nice a new fidget spinner mount

Comment by Uncledanny

This mount is obtained from clearing 8/8 Mythic hard mode Tazavesh, the Veiled Market. Due to it also being an achievement mount from Fake It 'Til You Make It, its basically a guaranteed drop chance!

Did the achievement today, Mailroom Mayhem bugged and So'leah was crazy, but overall it should be doable by any group of people at 220, the healer's gear is the most important since a low healer will prevent you from beating So'leah no matter the rest of the group.

Edit: Did it a second time today, Mailroom Mayhem is easiest having your healer go DPS, then using flasks and hero, ignoring all soaks and bombs we killed her as the first bomb exploded. Additionally you can have a stealth class run from the portal room to the oasis to let your group skip about seven trash packs, as long as the portals are reachable from the entrance.

Got this last night with a group of around 224-ish average ilvl. Overall good fun dungeon, quite intensive on the healer at these ilvls but we had a blast doing it. The mount has a unique summoning animation where it opens one of the broker portals on the ground and the mount pops out from it as well as a cool loop-de-loop mount special. You also stand upright on it instead of in the stealthed animation as on the mage class mounts from Legion. Great mount, worth getting!

Just got this achievement and mount. I joined a group that was already on the final boss. I didn't have credentials or the quest or anything to begin hardmode. I had never stepped foot in Tazavesh Hardmode prior to this. You are able to get this achievement and mount without all of that.

Oh they changed the mega dungeon mount rewarding system, nice. Did Mechagon when it was relevant and was disappointed to learn that the "100% chance" was for someone in the group to get it, but the other four would be left high and dry. Glad for the change, because that did not feel fun at all.

When you mount up with a gnome or mechagnome, instead of jumping, he/she will teleport onto the glider. It is a very cool, unique mount up animation for the short ones :-)

For anyone else that's an idiot like me - it goes straight into your mount inventory, not your bags as loot. :)

To this day I'm the only toon I've seen who has this mount.

Comment by Evolatum

For anyone wondering, you can activate hard mode and then talk to Ta'piks to skip to Stormheim and kill only the last 3 bosses, our group just did it that way. We did kill the first boss before skipping, might need confirming on skipping first boss, but definitely don't need the next 4.

If you notice the 4 flaming orbs that are around the gear glider, and then realize that they are the heads of the cartel people, that's kind of morbid right?

To compare here is the helmet for plate users, which replaces your head with the exact same flaming orb - Harmonium Helm

If you don't like the sound this mount makes when used, you can mute it. Just download an addon such as Mute Sound File and mute Sound IDs 3597299 and 3597301.

This has got to have the coolest mounting animation I have seen

Comment by Emulex

I wanted to let it be known that you can still get this Post-Shadowlands and activate hard mode with the neck, and the entire dungeon is pretty soloable for the most part. I say that because on So'Leah, the second phase gives them 99% damage reduction, and in order to obey the mechanic you need at least one other person there to clear it. The mechanic does not work properly if you are the only player.

Or you could DPS it for an hour and get it that way.
(EDIT: You actually need a FULL 5 man to obey the clearing mechanic.)

Cheers :)

Just completed this on my 392 pvp geared mage, I popped all my cds and damaged her as quickly as possible before the stars came out and she got down to 93% before the damage reduction. I restarted the fight a few times and the best I can figure is I killed her quick enough to start damaging her before the stars came into effect. The final time I got her to 87% before the 99% damage reduction. After that it took me 35 minutes of full rotation to down her.

Comment by TheGlacier

You can now one shot the boss required for this glider (as a Monk)!

As a Brewmaster Monk in 10.2 (450 ilvl) I have 900k life which means during the damage reduction phase it only took me 1.5 minutes to drop the bosses life to below 900k and I used Touch of Death for an insta-kill.

If you had a higher ilvl than 450 or were using Timewalking stamina trinkets you could easily start with more health than the boss and Touch of Death immediately!

No more 20 minute fights as long as you have a Monk of a decent ilvl.

Comment by SylviaDragon

Just some brief clarification since i have seen comments that indicate some people may not be aware of this:
this boss drops two mounts. this one, the Tazavesh Gearglider, only drops off mythic hard mode and requires you do the short quest to get the proper forged credentials. it is a 100% drop. you must do the quest in mythic mode but can avoid having to wait a week for the reset to finish the achiv by grouping up with a friend or alt who has a fresh lockout. Its a pain to kill the final boss in mythic and will take a long time but you only have to do it once to get your mount.

the similarly named and similar looking "Cartel Master's Gearglider" however, is not 100% drop, and can drop from both mythic and heroic. This mount drops off the last boss but can be farmed as many times as you want in heroic- so farming it in mythic where the boss has more health is a waste of time. (also im not sure myself so corret me if im wrong, but conflicting reports about using the "alt trick" to get rid of her shield may come down to heroic vrs mythic. i have not tried it myself but i suspect that in mythic you may need to disrupt all her nodes at once, which would require a full party, but in heroic you can use an offline alt to disrupt them one at a time, saving yourself a good 20 min of combat.)
