list and a few tips for ya.

Tip 1: You must have max Archaeology to learn this. It is learned randomly during Alchemy work, but the items that have a chance to show you are unknown by me, but are most likely Flasks. Tip 2: Go Transmutation Mastery. Your able to sometimes make more than 1 product from 1 set of mats! Tip 3: This is a list of mats all broke down, so if your going to do this, read the list and then decide on what course of action you would like to take! Farmable off of Cata fire elementals.

Farmable off of Cata air elementals. Farmable off of Cata water elementals. Farmable off of Cata earth elementals. Obtained from Cata herbs. Farmable off of some Cata plants.

Alchemy cannot make or farm this, so you have to buy it from AH. Found in Cata water areas. Mainly farmed in Vashj'ir. Found near Cata rivers and lakes. Mainly farmed in Uldum x Found in all Cata areas besides Vashj'ir. Purchaced from any Alchemist supplies vendors. Transmute Cooldowns: hours 2. Farming Herbs: 15 hours - Do during CD, and this is deleted 3.

Tip 5: If you skip transmuting and buy the materials yourself, this will go plently faster, but it will cost more. This is where you can ask yourself, would i rather spend the time farming this, or buy all the mats myself.

Tip 6: Farm herbs in Tol Barad. This area has every type of herb in a small area that enables you to gather your herbs quickly as opposed to the large terrain of Vashj'ir Tip 7: Before you farm elementals for Volatiles, use a so you have a better chance to get the materials and you can get done faster. I hope this somewhat lengthy guide has helped you World of Warcraft members! Comment by Mibopo Will this mount be usable in BG?

Comment by KingNothing73 I've seen some people say that there are only four Tol'vir dig sites. That is incorrect. Yes, you can only get up to four at a time , but there are eight or nine different Tol'vir sites which can spawn.

According to wowdigs. If you have one Tol'vir site already available, the chance of the new spawn being Tol'vir is If you have two, the chance is Having Tol'vir sites already available to you diminishes your probability of getting another one on a new spawn. Due to this, it might not be a good idea to try to "load up" on them.

If you get one, you should dig it as soon as possible. For instance, when I'm in northern Kalimdor and a Tol'vir site spawns, instead of working my way south and doing sites along the way, I hearth to Stormwind and then take the portal to Uldum. The probability differences may not seem like a lot, but due to the amount of grinding involved in this endeavor, it could save you a bit of time. Comment by Toxn I just picked this up today and it is pretty sweet.

Except the seating is messed up because when someone mounts me giggle they end up sitting inside of me. Plus my name shows up beneath me. Comment by Say hello to the new Mekgineer's Chopper Comment by kronchev Now that it's BOE, you have no reason to ever be an alchemist. Thanks Blizzard! You took away the one cool thing Alchemy had! Comment by Crimsonlord I saw a horde with this one. I yelled: "I'm gunna punch that dragon in the face!

Comment by I made this today and its very buggy atm, your name is showed on your feet and passanger will be carried on the feets too. Comment by What about mages and preists?

And remember. Comment by Simayi Some observations on the Vial of the Sands and the Sandstone Drake: - If someone uses a Potion of Illusion next to someone transformed into a Sandstone Drake, they will themselves turn into a Sandstone Drake that cannot fly!

For added hilarity, the imbiber of the Potion of Illusion can then 'mount' the other Drake if they're in the same party for some.

Try taking your worst enemy or best friend for a flight high above, then tell them you have to go afk for a bit and see what choice they make!

Comment by Post on wow forums about not breaking shapeshift when transformed form Comment by Ok, I got mine today and its a little buggy to say the least! I dont think this is intended as it looks wierd and there is a saddle. Well will have to wait and see! Grubby - Silvermoon EU. Comment by Lidmo Costs 15g to deposit this for 48 hours in the AH. If the ss doesn't get through, there's always this link.

Comment by Deathturtle Got the recipe on Sunday, finished assembling the mats on Monday. Monday I made 4 mounts for people charging 3K gold with their mats.

The lack of a CD is very nice. I also put one up at auction for 55K, which I eventually took down and sold for 49K. I estimate my day one profit at 21k, maybe a bit less as I spent a bit of money for Truegold CD's and volatiles are still quite pricey.

I am currently assembling mats for 2 Vials now with the likely intent of keeping one for myself. I should have the next Vial complete tonight to go up on Auction again. Although this was an extremely annoying grind to get the recipe, it appears to be paying dividends. At this point I know of only one other person on my server with the recipe, and that person does not appear to be marketing much or advertising much. I have talked to seeral achemists still trying for this and a few have mentioned they may just give up and get me to make them the mount.

For me I had to craft the base 7 commons, a fragment rare and an additional 10 commons to get the recipe, fragments with only perhaps 4 Hieroglyphs I had very poor luck with those. One poor fellow on my server has made 5 jars with no recipe. Comment by gobgobbutt I got the Vial of Sands recipe the other day after my third canopic jar.

Took five days of 12 hours a day grinding. Over fragments and it's the only time getting 2 rares would annoy someone.

Worth it in every way. I just made my mount and found a few things out. At the moment you dont site on top, but rather you sit midair at the claws. The recipe grind and mats are not for the faint of heart. Please give some respect to those who did the grind for this.

Going for a 5k tip on both of my servers and it's not comparable to the chopper because the grind for this is much worse than a grind to exalted. Comment by I just got this recipe 4 days ago out of my first canopic jar. I was elated. Now im only 5 trugold transmutes from the mount. From what ive heard I am at this point the only person on my server to obtain the recipe. Since it is listed under mounts, im going to say no, but man, that would be legen Comment by Slisher If you have this awesome set of pixels, enter the Gnome Machine during Winter Veil when in drake form for laughs.

Comment by A friend of me told me that Tol'vir Fragments, the mount can drop whitout the Recipe is that correct? Comment by step 1: have someone mount you. Comment by Skornaq Having recently obtained this mount, I figured I would share my experience with the people who, like me, are usually happy to see more than g.

Consider it a beginners guide and a tale of my experience as well. I hope it helps. To start off, for you who never see more than a few thousand gold at a time, this is not impossible! Truegold will be a major money sink. Take up mining. Elementium on my server, Argent Dawn EU goes for g a stack, and whilst I cannot speak for the economies of other servers, the nodes have a good chance of yielding the Volatile Elements which sell just as well and will be useful later..

I used this route. With that route I was able to procure about 30 stacks in a 4 hour farming session. I recommend music and or, pizza. When you mine, you will come across the Volatile elements of water, fire or earth, which you will want to amass in large quantities.

Every 30 or so stacks I would drop them on the AH, and they would be sold by morning. Another reason I say take mining is the chance of Volatile Elements and Pyrite.

These are key ingredients in Transmuting Truegold, and by doing so, you can save yourself g per bar of Truegold, assuming people sell their Cooldowns for fair prices. Volatile air is obtainable from some sort of, engineering doo-dad that helps gather air from mining and skinning, or you could buy it from the AH, I would guess for roughly 30g per 1, Again, using my servers economy. However for those of you who have plenty of time or are tanks, queue for Vortex Pinnacle, it can yield 10 Volatiles a time if youre lucky.

If you can, do it with friends, and ask them to pass the Airs over to you. Clear up to Altarius and reset, because after that, the mobs wont drop the air. As you slowly create your truegold bars and sell your elementium, you will, hopefully, see your wealth increasing, if only marginally at first.

I say this, get your Truegold out the way, you will need 12 bars. After the Truegold, maybe use some of your wealth to get the Flasks. Flask of the Winds are about g per, on my server, and you will need 8. Flask of Titanic Strength are about g per, again, you need 8.

Stoneskin Oil. Whilst assembling these, make sure you keep dedicated to your route of mining! Yes, other people may be there, but the nodes will respawn, and youre guaranteed something, I know, I play the most populated EU server.

Now its the final 29k push, and if you have been mining like you should, you should have a little left over.

I had enough to buy the Pyrium Laced Crystaline Vial, thats 5k off the total. All in all, it took me a week of 5 hour farming sessions and selling Volatiles on the trade channel to get this mount.

Offer a generous tip to the craftsman, I paid 1k and fly away. Worth every second. I did not make this comment to gloat, and some of you will have better, more buisness like ways of making gold. So you pull in g an hour, I made this comment for the people who do not have such skill and may want a push in the right direction. If you have any more questions, feel free to drop by Argent Dawn EU and ask me. Tyrolen - Human Paladin. Hope this helps, and gets you on the way to carrying people on your back Edit- They took away my map, so I will simplify it as flying around the northern edge, down the western mountains, cutting over to the first cliffs you come across, flying over the vally with the diseased birds, and coming back up to the north-eastern most corner of the northern mountain range.

Edit 2 - I realise the prices are slightly exagerated, what with Cata now common place and the materials now being sold at a much more reasonable price, including the ore, but I would still stick to this method if only for the money and the volatiles you can mine. Comment by Anyone else think the recipe is a wee bit ridiculous drop? I mean first you have to have Tol'vir sites spawn, which only spawn in Uldum. Then you have to have the jar come up to build it and then you might actually have the chance of finding this recipe.

Kinda reminds me of an old episode of Futurama where Fry's nephew finds oil in the basement of the mansion he won in the lottery. One of these on AH for k gold Comment by dubs Haven't seen this answered anywhere Does this have a normal mount cast time or is it an instant transformation? Perhaps we are just super lucky though who knows.

Comment by The recipe is from Canopic Jar the pattern is BoP and you get the flasks from alchemy, truegold can be obtain from Alchemy as well with the transmution CD. Making the raw mats gold. It is BoE so anyone can have it. I'm not sure if you drink it and get a dragon form, or you have use the vial constantly to mount. I do know its 1. Once in dragon form you can allow people to jump on you and act as a passenger.

You can not kick off the passenger but you can have some fun by un-mounting and slowfalling down or using birdform and watch as your passenger dies xD Hope this helps! Comment by Just to clear up any misconceptions, this mount is not an instant cast. I'm not sure if this is intended or not, but I just made one today.

Also, it is bugged just like the other dragon mounts: your passenger is 'sitting' under your neck. And an edit: If you fly up high and 'shapeshift,' you will fall to your death - but your passenger will get a nifty little parachute. Also, if you try to strand a low-level friend on top of something and they don't have a way to fly, they will get a parachute as they jump off, as well.

Also, I confirmed that your passenger can be any level. Comment by Saphris It took me about 2 weeks to farm the gold and materials for this mount, i sold it in the AH for 90k and bought the materials over again so i could make my friend one too. The drake currently has the same glitch as all the other stone drakes you appear below the claws and floating but only to the person riding you. Also -a dissapointment- Taurens turn into the same size drake that everyone else turns into, its not bigger like most mounts taurens use.

Comment by Hi all, Got this today and I can tell you the following. I think thats it really, anymore questions and I will answer them. Comment by Supercool Reportedly, if you fly into Netherwing Ledge in Shadowmoon Valley while shapeshifted you'll get a "Can't mount while shapeshifted" error message, and be transformed into a Shadowmoon orc swimming through the air at mounted speed.
