408 attempts for Tomb Stalker, but that’s only one mount out of 1,000 that a player has after 20 years of WoW

There are currently 1,210 mounts in World of Warcraft. A passionate collector from Azeroth has now mastered the milestone of 1,000 mounts and flying animals. MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz comes to…

How many mounts are there, Karsten? Well, I may have been playing WoW for several years, but I’m not exactly known as an ambitious collector. Across my entire account, I only have 168 items, and only a handful of them have been used regularly for years (most notably the wonderful Rogue class mount from Legion).

Ok, what about the real mount collector? He goes by the username lasko_leaf_blower and proudly announced on Reddit that he recently reached the milestone of 1,000 mounts on his WoW account. The website that shows you this so clearly can be found at dataforazeroth.com.

The War Within also brought many new mounts, but in the new WoW expansion, the story surrounding the World Soul Saga is the focus of many Warcraft fans:

It was a long, long road and nobody said it would be easy

How did the player achieve this milestone? On Reddit, lasko_leaf_blower reflects on his passion for collecting virtual means of transport. His first mount was the Striped Night Saber, which his level 40 night elf could probably just about afford 20 years ago (at least that was the case for me, but on the right faction page “cough”).

The number 1,000 went to the devil-trained Avenger’s Screamer for the demon hunter quest “A devilishly good find”. The one that took up the most time, however, was the Grave Stalker. He had to send King Dazar to the floor 408 times in the mythical King’s Rest.

His favorites include

  • the Swift Zulian Tiger from Zul’Gurub
  • Sailing Magic Tome from the Timewalking achievement “The Tour de Turm”
  • Fast Spectral Tiger from the WoW Trading Card Game
  • Spotted Dragon from the WoW Trading Card Game
  • the island thunder scale from the island expeditions

    • How does the community react to the success? The milestone is celebrated under the Reddit post.

  • ScaredInitial writes (via Reddit): “Congratulations! This is awesome! I was a mount farmer until WoD, then I stopped caring about collections. I recently came back and started farming again (mainly to get 500+ mounts, 1k mounts is just insane).”
  • TryPokingIt wonders on Reddit: “Congratulations! It’s really a shame there are no rewards for that number. You deserve it! There’s a pet reward for 1,800 pets, which is an unusual number, but nothing for 1,000 mounts?”
  • StardustJess learned something from the success (via Reddit): “This is very cool! I had no idea there were so many mounts – LOL.”
  • nagoom apparently had a lot of luck (via Reddit): “I’m at 986. I only started mount farming in Season 1 of Shadowlands (I only started playing at the end of BfA). I’m pretty much done with mount collecting now, I just pick what I like instead of getting one more each time.”

    • Where is your mount counter currently? And how long have you been playing WoW to get to this number? Tell us in the comments! This success from the community was also impressive in July 2024: WoW character at level 70 in under 30 minutes – This is how crazy the speed level record is
