10 Mounts You Can Get In an Hour or Less Solo
Are you on the lookout for new mounts to add to your collection? Look no further! In this guide, I will walk you through ten mounts that you can obtain in an hour or less, all on your own. These mounts are rare and unique, making them an exciting addition to any mount enthusiast's arsenal. So, without further ado, let's dive into the world of mount collecting!
1. Slime Serpent 🐍
The Slime Serpent is the perfect mount for those looking for a straightforward and easily obtainable mount. To get this mount, you'll need to solo the Plague Fall dungeon in Maldraxxus, located in the Shadowlands. The dungeon can be completed on either Heroic or Mythic difficulty, so you have options depending on your gear and level.
To acquire the Slime Serpent, you'll need to kill all four bosses in the dungeon and then head towards the upper section. There, you'll find the Slime Serpent on the left-hand side. Simply click on it, and the mount will be added directly to your collection. No need to worry about obtaining an item—it's that easy!
2. Domesticated Razorback 🐷
If you're looking for a mount that also grants an exalted reputation, the Domesticated Razorback from Warlords of Draenor is perfect for you. This mount requires you to reach exalted reputation with the Steamwheedle Preservation Society, an achievement that can be obtained relatively quickly.
To start working towards this mount, you'll need to head to Warlords of Draenor and gain access to Draenor. Once there, make your way to Nagrand and head towards the backside of Blackrock Foundry. Once you've arrived at the uninstanced version of Highmaul, start killing ogres, prioritizing the elite ogres to maximize reputation gains.
In just a short farming session, you should be able to collect enough Highmaul Relics and Gorian Artifact Fragments to hand in for over 10,000 reputation points. You'll need 42,000 reputation points in total to reach exalted, which means you can easily achieve this goal within a couple of farming sessions. Once you've reached exalted, you'll need 5,000 gold and 5,000 Apexis Crystals to purchase the mount.
3. Steamwheedle Preservation Society 🌊
While working towards the Domesticated Razorback, you'll also have the opportunity to gain reputation with the Steamwheedle Preservation Society. This reputation grind is surprisingly quick and can be completed alongside your farming for Highmaul Relics and Gorian Artifact Fragments.
To gain reputation with the Steamwheedle Preservation Society, head to Warlords of Draenor's Tanaan Jungle. Complete the daily quests available in the area, as they offer a significant amount of reputation points. If you haven't unlocked Tanaan Jungle yet, consider killing Doom Lord Kazzak, a rare spawn located in the area. Killing him will reward you with 1,000 Apexis Crystals, which can be used to purchase the mount once you reach exalted.
An alternate option is to complete Garrison assaults if you have a level 2 or level 3 Garrison. These events can be completed within a few minutes and award 800 Apexis Crystals. Additionally, killing elite mobs in Tanaan Jungle will grant you 10-20 Apexis Crystals per kill.
4. Colossal Ebon Claw 🦞
For players who have already unlocked Torghast in Shadowlands, the Colossal Ebon Claw is an easily obtainable mount. This mount can be obtained by running Torgast on higher layers and defeating the final boss.
To obtain the mount, head inside Torgast and enter the Jailer's Gauntlet on the right-hand side. Choose a layer to start your run. As a level 70 character with decent gear, you should have no problem clearing the mobs and completing the floors. Keep progressing through the layers until you reach the final floor.
Once you defeat the final floor boss, the mount will be added directly to your collection. Take advantage of your class's abilities and talents to ensure a smooth run through Torgast.
5. Magma Shell 🐚
The Magma Shell is a relatively easy mount to obtain. To acquire this mount, you'll need to get your hands on an Empty Magma Shell. There are two ways to obtain this item: either purchase it from the auction house or farm it from lava snails, slugs, and slopers located in the Waking Shores.
Once you have the Empty Magma Shell, find Zon-Wagi in the Free Falls Lookout in Azshara. Hand over the meat item, and Zon-Wagi will give you the Magma Shell mount. If you don't have much luck farming the meat, remember that you can always find it on the auction house for a reasonable price.
6. Swift Gloomhoof 🦌
The Swift Gloomhoof is a stunning mount that you can obtain in just 40-50 minutes. To acquire this mount, you'll need to collect 50 Anima Shards in Bastion. These shards can be found all over the zone, including inside dungeons.
To make your search for Anima Shards easier, consider installing the HandyNotes shadowlands plugin, which marks all the shard locations on your map. Alternatively, you can use the TomTom add-on with the coordinates provided in the video description. With these tools, you'll be able to quickly locate and collect the shards.
Once you have collected all 50 Anima Shards, head to Forge Light in Bastion to have them crafted into the Mallet of Heralds. Use the mallet at the bell in the Citadel of Loyalty, and the Swift Gloomhoof will become available for you to collect.
7. Rusted Proto-Drake and Ironbound Proto-Drake 🥇
The Rusted Proto-Drake and Ironbound Proto-Drake are two incredible mounts that can be obtained through the Glory of the Ulduar Raider achievement. This achievement requires you to complete various tasks within the Ulduar raid in a specific way.
Most of the achievements for this mount involve boss kills with specific conditions. Some examples include killing Flame Leviathan within four minutes, killing XT-002 Deconstructor without allowing any heart bombs to explode, and killing Yogg-Saron after defeating all four keepers. While some of these achievements may require a bit of strategy and coordination, they can be completed relatively quickly.
Once you have completed all the required achievements, the Rusted Proto-Drake and Ironbound Proto-Drake will be added to your mount collection.
8. Aerial Unit R-21X ✈️
The Aerial Unit R-21X mount is a rare drop from the Mechagon dungeon on Mythic difficulty. Soloing this dungeon will grant you a 20% chance of obtaining the mount, but bringing a full group will increase your chances to 100%. Note that if you choose to solo it, it may take multiple attempts before the mount drops.
To obtain the mount, complete the Mechagon dungeon on Mythic difficulty, following the specific achievement criteria. One achievement to focus on is "Keep DPS-ing and Nobody Explodes," which requires you to defeat the first few bosses while the oppression unit is flying above.
Once you have defeated the final boss, you'll have a chance to obtain the Aerial Unit R-21X mount. With some luck and perseverance, this mount can be yours in no time.
9. Steamwheedle Preservation Society 🏴☠️
While farming for the Domesticated Razorback, you'll also have the opportunity to gain reputation with the Steamwheedle Preservation Society. Completing their daily quests in Warlords of Draenor's Tanaan Jungle can quickly increase your reputation with this faction.
The Steamwheedle Preservation Society offers various reputation rewards, including pets, toys, and mounts. By participating in the daily quests, killing rare mobs, and looting caches, you'll be able to collect reputation badges. These badges can be exchanged for mounts, including the Deathtusk Felboar and the Domesticated Razorback.
Make sure to utilize all the reputation-boosting methods available, such as completing Garrison assaults, to speed up your reputation gains.
