This one took a long time. Pretty sure I got them all...

Pandas are coming along nicely and should be done in time for the 7.3 update to this (and I'll probably have enough mistakes pointed out by then ;-)

Comment by AmberLemur

Wow, what an in-depth and easy to follow guide! There's a lot to consider even just for mount/pet collecting and this really helps. Will have to use it later in time to get what I'm missing :) good job!

Comment by Renuts

This is some tremendous work you have done here, Great job!

Comment by ldene

Where does the achievement "They're over 900!" mentioned near the bottom of the guide come from? I can't find a trace of it on wowhead.

Comment by jjanchan

Truly a labour of love! Thanks for pouring so much time and effort into this. As a fellow guide writer, I briefly thought about tackling all of the mounts in one guide, but with my other guides to maintain I decided against it.

You've decided to do both mounts AND pets in one guide?! Kudos!

Comment by Shadowlord675

Im a little upset i can upvote this guide once only! This is an amazing and in-depth guide, Thank you so much!

Comment by emrie01

This is an amazing guide! Although, regarding your recommendations for the human paladin with engineering and tailoring, I'd like to remind you and everyone else that mounts and pets are account-wide. Meaning you can do it with any class, and race, and then create another character who would have access to the exclusives.

I'd recommend making a Druid instead because we have a LOT of utility. Instant flight form, aquatic form, all 3 roles, can teleport any time to our order hall with lots of portals to everywhere. If you want, you can also have a human who will be your rep grinding guy. Hopefully Blizzard one day decides that humans can be Druids as well.

This is amazing, it's gonna give me a lot of enjoyable reading material. Thank you Nirnaeth for your dedication and fantastic work!

Comment by Epytropos

I was seriously considering attempting a guide like this when I came across yours, and it's worlds better than I even realized one could be. Amazing work, and thank you.

oooh I'm so happy to see a current guide! The ones I've been using have not been updated past 7.1.5 sadly.
Although already there's a new mount out not on this guide yet (latest store mount)

I haven't scrutinized every tab yet, what mount is it that Alliance can get that puts them 1 over Horde?

Also, as a side note, the profession mounts do seem to count toward your "on a single character" even if that character can't actually summon them. Presumably because you could use them if you swapped professions. Unlike class-specific ones like pally chargers. (I do get the point you're making to save time and effort if you want to min/max or streamline your collection efforts- I collect mounts on my hunter but log into my pally on a regular basis to bump my achieve tracker up)

Now, if only reading guides helped with RNG.....that fox mount is proving extremely elusive!

The new Azeroth map has thrown out all the pins... Hope to get it fixed quickly but it is a big job remapping them all. :(

Comment by aleklejawa

What a guide! Thanks so much for your hard work <3

Comment by jjanchan

One thing I should request is that there be a section with Mounts and Pets divided into organized tabs based on source. While the leveling plan works well if you are starting from scratch, it's nice to be able look for specific mounts and pets by category.

Comment by Zovesta

Herculean effort! Fantastic job compiling all of this. :) I was wondering if you'd do a "vanilla-specific" collecting guide, but this'll have to do. It's definitely a handy checklist! Thank you for making all these wonderful guides.

Comment by Azire

I was writing a guide, and then I found this. You cover a lot of what I was going to cover, so well done.

I have to ask why you say you need a Worgen, Goblin, and Pandaren. If it is just for the pets they can buy, those pets are tradable and able to be purchased off of the Auction House. Unless of course, I am missing something.

On the Classes you say you need, why is it Warlock/Demon Hunter? I assume this means both gain access to the same pet?

To further optimize your suggestions, the only combination that works for Race/Class is having a Human Paladin as your Main (obviously), a Worgen Druid, Pandaren Shaman, and a Goblin Warlock.

This also allows great potential for unlocking transmog across all of your characters. You can transfer anything that's BoE from your Main to unlock the transmog on your Alts. Paladin for Plate, Shaman for Mail, Druid for Leather. If your Warlock is Goblin, it won't be able to receive the items. This could miss out on some weapon unlocks though, I'm not sure and will have to verify.

A Goblin Warlock Alt does allow you to get the Double Agent achievement, but if you can bypass the Goblin restriction, a Blood Elf Demon Hunter would get you the same achievement much faster. Could be useful as your Double Agent character won't be receiving any support from your other characters.

That would all allow you to make your Cloth wearer Alliance and give you access to unlocking Transmog and those achievements. To keep with a different race for each class, I like the flavor of a Draenei Priest, for lore reasons.

I recommend playing on the realm Stormrage as it has a majority Alliance population allowing for more Raiding and end game content/achievements. It is also a PvE realm, so you won't have to worry about World PvP while you're out collecting.

All in all, extremely nice guide! Achievement optimization is beautiful.

Comment by SoulsaltsMJK

For someone who farms as much as I do for vanity items in WoW, this guide makes me very happy.
You are, without a doubt, my biggest hero on wowhead.com. Thank you Nirnaeth101!

Comment by Angelhearth

Can't find "They grow up so fast" a quest I've got some problems with ATM, as I can't seem to get the daily from my pet.

Comment by Polydeukis

Amazing guide! Thank you very much.

I saw Sea Turtle 2 times, 1-9 and 70-80.

And there aren't the Blood Elf Paladin mounts.

Comment by Vikinng

Holy Smokes, Great Work, Your The Man, Thank You So Much, This is So Complete,Incredible Job,Love it!

Comment by decompiler

By the way, you can use the Sea Turtle from level 1.

It's base speed is the same as normal character walking speed, but if you're in a guild you'll get the 10% speed boost from Mount Up Mount Up, so there's a slight advantage to riding the turtle until you hit 20! :D

Would love to see this guide updated for Battle for Azeroth! ^^ Very nice work.

Comment by cgilm2526

Is there an easy way to audit this list and compare to the mounts I already have so I can eliminate those and focus on the one's I need?

Comment by Nirnaeth101

Bit of an update now that the Mists guide is done. Hoping the breakdowns by source and putting things into big Tabs will be another useful way to look at things in a post 7.3.5 Scaling world...

Comment by kovalenko

incredible work done here. Very useful even for BFA ! *collector's instinct intensifies*

Comment by Eruanne

What about the Murloc Fairy and the know it all achievement? :(

Comment by onvyr

what a guide! i'll be sure to keep checking this for many, many months (perhaps years)!

thanks a lot and please keep this updated whenever you find something juicy to add!

Comment by gunsotsu

the achievement for mount collecting was changed in legion to say "that can be used by one character" due to the 36 new mounts they added in game that are class specific (assumedly)

unfortunately, this means a huge loss on the total mount count

none of the extra race mounts count
having the horde and alliance chopper now only counts as having one mount
goblin and gnomish engineering mounts lost half their points due to not being able to use them at the same time
profession only mounts (mainly tailoring and engineering) only count on one toon.
to make things even more frustrating, they also added profession only mounts in warlords for the rest of the professions..so theres more points lost
mounts that are rep gated (there are a few i believe) only count on the toon that has the rep
mounts that are not account bound (i think there are a couple still from special events removed from game) do not count except on the toon that acquired them

however, bfa saved the day as now ALL VICIOUS SADDLE MOUNTS AND PVP MOUNTS ARE ACCOUNT WIDE.

currently sitting at 225/250

I love your guides but I got to admit I find this guide a bit confusing now that its combined with toys :/
