During the game process most players reach the point when the main content is done and it’s high time to start getting different achievements. And, perhaps, one of the most interesting and hard to get achievements is collecting. Today we will have a look at how to get 200 mounts and an achievement http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=8304/mount-parade (Alliance) or http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=8302/mount-parade (Horde). This guide will help you to get mounts on any World of Warcraft server. The same goes for our uwow.biz project. And of course we will start our mount research from Alliance.
