Only if you can pull the right reputation rises across factions, then you, too, can get your World of Warcraft avatar on a mount of the opposite faction. Although this is only for the really basic mounts, you can actually succeed in getting a Dwarf mount for your Night Elf once you get to the Exalted level of reputation with the Dwarves. Yes, we know Tauren can cross-mount a couple of rides.

It's not exactly algebra, but it's no easy task to accomplish either. Only through the Lunar Festival did goffchick get her Night Elf hunter on the saddle of a White Ram.

Okay, it's no Unicorn or a gallant steed, but you have to admit, it is pretty wicked. The event, which went on from February 16 to March 7 (yes it's done, so you can cry about it later), allowed players to be able to speak with the Lunar Festival elders.

Every time you do succeed, each concluded conversation pumps up your rep around 75 points for each faction and the entire union to which that faction belongs. If you've been at work kissing up to other factions regardless of your current racial affiliations, you could top their "goodie-goodie" list at around level 40 to 50, just about the right time to be strutting your ram around Dwarves before wanting an Epic mount by 60.

Some people have focused on grabbing another non-racial, non-faction mount at around 40 and grabbed an Undead Skeletal Horse by level 46. So are you Exalted by any other faction than your own? Then why not hike up your riding training and grab their mount today? We know you'll like it. (And yes, we were lurking around the ladies' blog...but don't tell anyone that!)
