WoW Vendor Mounts List – All Gold & Reputation Mounts (2025)
Vendor mounts in World of Warcraft offer a guaranteed way to expand your mount collection without relying on rare drops or random luck. Whether you’re looking to spend gold, earn reputation with factions, or exchange special currencies, vendor mounts provide reliable acquisition paths for collectors of all levels.
This complete guide covers every vendor mount available in WoW, organized by expansion and purchase type. From affordable racial mounts to expensive gold sinks like the Grand Expedition Yak, you’ll find everything you need to know about prices, locations, and requirements.

Account-Wide Collection
Once purchased, vendor mounts become available to all your characters across both factions, making them excellent investments.

- Profession daily cooldowns – Craft and sell high-demand items
- Farm raw gold – Some zones offer excellent raw gold from mob kills
Please search for YouTube videos on these gold farming methods until we post our guides here.
Time Investment: With efficient farming, expect 2-4 weeks of casual play to earn 120,000 gold.

Much more accessible. Most players can farm this in 3-7 days with legacy raid runs.
