Battle for Azeroth

Patch 8.3: Visions of N'Zoth mounts

Patch 8.3: Visions of N'Zoth introduces at least 26 new mounts to collect. While there are no new zones to explore, there are new 'Assault' phases of Uldum and the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, as well as Horrific Visions instances. In addition, the new raid: 'Ny'alotha, the Waking City', and the new pvp season: BfA Season 4 both commence two weeks after patch launch (though the Arena mount won't be awarded until the end of the season.)

Expansion Features - Horrific Visions

The sinister red Wicked Swarmer is sold by Wrathion in the Chamber of Heart, for 100000 Corrupted Mementos which can be earned by running Horrific Visions scenarios. Wowhead has a detailed guide on how to earn these.

Expansion Features - Service Medals

Service Medals were introduced in BfA as a currency for Warfront-related activities. The introduction of a new vendor mount, the Sandy Nightsaber, coincides with the release of Heroic Battle for Darkshore in Patch 8.3. It costs 350 7th Legion/Honorbound Service Medals, but only available after you've completed the Heroic Battle for Darkshore.

Loot - Miscellaneous Scenario and Instance Drops

The creepy Mail Muncher drops from an NPC of the same name. It can be found in Horrific Visions scenarios added in Patch 8.3. See Wowhead's Horrific Visions Guide for more information.

Loot - Raid Boss Drops

Coming soon - the Ny'alotha raid will launch two weeks after the release of Patch 8.2. The many-eyed Ny'alotha Allseer drops from N'Zoth, the Corruptor in the raid 'Ny'alotha, the Waking City' on Mythic difficulty only. As with previous Mythic raid mounts, it is likely that the Ny'alotha Allseer will be a guaranteed drop (for all party members) at the time the raid is current, but it'll become a rare drop once the next expansion is released. Note that although Mythic difficulty has been removed from the Allseer's description in the mount journal - which might suggest it drops from other difficulties - it's still only listed among Mythic loot in the Adventure Guide. We'll have to wait and see.

Loot - World Boss or Rare Drops

At least eight new mounts drop from rare spawns introduced in Patch 8.3. Seven of these are in the new Assault phases of Uldum and the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. One more (Mollie) apparently drops from an older world boss - Dunegorger Kraulok in Vol'dun. Note that not all Uldum and Vale rares will be up every week. While Ishak seems to be constant, most of the others change weekly, depending on which section of the zone is under assault. The Vale of Eternal Blossoms is divided into two assaults: Mogu (west) or Black Empire (east), while Uldum is divided up into three: Aqir (west), Black Empire (central) or Amathet (east).
All rares (except perhaps Dunegorger Kraulok) can be looted daily. You can check which you've completed on a particular day with the following macro (ignore the ones that aren't up that week): /run for k,v in pairs({Ishak=57259,Rotfeaster=57273,CorpseEater=58696,AnhDe=57363,HaLi=57344,HoundlordRen=57345,ReiLun=57346}) do print(format("%s: %s",k,IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end

Player vs Player - Arena

Coming soon - BfA Season 4 will launch two weeks after the release of Patch 8.3. The Gladiator's mount reward for BfA Season 4 will be this swarthy Proto-Drake. Like all Arena mounts, it won't be available until the end of the season.

Player vs Player - Vicious Mounts - Rated PvP

The rated PvP ('Vicious') rewards for BfA Season 2 have a white theme. To earn one of these handsome mounts, players must first reach the PvP rank of 'Combatant' during the season by reaching a rating of 1400 from competing in 2v2, 3v3, or 10v10 arenas and battlegrounds. They must then win a further 100 rated PvP matches during the season.

Achievements - Dungeon Keystone & Challenge Modes

Previous expansions have offered a mount for dungeon Challenge Mode achievements. Instead in BfA we can earn this grey serpent of N'zoth for completing all Battle for Azeroth Season Four dungeons at Mythic Level 15 or higher, within the time limit. This will possibly be much more difficult than previous expansions, but time will tell.

Achievements - Raid Meta-Achievements

Coming soon - the Ny'alotha raid will launch two weeks after the release of Patch 8.2. This purple serpent of N'zoth is the reward for completing Glory of the Ny'alotha Raider - the raid meta-achievement for the 'Ny'alotha, the Waking City' raid on Normal difficulty and above.

Quests & Exploration - Ahead of the Curve

It is likely that this impressive void dragon will be the Ahead of the Curve reward for the final patch of Battle for Azeroth. N'Zoth will likely drop a Spawn of Vexiona quest item for every victor on Heroic difficulty or above, which will trigger a quest leading to the mount. This will almost certainly be removed once the Shadowlands expansion launches.

Quests & Exploration - Mount Quest Chains

You can earn this fanciful, tentacled insect mount by raising it from a newly-hatched drone. The quest chain begins by locating a clutch of Voidtouched Eggs near Ankhaten Harbor in Uldum and the entire chain takes 30 days. See this Wowhead comment if you want a day-by-day description.

Handy Macros

A number of rare NPCs in Patch 8.3 can drop mounts, companion pets or toys, and they can be looted daily. Here are some handy macros for tracking which you've killed on a particular day. You can use them to create macro buttons or paste them into your dialogue box. You can easily delete the 'name=number,' part for rares you no longer need, or merge the NPCs of two macros into one (within WoW's macro character limit).
The macros cover all relevant rares in Uldum and the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

For more information on rares that drop pets and toys in Patch 8.3, see Wowhead's Rewards from N'Zoth Assaults - Mounts, Pets, Toys guide.
