Mists of Pandaria Classic - Platinum Challenge Mode Rewards
Platinum Challenge Modes arrive in Mists of Pandaria Classic Phase 3, introducing a new difficulty tier above Gold and expanding the reward structure with fresh ways to earn Valor, Platinum Coins, toys, titles, and exclusive celestial mounts.

If you’re planning to push Platinum this season, this guide breaks down every reward, how each season works, and what you need to do to earn them.

These toys do not affect leaderboard runs but offer fun utility inside dungeons.
Realm Best Seasonal Rewards - Mounts & Titles
The highest-prestige rewards come from finishing the season with a Realm Best time in any Challenge Mode dungeon. Only the players holding the best time when the season ends receive these rewards.
Season 1 Rewards
- Title: The Mistwalker
- Mount: Reins of the Celestial Serpent
Season 2 Rewards
- Title: Mistborne
- Mount: Reins of the Celestial Tiger
Season 3 Rewards
- Title: Heir to the Mist
- Additional rewards TBD (Blizzard will reveal more later)
These titles are expected to become some of the rarest in MoP Classic.
Valor Rewards
Completing a Platinum run grants:
- Valor
- Extra rewards compared to Gold
While not the main motivation for pushing Platinum, Valor helps with gearing and upgrades during the Throne of Thunder progression cycle.
Challenge Conqueror Achievements
Each season includes a full set of Platinum achievements:
- Challenge Conqueror: Platinum (Season 1)
- Challenge Conqueror: Platinum (Season 2)
- Challenge Conqueror: Platinum (Season 3)
Additionally:
- Realm First! Challenge Conqueror: Platinum (Season 2)
- Realm First! Challenge Conqueror: Platinum (Season 3)
These are exclusive titles and feats tracking the fastest players per server.
Platinum Challenge Mode Transmog Sets
On the PTR, a full suite of class-specific Platinum transmog sets has been discovered. These appear to be purchasable with Platinum Coins, making them a long-term progression goal for dedicated players.
Each class receives a unique armor set themed around celestial energy, metallic accents, and updated MoP silhouettes:
- Death Knight Platinum Set
- Druid Platinum Set
- Hunter Platinum Set
- Mage Platinum Set
- Monk Platinum Set
- Paladin Platinum Set
- Priest Platinum Set
- Rogue Platinum Set
- Shaman Platinum Set
- Warlock Platinum Set
- Warrior Platinum Set
New Mounts, Pets, and TCG Toys on the PTR
Phase 3’s PTR also introduced several new collectibles, some completely new, others returning for the first time in years. While these are not confirmed to be tied directly to Platinum Challenge Modes, many are expected to be purchasable with Platinum Coins, Valor, or event currencies.
New / Returning Mounts
- Wooly White Rhino
Appearing both as a Mount and a Toy in the PTR build. - Magic Rooster Egg
Also flagged strangely as both a Mount and a Toy.
But their presence in the Throne of Thunder PTR build strongly suggests they will become Phase 3 content rewards.
New Pets
- Eye of the Legion
A fully functional companion pet discovered in the PTR files. - Smoldering Valor
How Platinum Differs from Gold
| Category | Gold | Platinum |
|---|---|---|
| Timer leniency | Moderate | Very strict |
| Required routing | Strong | Extremely optimized |
| Trash pulls | Route-dependent | Mandatory high-risk pulls |
| Group coordination | High | Maximum |
| Reward quality | Good | Best-in-season |
Platinum medals are designed for competitive players aiming for rankings.
