With patch 10.2, World of Warcraft received a ton of new quests, a new area, and rewards. One of them, the mount “Ochre Dreamclaw”, is only now available. However, to obtain the mount, you must be extremely patient.
What kind of mount is this?
- The Ochre Dreamclaw looks like a mix between a raptor, saber-toothed tiger, and bird. The creatures can be often seen in the new area of patch 10.2.
- However, the Dreamclaw is purely a ground mount. You cannot fly or soar with it.
- The Dreamclaw has been available since November 23, but you will need to complete tasks for several consecutive weeks, similar to Kua’fon from Battle for Azeroth.
This is how you obtain the Dreamclaw: You can find the start of the quest line at the “Smoldering Sproutling” at the southwestern corner of the lake right by Amirdrassil (coordinates: 49/68). When you talk to the sproutling, it wants you to extinguish the fire.
You must not be mounted, otherwise you cannot interact with the object. Once you have extinguished the fire, you need to speak to the sproutling again and clean it. Afterwards, you will receive the first quest: “Some Water…”
For this quest, you need to go to Professor Esch, a treant in the camp of Amirdrassil. From here, the 23-day journey to the mount begins.
How to Get the Ochre Dreamclaw
You need to complete a total of 5 quests, between which you must wait 3 or 5 days each:
- Follow Esch’s instructions and fill the water bucket he gives you to water the sproutling. A bar will now slowly fill up.
- 5 days later, you will receive the next quest: “A few Minerals…” For this, you need to collect fish bones from Deepcoil Lurkers. You will find these just south of the Eye of Ysera.
- Another 5 days later, there is the quest: “The Right Food.” For this, you should gather turtle egg shells, whipper root material, and bananas from Tel’Abim. The shells can be found at turtles in the southwest of the island on the beach. The material can be obtained from whippers southeast of the Amirdrassil camp. You can buy the bananas from the innkeeper. Combine all reagents by clicking on a whipper root material in your inventory.
- After 3 days of waiting, the fertilizer will be ready. Bring it to the plant and interact with it.
- 5 more days later, the next quest is ready: “And a Little Magic.” For this, you need to place a totem with treants in the east of the dream and drain energy from it.
- After another 5 days, you will finally receive the last quest: “A Little Hope is Never Valueless,” this time from Professor Esche, who stands right next to the sproutling. From him, you will then receive the mount.
While you are waiting for the sproutling to fill its bar, you can safely do something else. If you collect mounts, it is advisable to complete epic seed events in the dream. These have a chance to reward one of 6 mounts.
