Is there a new legendary mounts pack to be added in M9? Because there should be one.

M9 brings to us Stables and new bonuses for mounts, so epic and legendary mounts are very expensive now. Especially legendary ones. By "very expensive" I mean 3-4 times more than the second most expensive lot such as certain transcendent enchantments and forgehammer of gond (compare 20-30 mln AD to 7-8 mln). This is true for Drider shard, but I guess Dragon shard prices are not that different. And I'm not sure prices will drop after M9 launch, as best mounts come from old lockboxes and the ideal choice is having at least two legendary mounts (tenser's disk and something with a desent bonus if you are not into recovery). Even more if you have more than two characters or unlucky enough to find appealing a legendary mount with some junk as its bonus, such as skeleton steed.

The problem is - since partially new (because of bonuses) content comes from old lockboxes, trying to get it is extremely unprofitable. Moreover - the lockboxes themselves are expensive and you'll need a lot of them. So new lockbox should contain not only griffon, but a kind of legendary pack instead, with our choice of legendary mount. Or there should be some other way to get old mounts than old lockboxes and auction.

I apologise if it is was already announced there'd be some kind of mount pack and I just didn't find it. Thought it's better to point this out, just in case.

1) a legendary mount is probably going to be added on the zen store, check beholder personal tank on google
2) skeleton steed has definitely one of the best bonuses in game.

The next lockbox will have a legendary Armored Griffon mount, not a legendary mount choice pack. (Edit: On second thought, I'm less sure about this prediction. It's possible that the Armored Griffon could be part of a choice pack.)

The Beholder Personal Tank will not be in the Zen Market, despite the rumour that won't die. It will be part of the new Respen's event that the devs have been hinting. My guess is that it will be like the Frozen Demon Sled, a tiny chance from an event box.

The Glorious Resurgence boxes are not that old and 1 item you can get is Glorious Resurgence Legendary Items, which include a number of Legendary mounts to choose from. You might try that.

1) I don't need beholder tank. I'll probably buy one for one of my mains if developers won't add new pack, but only for speed bonus. I am talking about mount with actually good equip powers.
2) for some classes in pvp - maybe. But in pve it's equip power is useless. Its combat power may come in handy in pvp if you're playing a slow class though.

If you actually read my post, you probably noticed that I, in fact, suggested making griffon a part of new legenadry pack.

How do you know about beholder tank coming from Respen's Game? Sounds too generous even if the chance is tiny, since you won't have to spend anything except your time to get it.

Why do I have to open glorious resurgence lockboxes and get two genie's gifts and 4 tarmalune bars (because I'm already opening those and this is the amount of tarmalune trade bars I get every time) when new life and probably m9 lockbox contain better regular drop? Cryptics are making old mounts BiS again, so they should add them into relevant lockbox.

What's more generous: letting players buy account-wide 140% speed, or letting them buy extra event boxes for a tiny chance at 140% speed for a single character?

I apologize for not reading your OP more carefully, I hadn't had any coffee yet.

Oh, I also missed the last part about event box, really sorry about that. My excuse is that it's evening in my country and I'm tired and ill (no sarcasm intended). Also, I made a quick research and now I probably understand the source of your thoughts about Respen's Game. Maybe it is true, though I'm not 100% sure. I mean, if cryptics want to bring a "specific adventuring company" to Neverwinter, they can do it through both Respen's Game and zen shop. Also, if the beholder is added as zen shop mount, I doubt it will be account-wide, since it is BoE on screenshot. So it is not particulary generous. They can change everything though, I acknowledge that.
