With the [Vial of the Sands], anyone will be able to transform into a [Sandstone Drake] that will be able to carry another person. This mount costs approx. 29,000 in vendor materials (5000 for [Pyrium-Laced Crystalline Vial] and for 8 [Sands of Time] at 3000 each), in addition to 8 each of [Flask of the Winds], [Flask of Titanic Strength], and [Deepstone Oil], as well as 12 bars of [Truegold].

The [Vial of the Sands] is not restricted to those with Alchemy only. It is not Bind on Pickup anymore and can be traded and sold on the auction house. It is the prerequisite of the [Vial of the Sands] achievement.

[Recipe: Vial of the Sands]

Source Edit

The recipe for this mount is received through max-level [Archeology] sites, inside an item called a [Canopic Jar]. The recipe only appears for Grand Master or better alchemists (Alchemy level 450 or greater).

Notes Edit

Despite selling for a lot on the Auction House, awarding an achievement (and helping others, see Mountain O' Mounts achievement), and being the only craftable flying 2-person mount, this item remains uncommon due to the large resource cost and the cost-reward ratio.
