How to Add a Mount in WoW?

With the vast array of majestic mounts available in World of Warcraft, it’s hard not to get excited to ride your favorite steeds across Azeroth and beyond. But, the question remains: how to add a mount in WoW? In this article, we’ll take you through a step-by-step guide to help you unlock the possibilities of mounting up and making your in-game experience an unforgettable one.

Initial Setup

Before we delve into the process of acquiring a mount, it’s essential to ensure that your game is set up correctly for mounts. Here’s how to check:

• Enter the game and navigate to the character selection screen. Ensure that your character selection window has a "Summary" tab.
• Find the "Mounts & Pets" section and activate it by clicking on it.
• You should be able to see a tab labeled "Mounts".
• If the tab is highlighted in yellow, it implies that you have mounts learned but haven’t unlocked a mount yet.

Method 1: Learning to Ride a Mount

This method is the most commonly used approach to acquiring your first mount. Here are the steps:

• Buy a mount from a mounts vendor. You can access mounts vendors by visiting locations like Dalaran City, the Exodar, or the Stormpike Guard in Stormwind and Ironforge.
• To buy a mount, first, ensure that you’re in the correct faction depending on the mount you intend to buy. For instance, Alliance players can obtain mounts from the Stormwind or Ironforge mounts vendor, while Horde players will find them in the Bilgewater Cartel or Kolkar mounts vendor. Bold: Some high-level mounts require a different faction, so be patient and don’t rush with your faction choice.
• Choose your desired mount among the available options. *Note: Some mounts offer unique bonuses or abilities but are often more expensive."
• Speak to the vendors and click on the chosen mount to learn it instantly.
• You’ll require a sufficient amount of available space in your mount catalog to purchase and learn most mounts.

Method 2: Unlocking Advanced Mounts

For additional mounts beyond the initial standard mounts, you’ll have to complete specific quests. Here’s how:

Unlocking Mounts through Reputation

Reputation is not the most straightforward method; however, it’s required for many advanced mounts like the epic mounts. Find the specific reputation vendor representing the desired mount and reward yourself by gaining reputation via various activities, such as completing quests, killing NPC enemies, or participating in group events. Make sure you have the following items: a sufficient skill level, proper faction, mounts catalog space, and rewards for completing quests.

Additional Mount Acquisition Methods:

The following list highlights other in-game activities that can guide you towards acquiring mounts other than learning or buying individual mounts. Note each mount might have unique leveling requirements:

• Earn reputation and rewards through high-level group content, arena, and battlegrounds; for instance, the Wintergrasp Fortress or Ahn’Qiraj raid instance.
• Focus on level 60 grinding for your faction’s various factions and obtain the necessary [Epic Mount Fragment] or [Winged Boot Fragment] with your preferred faction.

• If you have gathered the fragments, you require the highest reputation level along with sufficient mounts catalog.
