Midnight's Mount Sources at a Glance
World of Warcraft Midnight launched on March 2, 2026 and added over 45 new mounts to the collection. Unlike previous expansions where mounts were concentrated in raids, Midnight distributes its roster across every content type, there are desirable targets for PvE raiders, Mythic+ pushers, Delve solo players, reputation grinders, treasure hunters, PvP competitors, and seasonal event participants. No single playstyle has a monopoly on the best-looking mounts.
This guide covers the key mounts by source category, using verified names and acquisition methods from Icy Veins and Warcraftmounts.com for Patch 12.0.5.
Raid Mounts
Season 1 has three raids, Voidspire (6 bosses), Dreamrift (1 boss), and March on Quel'Danas (2 bosses), each with individual boss drops and a meta-achievement mount for completing all raid challenges.
- Ashes of Belo'ren: dropped by L'ura (also called Midnight Falls), the final boss of Mythic March on Quel'Danas. Three copies are guaranteed per Mythic kill, making it more accessible than classic low-rate Mythic mount drops. A void and light visual with a prestigious acquisition path.
- Tenebrous Harrower: the Glory of the Midnight Raider meta-achievement mount. Requires completing the full suite of raid challenge achievements across all three Season 1 raids. A Harrower-type undead flying mount with distinct dark coloring.
- Lucent Hawkstrider: drops from the final boss of Mythic Magister's Terrace (one of the Season 1 legacy dungeons in the Mythic+ pool).
- Spectral Hawkstrider: drops from the final boss of Mythic Windrunner Spire.
Mythic+ has its own reward track separate from raid mount drops.
Mythic+ Mounts
Two Mythic+ rating mounts exist in Season 1, both rewarded through the Midnight Keystone Master: Season One system:
- Calamitous Carrion: Keystone Master (2,000+ Mythic+ score). A skeletal flying carrion-type mount with Season 1 armoring. The most widely pursued M+ mount, earned by players completing timed +18 keys or higher across multiple dungeons.
- Convalescent Carrion: Keystone Legend (3,000+ score). A recolored variant of Calamitous Carrion with a brighter void-silver treatment. Reserved for the top-end Mythic+ players reaching the equivalent of timed +20 and above in the Season 1 pool.
Players looking to reach Keystone Hero faster can secure a Mythic+ carry run to close the score gap and unlock the Calamitous Carrion before the season ends.
Delve Mount
- Arcanovoid Construct: awarded for completing the "Let Me Solo Him: Nullaeus" achievement, which requires defeating Nullaeus (the Delve solo encounter at Tier 11 difficulty) alone. A large void-construct mechanical mount, one of the more visually distinctive rewards in the expansion and notably different from the mount-skin recolors that Delve rewards historically provided.
Faction vendors in Harandar and Zul'Aman add several more mounts to the available roster.
Reputation and Voidlight Marl Mounts
Several Midnight factions sell mounts for Voidlight Marl, the primary reputation currency earned through quests and world activities in Harandar and Zul'Aman. Notable picks:
- Amani Blessed Bear: Amani Tribe Renown 17, costs 6,000 Voidlight Marl. A large ceremonially armored bear mount with vibrant Amani tribal textures.
- Cerulean Sporeglider: Hara'ti Renown 19, costs 8,000 Voidlight Marl from the Harandar vendor. A smooth-animated gliding mount adorned with mushrooms and an affectionate riding model, one of the more visually unique vendors in the patch.
- Amani Windcaller: Amani Tribe Renown 19, costs 8,000 Voidlight Marl.
Tracking Voidlight Marl spending matters, the Bears and Windcaller are the most popular choices, so players who want all three should plan Renown progression before committing to early purchases.
Rare Drops and Treasures
Open-world rare creatures and hidden treasures account for a meaningful portion of Midnight's new mount roster:
- Augmented Stormray: drops from Voidstorm rare creatures in the Voidstorm zone. A sharp-toothed flying ray mount with multiple eyes, a redesign of a classic model done well.
- Ancestral War Bear: found in the Honored Warrior's Cache treasure in Zul'Aman. A rare open-world treasure reward rather than a vendor purchase, requires locating the specific chest.
- Amani Sharptalon: rare drop from Amani rare creatures in Zul'Aman. Not tied to the Abundance event; requires farming the specific rare spawn rotation.
- Cobalt Dragonhawk: rare drop in Eversong Woods. One of several dragonhawk variants in Midnight, with distinctive feathered layers and a cobalt-blue coloring.
- Hexed Vilefeather Eagle: from the Abandoned Ritual Skull treasure in Zul'Aman. A hooded eagle with a decaying aesthetic, the kind of mount that splits opinion between striking and unsettling.
Several additional mounts are tied to account-wide milestone and challenge achievements.
Achievement Mounts
- Anu'shalla, Shadow's Guidance: reward for completing the Insurmountable Collection achievement (600 mounts collected). A flying mount exclusive to dedicated collectors. Players who haven't reached 600 but are close will find Midnight's broad mount catalogue a natural milestone-pusher.
- Umbral Dragonhawk: reward for the "Life of the Party" achievement (reach maximum standing with all four Noble factions at Saltheril's Soiree). Distinguished from the Cobalt Dragonhawk, the two are separate mounts with different acquisition paths.
- Echo of Aln'sharan: acquired by collecting 500 Mysterious Skyshards and presenting them at Kuri's balcony in Harandar. A Cloud Serpent model with void-energy visual effects, one of the longest individual mount grinds in the expansion.
- Elder Glowmite: from Mothkeeper Wew'tam after capturing all 120 Glowing Moths as part of the Hara'ti faction task chain in Harandar. A glowfly-inspired creature with oversized luminous eyes.
Players who cannot assemble the full group for the Glory meta-achievement can get a WoW achievement carry that covers every required boss condition in a single coordinated run.
Vendor Mounts
- Elven Arcane Guardian: purchased for 5,000 Undercoins from the Delve vendor. A compact arcane-construct mount with the characteristic Thalassian fist motif, recognisable to Blood Elf fans immediately.
- Relinquished Scarlet Charger: rewarded through the Relinquishing Relics quest series (Arator's Journey chapter questline). A Blood Knight aesthetic charger that appeals strongly to Blood Elf mains.
- Duskbrute Harrower: obtained from the Slayer's Duellum Trove (Paragon reputation box). A Harrower-type flying mount, undead avian, not the bat-type creature that some early previews suggested.
Key mounts from each category are listed below with their acquisition requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Keystone Master mount in Midnight Season 1?
The Keystone Master Season 1 mount is Calamitous Carrion, awarded at 2,000+ Mythic+ rating. A second mount, Convalescent Carrion, is awarded at 3,000+ rating (Keystone Legend). Both mounts are exclusive to the season they are earned in and cannot be obtained after Season 1 ends.
How do I get the Mythic raid mount in Midnight?
Ashes of Belo'ren drops from L'ura, the final boss of Mythic March on Quel'Duas. Three copies drop per kill, shared among the raid group. Unlike most Mythic raid mounts with a low percentage chance, the three-per-kill system makes Ashes of Belo'ren one of the more accessible prestige raid mounts in recent WoW history.
What are the best mounts to target as a casual player in Midnight?
For casual players, the strongest targets are the Amani Blessed Bear (Amani Tribe Renown 17, 6,000 Voidlight Marl, achievable through normal questing), the Hexed Vilefeather Eagle (a treasure find in Zul'Aman with no currency requirement), and the Augmented Stormray from Voidstorm rare creatures. The Echo of Aln'sharan skyshard grind is a long-term project that casual players can chip away at over the full expansion.
Is the Cobalt Dragonhawk from the "Life of the Party" achievement?
No. The "Life of the Party" achievement rewards Umbral Dragonhawk, not Cobalt Dragonhawk. Cobalt Dragonhawk is a separate mount that drops as a rare creature reward in Eversong Woods. The two share a model family but have completely different acquisition paths.
What mounts are coming from the Trading Post in Midnight?
Several mounts are planned for the Trading Post in Season 1, including Pseudoshell variants (Accented, Cabbage, and Lavender colorations) and Snapvine mounts (Savage, Ferocious, and Blooded). As of Patch 12.0.5, these are marked as "coming soon" on Warcraftmounts.com and are not yet available for purchase. Watch for their appearance in future monthly Trading Post rotations.
How do I get the Elven Arcane Guardian mount?
Elven Arcane Guardian costs 5,000 Undercoins from the Delve vendor. Undercoins are earned through Delve content across Harandar and other Midnight zones. The mount is not locked behind Renown or raid progression, making it one of the more straightforward Delve rewards.
