Not often you see a profession mount look this good!

Comment by Andersism

Another fantastic looking mount, especially good looking for Warlocks!

Comment by Mightyena5875345

Yay! Blacksmiths finally get a mount!

Comment by Catpow

Blacksmiths get a sell-able mount and Leatherworkers get a BoP mount? Elderhorn Riding Harness

Comment by bigworm2

is it unique compared to the existing Fel Hound mount from Molten Core? Hope so

Comment by kjn2day1

I'm seeing you all says it's a BS mount, and how you can craft a harness and all. Wondering how making weapons and armors suddenly make a demon fel hound suddenly.

Comment by ProjectSixam

I can't help but feel like there'll be a bit of a case of deja vu with this mount and the 10th Anni Core Hound like we had with the WoD CE Dread Raven and the Corrupted Dreadwing.

"Wehhh wehhhh wehhhhhh we did so 'n so but you can just BUY/CRAFT a cooler-looking mount/model/skin for stuff IN GAME! WTF BLIZZ UNSUBBING AGAIN WHILE ALREADY BEING UNSUBBED >:O"

... Well, at least, I like the fel core hound better than the regular one on the principle that I play a warlock.

This is a nice looking mount obviously just a redo of molten core, however don't get why this mount has what looks like red spit dribbling out of his mouth when clearly it is full of fel energy/liquid. Again i don't want to take away from how nice this mount is but it would be nice if it was fine tuned that your char was holding onto the chains like reins rather than them just sitting there on the sides

Comment by Megabucks

I've noticed they seem to do this a lot with recolors of the firey mounts. The fel hawk still has the orange fire effects to it, same with the purple recolors of both the flying and ground versions. Small detail, but it always bugs me a bit.

Comment by spikylock

This actually pisses me off that I suffered through a 40m MC LFR for a unique mount only to have it recolored in the next xpac.

UPDATES:

The Enchanting mount appears to have been removed!
It seems the Blacksmithing mount, Steelbound Harness, is not BoP, and does not require Blacksmithing, suggesting it can be bought/sold on the Auction House.

This mount, like Alchemy's Vial of the Sands, Engineering's Sky Golem and Jewelcrafting's Jeweled Onyx Panther will be craftable and can be bought/sold on the Auction House or traded. Production of this mount will be largely limited by the 50 Blood of Sargeras and 10 Infernal Brimstone required to craft it.

Recipe: Recipe: Fel Core Hound Harness. This recipe drops from Tichondrius in The Nighthold raid.

This mount is one of a few profession mounts in Legion. Below is a summary list, sorted by profession.

Archaeology

Spirit of Eche'ro (Mount: Spirit of Eche'ro)

Blacksmithing

Steelbound Harness (Mount: Steelbound Devourer)

Fishing

Brinedeep Bottom-Feeder (Mount: Brinedeep Bottom-Feeder)

Leatherworking

Elderhorn Riding Harness (Mount: Great Northern Elderhorn)

Below is a breakdown of crafted mounts. Note that "profession specific" mounts are those for which either having the profession or using the profession (e.g. Fishing, Archaeology) is REQUIRED to learn the mount. Non-profession specific mounts are those where the profession is not required to learn them - either non-soulbound mounts that everyone can use, like Vial of the Sands, or mounts available from other sources, like Riding Turtle.

Profession	TOTAL Mounts	Profession specific mounts	Non-profession specific mounts	New in Legion
Alchemy	1	0	1	0
Archaeology	3	3	0	1
Blacksmithing	1	0	1	1
Enchanting	0	0	0	0
Engineering	6*	2	4	0
Fishing	5	4	1	1
Jewelcrafting	5	0	5	0
Leatherworking	2	2	0	1
Tailoring	4	4	0	0
TOTAL	27	15	12	4

NOTE: *Mechano-Hog/Mekgineer's Chopper are faction-specific; Geosynchronous World Spinner and Depleted-Kyparium Rocket require Gnomish and Goblin Engineering, respectively, to craft

Quick numbers:

5 total professions (3 primary, 2 secondary) are required to get all profession specific mounts
11 crafted mounts are usable by anyone, and are typically available on the Auction House

This doesn't include the 1 Non-profession specific Fishing mount, Riding Turtle, which is a Trading Card game mount and thus is available online, on eBay or on the Black Market Auction House.

Only 5 professions have no associated mounts - Enchanting, Inscription, and the 3 gathering professions
3 of the new Legion mounts are profession specific, and 1, Steelbound Harness, is not and can be learned by anyone.

Comment by Gart

Blacksmiths can make this mount. The recipe is off the Nighthold raid boss: Tichondrius according to this link.

Since Nighthold opens a couple months later into the expansion this mount won't be obtainable just yet. One can save up mats while waiting in the meantime.

Edit: Since the time of the post the link and dungeon journal no longer specify where it can be obtained. It could still be Tichondrius, or it could be elsewhere.

Comment by DG2020

I just hope the plans will drop from LFR. I've not had any luck with raiding on higher difficulties ever since my guild dissolved back in Cataclysm.

Comment by Manioss

First make unique Core Hound item for 10th anniversary short Event so it will feel really special then give recolored Core Hound to everyone who have BS. For real Blizzard? :<

Comment by thinksammich

I really wonder how anyone can be excited about this, it's a reskin of the Core Hound mount given out during the Anniversary event. I suppose Warlocks might want their Fel core hound? I don't know, I was particularly disappointed by the running animation with this mount. I assume it's going to be relatively cheap to craft or just completely forgotten in the expansion.

Comment by Niixten

It's not fair that leatherworker can craft Elderhorn Riding Harness now and we that have blacksmithing have to wait until nighthold raid to be able to craft Steelbound Harness.

Comment by ricangsxrdude

Yay for BS mount, LAME that it's a recolor from the MC 10th year Core Hound. Why do they do this? If you missed out on the CH, tough luck, you had a whole month and LFG was a 5 second queue for the 40 man. Can I start complaining that I missed out on the Swift Zulian Tiger bc it never dropped for me and then it was removed? Or that I don't have 20 million gold to hope to cap it when it drops on the BMAH? My point is, there's like almost no creativity when it comes to some of these mounts; just recolor them. Yay. Pretty lame IMO. There are plenty of other things that BS could create, I didn't know BS teaches you to spray paint a Core Hound.

Comment by Norgy

Has there been any changes to the recipe in the PTR?

Comment by bolllocks

Does anyone know what the drop rate will be?

Comment by datgrl

It's great that BS, JC, Alch and Eng get crafted mounts that they can sell. And it's a drop for for the pattern, instead of the quest? I'm a leather worker and I'm halfway through the gauntlet that is "Mounting Made Easy", being stuck at the waterfall, which is the 2nd lw mount that is BOP. I guess I'll be leveling up my BS.

Comment by Trollyroller

It is lame that this can be bought and sold and used by anyone, but not the lw is bop and can only be learned by max lw. Laaaaaame!

Comment by FourteeTwo

Can we confirm if this drops from LFR?

Comment by Eaglecreek49

Calling this mount a profession mount is misleading as getting it requires a boss drop item and rng is involved, this mount is simply another boss drop mount wrapped up with extended requirements, its really misleading to advertise the mount the way blizzard did when there isnt alot differences between it and the rng related boss drops from the past, certainly not the same thing as other profession mounts wich could be crafted simply by gathering or making the mats needed to complete them, just another gated legion instance magnet as if the raids are not good enough to bring in players on their own merits, selling this mount might be very profitable if it can be aquired in a reasonable amount of time, it would have been nice to get a blacksmithing mount in line with other profession mount requirements instead of the farming recipe requirement :(
