Mounts are a really big part of the collecting side of World of Warcraft. There are tons of mounts available in the game that are obtainable through questing, reputation grinding, dungeons, and raids. Some of the older content is even soloable for players to go back and try to obtain older mounts from the previous expansions such as The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King.
Mount farming in the game gives a lot to do for players waiting for the next content drop or expansion or to take a much-needed break from raiding or dungeon grinding. Here are the 10 rarest mounts in the game, ranked.
Updated December 7th, 2020 by Linnea Capps: With the release of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, maybe players have found themselves playing the game once more. Players may want with serious swagger by pulling out impressive mounts and may not even realize they have one of the rarest in the game. As players may want to go collect these mounts, we have excluded those that are no longer available in this update. Only 1% of all players have attained these mounts. So what are we waiting for, let’s get riding!
10 Sinrunner Blanchy
While owning stats are not yet easily available for Shadowlands mounts, Sinrunner Blanchy takes some complex item gathering and several days of continuous effort to unlock, likely making it one of the rarest mounts from the new update.
To get this horse of the damned, players must collect eight handfuls of oats, one grooming brush, four sturdy horseshoes, one bucket of clean water, one comfortable saddle blanket, and three Dreadhollow apples. Players then give each set of items to the horse, in order, over the course of six days. If they befriend the undead beast, they may help Blanchy ride once more.
9 Prestigious Midnight Courser
Part of the rarity of this mount came from changes to the Honor system in-game. It takes 250 Honor to unlock the Prestigious Midnight Courser and when some players were essentially reset to lower levels many weren’t interested in grinding to unlock the mount a second time. Any players with a penchant for PVP may want to hunt this one down as it’s an impressive ride indeed.
8 Swift Shorestrider
It’s been seven years since the end of the World of Warcraft TCG. While Hearthstone is now quite the beloved title, the game doesn’t include special codes to unlock in-game content. Neopets may have done it first but these special cards are part of what drove sales of the game.
Swift Shorestrider was originally only available if players had the Wasteland Tallstrider card from the Throne of the Tides expansion which is part of its rarity today. A special card for the mount was also released at Blizzcon 2019 but with prices on eBay averaging over $400 for an unscratched card, the mount is likely to remain fairly rare.
7 White Riding Camel
This one is extremely rare as it’s only obtainable through a rare card from the trading card game. It was released back in 2012 and can still be bought online or in-game from other players. Out of the other camel mounts in the game, this may be the best-looking one but definitely not the easiest to obtain.
6 X-51 Nether-Rocket
Once again the trading card game holds a mount out of the reach of many players. Anyone could find the X-51 Nether Rocket card in the Servants of the Betrayer expansion but only 1% of total players still have it to this day. Ironically, the card also gave a second mount hilariously named the X-51 Nether-Rocket X-TREME which a total of 3% of the player base still has to this day. The less extreme mount being the rare one? Strange times indeed.
5 Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent
The cloud serpent mounts are some of the most impressive mounts in the game and the Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent is proof. The black and white glow gives it such a unique look and it looks even better when flying around. It is however a pretty difficult mount to obtain as you’ll have to farm the Sha of Anger which is only lootable once a week.
The best way to do this is to have multiple characters to kill the Sha of Anger every week. It is worth noting that it is an extremely low drop chance.
4 Thundering Cobalt Cloud Serpent
Grab the strongest weapons around because it’s time to do some raids! Thundering Cobalt Cloud Serpent is a gorgeous mount but only drops upon defeating Nalak. Did we mention the drop rate is only 0.6%? Even with a Mogu Rune of Fate the odds don’t get that much higher. Players also must become good friends with the Order of the Cloud Serpent to be given the spell necessary to ride. If they manage to meet these requirements player will be cruising in the sky in style.
3 Silent Glider
With an estimated drop rate of only .58% it’s no wonder the Silent Glider remains rare. Still, who doesn’t want to ride around on a hardcore spikey fantasy game manta ray? Oh, did we mention it also flies gloriously through the air?
Players will need to take down rare Soundless in hopes of getting this mount. These enemies only drop loot once per day, making the grind an extreme test in patience, but a worthy one once players can show off this awesome ride.
2 Son Of Galleon
Have 20,000 gold or more to hopefully buy the saddle needed to ride this mount? Have enough time to watch the Black Market for bidding to begin? Have the guts to take on the Galleon? Any players that said yes to all these questions have a chance to get in on the fun of having this rare mount for themselves! This bulky dino boy is perfect to saunter around the game in, especially since so few other players can do the same.
1 Solar Spirehawk
Solar Spirehawk is visually gorgeous yet so rare to see in the game. Players have estimated it has a .03% of dropping as loot which may explain why so few are seen riding this glorious avian. Still, with the dedication to take down Rukhmar enough times, players can look amazing as they soar through World of Warcraft.
