Time Rift Mounts - The 10th Day: A Dozen of Mounts

Key Takeaways

• Seven mounts are available from Time Rift events introduced in Dragonflight Patch 10.1.5: five open to any faction, two faction-exclusive.
• Each mount costs 3,000 Paracausal Flakes from the realm vendor, or can drop directly from the event's end boss and the Box of Collapsed Reality.
• Events run at the top of every hour in Tyrhold Reservoir, Thaldraszus. Level 60 minimum to participate; Level 70 required for the weekly quest (1,000 Paracausal Flakes).
• The Gold-Toed Albatross comes from the Ulderoth realm (vendor: Sorotis), not Azmourne, which sells the Scourgebound Vanquisher.
• The two Warlands mounts are faction-exclusive: Reins of the Ravenous Black Gryphon for Alliance, Horn of the White War Wolf for Horde.
• Cross-faction gifting is available: Alliance players can gift the War Wolf to Horde players, and Horde players can gift the Black Gryphon to Alliance players.
• Time Rifts remain active in Patch 12.0.5, and all seven mounts are still farmable today.

Here is everything you need to know about the Time Rift event, each realm's mount and vendor, and the most efficient path to all seven.

What Are Time Rifts?

Time Rifts are a world event added in Dragonflight Patch 10.1.5 Fractures in Time (July 2023). Every hour, on the hour, a dimensional portal opens in Tyrhold Reservoir in central Thaldraszus, pulling players into a condensed alternate timeline for roughly 20 minutes. Each run ends with a realm boss whose loot bag can contain mounts, transmog, pets, and Paracausal Flakes.

The main contact for the event is Soridormi, a bronze dragon stationed at Tyrhold who offers a weekly wrapper quest and acts as a hub for the eight realm vendors. The currency is Paracausal Flakes, earned by actively participating in each rift run.

Eight alternate realms rotate through the schedule, each with its own theme and vendor NPC:

• Azmourne: Scourge; vendor Baron Sliver
• A.Z.E.R.O.T.H.: Mechagnome future; vendor Gill the Drill
• Azewrath: Burning Legion; vendor Falara Nightsong
• Azq'roth: Old God; vendor Provisioner Qorra
• Warlands: Iron Horde; vendor Warden Krizzik (faction-exclusive mounts)
• Ulderoth: Ulduar; vendor Sorotis
• Azmerloth: Murloc; vendor Sir Finley Mrrgglton (transmog and pets only)

Azmerloth is the one realm with no mount reward, which explains why seven mounts exist across eight rotating realms.

All Seven Time Rift Mounts

Each mount below costs 3,000 Paracausal Flakes from its realm vendor, or can drop from the realm's end-boss loot bag or the Box of Collapsed Reality (a bonus-roll item sold by Soridormi).

All five non-faction-restricted mounts can be purchased by any character regardless of faction. The Warlands mounts are the only two with an alignment gate.

How to Earn Paracausal Flakes

At 3,000 Paracausal Flakes per mount, understanding the income sources is worth the few minutes. The primary ways to accumulate Flakes:

• Rift participation: active involvement throughout a rift run rewards Paracausal Flakes based on contribution. Stay engaged from start to boss kill to maximize per-run income.
• Weekly quest (Soridormi): one weekly quest requires participation in a Time Rift and awards 1,000 Paracausal Flakes. Requires Level 70 to accept.
• End-boss loot bag: the bag dropped at the conclusion of each realm can contain Paracausal Flakes, a mount, transmog, or pets.
• Box of Collapsed Reality: sold by Soridormi, this bonus-roll item provides a second chance at the realm's mount drop without spending Paracausal Flakes.

Purchasing all five non-faction-exclusive mounts from vendors requires at least 15,000 Paracausal Flakes. Consistent weekly play (completing the wrapper quest each week for 1,000 Flakes) is the most reliable route for collectors who prefer the guaranteed vendor path over drop RNG.

Faction-Exclusive Mounts and Cross-Faction Gifting

The Warlands realm features two mounts locked by faction. Alliance characters purchase the Reins of the Ravenous Black Gryphon from Warden Krizzik; Horde characters purchase the Horn of the White War Wolf from the same vendor.

For players who want the opposite faction's mount, a cross-faction gift mechanic is available:

• Alliance players can obtain a Gift of the Ravenous Black Gryphon and hand it to a targeted Horde player, teaching that player the Black Gryphon.
• Horde players can obtain a Gift of the White War Wolf and hand it to a targeted Alliance player, teaching that player the War Wolf.

Both gift items are Bind on Pickup. The transfer requires both players to be present together in the game world at the moment of exchange. Once learned via the gift, the mount is usable by the recipient regardless of their own faction.

Are Time Rift Mounts Still Available?

Time Rifts were implemented as a permanent world event tied to Tyrhold Reservoir, not a limited seasonal activity. The event was not removed when Dragonflight concluded and continues to run in Patch 12.0.5 (WoW Midnight). Players leveling through Dragonflight zones or returning collectors can still participate in the hourly rifts, earn Paracausal Flakes, and farm all seven mounts through vendor purchase or boss drops.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Paracausal Flakes does each Time Rift mount cost?

Each mount costs 3,000 Paracausal Flakes from the realm vendor near Soridormi. The weekly quest awards 1,000 Flakes per completion, making consistent weekly runs the most efficient path to vendor purchasing.

Can I get Time Rift mounts without buying them from vendors?

Yes. Each realm's end boss drops a loot bag that can contain the realm's mount. Soridormi also sells the Box of Collapsed Reality, which provides a second drop chance per event without spending any Paracausal Flakes.

What is the minimum level to participate in Time Rifts?

Level 60 is the minimum to enter and participate in Time Rift events. The weekly wrapper quest from Soridormi that rewards 1,000 Paracausal Flakes requires Level 70 to accept.

Why can't I buy the White War Wolf or Ravenous Black Gryphon?

Both Warlands mounts are faction-restricted. Alliance characters can only purchase the Ravenous Black Gryphon; Horde characters can only purchase the White War Wolf. To acquire the opposite faction's mount, a player from that faction must gift it using the corresponding gift item bought from Warden Krizzik.

Where exactly do Time Rifts take place?

Time Rifts open in Tyrhold Reservoir in Thaldraszus. Soridormi and the realm vendors stand near the portal at approximately /way 51.1, 57.1. Events begin at the top of every hour.

Which realm sells the Gold-Toed Albatross?

The Gold-Toed Albatross is sold by Sorotis in the Ulderoth realm for 3,000 Paracausal Flakes. Azmourne's mount is the Reins of the Scourgebound Vanquisher, sold by Baron Sliver.

Are Time Rift mounts still obtainable in 2026?

Yes. Time Rifts remain active in Patch 12.0.5 (WoW Midnight). All seven mounts are still obtainable through event participation, boss drops, and vendor purchase.
