World Boss Mounts
Mists of Pandaria introduced some of the most iconic world boss mounts in WoW history. These massive outdoor raid bosses respawn on 10-60 minute timers and offer one loot attempt per character per week.
Sha of Anger – Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent
Mount: Reins of the Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent
Drop Rate: ~0.3% (approximately 1 in 333 kills)
Location: Kun-Lai Summit (coordinates 54, 63)
Respawn Time: 10-20 minutes
Weekly Lockout: Yes
Bonus Roll: Yes (Elder Charm of Good Fortune)
Why It’s Special:
The Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent is consistently ranked as one of the rarest and most prestigious mounts in all of World of Warcraft. Its shadowy black and purple color scheme makes it instantly recognizable, and the minuscule drop rate means most players never see it drop.
Farming Strategy:
- Create multiple level 90+ characters (more attempts = better odds)
- Farm Lesser Charms of Good Fortune for bonus rolls
- Set Hearthstone to Shrine of Two Moons/Seven Stars
- Kill Sha on all characters weekly
- Use bonus rolls for a second chance
Reality Check: With a 0.3% drop rate, expect this to take 200-500+ attempts on average. Many dedicated farmers run 10-20 characters weekly for months or even years.
Galleon – Son of Galleon’s Saddle
Mount: Son of Galleon’s Saddle
Drop Rate: ~0.5% (approximately 1 in 200 kills)
Location: Valley of the Four Winds (coordinates 71, 64)
Respawn Time: 30-120 minutes
Weekly Lockout: Yes
Bonus Roll: Yes (Elder Charm of Good Fortune)
Why It’s Special:
Galleon is a massive armored Mushan (elephant-like creature), and this mount is one of the largest ground mounts in the game. Its imposing size makes it a status symbol in any major city.
Farming Strategy:
- Galleon dies extremely fast when he spawns (often within seconds)
- Join or create a group when the spawn window opens
- Be ready to tag immediately
- Cross-realm grouping helps with spawn camping
Nalak – Thundering Cobalt Cloud Serpent
Mount: Reins of the Thundering Cobalt Cloud Serpent
Drop Rate: ~1%
Location: Isle of Thunder, in front of Throne of Thunder (coordinates 60, 37)
Respawn Time: 10-20 minutes
Weekly Lockout: Yes
Bonus Roll: Yes (Mogu Rune of Fate)
Requirements: Unlock Isle of Thunder via intro quests
Why It’s Special:
Nalak’s electric blue color perfectly matches the boss’s appearance. This is one of the more “farmable” world boss mounts due to Nalak’s faster respawn time and consistent spawn location.
Farming Strategy:
- Complete the Isle of Thunder intro quests to unlock the zone
- Nalak announces zone-wide when spawning: “I am born of thunder!”
- Position yourself near the Throne of Thunder entrance
- Farm multiple alts weekly
- Purchase Mogu Runes of Fate from Timeless Isle (1,000 Timeless Coins each)
Oondasta – Cobalt Primordial Direhorn
Mount: Reins of the Cobalt Primordial Direhorn
Drop Rate: ~1%
Location: Isle of Giants (northern coast off Kun-Lai Summit, coordinates 50, 54)
Respawn Time: 15 minutes
Weekly Lockout: Yes
Bonus Roll: Yes (Mogu Rune of Fate)
Why It’s Special:
The Direhorn mount is a massive dinosaur mount that remains popular among collectors.
Huolon – Thundering Onyx Cloud Serpent (Timeless Isle)
Mount: Reins of the Thundering Onyx Cloud Serpent
Drop Rate: ~1%
Location: Timeless Isle, bridge near Blazing Way (coordinates 67, 60)
Respawn Time: 30-60 minutes
Weekly Lockout: NO (unlimited kills per day)
Bonus Roll: No
Why It’s Special:
Unlike other world boss mounts, Huolon has NO weekly lockout, meaning you can kill him multiple times per day. This makes his mount one of the most actively farmed rare drops in MoP.
Farming Strategy:
- Camp on the bridge connecting Blazing Way and Firewalker Ruins
- Huolon flies a predictable route over the bridge
- Ranged classes have an advantage (can hit while flying)
- Highly competitive. Tag quickly when he spawns
- Use the RareScanner addon for spawn alerts
- Consider farming during off-peak hours

Don’t Forget Bonus Rolls
Elder Charms and Mogu Runes provide additional mount chances. Always use them on mount-dropping bosses.
Don’t Ignore Vendor Mounts
Vendor mounts count toward your total mount count achievements (25, 50, 100, 150, 200+ mounts). Every mount counts!
Don’t Farm Without Setting Hearthstone
Set your Hearthstone to Shrine of Two Moons/Seven Stars. This central hub provides portal access to every Pandaria zone, saving hours of flight time across multiple characters.
FAQ
Q: How many mounts can I get from Mists of Pandaria?
A: Over 100 unique mounts are available from MoP content, including reputation, raid drops, world bosses, profession crafts, and achievements.
Q: What’s the easiest Cloud Serpent to get?
A: Your starter Cloud Serpent from the Order of the Cloud Serpent questline is free. Choose Azure, Jade, or Golden when you pick your egg—that color is free at Exalted (the other two colors cost 3,000g each).
Q: Can I farm Huolon multiple times per day?
A: Yes! Unlike other world boss mounts with weekly lockouts, Huolon has no lockout. You can kill him every time he spawns (30-60 minute respawn timer).
Q: What’s the rarest mount in Mists of Pandaria?
A: The Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent from Sha of Anger has approximately a 0.3% drop rate, making it the rarest MoP mount. With a weekly lockout per character, most players spend months or years farming to see it drop.
Q: Do I need Cloud Serpent Riding for all serpent mounts?
A: Yes, you need to complete the Order of the Cloud Serpent reputation to Exalted and finish the “Riding the Skies” quest before you can ride any Cloud Serpent mount (except non-serpent mounts like tigers, cranes, etc.).
Q: Can I solo world bosses in 2025?
A: Yes! All MoP world bosses can be solo’d at max level with decent gear. Sha of Anger, Galleon, and Nalak are very easy. Oondasta requires tankier specs or better gear due to its serious damage output.
Q: How long does Order of the Cloud Serpent take?
A: With daily quests only: 2-3 weeks. With Onyx Egg farming: 1-2 weeks. With hardcore Quivering Firestorm Egg farming on Timeless Isle: 3-5 days.
Q: Are bonus rolls worth it for mount farming?
A: Absolutely! Bonus rolls give you a second chance at the mount from the same kill. Over hundreds of attempts, this significantly increases your odds.
Q: What’s the most useful MoP mount?
A: The Grand Expedition Yak (120,000g vendor mount) includes transmog and repair vendors on the mount itself. The Azure/Crimson Water Striders are capable of water walking. Both are incredibly useful quality-of-life mounts.
Q: How do I get to Timeless Isle?
A: Take the portal from Vale of Eternal Blossoms (located near the flight master in Shrine of Two Moons for Horde or Shrine of Seven Stars for Alliance). Alternatively, complete Chromie’s “Journey to the Timeless Isle” quest for a direct teleport.
