I believe you can buy the mats even if you're not an alchemist... but I'm not totally sure about that, as when I made it I was able to make it on my own alchemist. But I don't think they're bop like the chopper mats.
I have no idea what sort of tip to give someone... I found the recipe pretty quickly on my alchemist so it really wasn't a grind for me. I'd make it for you for free but my alchemist is on Cenarius. :/
maybe it'd be worth outlining in CHAT some kind of deal. like "I am trading you x, y, z [mats] and by accepting the trade you are agreeing to craft and trade me a Vial of the Sands"-- that might provide some extra insurance. I think if trade rules are spelled out clearly in chat log, that then if someone steals your mats and doesn't make/trade the mount, you can petition them for scamming. I think that's how that works anyway. that is, if you have to trust a stranger.
This, basically. It should be no problem at all to contact a GM with a ticket if someone takes off with the mats (or gold) without giving you the mount, so no need to be scared as long as you clearly spell out in-game what the deal is.
I'd definitely hit up my old guildmate, but unfortunately, there's exactly one person in my guild with the recipe and he's been on hiatus for the last couple months due to real life.
Between all my alts, I did manage to grind all the mats on my own (with the help of a guildie on the last transmute I needed so I wouldn't have to wait the extra day). For me, that was way easier than saving the money and buying off the AH. Getting to 29K saved up just for the vendor mats took months. (I'm not very good at playing the AH, sadly.)
Thanks for the tip on the "extra insurance". Haha. I never would have thought to clearly spell it out like that. I'd've been way too nervous about contacting a "stranger" in the first place. I get really anxious in social sitches like that.
All mats combined should set u back around 27K if u have the guildperk and u are grinding all farmable mats urself. otherwise it will be more depending on AH prices. The non farmable mats are BoE so u don't have to trade gold over, just buy them beforehand 500g to a 1000g is a reasonable tip for the person making it for u. Unfortunatelly i don't know anybody on that server, but i wish u good luck in finding one and happy flying hours :)
