Unlike other mounts, the player turns into the Sandstone Drake, and a friend can then mount them, making it a unique two player mount. However, the mount, when created, is only bound when used, allowing players who are not Alchemists to gain the drake. In addition to having the pattern, the Vial requires approximately 29,000 gold of materials. Sandstone DrakeĪ special archaeology discovery, the Sandstone Drake requires an alchemist to find the pattern for Vial of the Sands from a rare Tol’vir archaeology project, the Canopic Jar. Like the Raptor, it is bind on pickup, so only a high level Archaeologist will be able to obtain this mount. Identical to the Blue Qiraji Battle Tank once available in Ahn’Qiraj, the Ultramarine Qiraji Battle Tank is a rare archaeology discovery (Scepter of Azj’Aqir) from the Tol’vir category. The Fossilized Raptor is a skeletal raptor, which uses the same animations as the regular raptor mounts.

The mount is bind on pickup, so only a player who learns Archaelogy and gets the luck to find the Raptor will be able to find and use it. One of three mounts obtained through Archaelogy means, the Fossilized Raptor is a rare artifact that may be discovered in the Fossil Category. Only one other mount, the Sea Turtle, may be used underwater in Vash’jir.Īlthough originally offered in multiple colors, the Seahorse is now only available in a single blue color, with silver tack. It is granted to the player for free upon the completion of the quest, and has its own unique mount speed under water. This mount is an underwater-only mount, and only works in Vash’jir zones (so it cannot be used in water in any other area). Upon entering Vash’jir, an underwater low-level Cataclysm zone designed for levels 80-82, players will complete a quest series which will reward them with an Abyssal Seahorse. Unlike other racial mounts, no Alliance member other than Worgen can learn the skill Running Wild.

This skill scales with ground mount speed. Worgen, the new Alliance race, have a unique racial mount skill called “ Running Wild.” This skill allows the Worgen to drop to all fours, and run across the ground like a wolf. There are no other colors available for these mounts. The Turbo-Trike is red and gold, with flame details and black tires. The basic trike is made simply of wood and metal, with green accents. These mounts may be purchased by Goblins, as well as any other member of the Horde if they have gained Exalted reputation with the Bilgewater Cartel. Goblins, the new Horde race, come with two new unique racial mounts: the Goblin Trike, and the Goblin Turbo-Trike. Two new races, archaeology, and new reputations and rare drops all offer chances to find a fun new best friend, or build mount count toward the Mountain o’ Mounts achievement. With the release of World of Warcraft’s third expansion, Cataclysm, comes a whole new host of mounts for the air, land, and even sea.
