Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber: Glory of the Dream Raider Mount

Key Takeaways

The Reins of the Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber (item 210060) teaches a ground mount earned from the Glory of the Dream Raider meta-achievement.
Glory of the Dream Raider bundles nine boss achievements from Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope, the Dragonflight Patch 10.2 raid.
Every sub-achievement must be earned on Normal difficulty or higher. Looking For Raid clears do not count toward the meta.
The mount is delivered by in-game mail the moment the ninth achievement completes, so there is no extra vendor step.
"Glory of the Dream Raider" is the achievement name, not the mount name. The mount itself is the Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber.
Patch 10.2 "Guardians of the Dream" went live on November 7, 2023, with Amirdrassil opening on November 14, 2023.

The saber is a prestige reward, not a random drop, and that shapes everything about how you earn it.

What the Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber Is

The Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber is a sleek, shadow-toned member of the dreamsaber mount family introduced with Dragonflight Patch 10.2 "Guardians of the Dream." It is a ground mount, usable from level 45, and it shares the prowling silhouette of the other Emerald Dream cats while leaning into a darker, twilight palette. The mount is taught by the Reins of the Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber, which lands in your mailbox automatically once you finish the achievement that gates it.

The saber glides low through the underbrush and reads as a predator built for ambush rather than open chase. That look is the payoff for clearing a full slate of raid achievements, which is what makes it a collector's piece rather than a lucky drop.

How to Earn the Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber

The mount is locked behind Glory of the Dream Raider, a meta-achievement that asks you to complete nine specific boss achievements inside Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope. You do not have to finish them in one lockout, and you do not need to do them in order. They accumulate across weeks, so most groups chip away at them while progressing or on farm.

The Glory of the Dream Raider Achievements

Each criterion is tied to a mechanic-specific feat on one of the raid's encounters. The nine that make up the meta are Meaner Pastures, Swog Champion, Don't Let the Doe Hit You On The Way Out, Haven't We Done This Before?, Memories of Teldrassil (the Fyrakk the Blazing feat), Cruelty Free, Ducks In A Row, A Dream Within a Dream, and Whelp, I'm Lost. Each one usually rewards reading a short guide first, because most ask the group to handle a boss in a non-standard way rather than simply survive it.

Players who want a clean clear of the raid achievements without organising a full roster can browse our WoW achievement boosts to lock in the meta on schedule.

Difficulty and Delivery

The single most important rule is the difficulty floor. Every Glory of the Dream Raider sub-achievement counts only on Normal, Heroic, or Mythic. Looking For Raid wings do not award credit, even when the boss dies, so a group farming the mount should plan around at least Normal-difficulty lockouts. Once the ninth achievement ticks over, the Reins arrive by in-game mail. There is no quest turn-in and no vendor purchase.

A Look at Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope

Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope was the Season 3 raid of Dragonflight and the home of the entire Guardians of the Dream story beat. It runs nine bosses, from Gnarlroot at the entrance through to Fyrakk the Blazing as the final encounter, with Igira the Cruel, Volcoross, the Council of Dreams, Larodar, Nymue, Smolderon, and Tindral Sageswift filling the roster between them. Because the mount achievements are spread across these fights, working toward the saber doubles as a tour of the whole tier.

That spread is also why the saber carries weight. It is a record that you and your group handled a specific challenge on each of nine bosses, at Normal or above, across the patch that closed out the Emerald Dream arc.

Frequently Asked Questions

What mount does Glory of the Dream Raider award?

It awards the Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber, taught by the Reins of the Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber (item 210060). The achievement and the mount have different names, which is a common point of confusion. Glory of the Dream Raider is the meta-achievement; the Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber is the mount it grants.

Does Looking For Raid count toward the mount?

No. Every sub-achievement in Glory of the Dream Raider requires Normal difficulty or higher in Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope. Clearing a boss on Looking For Raid will not award the underlying achievement, so it cannot progress the meta.

How many achievements do I need for the meta?

Nine. Glory of the Dream Raider completes when you have all nine listed boss achievements, including Memories of Teldrassil on Fyrakk the Blazing. They can be earned in any order and across multiple weeks.

How is the mount delivered once I finish?

By in-game mail. The instant the ninth achievement registers, the Reins of the Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber are mailed to the character that completed the meta. There is no vendor and no quest turn-in.

What patch and raid is the Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber from?

It is from Dragonflight Patch 10.2 "Guardians of the Dream," which launched on November 7, 2023. The associated raid, Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope, opened on November 14, 2023 as the Season 3 raid.

Can I still earn the Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber now?

Yes. Glory of the Dream Raider is a standard raid meta with no time limit, so the Shadow Dusk Dreamsaber remains obtainable by completing the nine achievements in Amirdrassil on Normal or higher. With a current-content character it is far easier than it was at launch.
