We recently told you how to get the new ones Pets that Patch 4.0.3 brought before Cataclysm: Withered, Brazie's Sunflower, Tiny flamefly and Mr. Caterpillar. Today is the turn of the mounts and we are going to talk about all the mounts available in Cataclysm for the most collectors. If you also like to collect pets, do not forget to visit our Cataclysm Pet Guide.
Do you want to know what the new Proto-Drake of Lost Time is? Do you want to fly through the skies turned into a dragon? Or perhaps you prefer to cross the green grasslands of the Twilight Highlands on the back of a Lion. If the answer to any of those questions is yes, read on!
We have divided the mounts into sections. We have mounts for achievements, Archeology (don't miss our Archeology guide), rare loot, reputation, and more. Little by little we will be adding guides for the more complex mounts and, especially, for the achievements.
Types of frames
Mounts earned by Achievements
Golden king / Kor'kron Annihilator
- Taught by Reins of the Kor'kron Annihilator o Reins of the Golden King
- Sale price 1,500 when your brotherhood gets the achievement Level 25 Guild / Level 25 Guild and the player be exalted with the brotherhood
- Terrestrial mount
Undoubtedly one of the most unique mounts in the game, but it takes a lot of effort to get it. Your guild has to reach level 25, which is the maximum level. Also, the player who wants to buy it must be Exalted with his guild before he can buy it. You can find more information about the new guild features in our Cataclysm Guide.
Although it may seem like a simple task, it is difficult to level up because many of the guilds reach the limit "thanks" to many players leveling up and doing dungeons. According to the calculations, reaching the experience limit every day, it would take 137 days (4,5 months) to reach level 25. Patience!
Volcanic Stone Drake
- Taught by Reins of the Volcanic Stone Drake
- Awarded after completing the achievement Glory of the Cataclysm Hero
- Flying mount
This drake will be given to us if we complete the achievements of the new Cataclysm Heroic Dungeons, Glory of the Cataclysm Hero It requires not only you to complete the heroic dungeon but also you must complete some difficult achievements in these heroics.

That is, your raid must be made up of at least 8/10 or 20/25 members of your guild to achieve the achievement. We can later purchase it from our Guild Reputation Seller.
Surely after seeing the pet above, you will be wondering why it is so easy get this mount so similar to A'lar's. It will really be difficult for those who do not have a guild, but otherwise it should not take a lot of work to get this mount.
