This mount used to drop from the fourth bonus loot chest in Zul'Aman at a 100% rate. After patch 3.0 the developers thought that it would be easy to get when people are level 80, and thus it would no longer be viewed as a status symbol, so they removed it from the loot tables.

The first mount dropped for Inferni from the guild For the Horde on the PTR.

We actually got this from the Hidden Loot Bag - very lucky find

Comment by pinch999

Just to give an indication of difficulty on the timed event: We finished it with 1 minute left on our clock (Eagle, Bear, Dragonhawk, Lynx), and we were 10 T6 geared folks. We used flasks, food, etc and it required a lot of chain pulling. More people will probably get this over time, as it requires basically no mistakes, but these kind of things get better the more you do the instance with the same people. We had actually lost to the timed event 3 times before we got it last night, but because we had the same people every night, everyone knew what to do to shave off every last second.

Yes, the bear mount is 100% from the fourth chest.

So only if you complete the timed event? Looks super tough. Wowwiki says it has a rare drop rate, I'm assuming that's broken data. Everyone will have one of these once WotLK comes out.

Comment by katholas

This is incorrect, the eagle always adds 10 minutes and the bear always adds 15 minutes the other 2 bosses add no time. this gives 45 minutes total to kill all 4 bosses if you want your bear.

Comment by 49555

This mount is very hard to get. It will require the entire raid to be atleast T6 geared and making alot of chain pulling. One mistake and you can wave goodbye to this mount.
Good luck while tryinbg to get this mount.

Comment by 114284

I have one question, let's say my group and I get thru it perfectly timed and get to the last part to get the mount. Does the mount get rolled for or does everyone in the group get one?

Comment by Smilomaniac

It's a pretty large mount, and a crowd pleaser in IF/org.
Only thing I dislike is the basket on its head, but it seems to relate to the bear being blind.
You can peek under its helm to see the white eyes.

We do runs every reset, and so far we have 10 mounts. Twice done with 6 minutes to spare.

Edit:
(I have made a mistake in regards to gear, the rogue and warrior have T6 as well. Keep in mind though, that we had worse gear 9 resets ago)
Setup and gear:
Prot Warrior (T5 and halfway through our runs, he's gotten T6 since)
Feral Druid (T5 equivalent gear)
Fury/Arms Warrior (T6)
Combat Rogue (T6 + 1 warglaive)
Enhancement Shaman (Decked out in T6, cursed vision of sargeras, the works)

Destro Warlock (T6)
Fire Mage (T6)
Resto Shaman (T6)
Holy Priest (T6)
Holy Paladin (T5)

Edit:
I can confirm that a full out T6 is indeed not needed. my guild did a time run, with 1 minute too slow, at the time all in T5 and lower gear.
Last night, my team got the second to last mount, and we had 8 minutes to spare, personal record.

General advice:
Use consumables. (don't use shattrath flasks, they don't work there)

1 prot and 1 feral is worth gold. Take down the feral's targets first and let him cat up on the prot's target afterwards.

Keep pulling, all the time. You have the druids innervate in a pinch.

Loot bosses, chances are you have better loot, I wouldn't bother disenchanting since voids are pretty much worthless, and yes, even with the upcomming splitting ability.
Agreeing on looting rules beforehand would help.

DON'T LOOT CHESTS, and don't even let them out before the time run is OVER.

The worst area is up to 3rd boss, don't pull the group on the left, but let the tank go up to the right wall, and he'll pull the group behind that. Sneak around that wall to skip the first 4-man group
Don't bother taking the route through the dragonhawk areas.
Use feral charge/bash to take down scouts. Roots break more often than the charge gets resisted.
Keep the group tight, and look out for scouts, have the rogue ready to go gouge, or have the tanks charge.
Always kill flamecasters first, and don't ever fear them. Don't bother mindcontrolling them.

When you're past 3rd boss and have about 12 minutes left, you're home free. Skip first patrol with lynx' sneak along the wall they blocked off last patch, and it's even better.

When you kill 4th boss you have to wait 2 minutes for the annoying gnome to finish blasting all the urns.. the mount is in the last one, which is in the north-eastern corner of the room.

Voila, your very own amani warbear, which everyone should press "Need" on. (Those who have, automatically skip the roll)

Comment by Smilomaniac

Further general tips:

Use bloodlusts, fire elementals and drums. (in our setup, the feral druid, enha-shammie and rogue all 3 have battle drums, keeping haste up constantly on all bossfights).
I'd recommend switching shamans midfight for giving melee bloodlust again, and then switching them back.

Have the feral druid DPS on bearboss, when he's not tanking it. (watch your aggro!)

Use Ventrilo!

On Lynx boss, don't bother killling the spawn, just keep dps on boss. (So that the feral can tank the pet with minimal effort, and still deliver dps on the boss)
Kill totems, but ignore them on last phase.

Gathering a group for Zul'Aman:

You pretty much need a dreamteam for time runs.
They don't have to be perfectly geared, T5 equivalent is fine, but you wont set any timebreaking records.

Use the setup above, in a pinch you can substitute the warlock for a shadowpriest, but you'll lack the AOE power you need for killing the adds on 3rd boss. However, you wont have any mana problems.
(As the feral druid, my innervate is always on a constant cooldown, usually spent on the mage)
You can substitute rogue for a hunter.
You can combine the above substitutions, since the hunter will be good for killing adds.

As for the group itself.. ours is made of members from top guilds.
We didn't really know eachother, other than by reputation, and some are friends.
It's nice not to be forced to drag along guildmembers who you can't refuse but don't really want to bring along, because this is a tough run.

Agree on loot distribution from the start.
Everyone gets a mount, random rolled. Everyone stays for full ten runs. No skipping out when you have your mount, that's dishonest, and very poor behaviour.
IF, there's a member that can't come, and you need to replace him, be sure to work out the rules with the replacement.

Personally, I disallow the replacement to get the mount, but he is of course welcome to the gear that drops, just like everyone else. And it's a guaranteed 3-chest run at least.
If he performs well, do an 11th run for him to get the mount as well.
Permanent replacements should be last in line for the mount.

"But everyone on the run is entitled to the mount!"
I'd say just gathering the group is half the work. If a replacement wanders in on the 6th run, and grabs a mount, then what about the others, who have worked for 5 runs before him?
Doesn't seem fair to me.

When everyone has their mount, you can keep running for easy loot of course. Sell spots for gold.
Depending on server economy, you can easily get 2-3k gold for selling a spot for a guaranteed mount. (don't forget that the money will be divided.)
The last two bosses are 6 badges, and good loot, so you can sell those spots as well, when you're done with the time run.

Be sure to use Ventrilo, and invite new people to join it as well. Teamwork is key.

Comment by Smilomaniac

Thank you for your praise.

While I checked out the gear, I realized that two of the members are actually pretty decked out, so from the start it was only 4 T5's, and pretty much the rest in T6.
Mage was replaced from T5 to T6, shaman was replaced from T6 to T6.

With so much time to spare, as we have now (8 minutes!), I'm confident that it can be done with a few practise runs with a T5 geared team, especially since a group from my guild did it 1 minute too slow, on their first real attempt.

Look up the following people on eu.wowarmory.com , all on Burning Legion (PvP - EU):

Kiler (Prot Warrior)
Svavha (Feral Druid) me :D
Krematoria (Combat Rogue)
Zorkok (Fury/Arms Warrior)
Grint (Enhancement Shaman)

Siphera (Destruction(I think?) Warlock)
Nightgloom (Fire Mage)
Kadaji (Holy Paladin aka the last to get the mount. /soothe)
Nogi (Holy Priest)
Matija (Resto Shaman)

Kiler gathered the original group and set the rules.
Finding the keymembers, and getting them to come each time was a lot of work, and very well done.

In the end, you need practice, and of course you need to know all the tactics...

Some extra tips:

On 3rd boss, make sure to clean a WHOLE side at a time.
Have the feral druid, and arms warrior grab as many as they can, while the others are nuking down the adds.
3rd boss will also be easier next patch, now that he doesn't teleport those close to him.

For the ferals:
I use an.... interesting gear mix.
T4 for tanking, and T5 for DPS.. now, the reason I do this is to achieve higher survivability in catform, and retain max armor in T4. The upgrade is so slight, that in my opinion it's not worth re-enchanting and re-gemming both sets, now that T6 is right around the corner for me.

I have some very good pieces, both DPS and tanking-wise.
So the only thing I mix, are 4 pieces of dps-"specced" T5, into the rest of my tanking gear.
This gives me a sufficient damage boost for trash, and honestly bosses as well.
I used to use full out tanking gear on bear and lynx bosses, but it's not really needed, with good healers at least.

Be sure to bind your full out dps, full out tanking, and mix gear to keys, with an addon like "Item Rack", so you can adapt quickly to situations.
The trash hits fairly hard a lot of places, so I'd recommend not switching too many things out for a mix.

As for consumables, I'd recommend +30 stamina food, Major elixir of fortitude and agility.
They support both tanking and DPS, while giving good survivability as cat.
You can substitute the stamina food for agility food.

If you have a paladin, make sure to poke and bother him for blessings all the time!
You definately want salvation when not tanking, primarily on bosses, and kings the rest of the time.

Screenshot of our team has been added. Gz to everyone, was nice running with ya :D
Edit; my shot hasn't been added. I don't know why =(

Comment by Devin

After I read these raid setup suggestions, I felt a little disappointed. We menaged to bring down 4 bosses in time with this setup:
1 Prot Warrior
2 Paladins, Prot and Holy
1 Fire/Arcane Mage
1 Resto Druid
1 Holy Priest
2 Warlocks, Affliction and Fire Dest
1 BM Hunter
1 Combat Rogue

Everyone in the group with *absoulutely no Gruul/T5 gear*, the prot paladin (me) and one of the warlocks without a single drop from even Karazhan. Some of our members had drops from 3 bosses in Zul'Aman and when we did this thing in time for the first time, we were trying the trash to Dragonhawk boss for the first time too.

Read comments, learn from others' experiences but never underestimate yourself. Teamwork and skills have priority over gear for Zul'aman's timed event.

Comment by 82616

What is the mount special for this mount?

Comment by 46854

Devin, and I tell you it's just not possible. You don't have enough dps and healing to do the constant pulling - only way of doing it. Vent as much as you want, but trash does not go faster.

Comment by pandaman

On our first ever speed run, we just scrapped it with 1 minute on clock, counting down the last 20 seconds when boss was about 5% ^^ We've got better now, following the tips all listed above and typically finish with 3-6 minutes left on clock, not had a 7 minute remaining run, but I imagine it's possible. We are all Tier 6, and have a Paladin tanking all, with help of an offtank Druid who also does DPS when needed, we only bring 2 healers and rest dps.

Comment by Smilomaniac

Zul'Aman is very gear dependant.

It shows on several points, the path up to eagle boss, where you need to be able to deliver excellent DPS to targets *and* AoE several times until reaching the end mob before the boss.
The worse gear you have here, the more difficult it is.

The Bear Boss, requires some fairly heavy tanking gear.
As a druid, you'd like at least 4 pieces of T4, crit immune and karazhan'esque gear in the rest of your slots.
Healers must be able to keep up here, and produce raw healing power.

Hawk Boss is a 50/50 deal...
You need to get the small hawks down fast, in order to do that you want to AoE half a side, if not a whole, at a time. That's gear dependant.
You can do it slowly, but then you'll meet the enrage timer, and then your tank needs to be well geared.

Lynx boss... 6-7k lashes.. need I say more?

Time run? Impossible. I'll believe it when I see the video.

Hex Lord Malacras... either you umst have enough shadow res gear to cope with him, or have healers that can cope during shadowbolt spam. It's *possible* to beat, if all targets are crowd controlled, and everyone avoids every single AoE he spams, and if they interrupt every heal.
Unless everyone is 100% on the fight, this is also gear dependant.

Zul'Jin...
Healers must keep up during lynx phase, and that's really it.

Comment by 138843

Did this with the following all in t5 or less gear (before killing kael):

2 feral druids
enhance shaman
combat rogue
fury warrior

affliction lock
fire mage
shadow priest
resto shaman
holy paladin

Comment by 111007

It's very possible in t4/badge/crafted gear. My guild is full t6 but we decided to try this with our alts. Mine is a prot paladin with 15k unbuffed health and uncrushable, for instance. I have no t4, just other random kara epics and badge gear. The healers had about 1700 + heals, casters at about 1000 +dmg etc. So long as your mana regen and pulls go quick and fluently, you'll do fine. We completed with 3 minutes to spare. Don't underestimate badge gear when combined with flasks and consumables!

On our mains, we usually complete with 6-8 minutes left. We also bring 3 healers. Two would result in a faster clear but we like to combine pulls and seed/soe with a paladin tank, our healers also throw in some DPS on bosses. They aren't chain nuking, just throwing in dots and casts during things like eagle storm, bear charge, the last 30% of dragon, and when lynx splits. Be smart, not zealous.

Comment by 134238

In my ZA group we have gotten a total of 4 bears now out of 5 serious attempts. Our "core" group consists of:

1x Prot Warrior
1x Prot Paladin
2x Holy Paladin
1x Destro Warlock
1x Elem Shaman
1x Shadow Priest

The rest of the slots are filled with DPS only (everyone in the raid has T5ish gear). Our best run so far has been with this core group plus a Balance Druid, BM hunter, and an additional Destro lock. We completed it with nearly 8 minutes to spare.

If you can find two healers that are up to the task of healing this instance, I would highly recommend it. Dropping the third healer for an additional DPS slot really helps to speed things up.

Comment by eynon

Our guild just got our first one last night, and I was the lucky guy who got it. :) We use to just "see how fast we could go" but never put any serious attempts into it. Once we did, we wanted to keep the same 10-12 people based on availability. From there, we'll start to work others in as we can.

Once we got our group together, and we started trying, we went +6 minutes, +3 minutes, +45 seconds, +1 second (literally), -3 minutes. This is the benefit of a constant group.

Tips & Tricks:

We went Eagle ---> Bear ---> Dragonhawk ---> Lynx

Our setup was:

1 Prot Warrior
1 "Hybrid" Warrior
1 Elemental Shaman
1 Enhancement Shaman
1 Rogue
1 Mage
1 Warlock
1 Hunter
1 Holy/Disc Priest
1 Holy Paladin

2 healers is definetly the way to go as long as they can handle it. You can always sub a 3rd healer in for Hex Lord and Zul'Aman if someone doesnt want anything or need anything off of them.

Since we had no shadow priest, i'd highly recommend chugging mana pots. Yes, even for trash. Your trying to accomplish a speed goal here, and if you're to stingy to purchase some extra ones, then you need to reevaluate your strategy. Drinking does take time, try to do it as much as possible, but about 90% of the run, you won't have full mana. You just won't.

Use flasks, oils, food, and everything else at your disposal. We're all in T6 and your going to need it.

If anyone has Drums of Battle, use them constantly. Even on trash.

Avoid patrols where you can. We avoid 1 on the way to the lynx boss that patrol around the hut where the repair guy is. Another is on the way to Dragonhawk right when you step off the grass, and up the stairs where the last pull is held. Its faster even if you have to wait for them to go by.

Go with people you trust and put it on group loot. You can loot the boss, but its helpful if you just wait until your done with the timed event to get the badges. Also, don't release the guy, they will be there when you come back.

Mount up when you kill the bosses.

Chain pulls are the key to the whole thing. As long as your healers have mana, and your mage is ready to sheep (when applicable) your good to go. Your caster dps can wait 3-5 seconds to continue drinking.

Last, watch videos, and read up on people's experiences from their runs.

Comment by Norrec

According to a Tigole post, this mount will not be available for people who clean ZA timers above level 70

Comment by nortigid

My group farms two of these per week, and have been for the last few months. We run nearly the same setup every time, and finish with anywhere between 6-9 minutes extra.

Group 1:
Prot Paladin
Holy Paladin
Shadow Priest
Resto Druid (DPSing during trash) -- Occasionally we swap the druid for a Holy Priest (smite bombs during trash)
Resto Shaman

Group 2:
Enhancement Shaman
BM Hunter
Fury Warrior
Destruction Warlock
Feral Druid

Sometimes we swap out a Warlock or the Fury Warrior for a second BM hunter.

This instance is completely doable with only two healers.

The main thing you have to do succeed in this is to skip all of the patrols. All of them. It takes less time to wait for the patrol to move (10-20 seconds) than it does to kill it (30-45 seconds).

Have your alts buff you outside with Spirit/AI/MoTW. Or whatever buffs you aren't currently bringing.

Good luck

Comment by Osirisofdoom

My guild has managed to get Bear Mounts consistently with the following raid composition (the same 10 ran it every week until we all got one):

Tanks: 1 Warrior | 1 Feral Druid

Healers: 1 Resto Shaman | 1 Paladin | 1 CoH Priest

DPS: 1 Mage (fire) | 1 Rogue (combat) | 1 Warrior (fury) | 1 Shaman (elemental) | 1 Warlock (destro)

I recommened going Eagle ---> Bear ---> Dragonhawk ---> Lynx. Do not loot any chests and drink \ eat immedeatly after every boss kill.

Comment by madedog

I think this is one of the best things Blizzard has invented. We're occasionally throwing a timed run on offdays, and have so far been rocking with:

Prot paladin
Retribution paladin
Feral Druid
Survival Hunter
Resto druid

and 5 random people from who one is either resto shaman or coh priest, sometimes we can rock with enhancement shaman for extra pew pew. Honestly I can't imagine doing that place without tankadin, since I'm spoiled :) (running as the retpaladin though).

First time we tried it we had some t4 people (such as me) tagging along, so it was pretty challenging. Now, depending on setup, we are able to go as fast as with 8 minutes spare on Lynx. Today we actually wiped on Nalorakk's trash but still made it with 3 minutes to spare.

It's pretty easy event once everyone are familiar with it.

And obviously the bear is pure love <3 ^^

Comment by Aerowix

This mount will be removed from loot tables upon the release of next expansion Wrath of the Lich King. It was intended as a reward for the current difficulty level (70).

"In WotLK, the Bear Mount will be replaced by a very good, epic item that is level appropriate for people doing the zone."

Comment by 69802

Current Group Setup:
--------------------------------

1 Protection Warrior
1 Feral Druid

1 Restoration Shaman
1 Holy Paladin

1 Warlock
1 Fire Mage
1 Beastmaster Hunter

1 Rogue
1 Retribution Paladin
1 Enhance Shaman

Tier 6 Quality loot, we take no short cuts and no wall exploits. Simple pour hard dps and no dumb mistakes. Generally finish with 10-15 minutes left on timer, if performed well could be executed by T5 quality people, just need to maximize dps and pop consumables

Comment by 166446

This mount is extremely hard to get, and is usually not attainable if your arent T6 geared. Usually our group finishes this event with at least 10 minutes left. To get the mount you must down four bosses preferably in the order: Eagle, Bear, Dragonhawk, Lynx.
Typically our group make-up includes:
1 Fire mage (5 pieces T6)
3 Rogues (good for stuns and such on the scouts on your way up to the dragonhawk boss. All 3 Rogues have 6 pc T6)
2 Shamans (One resto and one elemental. Take note that shamans are extremely important assets to have in this run seeing as if you did wipe, which it does happen, the run would still be doable b/c one of the shamans could use their self ress. Elemental shammy has 4 piece T6 and BT gear. The resto shammy has 5 pieces of T6 including some non-tier pieces off of sunwell bosses)
2 Paladins ( One prot and the other Holy. Prot pally has 6 piece T6. Holy pally has 5 piece T6 with some sunwell pieces)
1 Warrior (Prot. Has 4 piece T6)
1 Hunter (BM. Has 4 pc T6 in addition to that polearm that drops off the trash in sunwell)

Even with a great group make-up and great players, to get this mount requires a lot of concentration and there is very little room for error. This run is high intensity which means: no sitting down to drink (use mana/health pots when needed)
In my opinion the hardest part of this run is how you pull the gauntlet on the way to the eagle boss. There are a bunch of suggested ways to do this but the way that our group uses, which I believe is the best way, is to mount up and have your pally pull the entire gauntlet. It took us a while before we figured out that the reason our pally was taking so much dmg was because of the Windwalkers. So now we have the rogues gank the windwalkers and keep them off of the pally. If you pull this gauntlet right it should save you at least 5 minutes of time that would have been wasted.
Note: For the gauntlet make sure your fire mage has high mana efficiency because this requires a lot of mana intensive AoE attacks. I would say 11k+ mana pool. The alchemy trinket also helps a lot on this gauntlet.
Do NOT loot ANYTHING at ANY POINT during the run. Remeber, you are not here for gear/badges. You are here to get a bear mount.

Some tips for people looking to shave an extra few seconds off the clock, barring the obvious oils/food/elixirs. This is what our guild uses for Bear Cavalry runs. We don't have any T6.

* Run two healers.
* Pull half of the Eagle gauntlet, burn down the two Windwalkers, then have the hunter go up the rest of the gauntlet to misdirect the Tempest onto the tank. Have the tank pop an Ironshield Potion at the beginning to take decreased damage. AoE.
* Burn a Drum of Restoration during the gauntlet. Your drum will be up again during Eagle.
* Collapse onto the tank on Eagle instead of collapsing anywhere else. It allows your melee to continue DPSing during the storm.
* Have a feral druid cast Soothe Animal on the first duo bear pack and hug the wall on the left. It can be skipped entirely.
* Netherweave Net scouts. It never misses or resists.
* Charge into the four pack at the base of Dragonhawk's stairs if the coast is clear. You can skip the hatchling pat entirely by doing so. Don't forget to recall your totems.
* Hatch one platform, then kill BOTH hatchers until Dragonhawk is at 35%. The remaining platform will spawn all at once at that percentage. You must time this so it doesn't happen during a Fire Bomb.
* Advise your dragonhawk tank to carry Oils of Immolation and (if applicable) sapper charges and ice grenades. AoE.
* Have a rogue distract the pat that paths up towards Malacrass' stairs (right off Dragonhawk's platform) and Soothe Animal the Elder Lynx in that group to the left of his stairs. Hug the wall until you reach the spears.
* Distract the following lynx/troll pack (now to your left). Hug the spear wall and charge into the pack on the other side of the tree. When dead, mount up, stay behind the tank.
* Have your tank drag the crocolisk pat with tamer to the left wall to avoid agroing crocs by waterside with AoE.
* In Lynx's room, mark the pat. Pull it when it comes to the door regardless of what you're doing at the time. You'll not get another chance.
* Keep DPS on Lynx, never on his spirit. It takes too long to debuff the spirit for maximal DPS.

Comment by Tunasaladin

This particular mount will be discontinued at the start of Wrath of the Lich King. It will instead be replaced by an unknown item worth attaining. Players that have achieved the Amani War Bear during the Burning Crusade will also recieve an honorary title similar to that of the 'Hand of A'dal' and 'Champion of the Naaru'.

Comment by 182336

Amani War Bear is obtained by completing a successful "Timed Run" in the Raid Dungeon called Zul'Aman that's located in the Ghostlands, the mount can only be picked up by 1 raid member, unless it's a guild run or pug run with certain priorities, who gets it is mostly ruled by rolls - may luck be with you. Someone consider this stupid but I myself like the idea of that the mount will be unobtainable in the upcoming expansion: Wrath of the Lich King.

How the Timed Run works:
Open the doors - 20 minutes.
Killing Nalorakk - Gaining an extra 15 minutes to your timer.
Killing Akil'zon - Gaining an extra 10 minutes to your timer.
Killing Jan'alai - Will not reward anything to your timer.
Killing Halazzi - Will not reward anything to your timer.

Strangely people uses to go Nalorakk -> Akil'zon -> Jan'alai -> Halazzi, there's prooven that the best way is: Akil'zon -> Nalorakk -> Jan'alai -> Halazzi.
In other words you've got 45 minutes on killing these very bosses, all the four bosses has the difficulty level of Prince Malchezaar, the last boss of Karazhan. As you kill some bosses you will notice the difficulty level gets higher and higher, it's recommended that you complete Karazhan before venturing into the depths of Zul'Aman.

Chest Rewards:
1st Chest - Weapon
2nd Chest - Armor
3rd Chest - Ring
4th Chest - Amani War Bear
It doesn't have anything to say which order you kill these bosses.

At some servers you're able to buy boosts from farming teams/high end raiding guilds and acquire this mount pretty easily (though you have to farm all from 3-10k gold dependant on your server and who's boosting. When Zul'Aman was firstly released it took alot of skill to obtain this mount and most hardcore raiders have worked very hard to obtain these mounts, making it unable to obtain in Wrath of the Lich King makes it a token of skill and that you're a pre-wotlk player.

Honor to the Amani War Bear!

Comment by Sorrowbone

Just a little tip...

As you know the Vase which contains the War Bear is to your right, in the corner of the room, as you walk into Halazzi's room.

As you know she opens each Vase, the last one (the one I mentioned above) containing the Bear. If you dont want to wait, run up to the Vase, position your Camera Angle above it, and you should be able to see the bag. Simply right click it for it to open, without waiting for Ashli to open it.

However, you can not loot the piles of gold this way.

Comment by 205614

We've had a lot of success on our runs since we added a third tank. I know everyone says to bring two, but since one of them is a druid, he can dps whenever he's not needed to tank. That extra tank gives us a lot of flexibility on the pulls and a little bit of security if something goes wrong (like when we borked up the Lynx pull and our prot warrior ate a spirit lash). If someone dies, I hang back and rez while the group moves on, which speeds us up. Here's our group makeup:

Prot Warrior
Prot Paladin (me)
Feral Druid
Holy Priest
Holy Paladin
Mage
Warlock
2 Rogues
Enh Shaman

Adding the third tank is what cinched it for us. Since we did that, we've had six straight successful runs. There's no need to rush, really. If we just kill everything systematically, we win every time. The trick is just to keep pulling and not die :).

Comment by Timmeh

My guild have been farming these for the last few weeks (realistically, we could've been doing it for a lot longer, but it took the bear's imminent removal really kicked us into action). We're now doing timed runs every reset up to 3.0 and making it with at least 5 minutes to spare every run.

I won my bear tonight so I thought it'd be a good time to share some insight into how we do it, hopefully to help those still trying to achieve the run before 3.0 hits.

Our usual class setup is:

Prot warrior (myself)
Prot paladin
Combat rogue
Frost/arcane mage
Frost/arcane mage

Elemental shaman
Resto shaman
Arcane/frost mage
Holy paladin
Shadow priest

We have a lot of casters on board, ideally we'd have the two mages currently in G1 in G2 instead, but the healers need to be in there for the shadow priest's mana regen. The groups are re-arranged mid fight to allow for optimal use of heroism.

Things we've learnt from doing bear runs:

Take two healers and a shadow priest to provide mana for them while putting out damage. Three healers are unnecessary and result in the DPSers having to work extra hard, compensating for one extra person. In terms of healing classes for this run, many people will say that paladin + druid is optimal, but we've been equally successful with paladin + priest and paladin + shaman. Ultimately, if your healers are good and mixed classes, there shouldn't be a problem.
DPS should be overall averaging 1k - 1.2k per person for this run to be successful. The shadow priest can get away with doing a bit less (due to limitations on the class), but the mana they provide is invaluable to the healers. While I usually hate meters, as with any dps race, they're a necessary evil here to keep an eye on your dps and ensure they're not slacking off.
ZA timed seems to loves shamans (any spec) and mages. Shamans can heroism and provide great group buffs through their totems, mages can polymorph/spellsteal those damn flame casters as well as providing great AoE for the sections that require it. Excessive amounts of melee is not really favoured for the timed run, it puts a lot of people in one place and all but the bear boss have some form of localised AoE attack in their encounter (which greatly favours a raid that can spread out). AoE generally is appreciated, especially if you're using a prot paladin.
While fighting Akil'zon, have one raid member turn their ambient sound to max and disable all other sounds, listen out for rain starting and call to move in when they hear it (you have about 4 seconds). This is the only way to reliably gauge an incoming storm and avoid the whole raid getting into melee range for too long and taking 1 or more static disruptions - which can be disastrous with two healers.
While a lot of people do know about this, many more still don't. You can skip two pulls after the dragonhawk boss by heading towards the middle of the zone (near the stone altar - you can skip the pat by running down the side of the wall facing jan'alai). There's a steep hill you can run up with a pack of lynxes at the top. Pull and kill these. You will now see the patrol of two lynxes, two trolls in front of you - when they're towards the back of their pat route, run forwards, there's a hut to your left which has a window. Jump through the window and out the window on the other side, there's another hut next to it, again jump through the two windows. You can now run along past the exit to the lynx boss' chamber. Two packs skipped, time saved.
Use potions liberally. Mana users can even use them every cooldown, which while expensive cuts your time by minutes because you're not waiting for people to drink as much. Similarly, I'm a prot warrior in gear far exceeding what you'd need to do ZA normally, yet my health can still spike fairly low on certain bosses (especially when the healers are busy and dealing with a lot of raid damage). Do not think that you're too imba to need potions, take plenty, use them liberally. Flasks/elixirs are also an expensive but simple way to boost your raid's performance, especially while you're learning.

Best of luck to those still trying to achieve this, there will probably still be quite a few more resets before 3.0.x hits the live realms.

One tip for Taurens (and possibly Draenei, I wouldn't know since I don't roll Alliance) -- you can have clipping issues with these windows; I nearly wiped us the first time we used this method because I couldn't fit my fat cow butt through the window. I'd suggest having Deviates/Noggenfogger/Orb of the Sin'Dorei ready to go when you get here and pop them off for the smaller form.

Comment by Xerilian

Has anyone heard anything on if this item will be replaced with something else once the newest patch comes out? Or will it just be removed from the drop table altogether with no real replacement item in the loot table?

Comment by 218387

The drop on the PTR is just a second ring that comes from the 3rd timed event chest. 2 of the same ring can drop.

Comment by adamb10

As of today(patch 3.0.2) this mount is no longer obtainable.

Comment by 229966

This mount can no longer be obtained after patch 3.0.2

Comment by 165532

A small bit of trivia that Blizzard might not have intended:
"Amani" is a Swahili word that means "peace", so you are riding around on a "Peace War Bear". There are quite a few other Swahili words used in the game, mostly in "safari" references, but none quite as funny as this. I got a bear the last day it dropped and I always lol when I see the name.

Comment by Smilomaniac

Amani War Bear along with the Riding Turtle, do not dissapear on use when you learn them.
People might want to hold on to them, in case they become bound on account items.

Comment by 233412

Its so unfair, what about players who started playing wow and didnt had time to get required gear for bear run? Blizzard really screwed up with this removal...
P.S. This new bear mount is so damn ugly!

Comment by 204105

The bear was removed, but no title was awarded.

A feat of strength is awarded for having the mount.

Comment by 153459

As of Patch 3.0, the bear has been removed, and the fourth chest now drops the same rings as you get from the third timed chest.

Comment by 73680

As of 3.0.2: Echoes of Doom the Amani War Bear is no longer a obtainable item.

Comment by 108903

For all the people who think that they got rid of the mount because the patch made it so much easier. Please explain why they still let the ZG Raptor drop
https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=19872#comments

Comment by 36193

Supposed to be a unique mount. To the point that they made it an Achievement under Feats of Strength. As it is they are everywhere, it is not unique atm. It isn't meant for everyone to be able to do it, wasn't meant to be available forever, and they indicated it would be dropped off the loot table.

This isn't unique, Blizzard has done this before and will do it again. Those that have things like the Arcanite Ripper, Vampire Batling, AQ mount and numerous other unique, limited time to aquire items are meant to be a badge of honor. They did a whole event to open the gates of AQ but only a handful of people actually participated in the opening of the gates. I did plenty of donations for commendations, yet I don't have one of the insect mounts.

This is not be confused with yearly world events like the holiday content. Totally different. Lets not water it down any more than it is, some things aren't meant to be easy mode available for all. This resembles real life, sometimes you don't get what you want. So pick a goal and go after it.

By the way, if not getting pixels upsets you this much maybe you shouldn't play. It's a game and should be fun.

(Before you flame me I don't have a warbear either. I'm going after Baron's deathcharger. It's much more rare.)

Comment by 170072

oh this is a shame... for now this will be one of 6 mounts to rarely be seen again with the release of WotLK

https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=32458
https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=30480
and last but not least. my favorite my favorite actually.
https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=13335

its a shame how the second a new xpac comes out no one bothers with anything before its time.

*edit. and how could we forget https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=19902 and https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=19872 ?

Comment by 205614

It's nice to see that even with the new expansion, these mounts remain unique. There is a new armored bear mount, but it is no where near as awesome looking as this one.

Since all we keep using between expansions are mounts and titles, this will be one of the most worthwhile items to have gotten from TBC.

Comment by 262001

Does anyone know if this mount became "bound to account?"

I deleted all my pets and mounts when Blizzard sent us copies (after I made sure they were learned). Probably wishful thinking but I would love to put my bear mount on my Death Knight. I can't find anyone to ask either since everyone I know who has a bear mount did the same thing I did.

Comment by 57943

IMO, they should make the bear a rare drop from Zul'Jin (or the Bear Avatar), it's one of the best looking mounts in-game and it's a shame that it's no longer obtainable.

Comment by 88606

In WoTLK it's removed.

Comment by 279894

Is it true?
I cant get this mount anymore?
:(

Comment by 179247

I want this to be BoA, I have it on one of my char's and want it on the rest. Only this one because its no longer drops.

Comment by MrCrowT

Currently there is a clipping error with the Amani War Bear, which still exists as of 3.0.9. The rider seems to be sitting inside the back of the bear, completely hidding the legs of the rider most of the time. The rider's torso appears welded to the back of the bear, turning them into some weird, conjoined Man-Bear (sans Pig). Looks completely stupid, and unfortunately is keeping me from enjoying my personal favorite mount.

Comment by 211100

In the 2009 arena tournament, any toon you created would start out with this mount, and could purchase Armored Brown Bear.

Comment by mutsop

I just happen to hear this today that the mount aint available anymore.
A pitty though. I suppose it's a good thing on the other hand else you would just need 1 or 2 lvl 80's to go along.

But still, I looked forward to the day to get one of these.

Gratz thought to those who have one :)

Comment by 150789

The most beautiful mount ever. Too bad all the other mounts suck and Blizzard knows this, so they removed this one from the game. What a shame and what a nonsense.

Comment by 360831

They took it out with great reason. This mount represents the goods from the bads. Blizzard knew if they kept it in they would have every Dk in the game with one. ROFL I think not. The Amani War Bear is an item of high prestige and blizzard wanted everyone who earned it to be recognized for getting it at level 70, not a bunch of scrub DK's or people who clear ZA at 80.

Comment by Varllok

Because those mounts only have a small CHANCE of dropping and are not guaranteed like the Amani War Bear was.

Comment by Miranger

As much as i'd like to say having this mount shows "skill" it trully does NOT!
I saw alot of Guild masters and Officers ninja this mount for no good reason.
Alot of shady guilds would just use some retarded DKP system in a 10man and take it themselfs
alot of the people like myself and many others who saw this happen went elsewhere to get theirs.
I got mine but i had to find myself a good guild before i had a chance and not because getting the 4th chest was hard, but because too many ninjas would take it so u outta find a guild that will have a fair system when deciding whos getting it ala 3drake OS.

Comment by 349103

It took "skill" to get this mount? No, it really didn't. It was interesting at first because it was very unique. Only a handful of people had it when Zul'Aman came out.

Then servers, like mine, became flooded with these ugly bears. The reason is, is because people "sold" mount runs.

You could easily carry 2 people through ZA and it was done many times. "WTB Amani War Bear 3000g PST!" Thats what happened, all the time. If you had money and wanted this mount, you would probably be guaranteed it.

Personally I think the best looking bears now are the Dalaran Brown Bear and the Black War Bear.

Comment by 389512

I was sad when Blizzard took out the Amani war bear that was the coolest mount ever. They should put it back in a level 80 dungeon. Then it makes it just as hard for people to get. it was hard enough before had to defeat the first 4 bosses within 45 minutes. I also do agree with Sandshrew. If everyone had one it wouldn't be cool anymore so Blizzard did have reason but they could put it back in the game and make it harder to get.

Comment by Refardeonn

They made it smaller, which SOMEWHAT ruins the looks of it.
But I still think it looks awesome.
And I still use it.

Comment by Suprem

I think that this mount it's one of the most beautiful mounts in wow . My friend got lucky with a farm group that raided ZA every 2 days pre removal ! If you have this mount today it shows that you have brains and are a quality player :P . Gratz to all that have this bear.

Comment by 382203

Blizz should make the mount come back and have it be a very low drop rate from the last boss.

If it were as low as the Attumen's mount you would barely see new people on it.

Comment by 92344

Ah the mighty kitchen bear, it's magnificent fruit bowl that fits over it's head, the beautiful checkered table cloth that sits upon it's saddle and the large icepicks that adorn its sides!

How lucky those chosen few chefs are that get to ride it!

Comment by 532818

its CRAP

Comment by opabroek

In my opinion it's stupid why don't just make the timer lower from 20 minuts to 10..
Alot of people have the right on a Amani warbear too.
Or just increase the instance from lvl 70 to 85 in cataclysm like Onyxia.

Comment by lphomiej

It's pretty cool if u had it before they took it out of the game, but i agree that it should have been left at a 1% drop rate. Give people a reason to go back to ZA. It was a really cool instance.

Comment by stonebeard

Why they just couldnt care about that. I mean developers.

Comment by killsey10

Its really too bad that you can not get this mount anymore.
A group of guildies and I did this instance last night and we had such a good time.
Most of us had never been inside and was surprised how much fun we had.

Comment by Cubedout

Would be nice if Blizzard made this Bind on account for those who obtained this before. Some people no longer play their Burning Crusade mains as much as they did. The bears are dying out.

Comment by 689982

I'd seriously do anything if Blizzard would make Zul'Aman as a lvl 85 raid instance in Cataclysm, and put this mount back in game. =)

Comment by fiffer13

It appears that this mount has been added back into the game via the shattering patch as a rare drop off of Gamon

Comment by 153653

It is good that they removed it and I hope not they make it drop again in another raid in cata. Some mounts are supose to be rare and unable to get in the future. Like this one, if you have Amani War Bear it shows you have been pro in TBC.

PS. bad spelling / grammar

Comment by 689982

Are you being serious? The bear runs were not even hard. People pugged that ^&*! on my server, what you needed was 10 decent players that knew what to do without $%^&ing up at any time, which is not exactly hard.

Ulduar were easier? Firefighter 25 sup.. Yeah, don't even compare a bear run to Firefighter in Ulduar gear.

Comment by 153653

Well Kscrublol

I dont know when you recieved your drakes, and the expansion Wrath of the Lich King all drake achievements are "faceroll" at 80, even more @ 85. The Amani War Bear were A LOT harder to get than any of WOTLK drakes.

For example, you could still get Ulduar drakes when the Icecrown Citadel patch came, so if you had ICC gear you could "outgear" the instance pretty much. And I know some says "Skills before gear" well yea, have your ICC gear + a brained guild run and gz to drakes or w/e.

Same with the ICC drakes, very very easy. After a few weeks of the release you got the buff "30% more dmg, healing, hp" which made it pace of cake even at 80. And lvl 85 + the 30% buff ....... think yourself :P could not get any easier.

Comment by 153653

If blizz put ZA back in cata they fail. There is only a few mounts you can't get today, and let it be so. It is like "gz to the one that opened the AQ door and got the only scarab mount ingame you can use outside AQ"

And then its like "BLUE POST next expansion players will be able to get scarab mount from a profession"

-_-

anyhow I will stop commenting this Item now. We all have our different views about it.

Comment by Sixpac

There is hope that this mount will return in Cataclysm. Quote "Zarhym" as of 2/14/2011:

"One never knows what might happen with Zul'Aman and the treasures of old found therein...".

Comment by Coldkil

they could just put it into again as very low % drop from 4th chest.

Comment by nvidia290

As of 4.1 they will be re introducing ZA and ZG and new Amani war bear with a new color scheme.

Comment by 495643

Today Blizzard announced that both Zul'gurub and Zul'aman will be reintroduced as level 85 5-player dungeons! They will offer epic gear! And best of all, new versions of the ZG mounts (raptor and cat), as well as a new ZA BEAR will be obtainable!

The Gurubashi Tribe Persists

Originally a 20-player dungeon released in patch 1.7, Zul'Gurub will once again open its gates, featuring updated lore, all-new encounters, achievements, and improved loot! Zul'Gurub is now a level-85 five-player Heroic difficulty dungeon. To provide a new tier above the current Cataclysm dungeons, players can expect to find epic-quality item level 353 loot. The minimum average item level to enter this Heroic dungeon is 346.

The Return of Zul'Aman

Ever a player favorite, the level-70 ten-player dungeon of Zul'Aman is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic five-player dungeon. Zul'Aman will join Zul'Gurub in a new Dungeon Finder tier of Heroic dungeons, providing epic-quality item level 353 loot. The minimum average item level to enter this Heroic dungeon is also 346. While Zul'Aman will be more of a throwback to the original dungeon featuring many of the same encounters, players can expect to find some updated gameplay mechanics, as well as new environment textures and lighting.

With the Zuls returning, you may be wondering about the unique mounts that were once contained therein. We're pleased to announce that new versions of the rare raptor, tiger, and bear mounts will be available, while the old versions of these mounts will remain unique to those who already have them. We'll reveal more about how these updated mounts can be obtained in the future.

Comment by rigel

It looks as Blizzard is bringing it back in some form in 4.1.0, as data from current PTR build shows : Amani Battle Bear

For you that think this is merely an update for the exisiting removed Amani War Bear, please notice that the original which was removed with 3.0.8 had itemnumber 33809, while the new version is not only name differently, but also had a different ID.

Old version: Amani War Bear ID 33809

New version : Amani Battle Bear ID 69747

Comment by 812063

After 4.1, Amani war bear has been replaced with Amani battle bear.

Comment by midnightstar

I missed this at level 70--I was just finishing up Kara raiding at the time--so helloooooooooooo Amani Battle Bear. You might be purple instead of orange, but I'll love you anyways.

Comment by clavarnway

Everybody knows the original is better, but it's nice to have options for people who weren't around when it was originally available, or just couldn't do it for one reason or another.

Comment by Allakhazam

Bear mount!

Me want!

Comment by Allakhazam

This Mount is recieved by completing the timed run. It is garunteed to drop from the fourth chest.

There are four bosses associated with the timed run: Nalorakk (bear), Akil'zon (bird), Jan'alai (dragonhawk), Halazzi (lynx). You have a total of 45 minutes to kill all four.

You start with twenty minutes. When you kill Nalorakk (the bear boss), you receive 15 minutes on top of whatever your time was when you killed him (not initiated the pull). When you kill Akil'zon (the bird boss), you receive an additional 10 minutes to the timer (additive in the same way). You receive no additional time for killing Jan'alai or Halazzi.

I'd suggest bird-bear-dragonhawk-lynx as that is what most guides seemed happy with. The bear-dragonhawk-lynx chain works so well given how the entrance/exits are laid out for each boss. Putting the bird boss first means you don't have to run from the lynx's room (which lets you out right in front of Hex Lord Malacrass) to the beginning of the bird boss. A strat DFR might use for the third boss is to run through the pulls and just wipe, coming up with a soulstone. I hate those scouts.

The LOOT is as such:
Fourth chest is guaranteed to drop a bear mount.
Third chest will drop an epic ring of BT/Hyjal quality.
EDIT:
The second chest will drop a weapon.
The first chest will drop armor

This will be credited to

Themistocles of lightning hoof realm, as I didn't want to type it all out, and couldn't remember which chest dropped which items except for the fourth.

Good luck everyone! You can see Gymmi of TI riding this on Kilrogg (US) horde side.

Comment by Allakhazam

the 4th timed reward chest in ZA is no longer available so those of us that have not been fortunate enough to get are out of luck.

Comment by Allakhazam

Some elf had this yesterday in Arathi Basin yesterday, it looked so damn cool! Makes me want to look into this run. Still, I'll be happy once I get my Dark War Talbuk, only 90 more powders to go!

Comment by Thottbot

just think of when LK comes out every 80 will have them from lv 80 raid gear :P, World of Bearcraft.... o.on scary thought lol

Comment by Thottbot

best ground-only mount period

Comment by Thottbot

For all those wondering how to get this beautiful mount, i have the answers

it will be sorta like the stratholm thing, you must start the ZA timed even and down all 4 animal bosses down in 45 mins,if u do this. thier will be a lootable vase outside the linx's room, and it will have a 100% chance of having the bear inside.

make no mistake this is not an easy task. your raid members better be in either full epix and not crappy epix, im talking your mag-hyjal epix(t5) and you better have ssc and maybe TK on farm.

btw, im not saying u have to be in those raids to do ZA, im in only a few kara epix and heroic blues and my guild does just fine, but all the same, to date we havnt come close to finshing the timed event, happy hunting

Last remark, for those who dont understand exactly what the timed event will be like, go to stratholm(east gate) and open the gate, you will get a debuff called barons ultimatum. you must kill him in 45 mins, try it and see how hard it is, Now imagine that 20x harder becouse ZA isnt a lvl 60 dungeon its a lvl 70 raid and not a raid for the light hearted either.

best time 51 mins.

Comment by Thottbot

My question is, does every1 in the raid get one or is it a drop that the master looter has to distribute?

Comment by Thottbot

If one dropped for everyone you would see a lot more people on them .
Ive only seen one person with one ever so far , that was a Blood Elf Mage in Alterac Valley Battleground .

Comment by Thottbot

Sexy =P I'm getting one =)

Comment by Thottbot

Don't know why are you so excited :P
Though it is cool-lookin' ,it is still 100% speed increase,right? :D
Too bad that blizzard has not increased the speed of these epic mounts that drop form raids with,let's say, 10-30%(depending on the difficulty of the instance). I think this would be more motivating.
Stil,cool mount :)

Comment by Thottbot

why speed increase? this is for coolness

My point.

U see a night elf in SW on a stormsaber
U see a night elf IN SW on Amani war bear or deathcharger

which is more impressive?

thats what i thought

If this went 10% speed increase i would still bite some heads for it

Comment by Thottbot

they should let you attack while on this mount........it is a tank isn't it?

Comment by Thottbot

oh my god.
The most depressing thing about this, is that I will never ride that bear. I know my limitations.
le sigh

Comment by Thottbot

Is this Time event starts automatically after you've entered ZA ? Or need to start it somehow ? NPC talking ? or after killing 1st Beast Avatar Boss ?
ty

that bear is freakin awesome

how exactly does this timed event start?

p.s. i dont play a gnome :S

Comment by Thottbot

got this yesterday! - and omg it is so cool. im a tauren shaman... so u know what that means... Tauren + Bloodlust + Amani War Bear = a BIG scary bastard!

Comment by Thottbot

Why do you people think it will be so easy to run ZA when WOTLK comes out? You did read about how their not gonna make it a HUGE jump like in BC right? T5 and T6 can be used all the way to lvl 80 without replacing any of it, or weapons for that matter. I think they said that Cataclysm's Edge will be the second highest DPS two hander even when wotlk comes out.

Sorry guys. Keep dreamin bout 4 lvl 80's runnin ur alt through Kara, it wont happen.
