Patch 11.2 drops 38 new mounts into World of Warcraft, and mount collectors are probably wondering which ones they can get immediately. Good news: seven mounts are available immediately when the patch goes live, plus you can start working toward six more that'll take a few weeks to unlock.
Here's everything you need to know about getting your hands on these new rides.
Mounts You Can Get This Week
Ground Mounts Available Now
Head to Shad'anis, the Phase Diving vendor, and you can buy it for 7 Untethered Coins. You'll get these coins from completing the weekly quest "More Than Just a Phase." Since it's a weekly quest, you can grab this mount as soon as you finish it once.
The Curious Slateback comes from a Wriggling Pinnacle Cache, which you'll get after completing the weekly quest "Ecological Succession." Since it's a cache reward, there's some RNG involved here. You might get lucky on your first try, or it might take a few attempts.
Time to hunt some rares. This mount drops from Urmag, a rare spawn in K'aresh that you can only reach through Phase Diving. Like most rare drops, you'll want to check for spawns regularly and hope RNG is on your side.
Another rare drop, this time from Sthaarbs in K'aresh. Same deal as the Pearlescent Krolusk - Phase Diving access required, and you'll need to farm the rare until it drops.
This mount comes from completing the "Phase-Lost-and-Found" achievement. You'll need to collect all the Phase-Lost weapons from Phase Diving activities in K'aresh. It's more involved than the rare farming, but at least it's guaranteed once you finish the collection.
Flying Mounts You Can Grab
Here's where things get interesting. Blue Barry requires Renown 9 with The K'aresh Trust, then you'll need to complete a four-day quest chain. The quests start in Tazavesh:
- Day 1: "Stealing What is Ours"
- Day 2: "Win-Win Situation"
- Day 3: Pick between "The Wrong Bluecephalus" or "Meat my Business"
- Day 4: Choose "The Grift" or "A Blue for You"
You can start this as soon as you hit Renown 9, making it one of the more reliable week-one mounts if you've been building rep.
The easiest flying mount to get. Just complete the Season 3 Delve introduction quest called "Repossessed!" and you're done. It's a guaranteed reward from a single quest.
Mounts You Can Start Working On
These six mounts aren't available in week one, but you can begin the grind now.
Mount Difficulty & Time Investment
Currency-Based Mounts
Quest Chain Mounts
This comes from the world quest "The Hope of K'aresh," but you need to finish the "Ecological Succession" questline first to unlock it. Same questline that gives you the cache for Curious Slateback, so you'll be working on both simultaneously.
Achievement-Based Mounts
You'll need the "Vigilante" achievement for this flying mount, which means completing all six Warrant quests in K'aresh. Since there's only one Warrant quest per week, you're looking at a minimum six-week timeline.
Farming-Based Mounts
This ground mount requires 20 Devoured Energy-Pods from Devourer Swarm bosses. You can get a maximum of 4 pods per week (one from each possible spawn), so plan on at least five weeks of consistent farming.
Renown Vendor Mounts
Your Week One Game Plan
Start Here
- Jump into the Season 3 Delve intro for your guaranteed Delver's Mana-Skimmer
- Begin "More Than Just a Phase" weekly quest for Untethered Coins
- Start "Ecological Succession" weekly quest for the cache and future world quest access
- Work on K'aresh Trust rep for Blue Barry and vendor unlocks

- Start collecting Phase-Lost weapons for the achievement mount
- Look for Devourer Swarm spawns and grab those Energy-Pods
- Check for available Warrant quests
Currency Decisions
Rep Priority
K'aresh Trust affects multiple mounts, so focus your daily activities there. You need Renown 9 for Blue Barry, Renown 15 for Ruby Void Creeper, and Renown 19 for Terror of the Wastes.
Farming Tips
Phase Diving Rares
Both K'aresh rares spawn randomly, so check multiple times throughout your play sessions. Group up with other players to cover more spawn points and share information.
Weekly Quest Management
Set up a routine for your weekly quests. The Untethered Coin quest and Ecological Succession quest are both crucial for multiple mounts, so don't miss these.
Energy-Pod Collection
Track all four possible Devourer Swarm locations each week. Missing even one spawn extends your timeline by another week.
| Devourer Location | Spawn Window | Pod Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Northern K'aresh | Various Times | 1 Energy-Pod |
| Southern K'aresh | Various Times | 1 Energy-Pod |
| Eastern K'aresh | Various Times | 1 Energy-Pod |
| Western K'aresh | Various Times | 1 Energy-Pod |
Achievement Progress
For Phase-Lost weapons, explore all Phase Diving content systematically. For Warrant quests, they appear weekly, so check K'aresh regularly for new opportunities.
- Seven mounts immediately available
- Clear progression paths established
- Multiple mount types to choose from
- Both guaranteed and RNG-based options
- Heavy time gate requirements
- Multiple currency systems to track
- RNG elements for some mounts
- Requires consistent weekly participation
That covers everything you can tackle in week one. Seven mounts are immediately available if you put in the work, and starting the longer grinds now means you'll be ahead of the curve when those time gates open up. Good luck with your collecting!
