Overview: Island Expeditions can be solo-queued as of Shadowlands. Speak with Flynn Fairwind (Alliance) or Captain Rez’okun (Horde) and select “Queue for Private Tour” to enter alone.
How It Works:
- Mounts drop from completing expeditions when specific enemy types appear
- Higher difficulties (Mythic) have better drop rates, but still very low (~1% or less)
- Salvage crates purchased with Seafarer’s Dubloons offer much better odds (~5%)
- Island-specific crates rotate weekly based on available islands
- Each crate costs 175 Dubloons (purple quality) or 120 Dubloons (blue quality)
Dubloon Vendors:
- Alliance: Captain Klarisa in Boralus Harbor
- Horde: Captain Zen’taga in Port of Zuldazar

FAQ
How many mounts can you get from BfA? Over 60 unique mounts are available from Battle for Azeroth content, including raids, dungeons, Island Expeditions, reputations, quests, and achievements.
What is the easiest BfA mount to get? The Wonderwing 2.0 from Battle for Azeroth Pathfinder, Part Two is relatively straightforward and takes 3-4 weeks. Deepcoral Snapdragon and Snapdragon Kelpstalker from Nazjatar quests are obtainable in 1-2 hours.
Can you still get Island Expedition mounts? Yes, you can solo queue for Island Expeditions as of Shadowlands. Farm Seafarer’s Dubloons and purchase salvage crates from vendors in Boralus or Dazar’alor.
What is the hardest BfA mount to get? The Mechacycle Model W from the Mecha-Done meta-achievement is considered the most challenging due to its 10 sub-achievements, which require a daily commitment of 4-8 weeks. Royal Snapdragon from Nazjatar paragon caches has extremely low drop rates (5-10%) and requires months of grinding.
Are BfA raids soloable in 2025? Yes, most BfA raids are soloable with current expansion gear. Battle of Dazar’alor and Uldir are fully soloable. Ny’alotha Mythic is challenging to solo and may require the legendary cloak from BfA for certain mechanics.
How long does it take to get all Island Expedition mounts? Expect 60-100+ hours of farming depending on RNG. Some players quickly get lucky with salvage crates, while others take months. Prioritize buying correct crates weekly and farming Dubloons on Mythic difficulty.
Can you still get Glacial Tidestorm? Yes, Glacial Tidestorm drops from Mythic Lady Jaina Proudmoore in Battle of Dazar’alor. It has a roughly 1% drop rate and is soloable with good gear.
What is the drop rate of the Royal Snapdragon? Royal Snapdragon has an estimated 5-10% drop rate from Nazjatar paragon caches (Ankoan Supplies or Unshackled Supplies). You need 10,000 reputation beyond Exalted per cache, making it a 2-4 month grind on average.
Do I need the legendary cloak for BfA content? The legendary cloak from BfA (Ashjra’kamas, Shroud of Resolve) helps with Ny’alotha raid mechanics and N’Zoth assault content, but is not strictly required for most mount farming in 2025. Highly recommended if attempting Mythic Ny’alotha solo.
Are BfA Pathfinder mounts still obtainable? Yes, Battle for Azeroth Pathfinder, Part Two still rewards Wonderwing 2.0 (Mechanical Parrot). The achievement unlocks flying in all BfA zones and takes 3-4 weeks to complete.

Conclusion
Battle for Azeroth introduced a diverse collection of over 60 mounts ranging from mechanical creations to aquatic creatures. With legacy loot enabled and solo queue options for Island Expeditions, 2025 is an excellent time to complete your BfA mount collection.
Prioritize easy quest rewards and reputation mounts first, then move into weekly raid lockouts and Island Expedition farming. The hardest mounts, such as the Mechacycle Model W and Royal Snapdragon, require sustained commitment but offer unique rewards for dedicated collectors.
Start with Pathfinder for flying access, farm Island Expeditions for Dubloons, and chip away at the Mecha-Done meta-achievement for long-term goals. With consistent effort, you can add dozens of unique BfA mounts to your collection.
Happy mount hunting!
