Every Thursday (except this week, you know, Friday), The Overachiever shows you how to work toward those sweet achievement points. This week, the content is outpacing us somewhat.

The problem with doing extended series like our Mountain O' Mounts overview is that Blizzard's pretty good at rendering them obsolete before long. In that vein, there are a few mounts on today's list that weren't in the game back when we started. Unless I pick up the pace, there might wind up being another slew of them. With 200+ mounts already in the game, the possibility of that genuinely frightens me.

Warning: There are spoilers past the cut concerning some mounts that will become available in patch 4.2 and how you get them.

As always, this is the full series if you're just catching up with us:

• Combining The Ambassador and Mountain O' Mounts
• Mountain O' Mounts in Outland
• Mountain O' Mounts in Northrend
• Mountain O' Mounts in 5-man dungeons
• Mountain O' Mounts in raids
• Mountain O' Mounts from achievements
• Mountain O' Mounts from PVP
• Mountain O' Mounts from professions
• Mountain O' Mounts from holidays

If you lamented the loss of the Zul'Gurub mounts when ZG went away or always regretted missing out on an Amani War Bear, then rejoice! Apparently, patch 4.1 has all sorts of surprises for you, according to those fine feathered friends at MMO-Champion. Not only are both Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman returning as 5-man instances, but the various mounts that both instances were famous for are coming back with new skins.

In addition to this news, there are several pets and mounts that are currently known primarily through datamining:

• Landro's Lichling (most likely from the TCG)
• Nightsaber Cub
• Wintersaber Cub
• Panther Cub

New mounts include the following:

• Armored Razzashi Raptor
• Beryl Fire Hawk
• Crimson Fire Hawk
• Flameward Hippogryph
• Savage Raptor
• Swift Zulian Panther.

That's a substantial amount of new non-combat pets and mounts. If, like me, you love someone who is a rabid pet and mount collector (or you happen to be one of those yourself), the new Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman will be places you can expect to see a lot of once 4.1 drops.
