Yea rarity is a combination of: how hard it is to obtain and how good the mount is. If it's an ugly mount that takes many hours of questing/grinding or a lot of money, people aren't going to want to bother. The MOP world boss mounts are rare just because of low low low drop rate, but now they're much easier to get and will be less rare soon. Which is great, because the previous drop rate was disgusting.
@@Wft-bu5zc ya lol. heavenly onyx was widely viewed as the most thought after and rarest drop rate mount in the game. That said, I view the raid boss (usually 1%) with the addition of those 0.5% cata dungeon drop mounts, blue/green proto drake etc as traditional mount collecting. Usually they're rare enough to be quite presteigious, tedious to farm, and they genearlly all look badass. (ashes, invincible, pureblood, storm drakes, hell fire reaver etc). Most of my fav mounts span from Wrath to MOP with rare exceptions outside in WOD and Leigion. Oh, and TBC had raven lord and ashes of alar.
Well it’s also just that the newer expansions haven’t been around as long for people to collect the mounts. For example during WoD I’m sure Pandaria mounts were much rarer than they are today.
I liked it but only because you could get like 20 mounts from it. The actual acquisition of those mounts was quite painful but I like collecting as many mounts as possible, but that's just me. The vast majority of people don't play that way.
To be fair, some of these mounts were a royal PITA to craft. Two of them require a rare drop from Lihuvium in Sepulcher, or turbo RNG from Olea caches. The black recolors all require a raid to do an achievement on trash in Skolex/Artificer's area - for EACH mount. And the wasp and spider lattices are not fun to farm either.
@@luminusprime Wait, something in the Shadowlands content was a soul destroying grind? I'm shocked, shocked! ...well, not that shocked. I didn't even know the protoforms existed until I saw this video, because Torghast runs broke me early on in the expansion. I came back and did just enough before Dragonflight to unlock flying in Shadowlands. And I'm loving Dragonflight. Alt friendly, minimal time-gating, meaningful crafting system. And dragonriding made gathering more fun and fair for non-Druids. I've already played Dragonflight for longer than I did Shadowlands. What a difference.
Small correction for the grey riding camel (number 73): even though the zone is stated as Feralas, you get transported to the boss from Uldum where you do all activities to get to the boss (finding camel figurine). Game just doesn't want to let you know where the boss actually is.
Some of these mounts are so rare solely because players aren't interested enough to spend gold or time farming them. Some of the purchable ones have ridiculous price tags and the rare mobs that drop these have incredibly long spawn timers & drop chances. Silent Glider for example is just a darker color variant of a mount that you can buy pretty cheap from Nazjatar. I have never come across the mob that drops it, since the timer is so long, and drop chance is under 1%. I've seen someone with this mount and truly consider them a lottery winner 🏆
@@rieiid5867 They more so meant that they arent worth the hard grind. They don't look that appealing to waste that much time effort or gold on therefore a lot on the mounts in the top 100 list are just shit mounts no one wants therefore that why its rare.
Love the idea and the format of this. Would love to see a list with all the shadowlands mounts excluded as this list is jam packed with mounts from shadowlands 😔
I feel like at this point the game has become so barren, and mounts are released so frequently that some of these mounts are considered "rare" based on the fact that less people are playing the game, or nobody actually wants to farm them because they are undesireable lol.
@@joeyhollom489 LOL you're delusional, also a spike when they drop an expansion is expected.. there are still a ton of easily fooled vagrants that pop in for a week or two then fk back off
I'm of the opinion that Nalak and Rukhmar are rarer mounts simply because they spawn mid-air and people give up when they cant get a tag and get annoyed. They really need spawns changed to just be on the ground or platform to allow more people to get tags on them before they just get nuked down by ranged attacks, and just less frustrating to camp/farm
I agree, although Nalak makes up for the short spawn timer. Blizz changed Sha of Anger to die after 2 seconds, so it doesn't die so quick, but that's ridiculously small time still. You need to target & shoot at the boss quick, so I've missed that a few times, as many others, even though Sha is on the ground. Like, why didn't they make it 5 seconds instead?? Back in the day these bosses were up for several seconds so lots of people had time to react
Very, very surprised that Desire's Battle Gargon is my rarest mount lol. I really like the gargons and that color scheme was my favorite so I made sure to get it. For anyone that is curious it's not hard to get. You invite the countess to the parties until you are best friend reputation with her, then invite her once more beyond that and if she ends the party in an elated mood the mount will be in her chest she leaves for you. I only was able to get one saddle for the protoform synthesis and that was from an olea cache and I need some schematics from the raid too. I made sure to get all the spiders and wasps since I genuinely like those mounts a lot. Don't even want to think about how much farming it will take to get all the protoform pets lol.
protoform synthesis taking up a quarter of this list isnt surprising i did the math and you need over 10k of the motes just for all the mounts not counting any of the other stuff im surprised jaina elemental didnt make it since you cant solo her at current time
surprising how few players actually bothered to level a Dark Iron, i guess i gotta factor in that there are horde players that wont even bother playing an alliance race, and vice versa. being neutral i play any and all races.
Same - and I agree with your reasoning. I play horde mainly and even though I love the dark iron from an aesthetical pov I just haven't had the time to level one up for the mount
Such a bummer to see Heavenly Onyx so low at 24, always felt v lucky to have it haha But it makes sense. Aiming to get the Ivory Hawk soon but I gotta say I'm def NOT looking forward to the whole process. Great vid!
I have the freaking mount from 12 place doing the campaign and it's somehow rarer than heavenly oynx lol. goes to prove how no one played shadowlands. Before the recent drop changes heavenly onyx was probably widely viewed as the rarest drop mount in game.
God the camel. (Lil story if you are interested in reading) I remember I was new in this game, think it was late cata or early MoP, and I was still with my ex. He used to kind of shit on me for not having this and that mount, literally bully. And when one day I flew over a golden looking little statue, I clicked on it and said "Oh! I got a camel mount! Maybe you have this one?" (Honestly I didnt know much about mounts and stuff.) and he goes dead quiet for a little moment and says "no" so I, finally found an oppurtunity to give him a taste his own medicine, but that was not fun for him. He actually made me cry and call up blizz to ask them to delete the mount. Honestly his words and his actions were so cruel, that I am struggling today, but dont worry! I am slowly recovering! Luckly Blizzard didn't delete it, instead Blizzard used their time to comfort me, until I got in a better mood. That's when I fell in love with the game, their kindess made me stay forever. If he didnt force me to call them, I'd probably still be stuck with him today. Thanks blizzard, for helping me out from the abusive relationship instead of helping the camel out from my mount bag. 😂
I didn't know my Ivory hawkstrider was so rare. That was such a fun one to earn at the end of legion.. camping out at Warden towers as a mythic geared frost mage, server hopping and surprising fellow horde players. Their rage whispers and cries of 'I'm reporting you for hacking ' still make me smile every time I mount up.
@@deedgeYT Yeah it was a heck of a grind that took months... and at content BEFORE flying was a thing you could do in Legion... because I wanted a modest-looking white hawkstrider for my priest RP. I still have moments where I reminisce running around Operation: Murloc Freedom or using that World Quest Group Finder addon groups to hop to PvP realms in the Falcosaur areas with full world buffs, Prydaz and the Feign Death hunter leggo for those tokens. It's almost sad how often I pull it out in a mount-off and have the one from Magister's terrace pulled out. Often several full seconds before they realize it's not the same mount.
Same with the Talon's Vengeance hawkstrider. It's very easy to farm the rep if you do PvP, but the mount is very ugly and PvP players don't usually collect mounts, so not a lot of people have it
Obtaining the Spirehawk was one insane story... I'll spare you it.... However it blows my mind it was one of the most rare mounts in the game and communblizzism upped the drop rate to 5%+ from 0.02%.... Unreal... Got that bitch on my first kill tho at 0.02% XD
i'm only missing the blazing drake for the emerald drake achievement. god what i wouldn't give for a dragon soul skip. no surprise that most of these mounts are from shadowlands though. what a hopeless, unfun grind of an expansion.
All the shadowlands mounts that are considered rare is bc everybody hates shadowlands and doesn’t want to mess with anything out there bc it’s such a long process and you can’t fly til you get from A to Zereth. I still haven’t unlocked flying out there I got the covenant mounts n left lol.
My rarest mount on this list was #10 with a handful of others throughout the list. I’m still salty that I got the Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent recently yet I’m still farming Invincible every week Update: I now have the Thundering Cobalt Cloudserpent AND Invincible. Dreams do come true.
that's the case with quite a few mounts actually - even though they have low drop chances if they are really cool and have been out for a while they've just been farmed to oblivion
@@deedgeYT I see it now, for some reason WoWhead isn't linking things correctly for that one. I never saw anything about them adding it either, very odd.
@@Kierracobb500 i liked bfa, except the last patch, that patch can just go to hell, especially with that n'zoth cinematic, but people are forgetting that bfa had some good stuff, i had so much fun in mechagon and nazjatar
@@levv7258 god don't give me flashbacks 😭😭 I honestly really didn't like any of the content from BFA, I just thought it was boring, except for the begging where the world tree was being burned down and such. That was pretty cool :]
@coreyoz they have changed it originally it only dropped from mecha torque then they changed it to Jania then after the raid wasn't current the made it so they both drop it. But for a bit it was 100% only mech then only jania
@Kakemannenkakesen I never said it was a 100% drop rate. I said it used to drop only from mecha torque on all difficulties then they changed it. And this fact cause I had it drop from mechatorque on normal on the second week of the raid being live.
I'm a proud owner of the Ivory Hawkstrider, probably the longest most difficult grind I have EVER done. Until I got the feather that allowed collecting rep in BGs I had to ask my friends to log in while they were busy just so they could AFK and I could farm them for rep lol. It literally took me years bc I'm not a PvPer.
If you’re querying the way I think you’re querying, by looking at straight population reports, your logic may be flawed in the sense that the data is not very useful or relevant. For example if people prefer one color of faction mount over others, your report makes it look “rarer” where ass all the faction mounts are equally easy to get. Then you mix in this popularity factor with actually difficult to get mounts and now the data becomes irrelevant.
Some weird differences too... like the Hellfire Infernal and the Felblaze Infernal, both drop from the same boss - in fact, Felblaze can drop from any difficulty, but Hellfire only drops from Mythic. I feel this video is more of a proof of how nobody gave a shit about mounts from SL. Ivory Hawkstrider is obtainable in theory.
The title is very misleading. Giving the reasoning that not many people in the game have said mount, doesn't mean that it's a rare mount, it just means that nobody really cares about obtaining said mounts such as the protoform synthesis construction or purchased mounts which are not even drops. It was interesting to see where the population of WoW is in the progression of collected mounts.
I disagree - I think when you look at rare mounts the traditional understanding is something is rare if very few people have it. There are a lot of mounts that have a low drop chance (like invincible, ashes of alar, etc.) which are commonly thought of as rare, but they are actually quite common. Mounts like this are desirable and have just been farmed to death over the years which really tanks their rarity. Regardless though if I looked at rarity through a different lens, ie mounts with a low drop chance = rare, it would make comparisons incredibly difficult. There are a variety of rare mounts on this list that are acquired through other means like achievements, honor levels, etc, and the only way to gauge all of the mounts against each other in an objective way would be to do it based on how many people have collected them. For achievement mounts specifically there's no other way to rank them, the number of people who have the achievement is the same as the number of people who have the mount. I can't really gauge them on difficulty with certainty because something that's difficult in my opinion may be not as difficult from another pov. For example, it wouldn't make sense to to try and rank something like invincible (which has been collected by tons of people at this point) vs something like the honor level 500 mount (which has been earned by very few people relatively) based on how they were acquired. Would the low drop chance of invincible be ranked lower or higher than the honor level 500 mount in that case? Is a mount with a 0.5% drop chance that has been collected by 300k+ players more or less rare than a mount that has been earned by 7500 players via the honor system? See how that's an incredibly slipper slope and we're starting to get into more of a subjective territory? The only common ground these mounts have really is how many people have collected them - so I believe that that's the best objective stat to measure them by.
Nah it's mainly because the mounts weren't as cool and it's a pretty recent expansion. No one played WoD either by comparison but those mounts are awesome so people actually want to farm them. Plus they have been out for a while so people have had plenty of time to get them, despite WoD's low player count at the time.
I omitted it with the idea of it being a bit of an edge case as it's only obtainable by a single class. But in hindsight that logic was a bit hypocritical as I also included grimhowl which is only obtainable by a single allied race. Nice catch - my mistake.
11:04 Min.: I was at my way to blanchy champing and saw many players at the spawn at famu. So i wait and ask my self: Gave here it somthing for free? (I never killed the rare befor and i not know about the mount) So i saw then the rare spawning and killing it and frist try i got it XD Throught me: LUL! Ok this explains it wants the player wants here! XD
So many of these that I have spent such insane amounts of time trying to get and never succeeded. Surprised to see how many people have some of my personal white whales!
I'm convinced these shadowlands mounts are so rare because people were too exhausted to get them. I know I was. I completely ignored the protoform synthesis stuff and burnt out of anything that wasn't my first covenant.
A note, that in order to get Kua'fon, you also need to get a Pterrodax Egg to drop, which starts the questline to raise Kua'fon from hatchling to mount. The egg itself has a sub 1% drop rate from pterrodax mobs in Zuldazar and Nazmir. Then, you have to do roughly 30 days of dailies, similar to the Venomhide Ravasaur or Winterspring Frostsaber back in Classic.
@DerwinIRL a guildie paid somebody to share it, then shared it with me the day before they fixed it. I started the quest to get it out if my log but it took a while to finish it just to realize it couldn't fly. When they added the part if the quest to let it fly I started working on it asap. My little guy was all grown up lol.
Grimhowl isn't just the Dark Iron unlocking mount, that's a single headed core hound. To get Grimhowl you need to level a Dark Iron to I believe fifty but might be sixty, then you have access to a quest chain started from Moira in the embassy that unlocks the doggo and some cool weapon transmogs.
about 99% of this are undesirable mounts. Blizzard needs more ash of alar or black serpent dragon. people are still farming them because thee rare but also look awsome.
@@melanielittle8063 to you maybe but it's one of the most farm mounts with sha of anger. The point is they need to give us a mount we want to farm and look awsome. I'm 700 kills and no fire hawk and it looks awsome I want it.
My Human Hunter stays on Zereth Mortis to farm for Protoform Synthesis. The problem with that system is it takes a lot to unlock, you also have to get the schematics and once you get them many require mats and the primary mat drops so little compared to how much you need for one mount. That's likely why so many of them are rare. I still only have four Protoform Synthesis mounts, including the one it basically gives you. The MoP world boss mounts are sad to see on this list because they're so old and we all know how many people are farming them every week because they're crowding the boss area right along with us.
I actually own the Solar Spirehawk and Ivory Hawkstrider! The Solar Spirehawk I got way before the drop chance was increased, on the very first time I killed Rukhmar. The Ivory Hawkstrider took days of farming, and it is something I would not like to do again.
Shadowlands really ruined this list. 90% of it is just oversaturated bullshit from that expansion and the prototype synthesis nonsense. They're not rare it's just no one gives o gave a shit about them
In all fairness a good portion of the SL mounts are actually very difficult to obtain, like the mythic raid mounts or the meta achievement ones. Minus the protoform synthesis ones. Would you be interested in seeing a revised list that does not include any SL mounts?
@@deedgeYT No no sorry it came off like I didn't like the video I enjoyed it very much my irritation was intended towards shadowlands and how prototype synthesis for me at least ruins the novelty of rare mounts. Your list is fine :)
The low owner rate on certain mounts in shadowlands proves how unpopular shadowlands was. Though, if you just play it you'll get a LOT of pets and mounts on accident. If you care about these things.
I thought that was the case as well but after going through the data I found that just a lower player count alone wasn't the sole reason. There was a lower player count for sure, but a non-significant factor is that SL was the most recent expansion (minus DF). When going through everything I noticed that most of the mounts from DF were incredibly rare. I'm talking like they dominated the top 30 or so, despite being extremely easy to acquire (a decent portion of those being way easier than the protoform synthesis for example). Even now some of the ottuks from the tuskarr in DF are owned by less players than some of the higher honor level pvp mounts. WoW was for sure down bad during SL but I think it's also worth noting that the data shows a strong correlation between time and rarity. In addition, a lot of the SL mounts weren't really that cool. Take WoD for example. It had a really low player count as well but the mounts looked awesome and they are quite desirable. As such (coupled with the fact that WoD has been out for a while), they aren't that rare.
i like how most of these arent even that rare and just are because so few people played bfa/shadowlands lol
Ye, it's kinda sad and funny, how BFA and Shadowlands were over-fucking-loaded with must-do crappy mechanics and boring activities.
Yea rarity is a combination of: how hard it is to obtain and how good the mount is. If it's an ugly mount that takes many hours of questing/grinding or a lot of money, people aren't going to want to bother. The MOP world boss mounts are rare just because of low low low drop rate, but now they're much easier to get and will be less rare soon. Which is great, because the previous drop rate was disgusting.
So many of the Shadowlands mounts are utter low effort trash, no wonder no one bothered farming them

i'm only missing the blazing drake for the emerald drake achievement. god what i wouldn't give for a dragon soul skip. no surprise that most of these mounts are from shadowlands though. what a hopeless, unfun grind of an expansion.
All the shadowlands mounts that are considered rare is bc everybody hates shadowlands and doesn’t want to mess with anything out there bc it’s such a long process and you can’t fly til you get from A to Zereth. I still haven’t unlocked flying out there I got the covenant mounts n left lol.
Is there a full list? I know Swift Zhevra was rare back in the day, but it didn't even make the top 100.
Now i want to know which ones i have without typing all of them
Whhhaaay I’m 4 honor levels from 500. Let’s gooo
LETS GO DUDE
ayyyye i have the conqueror’s scythemaw, i played so much wpvp during bfa. i could not do it today. it was peak covid
wheres the one from the pin, 3 heads, gold?
My rarest mount on this list was #10 with a handful of others throughout the list. I’m still salty that I got the Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent recently yet I’m still farming Invincible every week
Update: I now have the Thundering Cobalt Cloudserpent AND Invincible. Dreams do come true.
I would have expected Death charger's Reins to be the #1 rarest mount, because it's drop rate is less than 1% and it wasn't even on this list Oo
that's the case with quite a few mounts actually - even though they have low drop chances if they are really cool and have been out for a while they've just been farmed to oblivion
So many mounts have less than 1% drop rates 😅 it's intimidating
Just went on WoWhead, there is no Grimhowl mount, just some random mob in BRD. The dark iron racial mount is the Dark Iron Core Hound.
Try this one: www.wowhead.com/item=191123/grimhowls-face-axe
@@deedgeYT I see it now, for some reason WoWhead isn't linking things correctly for that one. I never saw anything about them adding it either, very odd.
3:36 Min.: I have EVERY of the Races unlocked so i also have this once ^^
No, you have to unlackiert it separately with a high lvl dark iron dwarf. Just like the weapons.
Not surprised that most of these mounts are from shadowlands, the most hated expansion 🤣
Did you miss BFA 😭
@@Kierracobb500 i liked bfa, except the last patch, that patch can just go to hell, especially with that n'zoth cinematic, but people are forgetting that bfa had some good stuff, i had so much fun in mechagon and nazjatar
@@levv7258 god don't give me flashbacks 😭😭 I honestly really didn't like any of the content from BFA, I just thought it was boring, except for the begging where the world tree was being burned down and such. That was pretty cool :]
Could do a top 100 least rare mount list ahaha.
I was excited to see I have a few of them, but I was most excited to see I have #1 on your list.
What's the name of the mount from the thumbnail?
I don’t think it’s a mount
I have G.M.O.D got it in the first few weeks of dazaralor from mecha torque before they changed it to drop from Jaina.
very nice very nice
GMOD still drops from Mech. Jains drops the glacial tidestorm
@coreyoz they have changed it originally it only dropped from mecha torque then they changed it to Jania then after the raid wasn't current the made it so they both drop it. But for a bit it was 100% only mech then only jania
This mount has never been a 100% drop chance and it only drops from jaina on lfr difficulty
@Kakemannenkakesen I never said it was a 100% drop rate. I said it used to drop only from mecha torque on all difficulties then they changed it. And this fact cause I had it drop from mechatorque on normal on the second week of the raid being live.
How rare is the fiery warhorse?
A recurring theme of shadowland mounts because a lot of ppl didn't play that shit of a expansion xD
I'm 5 mounts into this video and im like DAAAAAAAAAMN i dont have those or even knew about them. LOVE UR VIDEO THANKS!
awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it
TFW when none of the mounts on this list are in your journal 😢
I'm a proud owner of the Ivory Hawkstrider, probably the longest most difficult grind I have EVER done. Until I got the feather that allowed collecting rep in BGs I had to ask my friends to log in while they were busy just so they could AFK and I could farm them for rep lol. It literally took me years bc I'm not a PvPer.
me as a level 27 priest who just started
"interesting."
lmao mount farming is one of the coolest parts of the game imo - and welcome to WoW!
If you’re querying the way I think you’re querying, by looking at straight population reports, your logic may be flawed in the sense that the data is not very useful or relevant. For example if people prefer one color of faction mount over others, your report makes it look “rarer” where ass all the faction mounts are equally easy to get. Then you mix in this popularity factor with actually difficult to get mounts and now the data becomes irrelevant.
No scarab lord mount???
Rip Swift Spectral Tiger
A lot of them are just grinding, surprised they're so rare.
Some weird differences too... like the Hellfire Infernal and the Felblaze Infernal, both drop from the same boss - in fact, Felblaze can drop from any difficulty, but Hellfire only drops from Mythic.
I feel this video is more of a proof of how nobody gave a shit about mounts from SL.
Ivory Hawkstrider is obtainable in theory.
no shot the rarest mount in my collection is from PROTOFORM SYNTHESIS!?
the jailer's true plan finally has revealed itself
shocked the glacial tidestorm didnt make the cut
it barely missed the cut
Can you please show all plate sets from classic till wotlk? I'm referring to the sets like the one dropping from dire maul, starting with green level?
Prettyflydrenai has something but it's missing some of them
I'll check it out and see if I can get data for that. Mogs have been requested for an upcoming list so it fits in well!
How rare is the Hive Mind mount? I was surprised I didn’t see that on here!
it's around spot #380 or so
A good chunk of these mounts are from Shadowlands. I can see why they're rare because no one really played SL.
Я думаю у все кто играл в WoW была сотня ездовых животных, а вот эти даже на пиратке увидеть редкость.
i need this in a list form.
Dude, are you an AI? You didn't blink once in this video....
the way i did a little dance every time one of the ones i own comes up on screen
so basically no one ever did protoform synthesis
Worldwide or NA only this list ? I seen a pretty much some of these but ima on EU. Thanks. Anyway funny I have only 1 from this hundred.
the data is primarily skewed towards Americas/EU accounts
You do not blink and way too many cuts. What happened to the days of being able to talk in front of a camera for more than 5 seconds?
nice, i play since 2008 and have Managed to get not a Single one of them. 😅
The title is very misleading. Giving the reasoning that not many people in the game have said mount, doesn't mean that it's a rare mount, it just means that nobody really cares about obtaining said mounts such as the protoform synthesis construction or purchased mounts which are not even drops. It was interesting to see where the population of WoW is in the progression of collected mounts.
I disagree - I think when you look at rare mounts the traditional understanding is something is rare if very few people have it. There are a lot of mounts that have a low drop chance (like invincible, ashes of alar, etc.) which are commonly thought of as rare, but they are actually quite common. Mounts like this are desirable and have just been farmed to death over the years which really tanks their rarity. Regardless though if I looked at rarity through a different lens, ie mounts with a low drop chance = rare, it would make comparisons incredibly difficult. There are a variety of rare mounts on this list that are acquired through other means like achievements, honor levels, etc, and the only way to gauge all of the mounts against each other in an objective way would be to do it based on how many people have collected them. For achievement mounts specifically there's no other way to rank them, the number of people who have the achievement is the same as the number of people who have the mount. I can't really gauge them on difficulty with certainty because something that's difficult in my opinion may be not as difficult from another pov.
For example, it wouldn't make sense to to try and rank something like invincible (which has been collected by tons of people at this point) vs something like the honor level 500 mount (which has been earned by very few people relatively) based on how they were acquired. Would the low drop chance of invincible be ranked lower or higher than the honor level 500 mount in that case? Is a mount with a 0.5% drop chance that has been collected by 300k+ players more or less rare than a mount that has been earned by 7500 players via the honor system? See how that's an incredibly slipper slope and we're starting to get into more of a subjective territory? The only common ground these mounts have really is how many people have collected them - so I believe that that's the best objective stat to measure them by.
Need to play the game again missed alot began with bc ended with legion 😮
ashes of alar, invincible?
So basically nobody played during BFA, and less than nobody played SL. Those that did wouldn't grind or spend gold for such unappealing mounts.
Nah it's mainly because the mounts weren't as cool and it's a pretty recent expansion. No one played WoD either by comparison but those mounts are awesome so people actually want to farm them. Plus they have been out for a while so people have had plenty of time to get them, despite WoD's low player count at the time.
waos I just got the 8. solar spirehawk after 29 tries, so there goes my luck of surviving and accident, I thought😶🌫
Where's the Argent Charger? Its still obtainable and it was at 89 in the last video
I omitted it with the idea of it being a bit of an edge case as it's only obtainable by a single class. But in hindsight that logic was a bit hypocritical as I also included grimhowl which is only obtainable by a single allied race. Nice catch - my mistake.
Great video
thanks man!
I have Thundering cobalt Cloud Serpent (: i got it with my dad
no dragonflight mount is very rare anyway
Tell that to the Cobalt Shalewing 🥺 it had a .009 drop rate by mistake but don't worry they fixed it. It's now a .09% drop rate 😅
@@shadefleur yeah im on 400 attempts
11:04 Min.: I was at my way to blanchy champing and saw many players at the spawn at famu. So i wait and ask my self: Gave here it somthing for free? (I never killed the rare befor and i not know about the mount) So i saw then the rare spawning and killing it and frist try i got it XD Throught me: LUL! Ok this explains it wants the player wants here! XD
Wheres Love Rocket , ?
Just wait for the Trading Post...you will get them all lol
Cool I got #1. Honor level 945
how rare is the rajani warserpent
it's pretty rare - around the 170 mark
i just got the X-45 heartbreaker on the very first run i did of the event WTF
NICE! congrats that's huge
Too many shadowlands mounts. I'm never stepping foot there again
Let’s get a top 100 rare drop mounts.
solid idea!
Have only played for 3-4 years and i got 1 of the 1% mounts :DD
nice! congrats
Now you can get golden mane from AH not rare at all now
have it all only x-45 missing
So many of these that I have spent such insane amounts of time trying to get and never succeeded. Surprised to see how many people have some of my personal white whales!
same - a lot on this list still elude me
I'm convinced these shadowlands mounts are so rare because people were too exhausted to get them. I know I was. I completely ignored the protoform synthesis stuff and burnt out of anything that wasn't my first covenant.
fr. i chose the ascended so i got all their mounts but i have 0 from other covenants.
@@wentaoguan right? Shadow lands was *a lot*
Just got my heavenly onyx cloud serpent yesterday from Mr Sha of anger yesterday. Still can’t believe I got it after 3 years of farming.
Awesome! Congrats
commenting on this to see how angry you are about the ease of access to the mount after MoP remix :x
A note, that in order to get Kua'fon, you also need to get a Pterrodax Egg to drop, which starts the questline to raise Kua'fon from hatchling to mount. The egg itself has a sub 1% drop rate from pterrodax mobs in Zuldazar and Nazmir. Then, you have to do roughly 30 days of dailies, similar to the Venomhide Ravasaur or Winterspring Frostsaber back in Classic.
thank you for supplementing the info - really appreciate it
Yeah, I've got it because when BFA launched the quest from the egg was bugged and it was shareable.
Like, super rare. You gotta have mad luck. I farmed the pterrodax area all day long and wanted to die. It never dropped.
@DerwinIRL a guildie paid somebody to share it, then shared it with me the day before they fixed it. I started the quest to get it out if my log but it took a while to finish it just to realize it couldn't fly. When they added the part if the quest to let it fly I started working on it asap. My little guy was all grown up lol.
Same with the camel which isn't just a drop from a rare in Feralas, first you have to find the statuettes (hard to find and not 100%) in Uldum
Grimhowl isn't just the Dark Iron unlocking mount, that's a single headed core hound. To get Grimhowl you need to level a Dark Iron to I believe fifty but might be sixty, then you have access to a quest chain started from Moira in the embassy that unlocks the doggo and some cool weapon transmogs.
Can you start as a DK to skip some lvls?
Not anymore. DKs start at 8 now, and get to 10 through their start zone, whereas Dark Irons start at 10 with no start zone, as all allied races do.
That makes sense, thank you!
@@cadencenavigator958
about 99% of this are undesirable mounts. Blizzard needs more ash of alar or black serpent dragon. people are still farming them because thee rare but also look awsome.
ashes of alar is just a legendary mount community wise, but yeah i only go after cool mounts, i don't care about prestige unless the mount looks sick.
ashes is the fugliest mount i would rather have these other a few of which i have
@@melanielittle8063 to you maybe but it's one of the most farm mounts with sha of anger. The point is they need to give us a mount we want to farm and look awsome. I'm 700 kills and no fire hawk and it looks awsome I want it.
Couldn’t disagree more.
dunno Hand of Hrestimorak looks amazing
51 of 100! Thanks so much for extending this list!
not a problem!
My Human Hunter stays on Zereth Mortis to farm for Protoform Synthesis. The problem with that system is it takes a lot to unlock, you also have to get the schematics and once you get them many require mats and the primary mat drops so little compared to how much you need for one mount. That's likely why so many of them are rare. I still only have four Protoform Synthesis mounts, including the one it basically gives you.
The MoP world boss mounts are sad to see on this list because they're so old and we all know how many people are farming them every week because they're crowding the boss area right along with us.
I actually own the Solar Spirehawk and Ivory Hawkstrider! The Solar Spirehawk I got way before the drop chance was increased, on the very first time I killed Rukhmar. The Ivory Hawkstrider took days of farming, and it is something I would not like to do again.
Very nice! And I don't blame you at all on the hawkstrider lol it sounds painful to get
After finding these awesome videos, and getting Tusks of Mannaroth to drop, I was wanting a video like this but for items!
Shadowlands really ruined this list. 90% of it is just oversaturated bullshit from that expansion and the prototype synthesis nonsense. They're not rare it's just no one gives o gave a shit about them
In all fairness a good portion of the SL mounts are actually very difficult to obtain, like the mythic raid mounts or the meta achievement ones. Minus the protoform synthesis ones. Would you be interested in seeing a revised list that does not include any SL mounts?
@@deedgeYT No no sorry it came off like I didn't like the video I enjoyed it very much my irritation was intended towards shadowlands and how prototype synthesis for me at least ruins the novelty of rare mounts. Your list is fine :)
The low owner rate on certain mounts in shadowlands proves how unpopular shadowlands was. Though, if you just play it you'll get a LOT of pets and mounts on accident. If you care about these things.
I thought that was the case as well but after going through the data I found that just a lower player count alone wasn't the sole reason. There was a lower player count for sure, but a non-significant factor is that SL was the most recent expansion (minus DF). When going through everything I noticed that most of the mounts from DF were incredibly rare. I'm talking like they dominated the top 30 or so, despite being extremely easy to acquire (a decent portion of those being way easier than the protoform synthesis for example). Even now some of the ottuks from the tuskarr in DF are owned by less players than some of the higher honor level pvp mounts. WoW was for sure down bad during SL but I think it's also worth noting that the data shows a strong correlation between time and rarity. In addition, a lot of the SL mounts weren't really that cool. Take WoD for example. It had a really low player count as well but the mounts looked awesome and they are quite desirable. As such (coupled with the fact that WoD has been out for a while), they aren't that rare.
I really hate farming [Genesis Mote] 😩
i got the shackled urz mount recently after many years and man that feeling was amazing
nice! congrats
