Started this Quest Last Night will post when I am finished to give an IDEA of how long this takes. I don't plan to Grind Daily but will try to update Numbers and any tips as I come accross them.

The First Quest on each turn in has been giving me 82 rep/per turn-in. Last night completed 5 turn-ins for 404/3000.
(404/3hrs = 134rep/hr -- 42,000rep/134 = 313hrs -- 313hrs/24hrs = 13days) just a Thought but it took me 17 days to get to lvl60

LVL63 HUMAN WARLOCK, XFGREAPER on STORMSCALE.

Group and I'll grind with you.

He is located at 50,10.

He is on top of the overhanging ice projection at Frostsaber rock. You have to circle around behind it and climb to the top to reach him. You can't see him from below and you can't see him from behind -- he's only visible once you're about halfway up the projection.

If you know where he is, he's easy to find and reach. If you don't, he is not easy to find and reach. The descriptions above that give no information and just say he's easy to find are rather pointless and unhelpful.

Anyway, hopefuly there is enough data here in this post that he will be easy to find for anyone that reads it.

In short, do not ever do this Faction Quest. I just finished the series and was very disappointed in the end. I have worked countless hours everyday to get to exalted, only to find out you have to pay for the mount in the end. If you want a Epic mount stick to increasing your Ranks doing PVP, I bet it would be faster.

Can start questing at Level 59 in Winterspring at Frostaber Rock
First quest is Frostsaber Provisions: Meat Collection quest needing 5 bear meat and 5 chimera meat
Second quest requires you be Friendly is Winterfall Intrusion: Kill quest of 5 shaman & 5 ursa
Third quest requires you be Honored is Rampaging Giants: Kill quest of 4 Elite giants and 4 Elite Preservers
Repeat the above quest till you are Exalted
Exalted Faction allows your to purchase the Epic mount for 800gold. No sorry what others say of it being Free was total horse-dung.
Be warned it took me over 5+months about 5-7 hours a day (yes that many hours)to get to Exalted.
If you too have been taken by this retarded Faction quest please post on the websites forums. If they hear us we might have a chance of actually getting a reward that is worth over 5months of playtime that you don't have to pay 800gold for. "Sheesh...you've been warned"

I completed this line of quests and it roughly took me 2 months. Others in my group took about a month to do it.

It is worth it in the end.

Some information you should know before starting it.

You will have to pay for the mount once you hit exalted (I knew this). It will cost you 900G once you are exalted OR 800G if you are a sergeant rank or higher.
The first quest is the hardest. And I am glad for this because lots of people give up after about 5 quest runs. Makes it more rare for people like me who have the mount.
Never do the Giants quest. Always stick to killing the furbolgs. The run back from frostwhisper gorge will slow you down tremendously.
Get every speed enhancer for your mount. (carrot on a stick, glove enchant, and spurs).
Also know that you will make the 900G while doing the quest, especially if you are a skinner. I was lucky enough to find an epic and probably made over 2000G while doing this quest.
Always be grouped up with people. The server I am on has probably 5 people doing the quest at a time. Don't be afraid to whisper and ask for help because this is not something you can do solo(and I like soloing).

Good Luck!

can someone who has gotten the mount post a picture of how it looks...I'm a hunter and I always try to get a pet to match my mount..Presently I have the white and black stripped mount and King B as a pet.

From one of the epics available in Darnassus there is a Frostsaber (the pinkish looking one that looks white in bright areas) so I have already tamed one of the frostsabers as a pet.

Now if I get this mount (I have began the first set of quests at lvl 58, hopefully this will help me lvl up tp 60 and by then I can have the rare mount)
BUT I would like to know how it looks like so I can start thinking which cat I should get as a pet.

Thanks in advance.

PS. After turning in the meat quest for the first time my faction went up 50/3000. The meat didn't take long at all to get. Just a lil south of the frostsaber rock place on the everlook side of the road there is a ton of bears and chimeras in one place.

Комментарий от Thottbot

mm, would help if you read the info from top to bottom.

Winterspring is not a faction (everlook is) and you gain reputation with Wintersaber trainers

i started 6 days ago ( as soon as i hit lvl 58 and exalted at the same time) and now i am almost friendly with wintersaber trainer.

the quests are long or frustrating, however my goal is getting at to at least 1000g. I used to be 300 in herborist but i abandoned this for skinning... its worth it specially with the war effort.

However i am lucky enough to be on a month old server... and so far there are hardly any high lvl horde members, so i get to group with the alliance hanging around the winterfall village for rich thorium veins or chests.

As i make my way back to Rivern.. I stop to kill a max of 6 beasts for the provisions quest. So every 5 winterfal intrusion turnins, I manage to complete the provisions and get leather.

currently 2475/3000 neutral hope to be the first on the english server Quel'thalas

good luck to all of you

When i respecced to holy i chose to take a 2 week break. Since the 1.10 patch came out yesterday. decided to go back to shadow priest just for this week in order to up my rep a bit more and get money.

I am currently revered with 450/21000 (a total of 21450/42000) and 60% revered with timbermaw hold faction.

off to up rep good luck

Комментарий от Thottbot

Is there a Horde equivalent quest giver for this type of faction based mount?

Комментарий от Thottbot

Drop rate for the meat is just stupid.

1st quest took 35 mins, the bears and chimera also dropped crap bulky loot, it took another 5 min round trip to *go back* and give the meat to him and get quest again...all for a measley 55xp. 40 min quest for 55 out of 42,000 xp? No thx...

I'm sorry but I just dont find that fun or worth it knowing at the end i have to also pay 800g for the mount after spending months doing a insanely irritating series of quests that are designed to make you go slowly mad.

Yes, if you do this grind you will probably be one of only a handful on your server with the mount, but in all honesty it isn't that special a mount - it doesn't even have an aura. If it were 110% or even 105% speed or glowed with a steam aura that mad it look badass then maybe (just maybe) it might justify such an insane faction grind.

At least with Timbermaw faction grinding you have access to patterns, enchants etc - a faction with the potential for better stuff in the future. What could you possibly get from the frost guy in the future after your mount, another one? ... in a different colour for another 800g? Lol!

Well done to those that have this mount and GOOD FREAKING LUCK to those that are starting it. I think i'll wait until blizzard realises how retarded it is and revises it in a future patch before i look at it again.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Up to 5500/12000 and slowly moving forward. Between raiding and real life there isn't much time to do this.

Комментарий от Thottbot

u still get the measly 75 rep when u hand in the meats but u only have to pay 100g now probably only 90 when honoured, and no u dont need epic riding which is excellent imo

Комментарий от Allakhazam

He's hostile to Horde.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Alright, I've heard so many different things about this mount that I still need a solid answer to these questions. Forgive me if you've mentioned it correctly before, I just don't know what to believe.

Do I need the Riding Skill required to ride an Epic for the Wintersaber, or will I still be able to ride it with my Apprentice Tiger Riding Skill?

Does it cost 100g, or 1000?

Is it worth it? Please let me know.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

So I'm a human mage (level 65) and exalted with Darn now.... and I've got my epic mount riding skill. But he won't sell me a cat. Do I need to be friendly with the frostsaber trainers in order to buy one? (I'm neutral now) What am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

If you are not a Nightelf you have to be exalted with Darnassus to learn riding.
Since Patch 1.12.1 there are 2 riding skills to learn. Riding(1) for the normal lvl40 mount and riding(150) for the epic one. If you want to know more about this issue, please refer to the patch notes.

In Winterspring you have to do the "Frostsaber Provisions" quest until you reach a reputation of 1500 neutral. Now the quest "Winterfall Intrusion" should be available. It's quite simple, all you have to do is kill 5 "Winterfall Shamans" and 5 "Winterfall Ursas", which also raises your reputation with the "Timbermaw Hold".

- +5 reputation for each kill until you reach "revered". Make sure not to turn in the "Winterfall Spirit Beads" until then. "High Chief Winterfall" gives +25 reputation every time. -

With a reputation of "honored" you should be able to get the quest "Rampaging Giants", which leads you south, where you have to kill 4 "Frostmaul Giants" and 4 "Frostmaul Preservers".
If you are persistant enough to reach "exalted" with the Wintersaber Trainers, you will finally be able to buy the epic mount.

Some tips:

1. You should do the quests from "Witch Doctor Mau'ari", who can be found in Everlook, before starting the "Wintersaber Trainer" quests. Once you have obtained the "Cache of Mau'ari" from him, just put that item in your inventory, you are able to collect the "E'ko", which can be turned in for some nice items. The "E'ko" and the resulting items you'll get while doing the "Wintersaber Trainer" quests are listed below.

- "Shardtooth E'ko" --> "Juju Ember" (+15 fire resistance for 10 min)
- "Chillwind E'ko" --> "Juju Chill" (+15 frost resistance for 10 min)
- "Winterfall E'ko" --> "Juju Power" (+30 strength for 30 min)
- "Frostmaul E'ko" --> "Juju Might" (+40 attack power for 10 min)

The good thing about these is, you can buff other players as well as yourself, so don't throw them away if u don't need them.
2. It really pays out to be a Herbalist because you can collect tons of "Icecaps" while doing the quests. By the time I reached "friendly", I collected 12 stacks and every single stack sells for 20 Gold in the AH.
3. When doing the "Winterfall Intrusion" quest, don't turn in the "Winterfall Spirit Beads" until you reach "revered" with the "Timbermaw Hold" because until then you get reputation for each kill. Turning all the hundrets of "spirit beads" in at revered, will definetly give you a nice boost in reputation.
4. The Winterfall Furbolgs drop lots "runecloth". Turning in all that runecloth in Darnassus will boost your reputation quite a bit, which gets you closer to learn riding, unless you are a Nightelf.

OK, I think that's all.

P.S.: English is not my native language, so please pardon my grammar and spelling if there should be mistakes. (that's always a good excuse^^)

I just went up there and he isnt there. Is there a quest he runs off on?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

It will cost u 900g anyway. He's not belonging to Alliance, so there is no discount for rank 3+.

P.S. I have it on Draenor.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Of course he's hostile to Horde ! He's the trainer of the special Alliance Wintersaber mount. And here is the explanation:

"Around 4,000 years ago, Tyrande Whisperwind saved the life of the frostsaber queen, at the hands of rampaging giants. Since then, the frostsabers have been allies of the night elves."
by Rivern Frostwind

But there is also a special mount for the Horde. Try the "Ravasaur Trainers" in Un'Goro Crater.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

If you're a smart monkey, as soon as you can do Winterfall Intrusion, pick them both up at the same time. On your way down to Winterfall village hit up Elder Shardtooths and Chillwind Ravagers, then on your way back as well if you didn't get all the meat you need. Then each trip will garner 150 Wintersaber Trainer faction instead of just 75... still a slog and a half though no matter what.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

i hear this costs only 90g...

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Did the quest, been to the turn-in three times. Got ganked while here the first time and STILL no NPC./ Got the Gold dot, no dude

Комментарий от Allakhazam

what quest do i haev to do to get exhalted with these guys? the repeatable one? i wnat that mount

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Just wanted the same confirmation here that Vansmirnoff asked for in his post:

WoW Wiki says if you're any other race besides night elf, you must also be exalted with darnassus to learn tiger riding. Is this true?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

After i read all these posts i think ill give up killing the ravagers and bears for the meet..ive been killing up to 1000/3000 (winter saber trainers)and after what i can understand i need to get to 3000 and then also excalted to darnasus?

im human priest on ravencrest.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Why doesnt he drop anything? :P

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Last time i was here, just before BC, he was hostile. Now I can talk to him, and I get "you are now Neutral with wintersaber trainers." Does this mean Horde can get this mount now?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Can I just walk up to him and purchase the Winterspring Frostsaber? Or do I have to do the quests?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Do you need to become exalted with Darn too to be able to learn tiger riding just so you can ride this one?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I swear to God, the price should be changed. Rich people go for multiply "average" mounts(Easy to aquire the mount riding of a diff race due to starting with Friendly and usually ending up with Honored/Revered by the time you hit 60), others go farm BGs, reach rank 11 and get the pretty 80g war mounts.
In order to get this beauty you need to do SH!TLOADS of boring quests. I think its quite unfair for people to spend loads of time farming the rep from Neutral to Exaled just to pay the same price like for the ordinary mount. Yes, it does look unique, but not worth it unless you have loads of free time, no school/work/family and youre really bored.
Id love to see a more appealing price, 50-100g for example.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

also before u decide to get the mount, getting exhalted with him to get to buy it means about doing 840! quests, not just those four :P

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Does anyone on Dragonblight have this uber sweet mount already or am I going to be the first to get it :P

Комментарий от Allakhazam

For all the time you'd put in to get exalted- you could grind to
Grand MArshal lol.

Very stupid and ridiculous requirements/quests. To just get from
nuetral to friendly- You have to do one quest (the same quest) 60
times and thats as a human with rep bonus. Which requires you to
obtain 5 chillwind meats and 5 shardtooth meats. They don't drop
every kill either- look to kill many many chillwind ravagers and
elder shardtooths. Think the droprate is 12-15% for the meat.

Only highlight I had before I gave up was a Krol blade dropped off
a ravager. If you are a skinner then grinding rep could make you
rich as all the bears-ravagers are skinnable.

But this is only the first part... Once you hit friendly you have
to start killing giants 58-60 elites.

Its way too much to expect from people. If you really want to ride
a tiger just get exalted with Darnassus instead with Runecloth turn ins.
Much easier-faster- same effect..

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Sorry Genoism but it costs 900 gold or 800 if you're at least rank 4
I have almost done it :) revered 18500/21000
Monday or Tuesday will be mine ! so happy , i'm working on it from 2 March all day 4 5 hours for day

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Is there some tips ,how can i do exalted with them ?Easy mode etc. ;) . Or i must farm until i get mad ?:D

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Hes hostile, how do i know? i killed him. lol
anyways... his lvl50 pet is stronger then most lvl60 beasts in the same area :S

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Since the patch, the only thing barring riding 'racial' mounts are racial requirements.

This mount has none. Expect to see lots of horde with this mount soon!

There is on quest giver at the provided coordinates.That is over some open water.
