Warlords of Draenor - Creeping Carpet and Dustmane Direwolf
Today we are taking a look at two of the mounts you can craft in Warlords of Draenor, the Creeping Carpet and Dustmane Direwolf.

The Creeping Carpet can be crafted by tailors. It requires 100 x Hexweave Cloth, which is a daily cooldown that makes 10 per day at max Tailoring skill. The Tailoring Emporium can help to produce additional cloth. It also requires 20 x Sorcerous Air.

The Riding Harness works in a similar way, requiring 100 x Burnished Leather and 20 x Sorcerous Air.

Behind the Scenes of Lords of War
Blizzard released some nice background information about the Lords of War series.

As we completed our Lords of War video series, Blizzard creative developers sat down to discuss the project and document the process of bringing the epic stories of Draenor’s most savage warlords to light. We hope you enjoy these behind-the-scenes extras:

7 Day Game Time Promotion Emails
From time to time we run different promotional offers for a subset of players, but they’re generally not something offered to everyone. Which is why this may work on the accounts that were offered the promotion, and not others. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Raid Progress on The Armory
As you already noticed, the Raid Progress feature has been removed from the Armory for now. This is not a bug, it was intended as we decided to rework the feature, so don’t worry, it’s just a matter of time before it will return (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Nerdlords of Draenor - Grimrail Depot

Nerdlords of Draenor finds Cox and Crendor jumping onto the beta realms and exploring various aspects of the new expansion with a different guest each episode. The duo will also be releasing animated shorts capturing some of the best moments from their escapades—with a few artistic liberties taken.

great mounts.... still crossing fingers for multipass zeppelin one day

[Bauwagast]

That Jesse derper and Crenerd!

[rcshaggy]

Crenerd, Hobberd and Coxderp. The Three Derplords. :P

[Deleted]

Wow, that "Nerdlords" video was crap.

[Shinagami091]

Did I miss something or is that Creeping Carpet mount just a Flying Carpet recolor? I was expecting it to gallop or something.

[Highlord Hanibuhl]

Cox and Crendor getting more love... I don't want to live on this planet anymore...

[Deleted]

Disappointed with the Creeping Carpet; a new model would be nice.

But wow, a leatherworking mount!

[Strathaczar]

Uhhhh... am I the only one that watched that animated video and didn't even crack a smile? Was that supposed to be funny? I certainly couldn't tell, that's for sure.

[Shudder]

As someone who went OCD and liked to play it like a minigame of sorts to try and get all the bars on the bottom of my armory green I was pissed when it was removed. Glad to see it will be coming back.

Someone getting 'more love' as you put it doesn't really affect you in a negative way so try to be a nicer person, will take you a long way in life.

Same for me, was expecting something new or .. well something that was creeping.

[Tenjen]

that creeping carpet has an awesome design. Don't see how a flat carpet can have a "new model" except for a different skin but yeah i agree it doesn't exactly scream "creeping" much though.

Maybe if the corner balls were skeletal corpse hands or skulls it would.

[Arrashi]

The animated short was so unfunny it actually was funny. I guess its wiseau effect.

[CheeseSandwich]

The effort they put into that behind the scenes look of the Lords of War could of been put into something to explain how Garry escaped jail, or something.

Could have*

Is an entire novel not enough to explain this like?

[CheeseSandwich]

No doubt, but I don't pay a sub to read books to explain what's going on in the game I'm playing.

[Valysar]

I'm the only one who finds the running animation of the Dustmane Direwolf buggy ?

[CheeseSandwich]

Yeah, kinda like it is on fast forward. The older wolves have a longer, slower gait.

[Magemaer]

No doubt, but I don't pay a sub to read books to explain what's going on in the game I'm playing.

Plus the book is shitty. And it's well know that crap literature shortens our lifespan.

[Terahertz]

Hmm, Metzen mentioned how the Lords of War videos made us want to bring the orcs to justice, but in a way I kinda feel sorry for them as well :S
