We are pretty stoked about the new Onyxia fight, which was why, despite the fact that it came in a somewhat trollish thread, I was pretty happy to see Zarhym drop a few hints about the Onyxia encounter and the drop rate of the new 310% speed Brood of Onyxia mount.
He reveals that they are not going back to the 4-instance heroic and normal setup of the Coliseum, instead just having plain old 10 man and 25 man normal modes. In addition, the mount will have an equal chance to drop from both encounters, so you have a chance at it no matter what your preferred raid size about
WoW Gold.
That said, you probably should not expect to just waltz in and get your whole raid outfitted in matching black drakes. The mount drops one at a time, and the drop rate is pretty low. Think pre-nerf Baron Rivendares Deathcharger mount low about
WoW Gold.
That said; do not get too put out either way. It sounds like Zarhym has not ruled out the possibility of an old-fashioned "hard mode" achievement depending on how you face the fight (I am fully expecting a "Many Whelps Left Side" style achievement myself), and we already know the new Onyxia is permanent about
WoW Gold, meaning you will probably have until next expansion to try to farm your mounts about
WoW Gold.
All three accounts are pretty bare at the moment aside from some catchphrases, but I am going to bet the accounts will be used as another miniature news outlet, much like the front pages of their respective websites. Considering Kat Hunters job in the company, it is probably also safe to say we will be seeing a lot of product and tournament plugs, too. If you are a Twitter fiend, you might want to click that follow button for them (and our account, too). If you do not normally use Twitter, it is too early to say if these accounts are anything you should go out of your way to check out. If there is any major WoW news showing up there, it will find its way here too.
