Can you still get this Mount Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent
Post by

Yes. Why not?
If the mount was unobtainable/removed from the game, on Wowhead page of the item there would be written: "
This item's source is no longer available/removed.
" like here for example:
Malevolent Gladiator's Cloud Serpent
.
In order to get
Reins of the Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent
you need to kill
Alani
<The Stormborn>
, whom is hovering above
Vale of Eternal Blossom
.
If you try to attack him/her, he will be immune to ALL of your attacks thanks to the
Nimbus Shroud
. In order to remove this buff you need to use
Sky Crystal
on him/her which you can create by combining 10x
Skyshard
.
Farming:
Skyshard
Skyshards have a low drop rate of about 1/1000. They can be found in Treasures of the Vale (from Golden Lotus Dalies), Small Bag of Goods (from rare spawns in the Vale) and looted from most mobs found in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. There is also a chance to get shards from archaeology within the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
These shards will have to be farmed. During this farm grind you will get a ton of gold from greens, motes of harmony, and cloth. I also found a nice epic ring, and a few nice blues to sell. Best times to farm are early in the morning and late at night when others are not questing. Some days multiple shards will drop for you, other days you will get none. RNG based. The add on Rarity will help you track your drop rate.
The best mobs to farm are the "Sprites" or "Tricksters" found in the vale. They are of low health and respawn fairly quick. They can be found depending on the dailies from Golden Lotus. Slateskin Troublemakers are best to farm when Mistffall Village is on fire do to the daily "My Town, It's on Fire!" and "Sprite Plight" During these dailies the sprites run through the town kicking over buckets of fire. Once they do they get a DOT debuff "on fire!" which will slowly kill them. You can tag them and just wait for them to die. This is where name plates become very helpfull in targeting them. I picked a spot near the cow (at 33.34/72.68) so I could pull that too. While the cow no longer insta respawns, it still can drop shards, and will repspawn every minute. From here, you can easiy tag all 4 incoming sprites and the cow.
If this daily is not available, you will have to farm the Stonebark Tricksters at Ruins Rise (30.83/20.71). These are found in groups, and are easily AOE'd down. They respawn fairly quick. Go from group to group killing all near by sprites and repeat.
Also decent are the mantids on top on the wall at Gate of the Setting Sun. (7.00/44.62) They will continuously spawn and run into the room, and with the help of the Shado-Pan NPC's killing them, you just have to tag them and finish them off
.
Or you can simply go to the Auction House and buy this mount here. Prices differ on every realm, for example on my realm (EU-Tarren Mill) it goes for ~40,000 gold.
Also, while farming this mount, I suggest you to also farm
The August Celestials
faction, because if you reach
Exalted
with this faction, you can buy
Reins of the Thundering August Cloud Serpent
from
Sage Whiteheart
for 8,000 gold. This mount is very similiar to the one you are looking for.
