Trading Post ~ April Greenery

A 2 x 2 montage of in-game screenshots of mounts for the April Trading post. Top left: female pandaren riding an Arboreal Pseudoshell, a vegetative immitation of a green snail, with a shell that looks like a rolled cabbage, green leafy snail body, with wooden underparts, and two bright orange 5-petal blooms instead of antennae. Top right: female night elf riding a Vicious Snapvine, a snake-like, flying, green twist of vines with a crimson holly-leaf-like

Green is the theme of the April Trading Post where two brand new and imaginative mount models make their debut: the Arboreal Pseudoshell plant-snail, and the flying flytrap-like Vicious Snapvine can be purchased for 400 and 600 Trader's Tender, respectively.

Two previously-available mounts also return this month: the Spring Harvesthog (for 550 Traders Tender) and Emerald Snail (325 Traders Tender).

Flying Squirrels!

A pic of four Groveglider (flying squirrel) mounts sitting on a forest path. All four have long, elfin ears, glowing eyes, and a soft glow around their bodies. From left to right: Frostfall Groveglider - icy blue & lavender with cyan eyes; Cindertuft Groveglider - brown orange & yellow with yellow eyes; Blossombranch Groveglider - white & pink with pink eyes; Gloombough Groveglider - very dark purple with red eyes.

Four new enchanting flying squirrel mounts are now available in the Battle.net Shop (Americas/EU): the blue Frostfall Groveglider, golden-brown Cindertuft Groveglider, dark purple Gloombough Groveglider, and pink Blossombranch Groveglider. These mystical rodents can be purchased individually, or as part of the 'Scurrywind Groveglider Collection'. This collection includes all four mounts at half the price it costs to purchase them individually.

Midnight has now launched!

Midnight is finally open to all players! We hope you have a wonderful time exploring the new expansion. For mount collectors, we've compiled two versions of our mount guide with differing presentation layouts:Happy collecting!

Paladin Charger updates are now live!

A 2x2 comparison of Midnight updated appearances for the WoW human and blood elf paladin class mounts: the Charger (top) and Thalassian Charger (bottom). Originals on the left, with a teal arrow pointing to the updated versions on the right. The model is a fairly faithful update to the original (which dates back to Vanilla!). In both models the mount is a horse with bright glowing eyes, golden plate barding over much of the head and back of neck with long metal spikes along the ridge, golden metal shields on the shoulders and base of neck, metal coverings over the hooves, and a heavy coat over the body in race colours, with gold detailing. The Charger (human, top) has an Alliance blue coat. The original has very pale glowing eyes, but the update has an orange-gold glow. The Thalassian Charger (blood elf, bottom) has a Horde or Blood Elf red coat with an orange eye glow.

With little fanfare, the human and blood elf paladin mounts have just been updated! The human paladin Charger and blood elf Thalassian Charger steeds now sport gorgeous, updated looks that are remarkably faithful to originals that were over 20 years old. A new white colour variant, the Relinquished Scarlet Charger will be obtainable after Midnight launch.

Midnight Looms

Mounted on its carapace are a spiked Horde-style saddle with a fiery cannon on either side. Right: a Sunburst Peafowl: a brilliant peafowl mount with red head, wings and legs, and golden body and ample tail.

The end of an expansion is nigh. The Midnight pre-patch begins this week! There are three new mounts (that we know of) and only one is available during the first week: the stunning, purple Anu'shalla, Shadow's Guidance should be available straight away to anyone who has collected 600 mounts usable by a single character on their account. The two other mounts: the teal Retrained Skyrazor and citrine Light-Forged Mechsuit can be obtained through the 'Twilight Ascension' event in the Twilight Highlands which begins on week two (27th of January). Please see our patch guide for more information, and have fun!
