Blizzard recently published a blog post about World of Warcraft explaining how to access many of the over 40 new mounts from Warlords of Draenor. While the tips are mainly suitable for newcomers and those who haven’t spent much time on the current expansion, the little guide is still helpful.
The Garrison: It’s like a petting zoo
In total, you can obtain 14 mounts “in” your garrison in the broadest sense. For most, you need a stable, which should ideally be upgraded to level 3 as soon as possible. Various quest chains allow you to capture animals throughout Draenor and take them after a short chase. The captured animals must now be ridden over several days until they are available to you as a permanent mount.
Those who are particularly persistent can also obtain two additional mounts, but should prepare for long days, as all 6 stable mounts require 6 specific enemies to be killed each – which means a total of 36 kills.
But reputation farmers can also benefit from the garrison: Horde players must be revered with the Laughing Skull Orcs, Alliance players should do well with the Shatar defense.
Lastly, you should participate in a garrison invasion weekly and ideally bring friends, as only in the “Gold” rated reward chests can more achievement points be hidden on all fours.
Rare Spawns: A lot of luck and time required
We have previously reported on the various rare mounts and fundamentally nothing has changed: Either you need a lot of time or a lot of luck, but probably both. Each zone has a (or in Nagrand two) rare enemy(s) that appear only a few times a week. However, anyone who participates in the fight will receive the mount. Coordination with other mount collectors is helpful to quickly arrange when one of the animals spawns.
Apexis Crystals: Ashran awaits collectors
There are plenty of mounts available in Ashran as most of the merchants are gathered there. Many of them cost Apexis Crystals, which can be obtained through daily quests or special garrison missions. Almost all also have a reputation restriction, so you must participate in PvP or longer grinding sessions.
