Looks like we will be flying in Draenor after all... Blizzard "caved".
Patch 6.2 was marked as a "Release" on PTR and we can expect the launch announcement any time now.
Be prepared to spread the wings of your flying mounts but, you will need to meet a few conditions. Patch 6.2 brings new meta-achievement called [Draenor Pathfinder] and in order to obtain it, you will need to complete following:
- Achievement [Explore Draenor]: Head to every corner of Draenor and reveal every obscured section of the map.
- Achievement [Treasure Hunter]: Only 100 are required. If you don't have 100, download HandyNotes_DraenorTreasures addon (HandyNotes is required for it to work) and collect them. If you don't want to bother with addons, you can buy Treasure Maps from Grakis (Stormshield) and Srikka (Warspear) at a price of 100 gold pieces per Map.
- Achievement [Loremaster of Draenor]: Only main Quest Chains need to be completed. If you didn't do them... What are you waiting for?
- Achievement [Securing Draenor]: Bonus Objectives / Apexis Daily Quests. If you haven't completed them by now, you can buy Scouting Missives from Sergeant Crowler (A) and/or Sergeant Grimjaw (H).
- Earn Revered status with 3 new Tanaan Jungle factions coming in Patch 6.2:
The Saberstalkers, Order of the Awakened, Hand of the Prophet (A) / Vol'jin's Headhunters (H)
Initially, this new meta-achievement will give a new mount as a reward, The Soaring Skyterror. There are no images related to this mount for now but, using in consideration the name we may be looking at a re-color of either a [Dread Raven] or [Iron Skyreaver]. You never know, though... We may be looking at something new as well.
Players will remain ground-bound on Draenor until a small follow-up
patch (6.2.x), when all players who have earned Draenor Pathfinder on at
least one character will unlock the ability to fly in Draenor on all their level 90+ characters.
A new Mount is introduced as a Garrison Mission reward as well. If you are annoyed with camping [Poundfist] for hours only to find out he spawned some time after you left the party, like it happened with me a few times because I got tired of waiting, you will have a chance to obtain your own [Coalfist Gronnling] by sending your Followers to do the camping for you :)
Mission is called [Breaker Two] (our fans for sure), it will cost you a 100 Resources and will be 12 hours long.
New rewards from Garrison Missions, introduced in Patch 6.2 include following:
[Elixir of the Rapid Mind], [Frozen Arms of a Hero], [Burning Blade], [Medallion of the Legion], [Cinder Pup], [Bulging Barrel of Oil], [Huge Ogre Cache], [Champion's Honor], and [Void-Shrouded Satcher] which gives a nice Heirloom Trinket [Touch of the Void].
