FAQ

What are mounts in World of Warcraft and how many functional mount types are there?

In World of Warcraft, mounts are creatures or vehicles that players can ride to travel faster through the game world. They serve both practical purposes for movement and aesthetic purposes as highly desired collectibles. Functionally, mounts are primarily categorized by their movement capability into three main types:

  • Ground Mounts: Used for faster movement on land in areas where flying is not permitted or available. (e.g., Standard racial mounts, many early quest rewards).
  • Flying Mounts: Allow for swift travel through the air in zones where flying is enabled. These can also be used as ground mounts where flying is not possible. (e.g., Various Drakes, Gryphons, Cloud Serpents).
  • Water Mounts: Offer enhanced movement in water, such as significantly increased swim speed or, historically, the ability to walk on water. (e.g., Sea Turtle, Water Strider mounts).

What are the different sources for obtaining mounts in World of Warcraft?

Mounts in World of Warcraft can be acquired from numerous sources, each often presenting unique challenges for collectors:

  • Rare Drops: From raid, dungeon, or world bosses, often with notoriously low drop rates that require many attempts.
  • Reputation: Earned by gaining favor with specific factions through extensive grinding of quests or activities.
  • Achievements: Awarded for completing challenging in-game feats or collections, requiring skill or dedication.
  • Vendors: Purchased with gold, specific currencies, or after completing pre-requisite content.
  • Black Market Auction House: An unpredictable source for bidding on extremely rare and discontinued mounts, often requiring vast gold reserves.
  • Trading Card Game & Promotions: Originally from external products or limited events, often acquired via the secondary market.
  • Professions: Crafted by players with the appropriate crafting skill and materials.
  • Rare Spawns: Dropping from specific rare enemies found in the open world, requiring searching and luck.

How many mounts are there in total?

As of the Patch 11.0 content for The War Within, there are well over 1,200 distinct collectible mounts available in World of Warcraft's database. This number is constantly growing with each new patch and expansion, as more mounts are added to the game.

Why is collecting mounts in World of Warcraft often difficult?

Many desirable mounts are subject to extreme rarity, having drop rates far below 1% from raid bosses, dungeon bosses, or world bosses, which can require hundreds or even thousands of attempts over long periods. Others require extensive and time-consuming reputation grinding, completing difficult or complex achievements, or involve navigating scarce or competitive sources like the BMAH or the secondary market for TCG items.
