Eighteen alts (all with level 3 shipyards, ugh) and I've had six Gronn mounts all up. Also got all 3 heirloom rings, seven satchels, several left sharks and about a dozen cinder pups. Only six pvp medallions though.

Sounds like the RNG is actually working exactly as how RNG is supposed to work. Wow has a large player base, each who is doing missions on one or more characters providing for a huge amount of missions being done. According to the law or large numbers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers) every single outcome, how unlikely it may sound, is bound to happen.
The problem is that people only voice the outliers. You don't hear the stories of players obtaining only one in a timeframe where the expectation is that said person would receive only one. You only hear the stories where either an excessive amount of mount missions is offered, or where given the huge amount of alts being used still no mount mission is offered. Both options are bound to happen. When these occurences do not happen at all, then there is something incredibly wrong with a RNG.
For 3 months had no breaker two mission over 10 toons. Last week, 3 missions popped.
Was very lucky the first 3 weeks. Made over 200k seeling them on AH. First week, they went for over 100k on my realm.

I finally got the Gronn mission last week, after 6.2.2 rolled out. On two characters. After not seeing it for basically three months on any of 5 qualified toons.
I still haven't seen a single rare shipyard mission on my main. I am 3/4 of the way done with the 500 shipyard mission achievement, all of the other achievements are complete except the "complete 3 of 6 rare missions" one. I simply do not get any of the six rare missions listed on that rare shipyard mission achievement, ever. I'm pretty sure there's a bug in there somewhere, but they'll never look at it or fix it. Reminds me of that time I spent 6 months killing Sha of Anger on 6 characters per week, only to find later that the mount was bugged and had no chance to drop. Thank you for wasting my time.
As it stands, I guess I will end up continuing to go back and run shipyard missions each day well into Legion, in the hopes that someday I'll get 3 of the rare ones. And hopefully someday the heirloom rings.

Some of the high pop US servers have dozens of coalfists on the AH. They sell for about 6k on my server right now.
Got the cinder pup in the first week and assumed the gronn would follow shortly after. I've never seen it.
Just bought one for 6.8k, had no idea they existed, thank you.
I'd just farm stuff to earn however much gold you need on your server instead of trying to get one from a rare mission tbh.
only got one character the mission COULD pop on, but havent had it yet. bought it off ah for 7k while it was cheap, average on my server is 12-15k
I have 13 level 3 garrisons and I get at least one per week, same with the pup
Well, I finally got the procc, on three different characters.
One thing I noticed about these missions is I only get 1 per character per week. And I only get them on chars with a 675+ Ilevel. Once 6.2 hit my main was getting them each week. Once I let one of my Garrison mules venture out in the world and got him to 677 only a few hours later did he get one of the rare 6.2 missions. Same thing happened to my other alts.
So is this how they work? Do we only get one per week or is it possible to get more than one of these mission a week per character?
You get one rare mission per week on each character that has:
* 675 ilevel (in bags)
* 3x675 followers
* 10x650 followers
There might also be a requirement for some number of followers, period, but if so it's less than 20. But if you get the easiest to get followers you'll have 16-18 anyway by the time you get to 100.
On my characters it appears to be 7 days from the initial pop. So for example, I originally got my paladin alt to 675 on a Thursday. She got her rare mission pop that day, and has continued to get her rare missions on Thursday each week ever since. Even if I don't run/complete them that day, as long as I finish it before the next Thursday, another will pop on Thursday.
Yeah, so I'm not the only one. I'm definitely over 40 of these missions and going strong. Should have a 7th eligible garrison this wek
As for the 8-10k buy price - I'm aware. I have plenty of gold, but this is a 'free' mount and there aren't to many of those left to me. I still wonder what the pop % is for this mission when a 675 rare mission procs.
Finally popped today. Right around 50th 675 rare mission on 7 toons.
At least everything but the toy/pet still can be sold......
The pet and toy still sell if you go low enough. Put a pet up for 1 copper, announced in chat and it sold in 5 seconds.
