So, you’re a Shaman, attuned to the elements, a master of totems, and you’re ready to soar through the skies atop a majestic creature forged by the Conclave of Wind itself. The quest for your Shaman class mount is a journey back to the Legion expansion, and while the world has changed, the path remains relatively the same. Here’s the straightforward answer, followed by a deeper dive into each step:
To obtain your Shaman class mount, the Felskygger, you must first complete the achievement “Breaching the Tomb” on the Broken Shore. This accomplishment opens up the path to the “Gathering of the Storms” questline, which culminates in a personalized scenario. Once you finish the scenario, you’ll witness a unique cinematic and claim your very own Felskygger, bestowed upon you by the Conclave of Wind.
The Path to Elemental Flight: A Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: The Broken Shore Beckons
Before you can even dream of riding a Felskygger, you need to unlock the Broken Shore. This zone, introduced in the Legion expansion, is the staging ground for your class mount quest.
- Assault on the Broken Shore: Initiate the questline by returning to your faction’s capital city (Stormwind for Alliance, Orgrimmar for Horde). Look for the quest “The Legion Returns” (Alliance) or “The Legion is Here” (Horde). This will lead you to Khadgar, who will guide you to the Broken Shore.
Step 2: Conquering the Tomb: Breaching the Tomb Achievement
The “Breaching the Tomb” achievement is the cornerstone of unlocking your class mount. This achievement requires completing a series of quests on the Broken Shore, demonstrating your commitment to the fight against the Legion.
- Championing the Cause: The questline involves contributing resources to the war effort, completing world quests, enhancing your Broken Shore base, and undertaking specific missions for the Legionfall campaign.
- Reputation Matters: Pay attention to your reputation with the Armies of Legionfall. Gaining reputation will unlock new quests and further advance your progress.
Step 3: Class Hall Campaign Completion
The Class Hall Campaign is a crucial pre-requisite for unlocking your class mount.
- Campaign Completion: Head back to your Shaman Class Hall, located in Maelstrom. Look for the quests to continue your campaign, or pick them up from your usual quest givers in the hall. Completing the campaign grants you an artifact weapon, further advancing you in your quest.
Step 4: Gathering the Storms
Once you’ve earned “Breaching the Tomb,” the quest “Gathering of the Storms” should become available at your class hall.
- Avocation of the Elements: You’ll be summoned to the Maelstrom, where the elements are in turmoil. This questline involves interacting with the elemental lords and answering their calls for aid.
- Elemental Harmony: As you progress through “Gathering of the Storms”, you’ll need to resolve elemental conflicts and re-establish the balance within the Maelstrom.
- A Personalized Scenario: The culmination of “Gathering of the Storms” is a personalized scenario, tailored to your Shaman class. This scenario will test your skills and resolve as you confront the forces threatening the elemental equilibrium.
Step 5: Claiming Your Felskygger
Upon completing the scenario, prepare for a truly epic moment. The Conclave of Wind will appear, presenting you with your well-deserved Felskygger mount. A unique cinematic will play, showcasing the bond between Shaman and the elements. Now you can ride your new mount into the sunset.
