Best World of Warcraft Mounts – Top WoW Mounts And How To Get Them

Other than providing an easy way to travel, mounts are a big part of the collective side of World of Warcraft. A huge variety of mounts is available in the game today, which can be obtained through questing, raids, dungeons, reputation grinding, and certain promotions. Many WoW players try to collect the rarest mounts just to add them to their collection. But rarest does not always mean that they are the best. This article will cover all the best WoW mounts and how to obtain them.

1. Bronze Drake

@ Wowhead

There’s nothing like riding around on a big dragon! World of Warcraft is known for its dragons, especially the free Feldrake mount. Bronze Drake is a classic and is definitely one of the mounts that have aged gracefully. Although this dragon is not as fancy as most others within the modern dragon mounts in World of Warcraft, it is on this list for its simplicity and beauty. It does not have the polygon count and cold visual effects, but it is classy and not that often seen, considering that the new generation of players does not use this mount.

Acquiring the Bronze Drake is simple, taking around 15 minutes. Go to a dungeon in the Caverns of Time, The Culling of Stratholme. To complete this task and acquire the dragon mount, you must complete the dungeon by following the markers on your minimap. You’ll have to do this before the time expires, so make sure to be fast. At the end of the dungeon, you should walk straight past Mal’ganis and fight against Infinite Corruptor, who is relatively easy to kill. Then loot his body and claim your prize, consisting of the Reins of the Bronze Drake. This dungeon is around 15 years old, so it should not be difficult.

2. Felsteel Annihilator

@ Sketchfab

This rare mount drop can be acquired in Hellfire Citadel raid by defeating Archimonde boss from the Warlords of Draenor expansion. It has only a 4% drop rate and is known as one of the rarest mounts in WoW. Thus, farming it on your own might be rather tricky. It will take time and a lot of luck for you to get this mount drop, so it is advised to invite some friends to help you out.

The main storyline is way past Warlords of Draenor expansion, and it is considered an easy solo raid, but the drop rate is so low it could also become a tedious task. Two quests allow you to skip all the bosses and go straight to Mannoroth, which is the 2nd to last boss. The first quest requires you to kill Gorefiend four times, allowing you to skip to the 2nd floor. The other quest requires you to kill Mannaroth four times, allowing you to skip to the 2nd floor.

3. Glacial Tidestorm

@ Wowhead

Sharing the same model as the Shaman Class Order Hall mount, Glacial Tidestorm is a smooth mount that looks fantastic. Its clear aesthetic differentiates itself from other mounts in the game with its water/ice visuals. Glacial Tidestorm is a mount that drops from the last boss of the Battle of Dazar’alor. Currently, the drop rate is relatively high, so there is no doubt that you will probably get it on your first try. The best approach to the fight is to find a group and use the “cheese” strategy. You can find many interesting strategies and related articles on esports guides.

4. Sinrunner Blanchy

One of WoW’s first horse celebrities is always a popular pick. Sinrunner Blanchy is a spooky horse mount, which is a new model of Blanchy in the afterlife. She is considered one of the best mounts in WoW that came with the WoW Shadowlands expansion. The mount is based on the new translucent-blood appearance commonly seen in the Revendreth zone.

@ Warcraft Secrets

Blanchy will spawn on the river in the Endmire and run along it until she reaches the river’s end or bumps into a player. You should wait for her to spawn by the river. There are a total of six tasks you need to complete in a manner of daily quests:

  • Day 1 – collect eight Handful of Oats, which you can find at the Saldean’s Farm in Westfall. To finish the quest, go back to Blanchy and feed her.
  • Day 2 – obtain the Grooming Brush by speaking with Snickersnee, who you can find in Darkhaven. Once you get the brush, you’ll have to interact with Blanchy to finish the quest.
  • Day 3 – on the 3rd day, you must bring Blanchy four Sturdy Horseshoes, which you can obtain from Discarded Horseshoes.
  • Day 4 – first, you’ll need to collect an Empty Water Bucket, then travel to Ardenweald or Bastion and collect a Bucket of Clean Water by interacting with a lake, river, or pond. After that, take the bucket back to Blanchy.
  • Day 5 – on this day, you’ll have to obtain the Comfortable Saddle Blanket. You can get this from an Ethereal vendor south of Revendreth called Ta’tru. Once you purchase it, take it back to Blanchy.
  • Day 6 – for your final day, you must get three Dredhollow Apples from Mims within Revendreth. Once you buy those apples, feed them to Blanchy, and you’ll receive the mount as a reward.

5. The Sea Turtle

@ Wowhead

For those who rarely go fishing in Northrend, The Sea Turtle is one of the rarest mounts in WoW. That said, if you spend a lot of time grinding the most important secondary profession, you probably already have this mount. There are a couple of guidelines that can help you acquire this mouth. It can only be found in schools of fish, not open water, and everyone has an equal chance of finding The Sea Turtle in both salt and fresh water. It might not be considered one of the best WoW mounts by everyone because it is a slow mount on land, but it is pretty fast in water!

6. Astral Cloud Serpent

@ Wowhead

Did you know the Astral Cloud Serpent is among the rarest and best WoW mounts? It is rare due to its low drop rate, and although obtaining the mount is not necessarily difficult, it can get tedious. You can find this drop in the Mogu’shan Vaults from Elefon, but with only a 1% drop rate, you are in for quite a task if you want to obtain this mythical creature. The entrance to the vaults can be found in Pandaria within the North Kun-Lai Summit. This can be difficult to find without flying, so keep that in mind.

7. Invincible’s Reins

@ Wowhead

This would not be a complete list without mentioning the legendary steed of Arthas, the Lich King. This mount has been farmed to death by countless players, and some are still desperately searching for it. It holds a special spot in any player’s mount collection.

The mount itself drops from the Lich King in Icecrown Citadel, only on the 25-man Heroic difficulty. It is relatively easy to farm nowadays, but players are still at the mercy of RNG as the mount has a fairly low drop chance. However, those persistent enough will eventually claim this beautiful mount and ride it with pride.

8. Spectral Tiger

@ Wowhead

The Spectral Tiger is a mount that needs no introduction. Widely accepted as the most prestigious mount in the game, the Spectral Tiger reigns supreme over all other mounts. But why is it so rare and what makes it that special?

The mount can only be obtained via a special code through the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game (TCG). If you were one of the lucky ones to receive it from the “Fires of Outland” set, you could exchange the 25-digit code from the card for an actual in-game mount. Since Blizzard discontinued the WoW TCG cards sometime around 2013, the mount’s price just soared even higher.

Nowadays, it can rarely be found on the auction house for outrageous prices, but you’re more likely to purchase one for real money through eBay or other similar platforms.

9. Mighty Caravan Brutosaur (Long Boi)

wow-best-mount-brutosaur

@ Wowhead

The Brutosaur mount is the first mount in the game with a built-in traveling auction house. Yes, this is a gold maker’s dream mount. Not only does it look incredibly cool, but the mount is very practical. It cuts downtime from farming to posting your items to an absolute zero, making it absolutely essential for anyone serious about making gold in World of Warcraft.

Sadly, the mount has been removed from the game and has only been seen a couple of times on the Black Market Auction House. It used to be purchasable for 5 million gold during the Battle for Azeroth expansion, but today it’s practically priceless in the eyes of many players.

Even if one randomly pops on the BMAH, it will be automatically sniped for a full gold cap value. The only hope is that Blizzard reintroduces it back into the game one day, which is unlikely at this point.

10. Lucid Nightmare

wow-best-mount-lucid-nightmare

@ Wowhead

This mount has a fitting name as it would give actual nightmares to players trying to obtain it. It featured an incredible, yet convoluted path that involved hours upon hours of secret finding and exploration.

It was introduced in the Legion expansion and was randomly discovered by a group of players who somehow tied in all the clues and stumbled upon the mount at the end of their journey. It’s still hard to obtain today, despite countless step-by-step guides on the internet. You’ll definitely need to plan this one out. If you’re patient enough, you’ll be rewarded with one of the best looking mounts in the game.

Plenty of WoW Mounts To Choose From

With such a wide variety of the best WoW mounts, it can be challenging to pick just one. The list above covers some of the best and rarest mounts that could make your gameplay much more interesting. Every player uses mounts when traveling from one place to the other, considering the size of the WoW world map, so having a mount you like can make your gameplay more fun.
