So, you’re a Warlock eager to blaze across the Dragon Isles atop a fiery steed, a symbol of your mastery over fel magic? The good news is, acquiring the Dreadsteed of the Underworld in Dragonflight is a fairly straightforward process, though it does involve a trip back in time.
To get your Warlock class mount in Dragonflight, you need to complete the “Breaching the Tomb” achievement on the Broken Shore in the Legion expansion. This achievement is the culmination of a questline that unlocks after you’ve progressed significantly through your Order Hall campaign.
Let’s break it down step-by-step:
- Reach Level 45 (Minimum): While Dragonflight is the current expansion, the Legion content is scaled, so you’ll need to be at least level 45 to access the quests comfortably.
- Complete your Class Hall Campaign: Head back to your Class Hall (the Dreadscar Rift) and complete the main story campaign. This will involve numerous quests and scenarios. Keep an eye out for the quest that directs you to the Broken Shore.
- Start the “Breaching the Tomb” Questline: Once you’ve progressed far enough in your Class Hall campaign, you will receive a quest that leads you to Khadgar at Krasus’ Landing in Dalaran (the Broken Isles version). He will then send you to the Broken Shore to begin the “Breaching the Tomb” questline.
- Conquer the Broken Shore: This questline involves various tasks around the Broken Shore, including contributing to the war effort, completing world quests, building structures, and eventually storming the Tomb of Sargeras.
- Earn the Achievement: As you progress through the questline, you will gradually complete the various steps required for the “Breaching the Tomb” achievement. This includes completing specific Broken Shore quests, doing world quests, upgrading your Order Hall, and researching Order Hall advancements.
- Claim Your Mount: Once you’ve earned the “Breaching the Tomb” achievement, return to your Class Hall. A new quest will be available, awarding you the Dreadsteed of the Underworld. You may have to check with Lord Hel’nurath within the Dreadscar Rift.
FAQs: Mastering the Dreadsteed Acquisition
Here are some frequently asked questions to help you secure your Warlock class mount in Dragonflight:
General Questions
Q1: Do I need to have played Legion to get the Dreadsteed of the Underworld?
No, you don’t need to have played Legion when it was current content. As long as you are at least level 45 and have access to the Broken Isles, you can complete the required questline.
Q2: Can I skip parts of the Class Hall campaign or the Broken Shore content?
Unfortunately, no. The “Breaching the Tomb” achievement requires specific quest completions and contributions to the war effort on the Broken Shore. Skipping quests will prevent you from progressing. Prioritize the quests that directly contribute to the achievement.
Q3: Is the Dreadsteed of the Underworld account-wide?
Yes! Once you’ve earned the mount on one Warlock, it becomes available for all Warlocks on your account.
Q4: Are there any level restrictions on using the Dreadsteed of the Underworld?
No, the Dreadsteed of the Underworld scales with your riding skill, just like any other mount. You can use it as soon as you have the required riding skill for your level.
Q5: Can I still get the other Warlock-specific mounts like the Felsteed and Dreadsteed?
Yes! The Felsteed is learned at level 20 when you learn the Apprentice Riding skill. The original Dreadsteed, summoned via the quest chain starting at level 40, is also still available.
Broken Shore and Questline Questions
Q6: Where do I start the “Breaching the Tomb” questline?
As mentioned, the questline begins with a quest given to you by Khadgar in Krasus’ Landing in Dalaran (Broken Isles). You’ll be directed to the Broken Shore from there.
Q7: What are some of the most time-consuming parts of the “Breaching the Tomb” achievement?
One of the more time-consuming aspects can be completing the world quests required for the achievement, as you’ll need to wait for them to become available on the Broken Shore. Make sure to check the map frequently and prioritize these quests. Upgrading your Order Hall can also take time, as it requires resources gathered through Order Hall missions.
Q8: I’m stuck on a specific quest in the “Breaching the Tomb” questline. Where can I find help?
Wowhead is an invaluable resource for specific quest information. Search for the quest name to find detailed guides, comments from other players, and solutions to common problems.
Q9: Do I need a group to complete any of the quests in the “Breaching the Tomb” questline?
Most of the quests can be completed solo, even at lower levels. However, some of the more challenging scenarios might be easier with a friend.
Q10: What Order Hall advancements should I prioritize to speed up the process?
Focus on advancements that increase the rewards from Order Hall missions or reduce the cost of upgrading your Order Hall. This will help you gather resources more efficiently.
