Warlords of Draenor Mounts Guide – Complete List (2025)
Warlords of Draenor introduced over 40 unique mounts centered around the Garrison system, rare world spawns, and raid achievements. From training your own stable of beasts to hunting the legendary Poundfist, WoD offers collectors a mix of guaranteed rewards and challenging rare spawns.
The Garrison Stables system remains one of WoW’s most unique mount acquisition methods, requiring players to capture, train, and eventually earn eight mounts through daily quests. Combined with extremely rare world spawns and Mythic-only raid drops, WoD provides mount collectors with diverse challenges.
In 2025, most WoD content is easily soloable, making it an ideal time to complete your Draenor mount collection without the competition for rare spawns that existed during the expansion’s active period.

Garrison Stables Mounts
How the Stables System Works
Requirements:
- Garrison Level 2 (Town Hall)
- Large plot available (must demolish Barracks, War Mill, or other large building)
- 150 Garrison Resources to build Level 1 Stables
Stables Benefits:
- Level 1: Capture and train mounts, remain mounted while interacting with objects in Draenor
- Level 2: No longer dazed by enemies while mounted in Draenor
- Level 3: Access to final achievement mount quest
How It Works:
- Build Stables in your Garrison
- Receive daily quests to capture wild beasts across Draenor
- Once captured, complete daily training quests for each mount
- After a specific number of quests per mount, it becomes permanently usable
- Complete all 6 mounts to unlock achievement mount quests
