Mount collecting has always been one of World of Warcraft's most addictive side pursuits, and the Midnight expansion delivers one of the biggest hauls yet. Patch 12.0 alone introduces dozens of new mounts spread across every content type, from Mythic raid drops and Keystone achievements to open world treasures and faction renown rewards. Whether you're a hardcore raider chasing prestige mounts or a casual collector farming rare mobs, there's something in Midnight's roster built for you.

What Mount Categories Exist in WoW Midnight?
Midnight organizes its mounts across ten distinct categories, each tied to a different type of gameplay. Understanding which category fits your playstyle lets you prioritize efficiently instead of spreading yourself too thin at launch.
- Delves - Vendor purchases and achievement rewards from Delve content
- Prey - Vendor purchases tied to the Preyseeker's Journey progression
- Dungeons - Mythic and Mythic+ drops plus Keystone season achievements
- Raids - Mythic boss drops and Glory meta-achievement rewards
- Player vs. Player - Rated PvP season rewards and Gladiator achievements
- Achievements - Standalone achievement unlocks across various activities
- Profession - Fishing activity rewards in specific zones
- Open World - Rare mob drops, treasure chests, and world boss kills
- Quests - Direct quest rewards from the main and side quest lines
- World Events - Limited-time event currencies and cache drops
- Renown - Faction renown track purchases and special vendor unlocks
- Reputation - Exalted and Paragon reputation rewards
info
Focus on Open World and Quest mounts first since they require no special group content and can be completed at your own pace while you gear up.
How Do You Get Delve Mounts in Midnight?
Delves offer three mounts in Patch 12.0, with two available through vendors and one locked behind a specific achievement.
The Silvermoon's Arcane Defender is the most gated of the three, requiring you to reach Rank 5 on the Delver's Journey progression track before the vendor option even becomes available. Plan your Delve grind accordingly.

The Delver's Journey rank requirement for Silvermoon's Arcane Defender means casual Delvers may need to invest significant time before the purchase unlocks. Track your rank progress early.

What Are the Prey System Mounts?
The Prey system introduces its own progression track called the Preyseeker's Journey, gated behind currency called Remnant of Anguish and specific rank thresholds.
All three are purchased from or unlocked through Construct V'anore. The Preyseeker's Nightmare stands apart as a pure achievement reward, so dedicated players can chase it independently of currency farming.
How Do You Earn Dungeon and Raid Mounts?
Dungeon Mounts
Three mounts come from dungeon content, targeting both Mythic and Mythic+ players.
- Calamitous Carrion - Earned by completing the Midnight Keystone Master: Season One achievement
- Convalescent Carrion - Earned by completing the Midnight Keystone Legend: Season One achievement (the harder of the two)
- Lucent Hawkstrider - A drop from Magister's Terrace on Mythic or Mythic+ difficulty
Raid Mounts
- Ashes of Belo'ren - Drops from the Midnight Falls boss on Mythic difficulty in the March on Quel'Danas raid
- Tenebrous Harrower - Awarded for completing the Glory of the Midnight Raider meta-achievement
warning
The Ashes of Belo'ren is a Mythic-only drop, meaning you'll need a coordinated raid group at the highest difficulty to have any chance at this mount. Drop rates on prestige mounts like this are typically very low.What PvP Mounts Are Available in Midnight Season 1?
Rated PvP players have three mounts to chase during Midnight Season 1.
The Vicious Snaplizard is the seasonal rated reward available to both factions, while the Galactic Gladiator's Goredrake is reserved for players who earn the Gladiator title, requiring a significantly higher rating threshold.

Which Open World Mounts Should You Prioritize?
Open world content in Midnight is the most mount-dense category, with drops spread across Eversong Woods, Zul'Aman, Harandar, and Voidstorm.
Rare Mob Drops
- Cerulean Hawkstrider and Cobalt Dragonhawk - Both drop from rare mobs in Eversong Woods
- Amani Sharptalon and Escaped Witherbark Pango - Both drop from rare mobs in Zul'Aman
- Rootstalker Grimlynx and Vibrant Petalwing - Both drop from rare mobs in Harandar
- Augmented Stormray and Sanguine Harrower - Both drop from rare mobs in Voidstorm
Treasure Chest Unlocks
- Ancestral War Bear - Found in the Honored Warrior's Cache treasure in Zul'Aman
- Hexed Vilefeather Eagle - Found in the Abandoned Ritual Skull treasure in Zul'Aman
- Ruddy Sporeglider - Found in the Peculiar Cauldron treasure in Harandar
- Untainted Grove Crawler - Found in the Sporespawned Cache treasure in Harandar
- Reins of the Insatiable Shredclaw - Found in the Final Clutch of Predaxas treasure in Voidstorm
World Boss Drop
- Echo of Aln'sharan - Drops directly from Aln'sharan in Harandar
info
Use an addon that tracks rare mob spawn timers and treasure locations in each zone. With eight rare mob mounts and five treasure mounts spread across four zones, manual tracking becomes exhausting quickly.
How Do Renown Mounts Work in Midnight?
Four factions offer renown-track mounts in Midnight: the Silvermoon Court, Amani Tribe, The Hara'ti, and The Singularity. Each faction follows the same pricing structure.
Renown 17 mounts cost 6,000 Voidlight Marl each, while Renown 19 mounts cost 8,000 Voidlight Marl each. Beyond the standard track mounts, two additional renown-linked rewards exist.
- Umbral Dragonhawk - Tied to Silvermoon Court renown via the Life of the Party achievement
- Vivid Chloroceros - Purchased from Mothkeeper Wew'tam after capturing 50 Glowing Moths (requires Hara'ti renown)
- Elder Glowmite - Purchased from Mothkeeper Wew'tam after capturing 120 Glowing Moths (requires Hara'ti renown)
The Elder Glowmite in particular demands serious dedication to the Glowing Moth collection mechanic, so start capturing early.

What Are the Reputation and World Event Mounts?
Slayer's Duellum Reputation
Three mounts are tied to the Slayer's Duellum reputation track.
World Event Mounts
- Amani Sunfeather and Blessed Amani Burrower - Both cost 1,600 Unalloyed Abundance from the Abundance World Event
- Reins of the Contained Stormarion Defender - A chance drop from the Victorious Stormarion Cache during the Stormarion Assault World Event
