Key Takeaways
- Siesbarg was a skyrazor flying mount added in The War Within Patch 11.0.2, awarded by the final quest of an Azj-Kahet quest chain.
- The chain started with the Vial of Tka'ktath's Blood, dropped by the rare-elite Tka'ktath, and required Renown 4 with The Severed Threads to progress.
- The "Consolation Flies" chain ran six quests, three of which demanded huge turn-ins: 1,500 Nerubian Chitin, 1,000 Nerubian Venom, and 500 Nerubian Blood.
- The efficient way to gather those materials was chain-running follower dungeons such as Ara-Kara: City of Echoes and resetting the instance, since your NPC followers cleared trash while you looted.
- Siesbarg shares its model with two raid recolors, the Reins of the Sureki Skyrazor and the Reins of the Ascendant Skyrazor, both from Queen Ansurek.
- The quest chain stays fully obtainable; only the Ascendant recolor's guaranteed Mythic drop was a War Within perk that has since reverted to a rare chance.
Siesbarg earned a reputation as one of The War Within's grindiest mounts, not because it was hard to fight for, but because it asked for thousands of nerubian materials. The clever part players landed on was doing almost all of that farming solo, inside follower dungeons, while half-watching something else. This is a recap of how the chain worked and the reset routine that made it bearable.
What Siesbarg Was and How It Started
Siesbarg was the quest-reward version of the skyrazor mount model, a nerubian flying mount tied to the Azj-Kahet storyline in The War Within. The whole chain hinged on a single rare first: the Vial of Tka'ktath's Blood, which dropped from Tka'ktath, a rare-elite that patrolled Azj-Kahet near the City of Threads at roughly 60, 62. Tka'ktath had a punishing respawn timer of six hours or more, so simply looting the vial to begin the chain was often the slowest single step. You also needed Renown 4 with The Severed Threads before the questline would open up, which gated it behind a little reputation progress.
The Consolation Flies Quest Chain
Once the vial was in hand, the "Consolation Flies" chain ran across six quests, several of them locked to one per day, which is what stretched it into a multi-day project. The material turn-ins were the heart of it:
- The Beginning of Something Beautiful opened the chain.
- Those Are Chitin Words: turn in 1,500 Nerubian Chitin.
- Venom? More Like Get 'Em: turn in 1,000 Nerubian Venom.
- A Small Ocean's Worth of Blood: turn in 500 Nerubian Blood.
- Witnessing Brilliance continued the story.
- Consolation Flies closed it out and awarded Siesbarg.
Because some of those steps were daily-gated, the smart move was to stockpile materials in the background while the calendar ticked over, so nothing held you up once the next quest unlocked.
Farming Materials in Follower Dungeons
Nerubian Chitin, Venom, and Blood all dropped from nerubian enemies, and the densest, most repeatable source was the nerubian dungeons rather than the open world. Ara-Kara: City of Echoes and the City of Threads were the go-to spots. The routine was simple: queue a follower dungeon so your NPC companions handled the fighting, push to around the second boss while looting every nerubian you passed, then reset the instance and run it again. A single Ara-Kara loop returned somewhere around 80 to 100 of a given material, so five to seven loops covered a tier of the turn-ins.
Doing it as a follower dungeon was what made the grind solo-friendly. There was no competition for tagging mobs, no waiting on a group, and the instance reset cap was the only real limiter. It turned a wall of material requirements into a steady, low-attention farm.
Siesbarg's Two Raid Recolors
Siesbarg was not the only skyrazor in the sky. The same mount model shipped as three differently named recolors, and the other two came from Queen Ansurek in the Nerub'ar Palace raid. The Reins of the Sureki Skyrazor was a rare drop, around a one percent chance, from Ansurek on any difficulty. The Reins of the Ascendant Skyrazor came from Mythic Ansurek and was a guaranteed drop while The War Within was current, a perk that has since reverted to a rare chance now that the expansion has passed. Collectors chasing the raid versions can still compare our Nerub'ar Palace carries to line up an Ansurek kill.
FAQ
Is Siesbarg a real WoW mount?
Yes. Siesbarg is a genuine skyrazor-model flying mount added in The War Within Patch 11.0.2. It is the quest-reward recolor, distinct from the two raid versions that drop from Queen Ansurek.
How do you get the Siesbarg mount?
Loot the Vial of Tka'ktath's Blood from the rare-elite Tka'ktath in Azj-Kahet, reach Renown 4 with The Severed Threads, then complete the six-quest "Consolation Flies" chain, including turn-ins of 1,500 Nerubian Chitin, 1,000 Venom, and 500 Blood.
Where do you farm Nerubian Chitin, Venom, and Blood?
From nerubian enemies, most efficiently inside dungeons like Ara-Kara: City of Echoes and the City of Threads. Running them as follower dungeons and resetting the instance let you farm solo at roughly 80 to 100 materials per loop.
What renown do you need for the Siesbarg chain?
Renown 4 with The Severed Threads. That reputation gate had to be cleared before the Azj-Kahet quest chain that ends in Siesbarg would become available.
How is Siesbarg different from the Sureki and Ascendant Skyrazor?
All three are recolors of the same skyrazor model. Siesbarg comes from the quest chain, the Reins of the Sureki Skyrazor is a rare Queen Ansurek drop on any difficulty, and the Reins of the Ascendant Skyrazor comes from Mythic Ansurek.
Can you still get Siesbarg now?
Yes. The Consolation Flies quest chain remains available, so Siesbarg is still obtainable. The only thing that changed after The War Within is that the Ascendant recolor's Mythic drop is no longer guaranteed.
