Soaring Through Azeroth: A Guide to Acquiring Flying Brooms in World of Warcraft

Want to take to the skies in World of Warcraft on a broomstick? While not all brooms function as permanent flying mounts, there are a few ways to get a broom, either for aesthetic purposes or for a limited time of aerial fun. There are several options to choose from, ranging from holiday-themed mounts to pets obtained through daily quests. The most common and desired “flying broom” in WoW is typically the one associated with the Hallow’s End event. It functions as a mount, albeit temporary, and is a unique experience.

Hallow’s End Brooms: Temporary Aerial Fun

The Flying Broom and Magic Broom Mounts

During the annual Hallow’s End event, which typically runs for a couple of weeks around Halloween, players have the chance to obtain temporary flying broom mounts. These mounts, the Flying Broom and Magic Broom, are available only during the event period, adding to their seasonal charm and collectibility.

• Flying Broom: This broom is dropped from the Loot-Filled Pumpkin you get from killing the Headless Horseman daily. The Headless Horseman is a level-appropriate boss encountered in a special dungeon instance accessible during Hallow’s End. To participate, you’ll need to queue for the Headless Horseman encounter through the Dungeon Finder. After defeating him, you’ll receive a Loot-Filled Pumpkin, which has a chance to contain the Flying Broom. Keep in mind that this broom is usable only during the Hallow’s End event each year!
• Magic Broom: The Magic Broom is dropped from the Crudely Wrapped Gift obtained from completing the daily quest “Let the Fires Come!” or “Stop the Fires!” This quest involves extinguishing (or igniting!) fires in various towns, depending on your faction. Similar to the Flying Broom, the Magic Broom is only usable during the Hallow’s End event.

The Enchanted Broom Pet

If you’re looking for a more permanent broom companion, the Enchanted Broom is a non-combat pet that you can acquire.

• How to Obtain: The Enchanted Broom is sold by a Quartermaster at the Argent Tournament, located in Icecrown, Northrend.
• Cost: You’ll need 40 Champion’s Seals to purchase the pet.
• Earning Champion’s Seals: These seals are earned by completing daily quests at the Argent Tournament. The Argent Tournament is a hub for daily quests, and you’ll need to complete a series of quests to become a Champion of your faction and unlock the relevant daily quests to earn the seals.

Other Brooms in the World of Warcraft Universe

While not related to WoW, the mention of “5000 broom” and “Aeromancer Broom” refers to the game Hogwarts Legacy.
