This takes tons of time geting your rep up and most people who are intrested in getting a slighly differnt mount will never complete the quests enough times to even get friendly with them. Seeing as who the first quest you can get from them requires 5 of two differnt types of meat from the local bears and Chillwind creatures and the drop rate for these is about 30% id say. you have to that quest about 30 times before you can even get the second quest, but once you do that the second is probably the easiest to do so stick with that one

I have read conflicting information on other sites
http://www.wowwiki.com/Mounts#Rare_Epic_Mounts regarding the riding skill required to ride this mount. Is it 75/75 or 150/150? Since the mount cost and riding skill cost changed in 1.12 I have no idea what I need to have. Did it used to be journeyman and now it's apprentice or has it been apprentice all along? If anyone having recently (since 1.12) completed the Wintersaber Trainers quest would please provide an accurate account of the riding skill required, I would be most appreciative.
As of the 2.0 patch, the rep gained for turn in was increased to +75 per turn in. Use to be +50. It will be more for the humans.

Winterspring Frostsaber Requirements: Level 60, Riding (75), Wintersaber Trainers - Exalted Available to: Alliance Cost: 90g This mount is unavailable to Horde. Re: Wintersaber Trainers by badboyburje, Score -5.0
Two weeks of Grinding Rep and I finally made it to exalted. At level 70, To save some precious time, Do only the quests Winterfall Intrusions and Rampaging Giants once they are made available because the quest Frostsaber provisions will only delay you with very low drop rates. At this level you can easily cut down these mobs for both the kill quests. It is confirmed that you don't need to be exalted with Darnassus to get this mount. As you can see im a human warrior with only revered reputation with Darnassus. Good luck with your Grinding. The mount is definitely worth all your troubles :)
Got Mount longest grind i ever did took me 7 months pre the rep rise and as i gnome back then i need exalted with Darn : /
soo...this is a epic or regular mount?
FACTS:
#1 Alliance only #2 Epic Mount #3 Requires only Riding 75 #4 Is one of the toughest grinds in game #5 costs 90G #6 Has no armor #7 Requires no rep with Darnassus (only Wintersaber Trainers)
It's a real shame that hunters pets are automatically dismissed when mounting now. My original plan was to get a cat pet that matched the mount but it's sort of pointless if they can't be seen together :(

Some points:
You get your first repeatable quest (Frostsaber Provisions) quest as early as lvl 58 ... not 60 as someone indicated above. You get the second repeatable quest (Winterfall Intrusion) when you reach 3000 rep points (1/2 way through Neutral) You get the third (and last) repeatable quest (Rampaging Giants) when you reach Honored status with the Trainers. Getting your "Reins of the Winterspring Frostsaber" will continue to be one of the most unique and rarely-finished objectives in the game - even though they've increased the faction reward for turn in on the quests. You do not get faction per kill - like in other faction quests. You get faction by completing those repeatable missions. The chillwind and shardtooth meat still drops randomly from each beast and the Winterfall Furbolg camp can be heavily camped at times. You will STILL need to WANT this mount bad enough and put in a load of time to reach Exalted with the Trainers. I set my mind on it, forsaked playing in the expansion for it and am quite happy now that I have mine! I started at 58 ... finished at 65. It would have taken MUCH MUCH longer of a grind going through Revered to Exalted if they hadn't upped the rep rewards in patch 2.3. Still ... many people will not do this - and this is why it will remain relatively rare to see the mount in-game.

I really don't see obtaining this mount in one day as others have claimed. Given my record time with an epic mount as a level 70 kitty druid from start to finish for the winterfall guys is 8 minutes, it just doesn't pan out. Eight minutes is lucky if nobody else is killing the mobs, and shamans spawn in the lower part. More than likely though, someone else is going to be there killing them, and you will have to wait for respawns. OK now think about my best run of 8 minutes, most of that is running time, with only a few to kill the furbolgs. Now considering at BEST 8 minutes per quest, you still have to turn in the quest 174 times to get to exalted. That equals out to 23.2 hours. That is assuming best case, and doesn't factor in the 6 times you have to turn in the provisions quest, which some I could get lucky and do in 10 minutes, other times 45 minutes depending on the drop rate. And yes, other people can be competing for bears and chimeras as well, so that can throw another wrench in the speedy one day mount theory.
Yes I know humans have increased rep gains, but I still highly doubt that anyone could do this in one single day, unless their server is almost empty, and they have absolutely no life or responsibility. One thing to note is that at least the drop rate for the meats can still be really horrid, which should still filter out the wussies. Myself, I am part way into honored after two days, amidst mining thorium/mithril/truesilver, BS'ing with friends, running to get food IRL, going to the movies, sleeping, sending goodies to alts, helping clueless friends with quests, disenchanting junk green items I picked up, getting Kara keyed, that sort of thing. So in my two days off, I managed to do my normal guild things, real life things, and gained over 9000 rep. Pretty sweet compared to before.
Re: Wintersaber Trainers by calieb, Score 0.00
Just restarted doing this quest after figuring out how long it would actually take me to finish it. The worst part by far is the first 1500 rep. The drop rate on that meat is horrible. After that though it's really not that bad. The Winterfall Intrusion quest is a piece of cake. I haven't got the Rampaging Giants quest yet but it seems out of the way so i'll probably just stick with Winterfall Intrusion. I've found that the slowest it takes me to get back and forth is 15 minutes (and that includes killing the mobs).
15minutes * 250rep per turn in = 1,000rep/hour So, once you get to Friendly rep, 6,000 / 1,000 = 6 hours Then Honored, 12,000 / 1,000 = 12 hours And finally, 21,000 / 1,000 = 21 hours 6 + 12 + 21 = 39 hours That's not too bad for this very rare, one of kind mount. Especially considering the fact that it only requires 75 Riding skill and only costs 100g/90g (if you're Honored with Darnassus i believe). Plus, when you're all done grinding these quests out you might have enough gold for your flying mount. :-) P.S. I'll add a picture on here when i finish.

I finished this quest... I will never do this quest on any other toon by any means. Is it kinda cool to have a mount that few have? Yes... Was it worth it? Not really.
So, i just got done with the whole quest line about ten minutes ago..and yeah, NEVER again! omg, it took me five days of doing nothing but the quests over and over and over. maybe from killing everything i made like 200g if that. but don't get discouraged and think it'll take forever to get it done; just gonna seem that way :-p Good luck to anyone that tries, and the way I went about it was doing all three quests. I read that most people just stick to Winterfall Intrusion/Rampaging Giants once they're available, but in my opinion, you might as well just keep Frostsaber Provisions because you're gonna run across plenty of the Chimaera and Bears you'd need to kill anyways. And yeah, the 250 rep for each turn in on that does add up =)

Tip!
We started out at level 62, the two of us. We made twins in game and figured we wanted matching mounts as well.. and this was our goal. We could never be happier with our griding. We plan on getting this mount again for our second set of twins as well. Please note that this is a mount that has 100% speed increase, however you only need 75 riding for it! So if you don't have the gold for the upgrade in riding, you don't have to worry until later (but beware.. it will bite you in the butt later as you will have to spend -more- because to get the 225 riding, you need the 150 first >.<!). We personally both had epic mounts as to make the commute between the quest giver and the quest area faster, thus less time spent on grinding. there is also a giant quest that comes at some point ( Rampaging Giants ), but the quest is so far south we only did it when all of the mobs were either being killed by others for the quests from Everlook and whatnot or when we needed a break from the furbolgs. They took longer to kill, were spread out more and are also elite. Finally, I would also like to note that this amount is not relevant for the human race in the game. Their reputation gain is increased so the mount you need to do each quest will be even less! *sigh*

Look. This is really simple. It's just time consuming. Now, I am a lvl 60 draenei hunter. It took me 2 hours to get from no rep to friendly by doing these Wintersaber quests. I would assume double that for the next, and double that for the next, etc. Looking at a total time of about 30 hours non-stop. So at 6 hours per session, we're talking about 5 days of playing. It's not that bad. Just think, if you weren't doing this, you'd be hanging out near an AH wasting time for a total of about the same.... unless you're a pvp rat. Regardless, I would expect this mount to be the best ground mount in the game. And something to clearly brag about. =)
Lucifer lvl 60 Draenei Hunter Magtheridon Realm
only for alliance, can start at lvl 58, only requires 75 riding skill, and is 100% speed
frostsabers provisions is the only on you get at the begining untill you get 1500 rep (gives 250 each turn) when you get 1500/3000 rep winterfall intrusion gets unlocked(also gives 250 rep) when hit honored Rampaging giants get unlocked (for me the easier,350 rep always free of people unlike furbolgs one) DONT NEED DARNASSUS REP, only wintersaber trainers to exalted (did need rep before the patch 1.3 or something but not anymore) having a epic mount makes it faster after making to honored each trip (making all the quests) is 850 rep and can be around 30-60 min (depend on luck of drop with meat and how many people are camping the furbolgs)and about 39 trips for me before honored was the slower part
As of 3.02 here is the math for getting exalted.
Provisions quest: 250 * 6 = 1500 (Unlocks winterfall intrustions) From now on take both provisions and winterfall instusions Complete both on the way to turn them in to get to friendly from this point: 6 to get to honored from here: 24 to get to revered: 48 to get to exalted: 84 Overal: 6 indivdual provisons 162 doing both at once 81 runs from quest giver to intustions and back Enjoy your runs. Thankfuly it's not as bad as before. Re: Wintersaber Trainers by SlyAnimal, Score 0.00
Quite happy to say I only started grinding rep for this mount yesterday morning at about 9am and I am already half way through revered.
Call me a no lifer if you want but whenever I choose to obtain something in-game i just have to crack on and focus on nothin else til I have acheived it lol ( only 2 days ago I grinded shatari skyguard from friendly to exalted in only 1 day for a netherray mount ) I have played in total about 12 hours so far non stop grinding so im 100% the mount will be mine tonight. My trick was to set my hearthstone to Everlook and every time it is cooled down hearth and do the giants and the furbolg, in between I only do the provisions quest which on average takes me 10 minutes. Doing it this way saves a massive amount of travel time between quests especially when the bloody shamans are never to be found! I suppose the fact I have the band of Kirin'tor (free HS to dalaran every hour ) made it a lot easier to hearth to Everlook but if you are adamant you want to grind this mount then setting your HS there is a good idea regardless. Still got my eyes open for Rak though... being a hunter but no luck just yet :( Good luck all and happy mindless grinding :)
personally i wouldn't do this grind if i weren't a skinner, i think the drop rate would make me mental! my system from friendly to honored was a triangle route. from the rock (past the cats) i worked the valley heading to everlook. as a 71 hunter, i picked big mobs, nothing smaller than groups of 3. slaughter, maime, loot, skin, repeat. instead of going right in the village, i go up the ridge first, there's usually at least 3 ursa, and possibly 1 shaman. if your also rep grinding timbermaw, i recommend going to the cave where the chief is, he's worth 40 rep (normal ones are 20) and there's usually a shaman with him. working backwards sometimes helps beat others to the punch as well. pop into everlook repair, sell, if you have cache of mur'aur (spelling?) you can turn in the gems that drop for some nice items.
the giants can be found in and around the valley at the bottom of winterspring. i use this as an opportunity to take on some dragonkin (another terrible drop rate there *cries*) plow through them on the way down, i go into the valley. and then on the way back, kill a few more for good measure. not saying it's the fastest, but i do this when i feel motivated. when i get sick of it i drop the quests, and go do something more interesting. i hope, hope, hope that they make these a neutral quest, love to see my tauren on this kitty \(^o^)/
If you’re a skinner you can make over 500 GOLD doing this quest. I tracked the kills on 10 trips. The average number of kills is 22 to get the 10 pieces of meat. That’s almost 50% drop rate. I don’t know what people are whining about. The average number of rugged hides per trip was 15. They sell in Duskwood AH for 50s each or 7.5 gold per trip.
I hope every one has Cache of Mau’ari. After you turn in the E’kos, the merchandise you get sells very nicely to the vendors. I am getting a couple gold for each trip. Re: Wintersaber Trainers by DeathsArrow, Score 0.00

This rep grind works best if you are also trying to get timbermaw rep, kill two birds with one stone. From neutral to honored with the Wintersaber Trainers, you will kill enough of those darned furbolgs to get about 200 spirit beads, thats 12,000 rep right there, not counting the kill rep if you are doing this before revered (10 per kill, 40 off the chief in the cave, chief still gives rep after revered).
Always get all the quests, there are bears and chimeras all over the place, don't know if they upped the drop rate on the meat but it dropped for me about 50% of the time so no excuse not to do it. Furbolgs are easy as was mentioned before becuase you just kill shamans and ursa x5. Giants, well at 80 they go down with a sneeze, not to much problem killing them around level 70 either. If you are actually doing this around level 60, i'd suggest gettting a group of people who want to grind rep and go for it, otherwise stick to the previous two quests. Time is going to be the biggest investment here, took me about 10 hours to go through this start to finish at 80, this whole thing gets nuts on a PvP server, everybody is farming everything, and killing everybody for it. I think Winterspring is where the horde go when they are not in Dalaran, never seen so many 80s in a low area that was no where near am insance. Finally, if you are above the zone level, please don't take kills from people trying to get exp, and do quests. Group with them, help them, you have other far more intersting places you can go... they don't.
I dont know why people are taking so long to grind the rep for this mount it only took me 2 1/2 days to go from 0 rep to exalted and I play a protection warrior, cant get a slower rep grinding class than that.
Anyone know that in the next expansion that this quest line will be removed? With all the regions in eastern kingdoms and kalimdor being changed not so popular questlines such as this one might be removed or changed. Like the tier 2 helm from Ony, you can no longer get the lvl60 version if you were collecting the old tier sets.
well it seems hell easy as far as im concerned the repetitive-ness of it all is what seems to piss people off...
as a lvl 80 druid 1st quest x 6 = 1500/3000 takes like 45mins most with 2 quests = 3000/3000 takes 30-45 mins at most to hit 1 hour & 15-30 mins from neutral to friendly 500 rep per 10-15mins takes near to to 2.5hours to honored. whats that 3 hours to activate honored and get the 3rd quest.... wether the drop rate fails on the starter quest or not ...at lvl 80 and 2shotting everything i say do it .....850 rep per hand in.......guess viewing it on the mental side of it may come to more time doing all 3 as aposed to forgetting the starter quest and doing the other 2 quests theres alot less hands ins when you do all 3 honored = 12k to revered revered = 21k to exalted total = 33k 33k devide by 850rep(all 3 quests) = 39 hand ins 33k devide by 600rep(last 2 quest) = 55 hand ins dunno to me thinking about it, not going off by time.... 39 hand ins would seem a hell of a lot quicker than 55 Add Comment
