    AQ mounts, useless! Why?

    Hello,

    I have the AQ mounts but as they are at the moment, they are pretty useless.
    I am trying to understand what the purpose of these mounts was and is now?
    Sure, they count towards the mount-achi but is there also some particular reason why we can't use them outside the raid-instance?

    They were merely used to travel in style inside the temple in classic wow, besides.. one could argue that the only scarab mount that matters isnt useless anyway

    The purpose of those mounts was to ride in AQ 40; You could not use your original ground mounts thus you had to get those bug mounts which had a very high drop rate with the exception of the red one.

    Either you farm the arch one or somehow get the Scarab lord title to get the black one if you truly want to ride it desperately.

    They are a casualty of a later patch that made all ground mounts useable in AQ. Initially, you could ONLY use the Quiraj mounts in AQ, which were often required for getting around inside the place in a timely manner (i believe AQ was out for a while before they added the teleport to boss rooms function to the NPCS after the first boss.)

    They later patched it so any mount could be used in AQ, but never bothered to change the AQ mounts to work outside.

    I want to use them, as I really like those mounts; I have the red one also.

    I was thinking, why not make them mountable now that AQ is not current and the arch.mount is there?
    Before, I understood that there was another one (for that opening AQ event) that was truly unique.. so keeping these from use made sense.
    But now the arch one is there... so the uniqueness is a bit gone.

    ALSO: Scarab lord title to ride the black one?
    Is this still obtainable?

    No
    I know almost everyone does :-)
    I started this thread to find out why they aren't usable now that AQ is not current and arch has a same kind of mount (this makes the black one less unique).
    I am thinking with all the attention mounts got recently, there has to be some reason for it.

    Never seen a black one in game, it's pretty unique because it's not seen as commonly.
    Even with the blue ones running around, seeing the black will turn heads.

    Surely if a new server opens up, you can go and get realm first kill on AQ after a little while.

    New realms start with the gates opened, since Wrath.

    No the Scarab Lord was for completing the AQ gate opening quest chain, which was has since been removed.

    It used to be like that (and many people took advantage of that, almost completing the questline and then transferring to a new realm), but they changed it years ago. Now if a new server opens up, AQ is already open and you can't get the mount. Ofc they haven't opened up a new server in a while ^^

    If you want to ride with a bug mount, you can get the archeology one with Tol'vir. It's identical to AQ mounts, only in different color.
