A letter from Brann Bronzebeard

Upon completion, players receive the [Reins of the Ironbound Proto-Drake], attached to a letter from Brann Bronzebeard:

Heroic: Glory of the Ulduar Raider

Dear <name>,

I hope ye're doing well and that ye've had time to recover from our shennanigans in Ulduar.

Me lads from the prospecting team happened upon this poor 'alf dead riding-drake hatchling. Must've been an Iron Dwarf experiment of some sort.

We've patched him back to health and you'll find he's not so wee anymore! None of us knows much about riding anything but rams and pack mules and since we owed ye one for what ye did back there... we thought perhaps you'd accept him as a gift.

Yours,
Brann Bronzebeard

Notes

The  [Ironbound Proto-Drake] will not be removed in Patch 3.2.0 as stated by Blizzard officials.

Glory of the Ulduar Raider Reward Changes | 2009-06-22 16:06 |  Bornakk

The [rusted] and [ironbound proto-drake] rewards for the normal and heroic Glory of the Ulduar Raider meta achievements will be removed at a future date. We currently do not have an exact date they will be taken out, but it is possible they will be removed when patch 3.2 comes out or at some point after that. When we do decide to remove these mounts we will provide about 1 month of warning so players will have time to make some final attempts.

These mounts are designed similar to the Arena Gladiator mounts as rewards for the top tier of raiders and we will remove the rewards once we have introduced enough new and more powerful equipment to make the completion of these achievements easier than originally intended. Since these rewards are designed for such high-end game play, we currently plan to continue removing any similar rewards we make available in the future.

Glory of the Ulduar Raider Reward Update | 2009-07-22 17:04 |  Eyonix

After further discussion, we decided not to remove the [rusted] and [ironbound proto-drake] rewards for the normal and heroic Glory of the Ulduar Raider meta achievements when patch 3.2, Call of the Crusade, launches, and currently have no plans to remove them in the foreseeable future. However, we will continue to evaluate the situation and if a decision is made to remove these rewards at any point in the future, we'll provide a one month warning so players will have time to make some final attempts.
