WoW Q&A - Free Wandering Ancient Mount Confirmed for Patch 9.0.5

PTR Posted 2021/02/20 at 3:09 PM by Neryssa

BlizzConline 2021 World of Warcraft Q&A Panel

Update 3/9: The Wandering Ancient is slowly being rolled out to players on live servers for Patch 9.0.5. If you haven't gotten your Wandering Ancient yet, you just have to be patient!

Wandering Ancient Delivery Slightly Delayed

How do you get the Wandering Ancient mount?

John Hight: That's a great question! So, little background: Last year, when we were finishing up Shadowlands, our Art team were ahead of schedule and we decided it would be awesome to give a gift back to all our players and build a mount for them. And so, the Art team put together some cool ideas, brainstormed some things they wanted, and we literally put it to a vote, and let our community decide what they would like us to make for them. The winner was, the Wandering Ancient!

So the requirement for the Wandering Ancient really is, you gotta have Shadowlands! We will have the Wandering Ancient in the 9.0.5 patch update, and that will be next month! I won't tell you the exact date, but you can probably guess it is pretty close, but we want to make sure the patch is ready to put it out.

We're really excited for you to be able to ride it around, it is a really awesome mount.

Comment by AeroziaYaaaay... stupid tree in march... woooooComment by WasselinWe could have had a flying book.Comment by HakuboxRemovedComment by RaivhenSO fugly. Let's burn it down like the World Tree! Lol. Petition for the Slime Kitty!Comment by HyperCynicI'm a troll who changes people's comments like that's somehow appropriate.Comment by NachoslayerI'm a troll who changes people's comments like that's somehow appropriate.Comment by WishbladeIt's hilarious and sad how some people continue to be so upset about a free mount.

Of course I'm biased, so I'll be over here happily waiting for my derpy tree and caterpillar companion.Comment by bshild94So it costs 40$ then if you don't own shadowlandsComment by ChaxtonI would've preferred a large caterpillar with a little tree companion, but oh well. Ancient really didn't turn out in a way that looks good to me, so I'll be shelving it along with most of my other mounts. At least they didn't give it wings and make it fly.Comment by MagemushroomSo we get an Ashenvale tree with 2021 curves.Comment by MakolaniWe could have an interesting mount, but the druid and NE community ruined it. Thank everyone who voting for this.Comment by KelrasSO fugly. Let's burn it down like the World Tree! Lol. Petition for the Slime Kitty!Comment by Xerno(Inset salty comment about favourite mount not winning here)

Seriously, this mount is perfect and I love it, great job Blizz, can't wait to get him!Comment by kaleestrazaWhat I want to know is if I can still obtain it if I buy Shadowlands far in the future... Say, once it's necessary to support an actually good expansionComment by Reaper666soo next month patch 9.0.5, any idea when 9.1?Comment by SarthoriusAll the whiners complaining their mount didn't win. Seems to me they're not Tolkien lovers, AT ALL, as it seems to me that the majority did go ffor the tree mainly because of the TLOTR vibes.

Kittens we already have tons in the game, nerubian or the book I'd understand, but the kitten in second place... Those people just went for it's 'probable cuteness'?Comment by JaceRaifelAll the whiners complaining their mount didn't win.

The caterpillar is unique and would most likely mean a new skeleton. The cat while "interesting" is just another saber.

The tree is a big mess that can't fly and will not be able to go through doors. Also because of the height you wont be able to get up from water if you have waterwalking. Making it even detrimental to use. Totally worthless and people will realize that 15 min after they get it. Then they will switch to an actually useful mount and forget about the ancient. Great job people.Comment by SoifonBook or caterpillar should have won. The book is small and can fly, great mount traits. The caterpillar is unique and would most likely mean a new skeleton.
