There are many fancy mounts in World of Warcraft. We show you 5 mounts from Dragonflight that you can earn quickly.
In World of Warcraft Dragonflight, a major focus has been placed on the ability to customize your character to your desires. This naturally includes plenty of mounts from which you can choose a favorite for various journeys.
Even though dragons are primarily used on the Dragon Isles, a large collection of mounts is still useful. After all, the animals can be used as ground mounts in many dungeons, and in the old world, they can be used freely.
In this guide, we present to you 5 fancy mounts from WoW Dragonflight that you can all farm with relatively little effort.
1. Stormhide Salamanther
Time required: 10-15 minutes
At the beginning of the expansion, the Stormhide Salamanther required quite an effort. Farming a whopping 2,000 Elemental Overflow could turn out to be a multi-hour task. After all, you could only farm Elemental Overflow from a few enhanced mobs during a storm.
However, that has changed. Since patch 10.0.7, you can enter the Forbidden Island and will be showered with Elemental Overflow everywhere. Even simple mobs sometimes drop several dozen of it. If you look at the map and help defeat the rare elite enemies, then there’s even over 1,000 Elemental Overflow for each kill.
In other words: You only need to defeat 2 rare enemies on the Forbidden Island to afford the Salamanther mount.
You can buy the Stormhide Salamanther in Valdrakken from the vendor “Mythressa”. She is located at coordinates 38 / 38.
2. Temperamental Skyclaw
Time required: 10 minutes to 2 hours
The Temperamental Skyclaw is technically one of the riddle mounts from Dragonflight. However, the riddle was relatively quickly figured out, so shortly after launch, many players walked around with this mount.
The nice thing about this mount is that you don’t have to farm anything for it, as long as you have a few hundred gold pieces saved up. Because all the necessary items for this riddle can be easily purchased from the auction house. Usually, they are offered by the hundreds, as they drop during the leveling phase – albeit rarely in the required quantity. You need:
- 20x Flashfrozen Meat
- 20x Gnolan’s House Special
- 20x Tuskarr Jerky
Travel with these items to the Azure Span to the troll Zon’Wogi, at coordinates 19 / 24. Offer him the various items – and just like that, the mount changes ownership to you and becomes a loyal companion!
3. Verdant Skitterfly
Time required: Random
The Verdant Skitterfly is relatively easy to obtain, but requires a lot of prior work. It is necessary that you have already reached Renown level 25 with the Dragonflight Expedition – the maximum.
Once this requirement is met, you can find the Verdant Skitterfly in any of the original areas of Dragonflight – specifically in the “Expedition Scout Packs”. These are the small backpacks that you can find all over the Dragon Isles.
The handy thing is that the small bags are displayed on the minimap, so you can often simply fly from one pack to the next.
Note that you should ideally not have shovels in your inventory, as this will also display the “disturbed earth”, which only increases your farming time.
The chance for the mount is quite low, but you can farm it conveniently on the side since you will encounter the Expedition Scout Packs from time to time. Sooner or later, the mount will be yours!
4. Zenet Hatchling
Time required: A few minutes
The Zenet Hatchling is obtained from a rare enemy. The special thing here is that the corresponding rare mob “Zenet Avis” always drops this mount 100% of the time – for each character involved in the kill!
The mount is not dropped directly, but in the form of a “Zenet Egg”. You just have to leave the egg in your inventory for 7 days (it doesn’t matter if you are online or offline) and then the pretty bird hatches, who will serve as your mount thereafter.
You can find “Zenet Avis” in the Ohn’ahra Plains, at coordinates 32 / 64. Note that the bird flies a few meters elevated above the ground, so it is not on the ground level.
Another tip: If you don’t spot Zenet Avis, try it in War Mode (or in No War Mode if it has already been active). You can activate this in Valdrakken. War Mode and No War Mode are counted as two separate “instances” and can have different rare enemies active. It can be worthwhile to check both modes.
5. Lizi’s Reins
Time required: 5 days at 5-10 minutes each
Lizi’s Reins is one of the easiest mounts to obtain, as you only need to complete a small quest chain and have achieved at least Renown level 9 with the centaurs of Maruuk. Additionally, you must have completed the quest line “Initiate’s Outing” in the Ohn’ahra Plains.
The only “difficulty” is remembering to continue the quest chain. Because each day you can only complete one step of the quest. But don’t worry if you miss a day – you can always resume right where you left off.
Before starting the quest chain, you should go shopping at the auction house, as the quest chain requires several materials. However, these are offered for just a few gold pieces and should not pose a problem:
- 20x Fluorescent Liquid
- 20x Fiber-rich Leaf
- 10x Thousandbite Piranha
- 20x Woolly Mountain Fur
With these items in tow, travel to coordinates 56 / 77 in the Ohn’ahra Plains and speak with Initiate Radiya to start the quest chain. Day by day, you will need to complete different tasks until on day 5 you can receive the mount!
