Battle for AzerothRetired Mounts
Index
For various reasons these mounts can no longer be obtained, although you may still see them roaming around the world. Some mounts are retired because of planned, limited-term events - like the PvP Arena seasons. Others are retired because the promotions they are part of are discontinued. Others just go missing as part of game changes or recodes.
Ahead of the Curve Mounts
Beginning in Mists of Pandaria, a special mount has been awarded to those who defeat the final raid boss of the expansion (on Normal mode or greater for the Siege of Orgimmar, Heroic or greater for the others), before the next expansion launches. This achievement is known as 'Ahead of the Curve'. These mounts are retired with the launch of the pre-expansion patch for the following expansion.
Dungeon Challenge Mode Mounts
In some expansions there have been mount rewards for completing all the dungeons on Challenge Mode, with a rating of Silver or above. These mounts are retired with the launch of the pre-expansion patch for the next expansion.

Arena Mounts
Each PvP Arena season has its own mount reward, and the previous season's reward is retired as soon as it's awarded.
Discontinued Promotion Mounts
Sometimes mounts are offered as an incentive for a Blizzard promotional event and are retired when it ends.

Original Epic Mounts
These mounts were the original 'Epic' level 60 mounts present in the game when WoW launched. In Patch 1.4, these unarmored epic mounts were removed from vendors and replaced with the armored level 60 (now level 40) mounts that we have today. Characters who already owned one of these retired mounts were encouraged to trade it in for a new armored mount, but those that didn't now own something truly rare, as the old versions here can no longer be purchased.
Miscellaneous Retired Mounts
Various mounts that have been retired as part of the ongoing, changing nature of World of Warcraft. Some were retired as players out-levelled the achievement, others as old systems were removed or recoded.
