How to Get Mimiron's Jumpjets from the Secrets of Azeroth Event

Key Takeaways

Mimiron's Jumpjets was the headline mount of the Secrets of Azeroth community hunt, which ran during Dragonflight Patch 10.1.7 "Fury Incarnate."
The event was live from August 31 to September 13, 2023, with daily cryptic clues the player base solved together to dig up Buried Satchels and advance the "Whodunnit?" riddle chain.
The mount came from the fourth and final Community Clue: assembling it at the Empowered Arcane Forge in Valdrakken.
Three Booster Parts had to be gathered first, one each from Felwood, Jaguero Isle, and the Dark Portal, across the earlier clues.
The forge needed 150 energy, fed by Power Sources worth 1 energy each or 5 for a Massive one, and carrying a source slowed you down, so groups charged it far faster.
Clicking a Booster Part at the charged forge claimed the mount and the "Arcane Influence" Feat of Strength. The rewards were made permanent, so Mimiron's Jumpjets is still obtainable today.

The Secrets of Azeroth was one of the most talked-about World of Warcraft events of 2023, a server-wide riddle hunt that had thousands of players digging in the dirt across old zones and comparing notes on every forum going. Its grand prize was Mimiron's Jumpjets, a personal flying contraption assembled at a hidden forge in Valdrakken. This is a look back at how the final clue was solved and how the whole mount came together.

What the Secrets of Azeroth Event Was

The Secrets of Azeroth arrived with Patch 10.1.7 "Fury Incarnate," which went live on September 5, 2023, and the hunt itself ran from August 31 to September 13. Each day a new cryptic clue dropped, and the community pooled answers to dig up Buried Satchels from dirt mounds scattered through older zones, from the Eastern Plaguelands to Felwood and beyond. Those steps fed a long riddle chain players nicknamed "Whodunnit?", which carried roughly fourteen secrets in sequence. Importantly, Blizzard made the discovered secrets permanent rather than time-limited, which is why the rewards, including the headline mount, can still be earned long after the event window closed.

Gathering the Three Booster Parts

Mimiron's Jumpjets was not handed over in one step. Before the forge could build it, players had to recover three Booster Parts, each tied to one of the earlier community clues:

Felwood: a part dropped from the Enigmamental, a special elemental that spawned for the hunt.
Jaguero Isle: a part hidden away on the small island off the Cape of Stranglethorn.
The Dark Portal: a part recovered out in the Blasted Lands near the gateway to Outland.

With all three parts collected, the hunt converged on Valdrakken for the assembly step that the fourth clue described.

Charging the Arcane Forge in Valdrakken

The final piece played out at an Empowered Arcane Forge in Valdrakken, tucked into the Artisan's Market near the weekly profession quest givers at roughly 36.5, 62.0. The forge sat dormant until it was charged to 150 energy, and that energy came from Power Sources, glowing orbs that appeared around the city. A regular Power Source was worth 1 energy and a Massive Power Source was worth 5, so the bigger orbs were the priority.

There was a catch: carrying a Power Source slowed your movement to a crawl and grounded you, which made solo charging painfully slow. The intended solution was teamwork, with a crowd of players ferrying orbs at once to fill the meter quickly. Once the forge hit 150 energy and activated, you clicked any Booster Part to combine all three into the finished mount. Taking part also awarded the "Arcane Influence" Feat of Strength for being present when the forge powered up.

Other Rewards From the Hunt

Mimiron's Jumpjets was the centerpiece, but the wider hunt paid out a full spread of collectibles. The "Whodunnit?" chain also granted Pattie, an alpaca mount, while the satchel digging awarded the battle pet Tobias and the Community Rumors and Community Rumor Mill achievements for finding five and ten satchels respectively. A trio of toys rounded it out: the Tricked-Out Thinking Cap, the Torch of Pyrreth, and the Idol of Ohn'ahra. Because all of it remains obtainable, this is the kind of older collection goal worth chipping away at, and you can always grab a hand with mounts if a step proves fiddly.
