One of the new craftable mounts by jewelcrafters, the other ones being Ruby Panther, Sapphire Panther and Jade Panther.

Mix them all together and you'll get Jeweled Onyx Panther.

Comment by Darkchilx

All these mounts will be sellable in MoP by the looks of it.

Beta Patch Build 15544

This mount is 1 of the 4 required mount to craft the The Jeweled Onyx Panther

in overall, to craft the Jeweled Onyx Panther
will require:

Dawnstone Panther and to make this mount, you need 5 Something Expensive
Emerald Panther and to make this mount, you need 5 Something Expensive
Ruby Panther and to make this mount, you need 5 Something Expensive
Sapphire Panther and to make this mount, you need 5 Something Expensive

so for a total of 20 Something Expensive to make the Jeweled Onyx Panther

the cost of each Something Expensive is 100k. How do i know?

cause the selling price is 25k, and we know the selling price is 25% of the buying price.

so 20 Something Expensive will cost 2 Million gold/2000kg/2000000g to make the Jeweled Onyx Panther

This is one of the new Mists of Pandaria BoE mounts crafted by Jewelcrafters. It will likely require the Jewelcrafter to reach level 600 in the profession. ~~and will cost Orb of Mystery x5 (which cost 100,000g each if only sold by vendors).~~

UPDATE 08/01/2012: The materials have drastically changed for the JC mounts, thankfully ^-^

Here are the other mounts that will be craftable by Jewelcrafters:

Jade Panther
Ruby Panther
Sapphire Panther
Jeweled Onyx Panther

Screenshot of the Sapphire, Dawnstone, Ruby and Emerald

Since Mists of Pandaria is still in Beta, these materials and their quantities/pricing are subject to change. I will try to keep this post up-to-date as the beta progresses.

UPDATE: 06/26/2012

This mount was originally NOT going to be on the list of account-wide mounts in Mists of Pandaria. However, a decision was quite recently made to change this:

Mumper wrote:

We have been discussing this issue the last couple of days and we made the call to make the following mounts account-wide:

•Traveler's Tundra Mammoth
•Grand Expedition Yak
•Mechano-Hog
•Mekgineer's Chopper
•Sandstone Drake
•Grand Ice Mammoth
•Ice Mammoth
•Jeweled Onyx Panther (all color variants)
•Cloud Serpents (all color variants)

At this point, the only mounts that are not account-wide are either class specific or rewarded from PVP. We feel like both these types of mounts should still be character specific.

Thanks for your feedback on this issue!

Comment by Tunasaladin

It can be noted that while flying on this mount you'll hear a distinct sound that resembles traveling in high-wind speeds with the air blowing in your ear. This sound will cease as soon as you stop forward momentum and just float.

Comment by Rades

For some reason, this item appears in-game as Dawnstone Panther, even appearing under that name in the Mounts window. However, if you summon it, the cast bar says Sunstone Panther, and it needs to be Sunstone Panther in any mount macros. So if you are wondering why your /use Dawnstone Panther macro won't work, or why you can't find a Sunstone Panther in your inventory, it's probably this odd name bug.

Just got this off the AH on Lothar server for 11k gold. Seller put it up for auction with a 24k buyout but started the bidding at 2.5k, and it never went past 11k.... I placed my final bid hours before the auction closed, and watched it the last 30 mins, sure that somebody would outbid me, but it never happened... I feel kinda bad for the seller bc the mats alone cost almost 20k, but it's a good example of why I never list anything for less than I intend to get for it. Beautiful mount, btw.

Comment by Mendric

Personally this is my favorite looking out of the bunch. I chose to make this first, but plan on making the other 3 to then finally make the Jeweled. I figured I'd start with this one just in case I lose interest I'd at the very least then be left with what I think is the better looking of the bunch. Plus it's a good business decision.

Crafting all 4 mounts just to make the Jeweled makes it a very hard choice and will take me a long time. Putting them on the AH while I wait for that day makes it more important to put up the more popular, but whose to say which that is.

I put it up for cost of mats, plus 10k and far below what others are asking. Starting with what you think is the best looking may be wise since people looking just to buy a new mount will be looking at the pics to decide and hopefully their taste will be like yours ;)

The others are;
Sapphire Panther.
Ruby Panther.
Jade Panther.

All 4 being the mats for 1: Jeweled Onyx Panther.

I just made this mount to give to myself for my birthday. (Nice of me, huh?) Mats cost 20,895g. I was a little nervous because so many mounts have horrible riding animations, like the brown camel, which makes me have an epileptic seizure every time I ride it. Other mounts can't walk, some are disproportionate to the rider, others look plain silly when you're riding them. I had actually sold a few of these but never tried it out for myself until today.

Well, let me tell you. This baby is smooth like butter. The riding animation and proportions all look 'realistic' when flying or walking, or just standing still. The low growl it makes while flying around sounds like a real tiger - and everyone around you can hear it, which is great. There aren't a lot of miscellaneous streamers and sparkles when flying to be distracting. You feel like you're on a real flying tiger.

This thing was totally worth it and by far my favorite mount to date. Bonus: You can pick the color you want to match your mog.

I think my sales strategy will be to put one up on the AH and then fly around doing tricks in front of SW TD AH. On my server, Emerald Dream, AFTER AH TAXES, which are ridiculous 5%, you can make about 2.5 to 3k on these things.

But really, this is one of the first times I don't regret spending money on a mount. Kudos, Blizz. This is by far one of your best.

My only regret is that when I check in the Inn to go to bed at night, I can't curl up with it.

I highly recommend this fabulous mount. And I encourage you, if you want to treat yourself, to get your hands on one as soon as possible.
