Mount Farming in WoW Midnight Feels Different (In a Good Way)
Mount collecting in Midnight isn’t just “kill boss, pray, repeat.” It’s built around parallel progress—meaning one play session can push you toward several mount goals at the same time if you approach it correctly.
Here’s the big mindset shift that makes Midnight mount farming feel smooth instead of chaotic:
- You’re not farming mounts one-by-one. You’re farming systems (Renown, exploration, Delves, events), and the mounts fall out as milestones.
- Most early wins come from clarity, not power. Knowing what unlocks what—where vendors are, what needs Renown, what needs currency—saves more time than raw DPS.
- Zone identity matters. Eversong and Silvermoon lean into faction reputation and hub progression. Zul’Aman leans into Amani activities and wilderness loops. Harandar rewards exploration and treasures. Voidstorm pushes you into scenario-style content and void-themed progression. Delves tie it together with their own mount trophies and major currency sink.
If you only remember one rule from this page, make it this: Always stack your objectives. Don’t do “a Renown day” and then “an exploration day.” Do a loop that gives you both.

The New Mount Types You’ll See in Midnight (And Why They Matter)
When players say “new mount types,” they usually mean one of two things:
- New creature families and aesthetics (what you’re riding)
- New acquisition lanes (how you earn it)
Midnight delivers on both.
Creature-style “types” you’ll see a lot
- Dragonhawks and Hawkstriders (classic Quel’Thalas identity, heavily tied to Silvermoon progression)
- Amani Loa-themed mounts (bears and eagles—troll culture, Zul’Aman content)
- Nature-infused Harandar mounts (like grimlynx/sporegliders/chloroceros—strong “wild” silhouettes)
- Voidstorm creatures (shredclaws and stormrays—sharp shapes, cosmic/void styling)
- Arcane constructs and guardians (Silvermoon’s magical defense vibe—often tied to Delves/vendors)
Acquisition “types” that define your mount plan
- Exploration mount (earned by collecting Skyriding glyphs across zones)
- Treasure meta mount (earned by finishing a zone’s special treasure achievement)
- Renown mounts (earned through the four major Midnight Renown factions)
- Public activity mounts (earned through repeatable events/currencies like Abundance)
- Delve mounts (earned through Undercoin, Delver’s Journey progress, and achievement challenges)
- Mythic raid trophy mount (a high-end prestige target)
A collector-friendly plan touches at least three of these lanes at once—ideally five.
The Currencies and Progress Bars That Actually Control Your Collection
You can waste a ton of time in Midnight if you treat everything like it’s the same grind. It isn’t. These are the “control knobs” that dictate how fast mounts happen.
Voidlight Marl
This is the headline Midnight currency for a lot of cosmetic rewards—especially Renown vendor items and some Delve-related purchases. In practice, you’ll want to treat Voidlight Marl as your “buy power” for mounts once you’ve unlocked the right vendors through Renown or Delver progress.
Important collector note: some prices have shifted across builds and databases, so don’t plan your entire week around one exact number—plan around the idea that you’ll want a healthy Marl stash ready when you hit key Renown breakpoints.
Unalloyed Abundance
This is tied to the Abundance public event lane. If you like repeatable “group activity” farming that doesn’t require sweat-level combat, this is one of the best early mount lanes to stack alongside everything else because it’s flexible and repeatable.
Undercoin (Delves)
Delves have their own economy, and Midnight leans into it. Undercoin is a classic “big sink currency,” meaning you should expect at least one mount to be a longer-term Undercoin goal. Don’t ignore Delves if you’re a mount collector—even if you’re mostly a world player—because Midnight puts real mount trophies behind Delve progress and achievements.
Renown (four major factions)
This is the backbone of Midnight mount farming. Think of Renown as your “vendor unlock ladder.” You’re not just earning cosmetics—you’re unlocking the right to buy mounts, and those mounts are some of the most visually iconic rides in the expansion.
Your Best “Where to Start” Plan (First Week Collector Route)
If you want to start Midnight mount farming the smart way, your first week shouldn’t be “grind until tired.” It should be a structured unlock sequence:
Step 1: Lock in your hub habits (Silvermoon City as your collector base)
Silvermoon City isn’t just a story hub in Midnight—it’s a practical collector hub. Treat it like your home base:
- Vendor checks
- Delve HQ access
- Renown quartermaster planning
- Flight routes and fast travel
Make it a habit: whenever you log in, do a quick “hub pass.” It keeps you from forgetting progress gates like Delver’s Journey ranks or Renown breakpoints.
Step 2: Grab the exploration mount lane immediately (Skyriding Glyph sweep)
The fastest-feeling mount progress in Midnight is the glyph hunter path, because every glyph you grab is permanent account satisfaction: it’s a visible checklist that moves forward every session.
Your goal early isn’t “complete the whole map in one sitting.” It’s:
- Grab glyphs while you’re already traveling for quests
- Mark the ones you missed
- Finish the full sweep once you’ve naturally unlocked easy routes through the zones
This lane leads to a standout dragonhawk mount reward, and it pairs perfectly with Renown farming because Renown sends you everywhere anyway.
Step 3: Choose one Renown faction to “push” and two to “ride along”
A common mistake: trying to keep all four Renown tracks perfectly equal from day one. That slows you down because you end up context-switching too much.
Instead:
- Push one faction hard (your first mount breakpoint)
- Ride along with two others (do their weeklies/events as you pass them)
- Let the fourth naturally catch up later through story and shared activities
A very collector-friendly order is:
- Silvermoon Court (you’ll be in Eversong/Silvermoon early anyway)
- Amani Tribe (Zul’Aman activities are repeatable and easy to stack)
- Hara’ti (Harandar’s treasure/exploration synergy is strong)
- The Singularity (Voidstorm content tends to feel “later” and scenario-heavy)
Step 4: Add one “guaranteed mount milestone” each weekend
Your motivation stays high when you have a weekend objective that ends in a mount unlock, not just “progress.”
Great early milestones include:
- Finishing the full glyph sweep mount
- Completing Harandar’s special treasure achievement mount
- Buying an Abundance vendor mount once you’ve banked enough Unalloyed Abundance
- Hitting your first Renown mount breakpoint (often around mid-to-high teens on the Renown track)
If you do one guaranteed milestone per weekend, your collection grows steadily without burnout.
The Early Wins: Mounts You Can Target Right Away
These are the mounts that feel the most “reachable” early because they’re checklist-based (not pure RNG), and they naturally overlap with normal campaign play.
The Skyriding Glyph Hunter mount (exploration lane)
This mount is earned by collecting all Skyriding glyphs across the four main Midnight zones. If you enjoy exploration, this is your perfect “do it while questing” mount.
Collector tip: build a habit of doing a mini-glyph sweep whenever you enter a new subregion. Even grabbing 2–3 glyphs per session adds up quickly.
The Harandar treasures mount (treasure meta lane)
Harandar rewards dedicated exploration with a mount tied to looting all special treasures in the zone. This is ideal for players who like checklist completion and route optimization.
Collector tip: don’t treat treasures like “random distractions.” Treat them like a structured circuit:
- Do story quests that open travel paths
- Sweep treasures along the same ridge/valley loop
- Return later for the hard-to-reach ones once you have more flight comfort and map familiarity
Abundance vendor mounts (public activity lane)
Abundance is a repeatable, professions-themed public event available across Midnight zones. It’s one of the best “low-stress” mount lanes because it’s:
- Repeatable
- Flexible
- Easy to stack with other objectives
- Great for playing with friends without needing a strict group
Two notable mounts in this lane are purchasable from the Abundance vendor once you have enough Unalloyed Abundance. If you like the idea of “farm currency, buy mount,” this is one of your cleanest pathways.
Collector tip: Abundance is perfect for “short sessions.” If you only have 20–30 minutes, hop in, do the event, bank your currency, log out feeling like you advanced a mount goal.
Delve vendor and Delve achievement mounts (challenge lane)
Delves are not just gear content in Midnight—they’re mount content. This lane has:
- A major Undercoin sink mount
- A smaller currency mount tied to Delver’s Journey progress
- Achievement mounts for deeper Delve metas and special challenges
Collector tip: if you ignore Delves until “later,” you’ll eventually hit a wall where your mount goals require a huge Undercoin catch-up. Doing a small amount of Delves consistently is far easier than trying to binge them all at once.
Renown Mount Ladder: The Four Factions and the Mounts to Watch
Midnight includes four major Renown factions, and each has at least one “I need that” mount. The trick is to plan around Renown breakpoints, not vague grinding.
Silvermoon Court (Eversong Woods / Silvermoon identity)
This is your high elf/blood elf fantasy lane: sleek silhouettes, bright arcane flavor, and iconic Quel’Thalas mount vibes.
- Crimson Silvermoon Hawkstrider (Renown breakpoint in the high teens)
- Fiery Dragonhawk (top-end Renown breakpoint)
Collector routing tip:
- Treat Silvermoon Court progression like your “main story + public event + weekly” lane.
- Balance your time so you’re not only doing quests; repeatable events and weeklies are designed to keep Renown moving.
Amani Tribe (Zul’Aman / Loa and wilderness)
This lane is perfect if you like primal, iconic mounts:
- Amani Blessed Bear (mid-to-high Renown breakpoint)
- Amani Windcaller (higher Renown breakpoint, flying)
Collector routing tip:
- Zul’Aman is great for building a repeatable loop habit. Set a “Zul’Aman day” each week where you do the zone’s key activities, then leave.
Hara’ti (Harandar / nature-infused, Haranir story ties)
This is the “wild beauty” lane: nature aesthetics, unusual creature silhouettes, and a strong synergy with exploration.
- Fierce Grimlynx (earlier of the two Renown mounts)
- Cerulean Sporeglider (later mount, flying)
Collector routing tip:
- Pair Hara’ti Renown with Harandar treasure hunting. The zone rewards players who explore intentionally.
The Singularity (Voidstorm / void elf theme)
This lane is the “void creature collector” lane: sharp, alien silhouettes and cosmic flavor.
- Ravenous Shredclaw (high teen Renown)
- Voidbound Stormray (upper teen Renown, flying)
Collector routing tip:
- Voidstorm tends to reward structured play. If there’s a scenario-style activity available, build your weekly routine around it rather than wandering aimlessly.
Zone-by-Zone: How to Farm Mount Progress Without Wasting Time
Think of each zone as a different kind of mount “engine.” Your goal is to match your playstyle to the right engine.
Eversong Woods and Silvermoon City (hub efficiency + reputation balance)
This area is where you build momentum. Your priority here:
- Establish your hub routine
- Progress Silvermoon Court Renown
- Start Delves if you care about Undercoin mounts
- Keep your glyph hunting active whenever you move
Practical tip: do not treat Silvermoon City as “just a place to turn in quests.” Treat it as your collector command center. When you’re consistent about checking vendors and progress bars, you stop missing unlock moments.
Zul’Aman (repeatable activities + Amani progression)
Zul’Aman’s strength is how naturally it supports repeatable loops:
- Do your Amani Tribe progression
- Stack Abundance whenever it’s active
- Keep an eye out for rare-hunting opportunities if you enjoy RNG chasing
Practical tip: If you want “mount progress you can feel,” Zul’Aman is the zone where you schedule your play instead of improvising. That’s how you stack Renown + currency + exploration without drifting.
Harandar (treasure metas + exploration synergy)
Harandar is a collector playground:
- Treasures matter
- Exploration matters
- Map mastery is rewarded
If you’re going for the Harandar treasure meta mount, the best approach is “layered completion”:
- Grab obvious treasures during questing
- Mark the hard ones and return with better movement confidence
- Finish with a dedicated sweep once most of the map is unlocked
Practical tip: Harandar is where you learn to love checklists again. Don’t rush it—optimize it.
Voidstorm (scenario-style content + void-themed Renown)
Voidstorm is where players often lose time because they roam without structure. Don’t do that.
Instead:
- Focus on the zone’s structured activities
- Push Singularity Renown milestones
- Keep your currency and vendor goals visible
Practical tip: Voidstorm is the zone where “one more random pull” turns into an hour. Go in with a goal, finish it, leave.
Delves in Midnight: The Mount Lane Many Collectors Will Regret Skipping
If you’re serious about mounts, Delves are not optional content in Midnight—they’re a core mount lane.
Here’s why Delves matter for collectors:
- They include mounts purchasable with Undercoin
- They include mounts tied to Delver’s Journey progression
- They include meta-achievement mounts that reward deep completion
- They include challenge-style mounts that are time-sensitive or season-contextual
Your Delves collector approach should be simple:
- Do a small amount consistently
- Bank Undercoin instead of spending it impulsively
- Track your Delver’s Journey rank like it’s a Renown bar
When you finally decide “okay, I want that Undercoin mount,” you’ll be grateful you didn’t start from zero.
The Prestige Trophy: The Mythic Raid Phoenix Mount Goal
Every expansion has a mount that becomes the “flex” trophy—the one people link in chat because it instantly says, “Yeah, we did the hard thing.”
Midnight’s early prestige trophy is a void-tainted phoenix mount tied to the Mythic version of Midnight’s first raid.
If you are even slightly interested in Mythic raid trophy mounts, the best time to pursue them is when:
- Your roster is active
- The raid is current
- Groups are forming constantly
Collector tip: even if you’re not a Mythic raider, you can still treat this mount as a long-term target. The key is building the foundation: gear readiness, stable schedule, and a reliable group.
And if you want a structured, efficient path into that world without endless trial-and-error groups, BoostRoom can help you find the right run style for your comfort level—whether that’s learning-focused or efficiency-focused.
Practical Mount Farming Rules (Midnight Edition)
These rules keep you progressing even when you’re busy, tired, or only have short sessions.
- Never leave a zone without doing one collectible action.
- One glyph, one treasure, one vendor check—anything that advances a mount lane.
- Don’t grind Renown blindly—grind it at breakpoints.
- Pick your next mount unlock (Renown 16/17/18/19/20), then plan backward.
- Use “short sessions” for currency events and “long sessions” for sweeps.
- Short session: Abundance, quick Delves, quick weeklies
- Long session: full glyph sweep, treasure circuit, rare route loops
- Track three goals max per week.
- Example:
- One Renown mount breakpoint goal
- One exploration/treasure checklist goal
- One Delve/Undercoin progress goal
- If you track six goals, you’ll feel like you’re failing all six.
- Avoid RNG traps until you have a stable base.
- Rare-hunting and low-drop mounts are fun—but only after your checklist mounts are secured.
- Plan your currency spending before you hit the vendor.
- Nothing hurts more than hitting your Renown mount unlock and realizing you spent your currency on cosmetics the day before.
- Always stack objectives when traveling.
- If you’re going across the map, grab glyphs and treasures on the way. Travel time is the silent killer of mount farming.

FAQ
Is Midnight mount farming mostly RNG?
No. Midnight has some RNG mounts (rare drops and trophy-style content), but many of the most exciting mounts are checklist-based: Renown milestones, exploration glyphs, treasure metas, and currency purchases.
What’s the fastest mount lane to start with?
Exploration glyph hunting is the fastest-feeling lane because progress is constant and visible. Pair it with Renown questing so you’re always moving toward multiple goals.
Should I focus on one Renown faction or all four at once?
Push one faction to your next mount breakpoint, then “ride along” on two others through weeklies and public activities. Trying to keep all four perfectly equal early usually slows you down.
Are Delves worth doing if I’m mainly an open-world player?
Yes, if you care about mounts. Midnight ties multiple mounts to Delves through Undercoin, Delver’s Journey progress, and Delve achievements.
What’s the best weekly routine if I only play a few days?
Do one longer session for a major sweep (glyphs or treasures), then do shorter sessions for repeatable events (like Abundance) and quick Delves. That keeps all your mount lanes moving.
How do I avoid burnout while farming mounts?
Limit yourself to three tracked goals per week, and make sure at least one is a guaranteed milestone that ends in a mount unlock.
Can BoostRoom help if I don’t have a lot of time?
Yes. BoostRoom is best used when you want structured efficiency—Renown breakpoint targeting, currency routing, treasure circuits, Delve progress planning, and group coordination for harder trophies.
