PVP MOUNTS
The PvP mounts are easy to get, and you'll get them after a short period of time of doing Battlegrounds continuously. As a 70 twink even if your XP is locked, Battlegrounds queues usually don't last longer than 5 minutes. Try to join queue for a Random Battleground after you've finished your last Battleground, so you will probably meet with the same group, and the queue might me as little as half a minute.

By doing the quest World of Shadows you'll receive an Elixir of Shadows. The quest gives you 250 rep, and the elixir lets you see the shadowy spirits of Skettis ( additional mobs in Skettis ) which will help you trough your way to Exalted.

Seems like a well written guide(if done by hand ) anyhow you've forgot a one/perhaps a few more. The ones dropping from instances/raids that i can think of: First boss in karazhan drops one, Third boss in Utgarde keep drops one if i'm not mistaken(even on normal).
Still a wellwritten guide, +5 from me

Skadi the Ruthless from Utgard Pinnacle actually drops one, and you can't do that dungeon as a 70 twink, you are right about the Karazhan one though.

I KNEW I forgot something! Thanks a lot, will add it, and will start working on Horde side asap .

very well written guide indeed, but w8ing for horde version

Two more Alliance mounts:
Swift Mountain Horse - Item - World of Warcraft

Horde Mounts:
Orgrimmar- 7 mounts
Sold by: Ogunaro Wolfrunner - NPC - World of Warcraft
Undercity- 7 mounts
Sold by: Zachariah Post - NPC - World of Warcraft
Thunder Bluff- 6 mounts
Sold by: Harb Clawhoof - NPC - World of Warcraft

Silvermoon City- 7 mounts
Sold by: Winaestra - NPC - World of Warcraft
Bilgewater Cartel- 2 Mounts
Sold by: Kall Worthaton - NPC - World of Warcraft

For HI5, that should be all you need for horde; I can look up the tabards for these factions if someone wants, but three of them are sitting in org by zeppelins, the other two are pretty easy to find too, in Silvermoon and Thunder Bluff.

Don't forget, if you're a Warlock or Paladin you can get two extra mounts not listed here! (Not going to link them, they're trained from your trainer and obvious, not to mention there'd be eight links for paladin mounts, just depends on your race)

EDIT: I'm NOT positive if the Gilneas / Bilgewater mounts require Cataclysm or not, or if you excluded them because they weren't available at 70, but they're still worth linking; a 70 twink with Cataclysm may as well get them; most use WotLK enchants, gems and such, why not mounts too :P

[Zomtorg]

I have just updated the guide, so there is the horde side as well. I included factions like Netherwing in both topics - for the Horde and for the Alliance because it would be easier for people. Thanks Relican for the help .

Not a problem! Good guide, by the way. For people trying to stay true to the level 70 experience this is very helpful. +rep

[melkbus]

Reins of the Phosphorescent Stone Drake can also be gotten if you get a 85 to kill him and let you win the drake
