Schematic: Goldplate Bufonid is a protoform synthesis mount.

To collect this schematic you need to kill Accelerated Bufonid mobs until it drops. Chance seems to be low (Killed 11 to get the schematic).
There are two spots you can find those bufonids within - Dimensional Falls and Sepulcher of The First Ones isle.
After bringing the schematic to Protoform Repository you will learn how to create Goldplate Bufonid mount.

To get the Goldplate bufonid you need to have unlocked the Sopranian Understanding node in the Daelic column of the cypher. After you unlock this a quest appears on the map you will need to complete to unlock the Protoform synthesis (mount maker). Once you've done this, the schematics for all of the mounts will now be obtainable.

You get the schematic by killing bufonid (frogs) in Zereth Mortis. Near the raid entrance is the best place. The drop rate seems really high, it took me 3 kills and 2 kills on my two characters.

Once you've obtained this you will also need to get:

1x Bufonid Lattice (kill frogs in Zereth Mortis or buy on the auction house).
1x Bauble of Pure Innovation (Go into Exile Hollow and to the left of Firim is a dogs bed with it on).
400x Genesis Motes (Killing most creatures in Zereth Mortis will often drop these)

Once you're done, go back to where you craft the mounts and you will have a frogger mount
