Greetings everyone,

Before to decide if you want or do not want to purchase the Great Elk, sold in limited edition during the New Life Festival for 4500 crowns, have a look at this video showcasing the mount in action.
MANY Thanks to @FooWasHere for the mount! *bow*

    I'd want to stab my mount in the face if all it did was make that noise.

    The elk's roar sound is fitting. Compared it to actual elk roars, it sounds about right.

    fwiw, it's called 'bugling' and i agree, it's quite close.

    ... but ...

    In the three scant minutes of the video preview:

    ... one ruby ash node, one ancestor silk node, one white cap node, two butterflies, two overland crates, and one barrel set were all not looted ...

    ... one quest was not accepted ...

    ... one suspension bridge was not defended ...

    4500 crowns is too much for a Great Elk mount, but not for a Giant Skeever mount.

    It looked okay until I saw it was sleepy and needed a rest. At 4500? No thanks. Trying to lure the LOTR fans with overpriced mounts is daylight robbery.

    Thanks for the video!

    The price is clearly excessive based on what we are used to but most likely signals a new pricing model for direct purchase crown store mounts. I'm not happy about that, but it is what it is.

    The elk is probably targeted more toward people like me who have a healthy income and a pile of crowns they are already sitting on with nothing to buy, not toward the people who can't afford to eat in real life if they buy more crowns just for this. But timing it around the holidays, without a gifting option, is pretty insensitive on the part of ZOS.
    Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!
