Radiant Echoes: Welcome to The War Within Pre-Patch!

A winder rider and a gryphon mount, hovering on a plain white background. The mounts face each other and are both coloured with an odd aura, being mostly a teal blue with bright golden yellow highlights.

While The War Within pre-expansion event is underway, you can purchase the Remembered Golden Gryphon (for Alliance) and Remembered Wind Rider (for Horde) with Residual Memories. These are a special currency that can be earned through pre-expansion activities - mostly involving slaying memories from Azeroth's past. For more information, see Blizzard's official news post about the event.

The pre-expansion patch also introduces Skyriding (formerly known as Dragonriding) for most flying mounts! We'll add more details about this later, but know that there are only a small number of flying mounts that can't make use of this form of flight. You can easily switch between flight forms using a spell in your mount journal panel (which you can drag to your toolbar for convenience!)

Draconic Blue Owl!

A flying blue owl with draconian slitted blue eyes and backswept horns, big bushy blue eyebrows, and a glowing blue talisman around its neck, ridden by a male demon hunter.

You'll receive the Charming Courier, a handsome owl mount with blue draconian features, for free when you purchase a 6-month or 12-month subscription to World of Warcraft, or if you were already on a 6- or 12-month recurring subscription (with a future renewal date) at the time of the offer. Note that we don't yet know the expiry date of this offer, so please double-check it's still valid before you subscribe! The Charming Courier is also available as a standalone mount purchase in the Blizzard Shop (Americas/EU) if you don't want to commit to a subscription.

The Trading Post ~ July

Left: a purple, carp-like fish mount with green eyes, including a large, central eye. Its riding harness includes a lantern that hangs before it from a pole. Right: a night elf woman riding a large, red vulpin - a fox-like creature with long, pointed ears and glowing yellow eyes.

Two mounts can be purchased from the Trading Post during the month of July: one a new fish, and the other a red vulpin last available during Winter Veil. For 800 Tenders you can purchase the Underlight Corrupted Behemoth - an Old God-inspired fish with gorgeous detailing reminiscent of the Tidesages of Stormsong. Also available is the Crimson Glimmerfur, a sparkly, red vulpin that was also available during Winter Veil last year.

Patch 10.2.7: Dark Heart has begun, with at least 32 new mounts to earn through the WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria event, coming 16 May! This time-limited activity allows players to re-play the entirety of Mists of Pandaria at an accelerated rate from level 10 through 70. Most of the associated mounts can be purchased with 'Bronze' - a new type of currency specfic to this event which can be earned during gameplay. Create your WoW Remix character in the character creation screen of your normal game client.

Celebrating the Year of the Dragon!

A sleek dragon mount standing on the ground. Its skin looks like wood and it has green, leafy branches for antlers or horns. It is ridden by a female night elf in green travelling garb. The blurred background appears to be cherry blossom trees in Pandaria.

You'll receive the Auspicious Arborwyrm, a tree-like dragonriding drake, for free when you purchase a 6-month or 12-month subscription to World of Warcraft, or if you were already on a 6- or 12-month recurring subscription (with a future renewal date) at the time of the offer. Note that we don't yet know the expiry date of this offer, so please double-check it's still valid before you subscribe! The Arborwyrm is also available as a standalone mount purchase in the Blizzard Shop (US/EU) if you don't want to commit to a subscription.

A Golden Gold-Sink

A flying metallic gold scarab beetle mount with yellow-orange wings and green gem studs at its legs joints.

The extravagant Golden Regal Scarab can now be purchased in game - at a cost of 1.2 million gold! You can buy this flyign beetle mount from Ms. Xiulan in The Black Market, Valdrakken (select her 'I am looking for something expensive!' option). After August it is likely it will be removed from regular sale and instead be added to the Black Market Auction House roster of items.
