Key Takeaways
- Follower Dungeons arrived in Patch 10.2.5 "Seeds of Renewal" on January 16, 2024, letting you run all eight Dragonflight dungeons at Normal difficulty with AI companions instead of a group.
- Because Follower Dungeons run at Normal only, any collectible that drops at Normal can be farmed solo, while Heroic, Mythic, and Mythic+ appearances still require a real group.
- The Divine Kiss of Ohn'ahra is a transformation mount whose final step, three Stolen Breath of Ohn'ahra from Balakar Khan in The Nokhud Offensive, drops on any difficulty.
- The Ivory Trader's Ottuk comes from three dungeon rings turned in to Tattukiaka at Iskaara in The Azure Span.
- Drakewatcher Manuscripts, which unlock skyriding drake customizations, drop from Dragonflight dungeon bosses on the personal loot table, so a solo player can still receive them.
- The mounts themselves pre-date 10.2.5; the real change is that Follower Dungeons made their Normal-difficulty drops soloable.
With that summary in hand, here is exactly which collectibles Follower Dungeons opened up and what each one actually took to earn.
How Follower Dungeons Changed Collectible Farming
Patch 10.2.5 "Seeds of Renewal" added Follower Dungeons, which let a single player clear a Normal-difficulty Dragonflight dungeon alongside AI-controlled NPC companions, a tank, a healer, and damage followers, with no timer and no queue for other players. That made the mode ideal for returning and solo players who wanted to farm at their own pace.
One scoping rule shapes everything below: Follower Dungeons run at Normal difficulty only. Anything that drops at Normal can be chased solo, but appearances and gear locked behind Heroic, Mythic, or Mythic+ stay off the table in Follower mode. All eight Dragonflight dungeons were available: Ruby Life Pools, The Nokhud Offensive, The Azure Vault, Algeth'ar Academy, Neltharus, Brackenhide Hollow, Halls of Infusion, and Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr.
Divine Kiss of Ohn'ahra
The Divine Kiss of Ohn'ahra is one of Dragonflight's most striking rewards: a transformation mount that turns you into an ohuna, a wind-bird of the Ohn'ahran Plains, that you can then skyride. It is worth being clear about the grind, because the dungeon step is only the last piece.
The full chain looked like this:
- Reach Renown 25 with the Maruuk Centaur and complete their storyline.
- Earn the prerequisite mount Lizi's Reins from the same Maruuk questline.
- Hold an Exultant Incense (alchemy-crafted or bought) and an Essence of Awakening.
- Collect three Stolen Breath of Ohn'ahra, then turn in the quest "A Whispering Breeze" to Ohn'ahra.
Only that last step touches a dungeon. Stolen Breath of Ohn'ahra drops from Balakar Khan, the final boss of The Nokhud Offensive, on any difficulty. It is not a guaranteed drop, so this is the part Follower Dungeons helped with most: you could re-run Nokhud on Normal, solo, until all three breaths dropped.
Ivory Trader's Ottuk
The Ivory Trader's Ottuk is a vendor mount rather than a random drop, which makes it one of the cleaner Follower-Dungeon targets. You gather three rings from Dragonflight dungeon bosses, all of which drop on any difficulty, then turn them in to Tattukiaka at Iskaara, the tuskarr village in The Azure Span.
The three rings and where they came from:
| Ring | Boss | Dungeon |
|---|---|---|
| Thunderous Downburst Ring | The Raging Tempest | The Nokhud Offensive |
| Unstable Arcane Loop | Leymor | The Azure Vault |
| Platinum Star Band | Vexamus | Algeth'ar Academy |
The Platinum Star Band is the most forgiving of the three: besides dropping from Vexamus, it can be chosen as a reward from the quest "The Algeth'ar Academy," so a Follower run plus a quest turn-in guarantees it. Tattukiaka also sells a sibling mount, the Iskaara Trader's Ottuk, from a separate ring set, so a collector doing Follower runs can chase both.
Drakewatcher Manuscripts
Drakewatcher Manuscripts are the dragonriding customization items that unlock new patterns, horns, tails, and armor for your skyriding drakes. You apply them at a Rostrum of Transformation, and every unlock is account-wide, so a single lucky drop pays off across all your alts.
Manuscripts come from a mix of quests, Renown, professions, and Dragonflight dungeon boss drops. The dungeon versions sit on the personal loot table, which is why a solo player in a Follower or Normal run can still receive them. The Nokhud Offensive is a confirmed dungeon source for Renewed Proto-Drake customizations; other Dragonflight dungeons contribute additional patterns, so it is worth checking each dungeon's loot on Wowhead before grinding one specifically.
Farming Transmog Solo
Beyond mounts and manuscripts, Follower Dungeons quietly became a strong transmog farm. Because you can solo the Normal-difficulty runs at your own pace, any appearance that drops at Normal is now a solo grind rather than a group booking. The catch is the same scoping rule from the top: appearances restricted to Heroic, Mythic, or Mythic+ still need a real group, so plan your Follower runs around the Normal-level pieces you actually want.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Follower Dungeons in WoW Dragonflight?
Introduced in Patch 10.2.5 "Seeds of Renewal" on January 16, 2024, Follower Dungeons let you run the eight Dragonflight dungeons at Normal difficulty alongside AI-controlled NPC companions instead of other players. There is no timer and no group requirement, which makes them ideal for soloing collectible farms.
Can you get mounts from Follower Dungeons?
You can farm the Normal-difficulty items needed for mounts like the Ivory Trader's Ottuk and the Stolen Breath of Ohn'ahra step of the Divine Kiss of Ohn'ahra, since those drop on any difficulty. Mounts locked behind Heroic, Mythic, or Mythic+ cannot be earned in Follower mode.
How do you get the Ivory Trader's Ottuk?
Collect three rings from Dragonflight dungeons, the Thunderous Downburst Ring from The Raging Tempest in The Nokhud Offensive, the Unstable Arcane Loop from Leymor in The Azure Vault, and the Platinum Star Band from Vexamus in Algeth'ar Academy, then turn them in to Tattukiaka at Iskaara in The Azure Span.
Is the Divine Kiss of Ohn'ahra hard to get?
It is a long chain, not just a dungeon drop. You need Renown 25 with the Maruuk Centaur, the prerequisite mount Lizi's Reins, and three Stolen Breath of Ohn'ahra from Balakar Khan in The Nokhud Offensive, plus an Exultant Incense and an Essence of Awakening, before turning in the quest "A Whispering Breeze."
Where does the Stolen Breath of Ohn'ahra drop?
From Balakar Khan, the final boss of The Nokhud Offensive, on any difficulty, including a Follower Dungeon run. It is not a guaranteed drop, so expect to repeat the dungeon a few times.
What are Drakewatcher Manuscripts and can I get them solo?
Drakewatcher Manuscripts unlock dragonriding drake customizations, applied at a Rostrum of Transformation and shared account-wide. Several drop from Dragonflight dungeon bosses and sit on the personal loot table, so a solo player in a Follower or Normal run can still receive them.
Which dungeons are available as Follower Dungeons?
All eight Dragonflight dungeons: Ruby Life Pools, The Nokhud Offensive, The Azure Vault, Algeth'ar Academy, Neltharus, Brackenhide Hollow, Halls of Infusion, and Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr.
Do Follower Dungeons count for anything besides collectibles?
They run at Normal difficulty, so they are best for gearing alts, learning routes, and farming Normal-level drops. For Mythic+ scores, higher item level, or Keystone Hero rewards you still need a real group. You can explore our WoW dungeon boosts if you want a faster route through the harder tiers.
Follower Dungeons turned a stack of Dragonflight collectibles into a solo project, and the two ottuk-style mounts plus the Divine Kiss make a satisfying farm for anyone catching up. If you would rather skip straight to the ride, browse our WoW mount carries and let the team handle the grind.
