I am very close to having the gold to get a epic flying mount. With the new expansion coming out soon, should I get the epic mount or save for the new expansion. I have not been able to confirm Epic flying mounts will be usable in the new content.
BTW this forum ROXX I have learned so much about Rogue crafy from this comunity.

Get an Epic Flyer, they can be used.
And no, the price is not dropping.

Did they get rid of the level 78 quest requirement to use flying mounts in Northerend?
No. Thats when they can be used.
EDIT: And I'm not sure that its Level 78, it might be a bit lower.

The thing is, an epic MOUNT isn't all too expensive. It's the riding skill that costs a lot of bling. And one way or another, you'll have to get that eventually. So I'd say, go for it.

It's level 77. Good God, this info has been out for months, people.
The thing is, Blizz just might reduce the cost of the epic flight training, if they feel it's too far out of reach for new players who haven't had months stuck at lvl 70, steadily gaining gold. That might not be an issue if there's another big jump in the cash rewards for quests, but I don't know if that's the case or not.
I think it's pretty safe to say they won't ever put the price up, so it really depends how much flying you'll be doing in Outland prior to unlocking Cold Weather Flying at lvl 77 (I think). If the answer is "not very much", I'd be inclined to wait and see. If the price is still the same when you hit 77, you haven't really lost anything, but you might save yourself some cash if they do drop it. That would also mean that you have money available if something comes up that you really want to spend cash on when you start playing the expansion.

I doubt money at 80 will be a problem. They aren't going to shut the isle down as far as I have heard, so you will be kicking all those blood elves in the teeth even faster at level 80.
If you have half a brain you can level 1-80, save your money and make plenty along the way if you can keep your hand off the AH buyout button every 4 levels.
I think that is the biggest problem new players have is buying new stuff all the time. Quest rewards and instance drops are more than enough to level on...do you really need that epic item at 43?

Northrend is literally HUGE. It's bigger than half of Kalimdor.
Not having an epic flying mount is probably the stupidest thing you can do.
Get the mount whenever you have the gold ... you WILL need it, and the price will NOT drop.
As for the argument of fresh level 70's not having had the same opportunity to stockpile gold ... that's an argument (for the price to be reduced) I myself used for a long time. That was until I realised that a fresh level 70 still has another 7 levels to go before he needs the gold ... plenty time to get 5k.
So the 5k stays, live with it, save up and buy the thing before level 77.

They stated they wouldn't ever allow PvE to PvP transfers, so go figure. Turns out they sometimes change their mind.
I'm not suggesting the OP doesn't buy the epic flying mount once he can use it in Northrend (see the easy-to-read bolded text above), but unless he's going to be flying a lot in Outland, that epic flyer's not going to do him any good until 77. Since he'd clearly be spending all of his available cash on it, you're suggesting that he should lock up 5000g in a mount that he can't use until 77, when that gold could potentially be put to better use elsewhere.
If money's so easy to come by in Northrend, either spend your current gold on something you can actually use, or save it. You won't be getting around Northrend any faster, just because your gold pouch is 5000g lighter.

I'm just speaking from past experience. Once I get the gold for something I want, I put it on a bank alt so I don't spend it on something ******.
My 1st 70 character with no support got Epic flying after a week of hitting lvl 70 when there was only 10 dailies. No I didn't farm day and night. Just did dailies, mined along the way and sold whatever I got on AH. So please don't start with random stuff about how hard it is to accumulate gold. I came back at lvl 51 after a long hiatus, with like 30g 60% ground mount. When I hit 70 I had around 3k simply from questing and lvling. Secret is having a mule in SW or IF and send everything to that mule and sell and sell some more. It all adds up.
As to not buying a mount right now, I don't see a single valid argument for not buying it. Lich is still 1 month and a half away, during that time you can earn your 5k back and more with an epic. Unless you like looking at gold pixels on your backback.

Between now and then where's he going to put the money? Sitting in his bank until WOTLK hits? If you have the money there's no reason not to buy the epic. You'll want to get one eventually. If you spend the money now on gear you'll be wishing you didn't as you get better drops from WOTLK. You'll be in Outland for at least another month. Buy it now and you'll have plenty of time to save up another 5k.
The biggest problem people have with not getting their epics is they can't save gold. They keep spending it on stupid stuff or things that get replaced too quickly. Epics will always be there. Gear won't. Don't be stupid and buy your epic while you have the gold. It's not going to collect interest. Epics do have a return.
5 level 70's. 4 epic flyers with a 5th one soon to be. I wouldn't get them if they weren't worth it.
This is a moot point really. Elustriel has a good point. I was not in Kara quality gear and it took me roughly a week spending 2h a day farming and mining stuff along the way to get the money. Again the trick as a lot of people say is putting it out of sight out of mind. It is easy to see 3k and then see some set of things on the AH and go '2k is so far away I will just get this or that'. If you want it, then buckle down and get it. Not that hard to accomplish. Just takes some work but I like my little dragon.
It's been stated that gold in the Xpac will come easier with mobs dropping ~1G a pop (from beta reports) and with the Xpac being a bit away I would go ahead and get the epic mount. You can't use it right away when you get in, but it'll be there when you can. Plus life will be faster now. And as mentioned above they have said the skill cost will NOT drop at all, so there is no incentive to hold on to it.
