Depleted-Kyparium Rocket

So...

Not BoP? Not Engineering-specific?

I'm liking this so far.

"Requires Level 20" is definitely a plus.

The level 20 part probably refers to all mounts going BOA so that you can make this on your main and be a bad ass on your leveling monk alt.

Can ride at 20, there are a few thousand problems. As in Gold. One quote for a ride is 76k, and that was material cost. If you're a farmer you can afford it. For the rest of us weekend warriors, it will take awhile to gather the mats and/or gold to build one, let alone even purchase.

it would be nice if it was a two seater for all the expense and time.

Ya about the same mat cost as https://www.wowhead.com/item=65891/vial-of-the-sands

This is the Goblin counter to the Gnomish [item=87251]. Neither item currently requires Engineering or is BoP, but the recipe is restricted by specialization.

Cool , 2 more nice rockets . [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHGlp0S4zJY]Video link[/url] .

How does it work if its depleted?

Maybe the kyparium is what it's made of, rather than what powers it. Think about it - if you were a goblin, and you had this big hunk of metal you were using for a power source and it ran out of juice, would you throw it away, or would you chuck it on the anvil and hammer it into something you can sell?

More than likely the "power supply" is the large amount of explosives, hanging out of the back. Which could also double up as an offensive arsenal, if your flying around and you get a bogey on your tail.

The "depleted" in Depleted-Kyparium does not mean that it is used up. Like with uranium and depleted uranium, the depleted uranium is just really a byproduct of the enrichment process of the original uranium. Meaning that it is stripped, but still uranium.

A two person mount perhaps? Looks like this could be a cash cow for engineers since its no requirements to use.

Looks like it's only a single person mount, but can be used by lowbies, which is currently unique among profession mounts. Jeweled Panthers are also usable by lowbies, but require level 40.

Instead of Gnomish vs Goblin engineering, has anyone considered this might be Horde vs Alliance? Like the bikes, remember? ;)

the bikes have things that go with them that point to horde vs alliance. these don't. so... no.

Probably a reference to Depleted Uranium Bullets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depleted_uranium

Most likely its the mount in these pictures: http://media.mmo-champion.com/images/news/2012/june/rocketmount3_1.jpg http://media.mmo-champion.com/images/news/2012/june/rocketmount3_2.jpg http://media.mmo-champion.com/images/news/2012/june/rocketmount3_3.jpg

Anyone else notice the model has a gun mounted on it?

That's the best part!

today i logged into the beta and all of a sudden i had both [item=87251] and [item=87250] learned in my mounts. i have engineering on my pally, but idk if its showing up for all players or only players that have at least 1 toon with engineering.

My main on beta has maxed engineering (for cata) & is level 85... However I did not get one. Its kind of sad...

Look like this mount has some nice features, like shooting button and radio button http://i.imgur.com/6IUzj.jpg idk if this will be changed on live however like this is looks amazing

Please show us a picture of the whole mount along with that action bar or I will think u just got this from some vehicle quest.

it was like this on the ptr, read the other comments. it had radio stations, etc.

Unlike every other mount, you can mount this while riding another flying mount! ^-^

Strangely, if you log out while mounted up on this machine and log back in, you have a new spell bar (as if in a vehicle.) As of the PTR patch 5.0.1

The two spells available to you are: [Rocket Radio], instant cast, and a description of [PH] Rocket Radio Test. Plays some casual music, reminds me of music you would hear in a mall or something :P

The second one is [Shoot], 10-20 yard range .0447 sec cast 2.5 sec cooldown Test fires a spread of harmless pellets. What this one does is makes a little white jumble of pellets on the ground in front of the mount.

These things also happen with the opposite version of its mount. I don't know if its a glitch for now, or if it will be introduced, but it would be pretty interesting to be able to do things while mounted :D

EDIT* I don't believe this works in the live game anymore, feel free to reply to me if I'm wrong. :P

I was hoping the other rocket has the same thing, but sadly it doesn't. :(

Can anybody confirm this feature is still in game? I made one today and logged out but I had no luck :-/

aww nicee! wish i was in mop beta lol i was gonna go for the beta key giveaway but i missed out on the chance! dangit oh well guess i'll have to wait till this comes live and does anyone know if it will be bop ?

Originally this rocket had a red texture, they since then changed it to teal color.

I preferred red.

Why? Because it's red!

I found this post quite helpful: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/7415512703 -essentially the /mountspecial (music that would play from the mount's radio) was removed from Beta as well as the texture change. It is disappointing that Blizzard made these changes as it takes away from the value (both as an owner and seller) of the mount.

Red wunz go fasta!

Crafted this two days ago, and noone else has it on my realm. Will truely make you feel like a special little snowflake lol :) Worth it all the way!

WTF, how do you get 12 Spirit of Harmonys in two days?

@asherkobin: I had 15 from leveling to 90, doing only quests.

For a single, beautiful moment, I saw a Bullet Bill in that screenshot.

however, I bet you will never see a gnome riding one.. they tend to spend all their gold on fortune cookies.

The mount makes additional sound effect if you hit your strafe button while flying.

I haven't seen the mount enough to know if that is true, but it wouldn't surprise me since the Flying Machines do that too.

Seeing how this thing can't carry a second passenger (unlike the Chopper and Sandstone Drake predecessors), it is small and ugly and thus absolutely doesn't sell on my high pop server. Mats are just insane, 12 spirit of harmony is nothing you can just conjure up whenever you want.

Actually the only thing i can make a profit with, are the engineering cogwheels. They sell like gems 24/7.

Edit: You can downrate this as much as you want, it won't change the fact that this mount is unsellable.

This actually reminded me of the design of both [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Man]Fat Man[/url] and [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Boy]Little Boy[/url], the atomic bombs. >.< The similarity is scary, but then I thought about having my shadow priest dismount from this thing and [url=http://www.wowhead.com/spell=120696#screenshots:id=322816]cast Halo[/url]. The impression ensues.

Just built mine today after extreme expenses and hours of farming Motes of Harmony (when you're looking for them they're more like Motes of Agony). I can confirm that as of October 17, 2012 the radio and shoot features from the test realms are NOT in the live version. Very disappointing.

Why the hell did blizzard changed the depleted rocket badass look with the red head from beta, to this new one look? I believe they changed it because it was [b]too awesome[/b] and everyone would go for it.

If anyone wants to know how much it cost to make one of these roughly:

[b]3 Orb of Mastery = 18k each x3 = 54k with guild perk [/b] [b]12 Living Steel = roughly 9600 - 12k, depends how much to buy on your ah, or to make if u can craft them[/b]

[b]36 Ghost Iron Bars, to make the gunpowder and bolts - about 400-500 gold[/b]

[b]200 Kyparite Ore = 700 - 800 [/b]

[b]12 Spirit of Harmony - If you are not an engineer that can make this mount, you will have to pay about 1k each for these = 12k [/b]

[u]Total = About 79k - 80k to make depending on prices on your ah. Obviously would be cheaper to farm mats.[/u]

Also figure in a tip for the crafter, i tipped mine 5k. Which is probably too much since I payed 12k already for the 12 spirits. So I'd advise not going crazy on tip.

Raw reagents to craft (including cooldown created materials): [ul] [li]200x [item=72093][/li] [li]144x [item=72094][/li] [li]144x [item=72103][/li] [li]120x [item=89112][/li] [li]72x [item=72092][/li] [li]3x [item=83092][/li] [/ul]

It is much easier to find an Alchemist to transmute Ghost Iron bars into Trillium. (The transmute has no cooldown)

Each [item=83092] is 20,000 gold... and that may be a problem for some players, specially the ones who can only play on weekends and don't have the time to farm the other mats. Not cheap but classy!
