Acquisition Guide
- Track Rare Spawns: Use addons like NPCScan or RareScanner to tag and alert you when world-spawned mounts (e.g., Armored Skyscreamer) appear.
- Plan PvP Sessions: For mounts sold by honor or conquest vendors, set aside weekly PvP time—mounts like the Subdued Seahorse often require high rank or honor thresholds.
- Farm Mythic Content: High-end drops like the Crimson Drake have sub-2% drop rates. Running mythic raids or dungeons on a raid night increases your kill count and loot chances.
- Participate in Events: Seasonal or special events (e.g., the Celestial Festival) unlock unique mounts—mark your calendar and complete the event meta-achievement.
- Reputation Grinding: Don’t neglect classic reputations (like Ironforge) or newer factions—many reputation vendors sell exclusive ground and flying mounts at exalted.
Speed & Rarity Tiers
Mounts in World of Warcraft come in tiers that affect their utility and prestige:
- Epic (300%–310%)
High-speed ground or flying mounts; generally earned through end-game raids, reputations, or achievements. - Artifact/Legendary (310%–325%)
Often tied to special promotions, limited-time events, or extensive grind mechanics; the fastest and rarest in the game. - Rare (280%–295%)
Available via PvP vendors, holiday events, or moderate-difficulty Mythic+ dungeons; a solid mid-tier for collectors.
Understanding these tiers helps you set goals: whether you’re aiming for the fastest ride in the skies or the toughest ground mount for your armored collection.
Collection Tips
- Use an Online Tracker: Websites like Wowhead let you mark which mounts you own and filter by type, speed, or source.

- Set Weekly Goals: Allocate mount farming across your alt characters to maximize reputations and event achievements without burnout.
- Stay Informed: Each patch often adds new mounts or tweaks drop rates—bookmark patch notes or follow a reliable WoW news site to stay ahead.
