What “New Mount Types” Means in Midnight

When players say “new mount types” for Midnight, they usually mean three things:

1) New creature families and silhouettes that feel Midnight-specific.

Midnight leans hard into Quel’Thalas themes (hawkstriders, dragonhawks, phoenix-style trophies) while also adding Void-warped and nature-infused creatures tied to Voidstorm and Harandar. If you’re tired of “another recolor of a wolf,” Midnight’s broader shape variety is a big deal.

2) New movement support (especially skyriding).

A growing chunk of mounts are designed to work cleanly with skyriding, not just “technically can fly.” In practice, that means more mounts you’ll actually use for traversal instead of leaving them as collection trophies.

3) New acquisition lanes that feel like a plan, not a prayer.

Renown mounts (and hunt/delve rewards) are predictable goals: you can measure progress daily and weekly. The most important shift is that your mount collection grows from playing the expansion normally, then optimizing from there.

If you want to build a mount roster fast, the key is knowing which lane you’re farming today: Renown (steady), Hunts/Prey (spiky rewards + cosmetics), Delves (seasonal challenges), and Endgame trophies (rare, high prestige).

Midnight’s Core Mount Currencies

Mount farming lives or dies by currency clarity. Midnight is refreshingly consistent: most vendor-purchased mounts you’ll chase early revolve around a single expansion-wide currency, with a few specialized currencies used by specific systems.

Voidlight Marl (the big one)

This is the expansion-wide currency you’ll see tied to many Renown vendor rewards, including several headline mounts across Midnight’s major factions. Treat it like your “mount savings account”: don’t impulse-spend early if your goal is grabbing multiple mounts quickly.

System currencies (targeted farming)

Some Midnight systems use their own currencies for cosmetics (including mounts). The practical takeaway: when you’re in a Prey mood, farm Prey; when you’re in a Renown mood, farm Renown. Trying to do everything at once usually slows you down.

Carryover mindset (pre-launch collectors)

Before Midnight fully launches, you can still strengthen your mount roster by finishing old vendor lines and stockpiling progress on collection achievements. If your long-term goal is milestone mounts (like high mount-count achievements), every “easy legacy mount” you pick up now pays off later.

Skyriding-Ready Mounts

Skyriding isn’t just a speed perk—it changes which mounts feel “main-mount worthy.” Midnight’s zones and traversal messaging strongly encourage skyriding (especially in open, reimagined landscapes), so it’s smart to prioritize mounts you’ll actually enjoy moving with.

How to think about skyriding mount value

• Daily driver value: If a mount supports skyriding cleanly, you’ll use it constantly while questing, farming rares, and routing world content.
• Time saved: Faster zone traversal means more events, more world quests, and more efficient currency loops.
• Comfort factor: Some mounts feel better visually and spatially in tight areas (cities, hubs, cliffs). Pick a “small profile” skyriding mount for crowded content and a “big flex” mount for open travel.

Examples of skyriding-leaning Midnight mounts you’ll hear players talk about

• Dragonhawk-style flying mounts (multiple Midnight editions feature them)
• Late-track Renown flying mounts (designed to be meaningful upgrades, not novelty)
• Trophy mounts tied to high-difficulty endgame encounters (often tuned as prestige “main mounts”)

Even if you’re a collector, it’s worth choosing one skyriding mount you’ll use constantly and farming toward it early. The rest can be “collection slots” later.

Renown Vendor Mounts: Your Most Reliable Farm

If you want mounts without gambling on drop rates, Renown is the backbone of Midnight mount farming.

Why Renown mounts are the best “first targets”:

• Guaranteed outcome: hit the required Renown, earn the currency, buy the mount.
• Stacks with normal play: campaign quests, zone content, events, and weeklies feed Renown naturally.
• Multiple mount unlocks across factions: you can plan a sequence (first mount by Week 1–2, second by Week 2–4, etc.).
• Warband-friendly mindset: even if a specific mount purchase is character-bound, your overall account progression and efficiency benefits from playing multiple characters intelligently.

A simple rule: Pick one faction to “hard focus” until your first mount purchase, then broaden. Spreading Renown evenly at the start is the most common way people delay their first mount.

Silvermoon Court Mount Track

Silvermoon Court is a natural starting line because it’s positioned as an early major faction in Midnight’s flow—meaning you’ll encounter it quickly and earn progress while you learn the expansion.

Mount highlights commonly tied to Silvermoon Court

• Crimson Silvermoon Hawkstrider (Renown-gated vendor mount, purchased with Voidlight Marl)
• Fiery Dragonhawk (late Renown vendor mount, purchased with Voidlight Marl)

Why this track “feels good” for mount farming

• Clear milestones: one mount arrives mid-track, another near the top end—perfect for players who like stepping-stone goals.
• Theme cohesion: if you love Quel’Thalas visuals, these mounts don’t feel like filler; they feel like core Midnight identity.
• City/hub synergy: you’ll be near Silvermoon City frequently, so checking vendors and weeklies stays convenient.

Practical strategy for faster Silvermoon Court mount progress

• Do the weekly and public event content consistently. Midnight introduces repeatable activities designed to be farmed, and these tend to be your “high value per minute” Renown accelerators.
• Front-load your first two sessions. The biggest Renown momentum is early, when you’re also clearing campaign chapters and unlocking systems.
• Save Voidlight Marl until you’re sure which mount you want first. If your goal is “fast first mount,” aim for the earlier Hawkstrider. If your goal is “one mount I’ll use all expansion,” consider the Dragonhawk as your longer push.

Amani Tribe Mount Track

If Silvermoon Court is your “elegant” mount line, Amani Tribe is your “primal power” line—troll-themed, Loa-influenced, and built for players who like rugged, warlike silhouettes.

Known Amani Renown mount targets

• Amani Blessed Bear (Renown-gated vendor mount, purchased with Voidlight Marl)
• Amani Windcaller (Renown-gated mount, commonly presented as a flying/skyriding-leaning reward, purchased with Voidlight Marl)

Why Amani is a smart second faction

• Two distinct mount vibes: a heavy ground mount and a striking aerial mount give your collection variety fast.
• Zone activity overlap: if you enjoy public events and open-world loops, Zul’Aman’s content flow makes it easy to “accidentally” make progress while doing other goals (gear, professions, cosmetics).
• Motivation factor: Amani mounts are the kind players actually ride in cities—big silhouettes, loud identity.

Fast-start approach for Amani mounts

• Make Amani your “event faction.” If you’re logging in short sessions, focus on whichever repeatable activity is up (public event, weeklies, targeted objectives).
• Plan currency before the Renown cap hits. Hitting the Renown requirement and then realizing you’re short on Voidlight Marl is the classic mistake.
• Keep your route tight. Don’t roam. Do content in a loop and leave when your high-value tasks are done.

Hara’ti Mount Track

Hara’ti (Harandar) is the mount line for players who love nature-mystic aesthetics—fungal jungle energy, bioluminescence vibes, and creatures that look like they belong in a dream-root ecosystem.

Known Hara’ti Renown mount targets

• Fierce Grimlynx (Renown-gated vendor mount, purchased with Voidlight Marl)
• Cerulean Sporeglider (Renown-gated flying mount, purchased with Voidlight Marl)

Why Hara’ti is a collector’s secret weapon

• High uniqueness per hour. Grimlynx and sporeglider silhouettes stand out against typical mount stables. If your collection already has 20 drakes, these feel fresh.
• Natural pairing with gathering. Harandar’s theme naturally overlaps with gathering loops (herbs/skins/zone materials), which makes it easier to justify time spent there.
• Aesthetic flexibility. These mounts look good with a wide range of transmogs—especially nature-leaning, druidic, or arcane-botanical sets.

Efficient Hara’ti progression

• Treat Harandar days as “double-dip days.” Combine Renown tasks with gathering routes and treasure/rare checks.
• Don’t chase everything at once. Harandar can tempt you into wandering. Pick a loop: objectives → event → exit.
• Aim for Grimlynx first. A ground mount you can buy earlier helps you feel progress before you commit to the bigger sporeglider buy.

The Singularity Mount Track

The Singularity’s identity is Void research, cosmic weirdness, and survival in hostile territory. That identity tends to produce mounts that feel sharper, stranger, and more “endgame sci-fantasy” than the classic fantasy lines.

Known Singularity Renown mount targets

• Ravenous Shredclaw (Renown-gated vendor mount, purchased with Voidlight Marl)
• Voidbound Stormray (Renown-gated flying mount, purchased with Voidlight Marl)

Why Singularity mounts are worth your time

• They read as Midnight endgame. If you want mounts that scream “I’ve been in Voidstorm,” this is where you get them.
• Great “contrast mounts.” A Voidbound mount pops visually when your collection leans too heavily into dragons and horses.
• Later-track satisfaction. These feel like rewards that land after you’ve learned the expansion and started optimizing.

How to avoid Singularity frustration

• Don’t start here unless you love the zone. Void-themed zones can be mentally fatiguing for some players. If you bounce off the vibe, you’ll delay your mounts.
• Make it your “weekly push” faction. Do Singularity in one focused session per week rather than a little every day, unless you genuinely enjoy it.

Prey System Mount Farming

Prey is Midnight’s opt-in hunting system: you take a target, continue your normal gameplay, and eventually the hunt finds you (or you find it). The big collector reason to care: Prey explicitly includes mount rewards, with Blizzard calling out mana wyrm-themed mounts among the cosmetics.

Why Prey “hits different” for mount collectors

• It breaks the routine. Renown is steady; Prey is suspenseful.
• It rewards skill escalation. You unlock higher difficulties over time, and harder hunts lean into additional enemy mechanics.
• It layers onto your normal play. You can be questing, gathering, or doing world content while your hunt progresses.

Practical Prey strategy (spoiler-light, results-heavy)

• Start Prey early, but don’t force it. If you’re already in Silvermoon City, pick up a target and let it ride in the background while you do Renown content.
• Use Normal difficulty as your “learning lane.” Normal allows help from other players in the outdoor world, which is perfect when you’re still figuring out your damage profile and survivability.
• Save your “serious” pushes for when you’re geared. Hard and Nightmare add extra enemy mechanics and place more pressure on execution. If your goal is mounts, you want consistent wins, not constant wipe-loops.
• Treat Prey like a weekly habit. Do a few hunts per week rather than grinding until you hate it. The system is designed to be repeatable over a season.

What to expect from Prey rewards

You should approach Prey mounts like “system mounts”: they’re not random world drops in the old sense; they’re rewards tied to engaging with the system and its progression. That means you can build a plan: learn the loop → raise your difficulty comfort → farm cosmetics and mounts efficiently.

Delves and the Seasonal Nemesis Mount

Delves are a major pillar again in Midnight, and the seasonal Nemesis Delve is the collector’s pressure point: it’s where limited-time, skill-check rewards tend to live.

What makes the seasonal Nemesis mount important

• Seasonal urgency: a mount tied to a seasonal challenge creates a “do it now” window.
• Skill identity: it’s a badge that says you can execute, not just grind.
• Clear target: you know what you’re chasing and what you must beat.

The Arcanovoid Construct (Nemesis mount)

One of the most discussed Midnight seasonal rewards is Arcanovoid Construct, commonly presented as a full mount reward tied to defeating the Season 1 Nemesis under specific conditions. If you’re the type who likes having one mount per season that proves you were there and you did the thing, this is the lane.

How to approach Nemesis Delve mount attempts without wasting time

• Build your baseline first. Don’t slam your head into a seasonal solo challenge on Day 1 with messy keybinds and low comfort on your spec.
• Practice the Delve ecosystem. Learn how your companion support interacts with your playstyle and what types of mistakes kill runs.
• Schedule attempts. This is the kind of mount you earn faster with focused sessions (two to three serious attempts) rather than a dozen tilt attempts in one night.
• Upgrade your consistency tools. Consumables, defensive planning, and clean pulls matter more than raw DPS in solo challenge content.

If you only have time for one “high effort” mount goal early in Midnight, the Nemesis mount is a strong candidate—especially if you enjoy solo progression and seasonal prestige.

Raid and Endgame Trophy Mounts

Renown mounts grow your collection. Trophy mounts define it.

Ashes of Belo’ren (prestige phoenix trophy)

Ashes of Belo’ren is widely discussed as a Mythic-difficulty raid trophy tied to March on Quel’Danas. For collectors, it fits the classic “Mythic mount tradition”: the kind you chase for status, visuals, and the memory of a season.

How to farm trophy mounts intelligently

• Decide if you’re a “current content” chaser or a “legacy farmer.”
• Current content: your best odds tend to be while content is relevant and groups are running constantly.
• Legacy: you’ll likely farm later with less stress, but with less predictability.
• Pick your difficulty identity early. If you want a Mythic trophy, set your season goals around joining (or building) a team that can actually do it.
• Don’t sabotage your Renown plan. It’s easy to sink all your time into raid prep and forget that vendor mounts are guaranteed. A balanced collector does both: guaranteed mounts first, trophy attempts second.

Trading Post and Edition Mounts

Not every mount in Midnight is “earned in the field.” A complete collector plan usually accounts for these two external lanes:

Game edition mounts

Midnight’s editions include dragonhawk-style flying mounts, including variants that emphasize Light, Void, or a shifting appearance. These are instant collection power if you’re buying an edition anyway—and they can double as your early “daily driver” skyriding pick.

Trading Post mindset

The Trading Post often becomes a long-term mount drip feed: you don’t “farm it in a day,” you build a habit. If you’re optimizing your account, treat it as:

• monthly check-in
• tender budgeting
• “buy mounts first if collecting is your priority”

Even if your main focus is farming mounts through gameplay, ignoring the Trading Post is how collectors end up missing easy, time-limited additions.

Where to Start: A 3-Phase Plan

If you want a simple plan that works for most players, use this:

Phase 1: First Mount Fast (Days 1–10)

Your goal here is psychological and practical: get a mount purchase quickly so you feel momentum.

• Choose one Renown faction you naturally encounter early (often Silvermoon Court).
• Do campaign and zone content until you consistently have access to the faction’s repeatables (public events, weeklies, and routine objectives).
• Save your Voidlight Marl until you’re near your first mount purchase, then buy the mount that unlocks earliest on your chosen track.

Result: you get a guaranteed mount, learn the expansion loop, and stop feeling like you’re “behind.”

Phase 2: Build Your “Mount Engine” (Weeks 2–4)

Now you shift from “one mount” to “multiple mounts in sequence.”

• Add a second faction with a different vibe (Amani for rugged power, or Hara’ti for nature-mystic variety).
• Put Prey hunts in the background while doing your Renown tasks.
• Start Delves regularly so seasonal progress doesn’t sneak up on you.

Result: your collection grows from multiple lanes at once—without you needing to grind a single activity to exhaustion.

Phase 3: Prestige Targets (Month 2 and beyond)

Once your steady mounts are flowing, pick one prestige target:

• Nemesis seasonal mount
• Mythic trophy mount
• PvP seasonal mount (if that’s your identity)
• A big meta/achievement mount

Result: your mount collection starts telling a story—what you did, what you mastered, what season you owned.

Week-by-Week Checklist for Launch Month

Use this as a practical rhythm you can actually sustain.

Week 1

• Finish your initial campaign push until your main faction’s repeatables are unlocked.
• Do every weekly you can stomach for your chosen Renown faction.
• Pick up Prey at least once to learn the loop and see how it fits your play.

Week 2

• Keep pushing the same primary faction until your first mount purchase is realistic.
• Add one secondary faction and do only its highest-value tasks (don’t fully commit yet).
• Run Delves enough to feel comfortable with pacing and survival.

Week 3

• Buy your first Renown mount (or commit fully to the final stretch if you’re close).
• Choose whether your “season flex” will be Nemesis or a raid trophy, then start practicing consistently.

Week 4

• Broaden: alternate factions by mood to prevent burnout.
• Do Prey at the difficulty that feels consistent, not the difficulty that looks impressive.
• Set a second guaranteed mount goal and track your currency so you can buy it the moment you unlock it.

Voidlight Marl Farming: Practical Routes and Habits

Voidlight Marl is the currency thread that ties many guaranteed mounts together, so you want habits—not vague intentions.

Habit 1: Make “repeatables” your first click

When you log in, do the repeatables that align with your chosen faction and your time budget:

• weekly quests
• public events
• high-value zone objectives

Habit 2: Spend Marl with a purpose

Before you buy anything, answer:

• Is this purchase helping me buy a mount sooner?
• Is this purchase cosmetic clutter that delays the mount?

Collectors who grow fast usually treat mount purchases as “priority spending” until their first 2–4 mounts are secured.

Habit 3: Use short sessions for progress, long sessions for prestige

• Short sessions: Renown tasks + event participation
• Long sessions: Nemesis attempts, raid nights, structured group play

This keeps your mount progress moving even on busy days.

How to Farm Efficiently Without Burning Out

Mount farming fails when it becomes miserable. Midnight gives you multiple lanes, so use them.

Rotate content types

• One day: Renown and events
• Next day: Prey hunts and a few Delves
• Weekend: raid or seasonal challenge attempts

Set “stop points”

Examples:

• “I stop after the weekly set is done.”
• “I stop after two serious Nemesis attempts.”
• “I stop after I earn enough currency for my next mount purchase milestone.”

Stop points keep you from turning a fun collector goal into a second job.

Choose mounts you’ll actually ride

This sounds obvious, but it’s the best burnout prevention there is. If you love your mount, you’ll enjoy the gameplay loop that earned it.

Alt and Warband Strategy for Collectors

A smart collector doesn’t necessarily need many alts—but using even one alt well can accelerate your progress and reduce boredom.

Use an alt to avoid “same-zone fatigue”

If you’re tired of your main faction grind, do a session on an alt in a different zone or system lane. Variety keeps you consistent, and consistency beats hype.

Use alts to practice

Delves and seasonal solo challenges can be mentally expensive. Having an alt lets you practice mechanics or playstyles without risking your main’s momentum.

Use warband thinking

Even when a specific mount purchase is character-bound, your overall account benefits from:

• broader knowledge of routes
• better gold flow
• more efficient time management
• a healthier “I’m progressing” feeling

Group Play vs Solo: Picking the Right Farming Style

Midnight supports both “solo collector” and “group hunter” mentalities.

Solo-friendly mount lanes

• Renown vendor mounts
• Casual Prey (especially at entry difficulty)
• Non-bleeding-edge Delves

Group-leaning mount lanes

• High-difficulty seasonal challenges (where coaching and shared knowledge help, even if the final achievement requires solo execution)
• Raids (especially Mythic trophy pursuits)
• Coordinated farming routes (rares, events, optimization)

Pick the lane that matches your personality. If you hate scheduling, don’t make your entire mount plan depend on raid nights. If you love team play, don’t force yourself into purely solo loops.

BoostRoom Mount Farming Support

If your goal is “more mounts with less wasted time,” BoostRoom is built for exactly that style of player.

How BoostRoom helps mount collectors

• Goal-first planning: you pick the mount target (Renown mount, seasonal challenge mount, trophy mount), and we help you structure a clean path toward it.
• Time-efficient routing: fewer dead minutes, more progress per session—especially valuable in event-driven expansions like Midnight.
• Better consistency: collectors usually fail from inconsistency, not difficulty. A clear plan keeps you logging in with purpose.

When it makes sense to use BoostRoom

• You want a guaranteed Renown mount but don’t want to spend weeks drifting without a plan.
• You’re chasing a seasonal mount and want to maximize your attempt quality.
• You have limited playtime and want your sessions to produce visible progress.

BoostRoom is not about replacing your enjoyment—it’s about removing the “Where do I even start?” friction so your mount collection grows the way you want it to.

FAQ

What’s the best “first mount” strategy in WoW Midnight?

Pick one Renown faction and hard-focus it until you can buy a vendor mount with Voidlight Marl. Getting your first guaranteed mount early builds momentum and makes every later farm feel easier.

Which Midnight factions have known Renown mount rewards?

Major Renown factions commonly associated with vendor mounts include Silvermoon Court, Amani Tribe, Hara’ti, and The Singularity.

Is Prey worth doing if I only care about mounts?

Yes—Prey is explicitly designed to reward cosmetics, including mounts. The biggest benefit is that you can progress Prey while doing other content, so it layers into your normal routine.

What’s the most “prestige” mount chase in Midnight Season 1?

Seasonal challenges (like the Nemesis Delve mount) and Mythic raid trophy mounts tend to be the highest-prestige targets early on.

Do I need a group to farm mounts effectively in Midnight?

Not for your first several mounts. Renown vendor mounts are the most reliable early collection growth and can be pursued largely through open-world play. Group play becomes more important for trophy mounts and higher-difficulty endgame goals.

How do I avoid burnout while mount farming?

Rotate content lanes (Renown, Prey, Delves, and optional endgame) and set stop points. Consistency beats marathon sessions.

Should I spend Voidlight Marl on cosmetics early?

If your priority is mounts, treat Voidlight Marl like mount currency first. Buy non-mount cosmetics after your first 1–2 mount purchases are secured.

What if mount requirements change between beta and launch?

Use the strategy, not the exact numbers: focus one faction, stock currency, buy the earliest mount you unlock, then branch out. If ranks or costs shift, the plan still works.
