So, you have at last entered the Frozen Northrend of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion and decided that it might be cool to get yourself a WOTLK Mammoth mount.
The first question that comes to mind is 'where do you buy a WOTLK Mammoth mount'? Unfortunately, acquiring a this type of WOTLK mount does not come easy.
The obvious place to look for a Mammoth once you reach Northrend is the Dalaran market place.
There you'll find Mei Francis (Exotic Mounts) who supplies Reins of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth, an Epic mount that also carries vendors.
Handy if you're gathering, but expensive at a staggering 20,000g if you are only Neutral with the Kirin Tor.
The city of Dalaran in the Warth of the Lich King acts as a major hub to many World of Warcraft locations and is a major center of commerce for players exploring Northrend.
So it's important for players get to Dalaran as quickly as possible and set their hearthstones to a friendly Inn.
You'll have to reach at least a level 71 to start the quests for both Horde and Alliance that get you there.
Once you can reach Dalaran, your aim should be to attain favor with the Kirin Tor by grinding reputation.
This should bring the price of the Mammoth down to around 18,000g from those who have reach revered status.
If this still sounds too much, then you might want to try an alternate approach and seek out Sons of Hodir.
A much cheaper Mammoth option is to find favor with the frost giants of Storm Peaks by grinding reputation with the The Sons of Hodir.
The Quartermaster Lillehoff will sell you two types of Mammoth: Reins of the Ice Mammoth for a mere 900g once you reach Revered, and Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth once you have reach Exalted.
Gaining reputation with The Sons of Hodir is straight forward once you have completed the quest chain They Took Our Men! began by Gretchen Fizzlespark in K3 within The Storm Peaks.
The quests that follow on from this chain turn into a set of 4 Daily quests that will increase your reputation with this faction.
In addition, many NPC that you grind in this area will drop Relic of Ulduar which can also be traded in for additional reputation reward.
Grinding reputation with the Hodir is not that difficult as there are plenty of quests associated with this mob.
