Chasing Glory (and a Classy Mount): Your Guide to Legion’s Finest Steeds
You want a Legion class mount? Good choice! These mounts are impressive. Picture winged demons and majestic beasts – nothing like old ponies. Before you imagine flying on your class-themed mount, let’s answer the big question: how long will this take?
Hold on tight. It’s not a quick trip to a stable. Getting a Legion class mount requires questing, achievement hunting, and some patience. Think of it as a quest, but with demons and fewer selfies.
The Trifecta of Triumph: Requirements for Your Class Mount
To start your journey for a glorious class mount, you must complete three requirements. This is your pre-flight checklist for your mount-collecting adventure.
- “A Glorious Campaign” Achievement: This achievement shows your commitment to your class hall. Finish the Class Hall campaign first. Consider it your class’s version of a long “bring your kid to work day” over multiple quests.
- “Breaching the Tomb” Achievement: Next, prove yourself on the Broken Shore. Thankfully, this achievement is account-wide. Complete it once on any character, and all your alts can benefit. Think of it as an account-wide ‘get out of jail free’ card for alt lovers.
- Class Mount Questline: Finally, the unique questline. Each class has its own questline tied to their mount. Mages see “Avocation of Antonidas.” These quests have thematic elements specific to your class.
So, to recap: Class Hall campaign? Check. Broken Shore achievement? Check. Class-specific questline? Check, check, check! You’re almost ready to show off your new mount.
“Breaching the Tomb”: One and Done (Thank Goodness)
Let’s explore “Breaching the Tomb” more. It’s essential for your mount quest. The good news? You only need to complete it once per account. Just one character needs to face the Broken Shore trials, making all characters eligible for their class mounts.
But don’t assume you can skip things on all characters. Each one must complete its Class Hall campaign, finish specific quests, and recruit their final order hall champion. Think of “Breaching the Tomb” as unlocking a door – you still must enter each room.
Class by Class: A Quick Mount Acquisition Guide
The main requirements are the same across all classes. Yet, there are class-specific starting points to know. Here’s a breakdown for some popular classes:
- Shaman: Feel the elemental call? For shamans, return to Legion Dalaran. Access your Class Hall and begin your campaign if you have not already.
- Druid: Nature calls you to a cooler form! Druids need to wrap up their Class Hall campaign. Once “A Glorious Campaign” is complete, dive into “Breaching the Tomb.” Prepare to grow serious wings or antlers based on your chosen druid flavor.
- Hunter: Ready to tame an ultimate beast? Hunters need to finish their Class Hall campaign and overcome “Breaching the Tomb.” Afterward, find Nimi Brightcastle at Deliverance Point. Seek a Golden Letter to start the “Night of the Wilds” quest chain that leads to your mount.
- Mage: Arcane power at your fingertips? Mages follow the classic trifecta: “A Glorious Campaign,” “Breaching the Tomb,” and the “Avocation of Antonidas” questline. Antonidas is crucial to unlocking your magical mount.
Key Quests and Achievements Along the Way
Navigating the Broken Shore and Class Hall campaigns can feel like wandering a magical maze. Here are a few quests and achievements you’ll encounter during your mount-collecting journey:
- Armies of Legionfall: This is your Broken Shore entrance ticket. Accept it by logging in (it might pop up automatically) or check your Adventure Journal for “The Broken Shore.” Head to Krasus’ Landing in Dalaran (coords 66.24, 42.04) and chat with Khadgar. Follow his prompts to start your Broken Shore adventure.
- Recruiting Legionfall Champion: Once you engage with the Legionfall campaign, you’ll receive this quest. Return to your Class Hall and speak with your advisor (usually near the Scouting Map). They will guide you on recruiting your Legionfall champion, essential for campaign progress.
Legion Assaults: Timed Opportunities on the Broken Shore
Watch for Legion Assaults on the Broken Shore. These timed events are vital for progressing in “Breaching the Tomb” and boosting your progress. They appear about every 18 hours, typically on the hour or half-hour. Participating in these assaults helps gather resources and advance achievements.
The Time Investment: Patience is a Virtue (and Necessary)
Now, let’s revisit the critical question: how long will this all take? Honestly, it depends on how efficiently you play and how much daily time you spend. The Class Hall campaign and “Breaching the Tomb” are not instant wins. Consider multiple quest chains, scenarios, and potential wait times. If starting fresh, anticipate spending a few days, maybe a week or two, to complete everything.
But think of the bragging rights! Plus, a cool mount awaits you at the finish line. Take a deep breath, embrace the grind, and prepare to soar through the skies stylishly. Your Legion class mount is calling – go claim it!
