Earning your class mount in World of Warcraft is a significant achievement, a testament to your dedication to your chosen class. For Warriors, this means claiming the Iron Reins of the Bloodthirsty War Wyrm, a majestic beast whose appearance shifts based on your specialization. This article provides a detailed guide on obtaining this coveted mount and addresses common questions you might have along the way.
How to Obtain the Warrior Class Mount
The path to acquiring the Warrior class mount involves completing specific milestones within the Legion expansion content, even if you’re playing in subsequent expansions like Battle for Azeroth, Shadowlands, or Dragonflight. The process is relatively straightforward but requires a commitment to completing certain objectives. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
Step 1: Complete the Class Hall Campaign
First, you need to finalize your Warrior class hall campaign. This campaign is initiated upon reaching level 10, then becoming available for the first time after you obtain your artifact weapon in the broken isles. This storyline is your personal journey as a leader of warriors, and it must be completed to earn the A Glorious Campaign achievement. This is a per-character achievement. To start it, you must first head to Krasus’ Landing in Dalaran and speak to the Val’kyr, stepping into the golden light in front of her. You will then have to click on an extra action bar button which will bring you to Skyhold, the warrior’s class hall.
Step 2: Conquer the Broken Shore
Next, you’ll need to unlock and conquer the Broken Shore. This involves completing the introductory questline for the Broken Shore, which begins with the Assault on Broken Shore quest. If your character is level 50 or above, visit the Hero’s Call Board in Stormwind or the Warchief’s Command Board in Orgrimmar and pick up the Broken Shore option “Fight The Legion”. This will grant you the quest “The Legion Returns” (Alliance/Horde). This questline culminates in the crucial Breaching the Tomb achievement. This achievement is account wide, meaning that you only need to complete it once on any character. This step is crucial, as without the completion of this achievement, you cannot proceed.
Step 3: A Godly Invitation
After completing A Glorious Campaign on your Warrior and Breaching the Tomb on any of your characters, head to the Broken Shore. Locate the Valarjar Warsinger NPC. This NPC will offer you the quest A Godly Invitation.
Step 4: Prove Your Might
The A Godly Invitation quest line involves several steps where you demonstrate your strength and skill. These steps include:
- Stage 1: Fight with Damrul the Stronk.
- Stage 2: Defeat Omanawkwa Steelhoof of Highmountain.
- Stage 3: Beat Asrea Moonblade of the Nightborne.
- Stage 4: Win the battle with Aspirant Hrefna.
These stages are solo scenarios that test your combat prowess.
Step 5: Claim Your Reward
After defeating all challengers, return to Odyn in Skyhold. He will grant you the Iron Reins of the Bloodthirsty War Wyrm. The color of this magnificent mount will change based on your current Warrior specialization: Arms for Red, Fury for Grey, and Protection for Purple.
