Stableslarge plotWarlords of Draenor Mount Collecting Guide

For our complete set of Garrison resources and guides; from basics to buildings, followers to missions, and much more, check out our Garrison Hub!

What is it good for?

Mount Collecting - allows you to capture and train special mounts. By questing and completing all the quests and associated achievements for the Stables, you can earn the following mounts: Trained Snarler, Trained Silverpelt, Trained Riverwallow, Trained Rocktusk, Trained Meadowstomper, and Trained Icehoof. The achievements from completing the quests which rewarded those mounts also reward mounts: Armored Frostwolf is a reward from The Stable Master and Armored Frostboar is a reward from Advanced Husbandry (Horde) / Advanced Husbandry (Alliance). These mounts are permanent and do not go away when you change buildings.

Gathering Professions - allows you to stay mounted when gathering or interacting

Questing - increases your mounted speed at Level 3, also allows you to stay mounted while interacting with objects at level 1.

Boar Lasso for Besting a Boar/Besting a Boar: Young Rocktusk found north of Gronn Canyon, east of the Skysea Point flightpath, in Gorgrond.

Clefthoof Lasso for Capturing a Clefthoof/Capturing a Clefthoof: Young Icehoof at 55,20 in Frostfire Ridge. For Alliance, take the road by southwest Gorgrond to Frostfire Ridge. Look for the opening in the large rockslide at 78.9, 56.0 to get through to the rest of the zone.

Elekk Lasso for Entangling an Elekk/Entangling an Elekk: Young Meadowstomper north of Wor’var around 86.2, 41.0 in Nagrand. A particularly tricky part of this one is the large jump it makes by the rock bridge—follow the path to the side instead of trying to follow it. Do not use the outpost mounts such as Telaari Talbuk since the rope will break quickly.

Riverbeast Lasso for Requisition a Riverbeast/Requisition a Riverbeast: Young Riverwallow by Duskfall Island near the Terokkar Refuge flight path in Talador. They run around near water so pick up the Shadow Lily in the Shadowmoon River for the 10 minute Glowstep buff or use a Draenic Water Walking Elixir.

Talbuk Lasso for Taming a Talbuk/Taming a Talbuk: Young Silverpelt north of Embaari Village around 50.8, 29.8 in Shadowmoon Valley. For Horde, continuing on the road from eastern Talador will take you into Shadowmoon Valley.

Wolf Lasso for Wrangling a Wolf/Wrangling a Wolf: Young Snarler on top of Shadowfall Canyon to the east of Oshu’gun around 59.0, 61.0 in Nagrand. To get up to the top, take the path starting at 58.2, 64.8. This quest will make you jump between islands a lot, so it make take a few tries if you fall. Do not use the outpost mounts such as Telaari Talbuk since the rope will break quickly.

Trained Icehoof

Achievement Mounts (2)every

Armored Frostboar is a reward from Advanced Husbandry (Horde) / Advanced Husbandry (Alliance)--killing mobs under the effect of Black Claw of Sethe.

Armored Frostwolf is a reward from The Stable Master--killing mobs under the effect of Garn-Tooth Necklace. You also get the Stable Master title!

Black Claw of Sethe: Damage taken increased by 25%. Movement speed reduced by 25%. This appears when your Stable is level 2 as well as the quest The Black Claw/The Black Claw

Garn-Tooth Necklace: Damage taken increased by 50%. Movement speed reduced by 50%. This appears when your Stable is level 3 as well as the quest Teeth of a Predator/Teeth of a Predator.

Using the whistle provided for the quest daily will give you kill credit.

After completing a daily quest, the whistle disappears from your quest UI, but you can still click on the whistle in your bag to summon a mount to fight an NPC needed for the achievement.

When your Stables hits Level 3, you can go back and obtain the whistles to summon the mounts-in-training again so you can work on Advanced Husbandry and The Stable Master if you still need them. These versions of the whistles are free and come with 3 charges. You do not need to be on the quests to complete these achievements, you just need to go back and obtain the whistle.

I like all the detailed info on a lot of the pages, but I am working with stables on my account so I found this page most helpful. Guide to the Garrison Stables

Comment by 273296

This is very exciting. I cant wait to get my stables! Awesome guide! Thanks guys.

Comment by Dragonninja

are the mounts account bound once you learn them or do all alts need a stable to ride the mounts?

Comment by Samutz

Level 3 blueprints become available as you complete certain achievements across Draenor.

Not sure why this was left out, but the required achievement is Master of Mounts.

Comment by Feato

I absolutely love collecting mounts. Being able to capture train and then learn my own personal mounts, I find the Stables exceptionally rewarding.

Comment by Tertiam

If, like me, you came here to see how long it takes to actually finish training your mount, here you go: Wolf and Elekk- 7 quests, Riverbeast- 9 quests, Boar- 10 quests, Talbuk and Clefthoof- 12 quests. I got this information from the comment by Obtains on the following page. Please go and upvote him if you found this helpful.

Comment by 1399416

Was kind of a letdown that you have to capture specific mounts and can't "choose your color" in the areas it make you go to, but they are cool nonetheless I guess.

Comment by 1401647

As far as the advanced husbandry and stable master go is it a one or the other kind of deal or can you finish both?

It's also somewhat confusing that to unlock level 3 stable you have to finish training all the mounts. But then to do those achievements above you need a level 3 stable to get the necklace which means you've already finished training your mounts. Right?

Am I completely misunderstanding how this works? It seems likely.

Comment by sushibar

Also note that each one of the stables quests, capture, and kill training returns 50 Garrison Resources. That's 1900 GR according to the numbers of quests posted above. Even more if those don't include the 4 capture quests.
Once you have all 4 captured, it's 4 quests per day, 200 GR daily.
The price if a L1 stables is worth it even if you just use it to train the mounts, get the GR, then build something ense on the plot.

Comment by Neptuno

Can you acquire the Claw of Sethe from another person's garrison or is it a resource sink for all interested? Would rather not spend another 2300GR if not needed.

Comment by 1402957

Is it possible to choose the mounts you have on display here?

Comment by fergynator

So i can mine and stay mounted. why cant i skin while mounted? Im assuming you can pick herbs while mounted? Maybe i should change skinning to herb?

Comment by pixelina

I got the stables on my hunter that is BM so I find it quite a challenege to train my mount since my pet vanishes. Imagine doing this as any dps class and not having your weapon. Might have to respec to survival or mm just for these.

Comment by 1394217

all well and good when you are able to get the other dailies for the other beasties... but what happens if all they'll give you is two. and that's it? been like that for a week now for me. EVERY damn day clefthoof and talbuk but nobody else .>.< and they call that dailies? aren't I supposed to get them all or something?

Comment by LightSir

The information on What does it offer? is not correct:
What is said about level 2 should be placed at level 1.
Level 2 should refer the immunity to dazed when mounted in draenor.
~~So the correct~~ perks are:

Level 1: Enables the capture and training of special mounts on Draenor. Also allows you remain mounted while interacting with objects in outdoor Draenor zones.

Level 2: You will no longer get dazed by enemies while riding mounts in outdoor Draenor zones.

Level 3: Increases mount speed in Draenor by 20%.

I must refer that Level 3 perk does NOT stack with paladin/dk mounted speed auras.
If you are a paladin or a dk and you don't care about the mount from The Stable Master (only available at level 3 stables), don't waste your resources and gold building it.

Got new info:
It is possible to complete The Stable Master obtaining Armored Frostwolf by going to a friend's level 3 stables and looting Garn-Tooth Necklace from it.
You will get credit for the achievement as long as the necklace stays in your bags while you kill all the listed mobs (my friend with level 2 stables just tested it).
Saves you 1200 resources plus 1500 gold (500 from the upgrade, 1000 from the blueprint) if you want the mount but not the speed perk - like a paladin/dk or if you will trash stables for another building.
Enjoy while it lasts!

As of Dec 15, this is no longer possible :s
Stables: Corrected an issue where players could complete The Stable Master achievement without owning a Level 3 Stable.

Comment by Marhault

I just completed all the training for all six mounts today along with the two achievements for the other two "hidden" mounts. If you are like me, you can switch out this building for another one after you have completed all of this if you don't really care about the mounted perks.

Comment by somnomania

I'd like to add a note that if you have an active bodyguard from your garrison with you on the training quests, they will disappear when you mount up on one of the training mounts, similar to hunter pets. I took Vivianne to Nagrand with me the other day, thinking she'd be able to help in lieu of my pet, but she disappeared at the same time. Even for a BM hunter, the enemies aren't impossible, just fairly slow and tedious on your own. Be helpful to other people doing the quests! I've started helping out if I happen to be passing by, especially if the other person's mount has the ! over its head that means they have the Claw of Sethe (or the Garn-tooth Necklace, I assume), because that means their mount is slower and takes more damage. As long as they initiate combat with the mob, or you're also on a training mount (Horde or Alliance makes no difference), they'll get the kill for the quest.

Comment by Cartouche

Am I missing something totally obvious here?

I thought we were supposed to get the training quests on a daily basis. I got training quests for two days after first capturing the mounts. I got the Black Claw yesterday after upgrading to level 2 and today no dailies or any way to get training whistles. I've talked to all the NPCs in the stable.

Comment by Dayis

Every day, you get a new Training quest at the Stables for each of the mounts that you captured. These quests all require you to kill a specific mob in Draenor while mounting your mount in training. To mount your mount in training, use the provided whistle. Beware that when fighting a mob on your mount, your mount takes the damage, not you.

The mobs to kill are the same for all mounts and they all come in the same order:

Rakkiri;
Great-Tusk;
Riplash;
Gezz'ran;
Bulbapore;
Gorian Beast-Lasher;
Darkwing Roc;
Moth of Wrath;
Thundercall;
Ironbore;
Karak the Great Hunter;
Maimclaw.

Clefthoof and Talbuk training quests go all the way from Rakkiri to Maimclaw, while:

Boar training quests skip Rakkiri and Great-Tusk;
Riverbeast training quests skip Rakkiri, Great-Tusk, and Riplash;
Elekk and Wolf training quests skip Rakkiri, Great-Tusk, Riplash, Gezz'ran, and Bulbapore.

BM Hunter here. Ticked off that my pet disappears when on the stable mounts. Came as a surprise seeing as how my pet can be out when I'm on a regular mount. Doesn't make sense to me, pet is beast master's main form of damage.

Comment by perculia

I've added some information to the guide based on feedback to spell out the order of quests a bit more including coordinates. I've also updated the perk section with details on the Level 2 and 3 perks that aren't included in the in-game tooltips. Hope it's helpful!

Comment by Ashazzar

I'll add a note here that having someone else along always helps...and they don't have to be on a mount-in-training to help kill whichever mob; you'll still get credit. I've helped various people out this way when I was done with a particular mob, and they've always gotten credit. So if you're having trouble with one, invite a friend to help!

Comment by 457435

Here are your TomTom coords for all the related mobs.

Comment by Draewind

When you build a Stables (Level 1) you gain these abilities:

Enables the capture and training of special mounts on Draenor. Also allows you remain mounted while interacting with objects in outdoor Draenor zones.

These abilities are in your Spellbook & Abilities Frame under the Spellbook tab (bottom) and General tab (top right). As you search through you will find Silver Dollar Club.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you upgrade to Stables (Level 2) you gain an additional ability:

You will no longer get dazed by enemies while riding mounts in outdoor Draenor zones.

And the spell listed in your Spellbook is Dragoon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you upgrade your Stables (Level 3) you gain an additional ability:

Increases mount speed in Draenor by 20%.

And the spell listed in your Spellbook is Master Scout.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOVEMENT SPEED
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hear discussions and talk of whether or not this speed buff stacks with others, and I realize that they, like me, did not notice the one of most incredibly important Patch Notes for the expansion. Everyone is up in arms over flying in Draenor, and no one has even realized how slowly they are riding in Draenor.

The NEW approach to "Movement Speed" (Speed Buffs) is a terrible NERF that I have noticed and wondered about for weeks. It never made sense to me until I read the LAST section of:

The Iron Tide: 6.0.2 Patch Notes
(http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/15682579#movement_speed)

Take for instance a character that had a racial or class speed buff of 5%
(the two that come to mind are much more robust Crusader Aura/On a Pale Horse),
a guild perk speed buff (Mount Up - all guilds have it today) of 10%,
and let's add the Stables (Level 3) buff of Master Scout which equals 20%.

So we'll use three buffs - 5%, 10%, and 20% (for this example we will consider them all to be stackable).
Much of the confusion lies in the fact that speed is measure in percent of normal running speed. Walking speed is 40% and when adjusted for in-game distance it is equivalent to 5.784 mph and running of course would be 100% and 14.46 mph.

The Maximums are:
An unbuffed character Running@100% (14.46 mph),
Journeyman Riding allows Riding@200% (28.92 mph),
and
Master Riding allows Flying@410% (59.29 mph) .

------------------------------- MoP --------------------------------------

In Mist of Pandaria (MoP) speed buffs would be calculated multipicatively against the base speed then added to that speed so:
Running:
100% x .05 (05%) = +05%
100% x .10 (10%) = +10%
100% x .20 (20%) = +20%
100% + 05% + 10% (Stables buff is only mounted) = 115% (16.63mph)

Riding:
200% x .05 (05%) = +10%
200% x .10 (10%) = +20%
200% x .20 (20%) = +40%
200% + 10% + 20% + 40% = 270% (39.04mph)

Flying:
410% x .05 (05%) = +20.5%
410% x .10 (10%) = +41.0%
410% x .20 (20%) = +82.0%
410% + 20.5% + 41.0% + 82.0% = 553.5% (80.04mph)

------------------------------- WoD --------------------------------------
Today speed buffs would be calculated additively and only the highest speed buff is used:
Running:
100% + 05% = 105%
100% + 10% = 110%
100% + 20% = 120%
The highest buff is +110% (Stables buff is only mounted)
110% (15.91mph) ===> -5% (-0.72mph) in speed from MoP.

Riding:
200% + 05% = 205%
200% + 10% = 210%
200% + 20% = 220%
The highest buff is +220%
220% (31.81mph) ===> -50% (-7.23mph) in speed from MoP.

If they ever let us fly again.
They have at least slowed it down.
Be certain that even the folks from Irvine can handle it.

Flying:
200% + 05% = 415%
200% + 10% = 420%
200% + 20% = 430%
The highest buff is +430%
430% (62.18mph) ===> -123.5% (-17.86mph) in speed from MoP.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In MoP, I was flying along at 451% with Mount Up (410% x 1.1 = 451%)
today in WoD I am flying along at 420% with Mount Up (410% + 10% = 420%)

Just think, by the time they give us flying our max speed may be 250% ... just to make sure folks living in Irvine can keep up.
(By the way, Irvine is a city built in the valley where I was born and raised. A population in that valley of 3k is now 3Mil. I am "Old and Slow".)

Comment by 976513

It's not mentioned there, but you can also use the Azure Water Strider mount to get the Riverbeast. That's how I got mine.

Comment by kaliila

So when i have reached Stables Level 3, got all my mounts and achievements, can I then remove it and choose another building and still be able to use the mounts?

Comment by Leodegrance

So it seems your no longer able to pick up items in a friends garrison. Just tried it today (15th Dec) and while I can see them in all their sparkling magnificence, you can't actually interact with them. For shame, for shame.

Comment by Graysmith

It should be pointed out that the training mounts allow you to cast on the move, which makes a huge difference for mages, warlocks and hunters who have to do these quests without the help of their sidekicks.

Comment by Jawneh

Just to note for everyone, if you get the Black Claw and go for the first achievement for the Armored Frostboar (Advanced Husbandry I think it was), you can go kill all the monsters for the achievement without picking up the dailies. Just have all whistles from your dailies in your inventory and go kill them. I haven't finished training any of the mounts yet, but I got the Armored Boar. ^^

Comment by JimboTCB

The training quests for all six mounts follow the same order, but start at different points in the quest chain. So if you want to minimise the amount of travelling each day, you can delay starting some of the shorter mounts' quest chains until the longer ones catch up to them.

The full quest sequence is as follows:

Rakkiri - Clefthoof and Talbuk training start here
Great-Tusk
Riplash - Boar training starts here
Gezz'ran - Riverbeast training starts here
Bulbapore
Gorian Beast-Lasher - Elekk and Wolf Training start here
Darkwing Roc
Moth of Wrath
Thundercall
Ironbore
Karak the Great Hunter
Maimclaw

So the easiest way to complete the training would be:

1) On days 1 and 2 pick up the Clefthoof and Talbuk Training quests only
2) On day 3 pick up Clefthoof, Talbuk and Boar Training quests only
3) On days 4 and 5 pick up Clefthoof, Talbuk, Boar and Riverbeast Training quests only
4) From day 6 onwards all your training quests each day will be targetting the same mob, so you can complete all six together without travelling around, just park in one spot, wait on respawns and complete all six one after the other

Additionally, if you grab the Black Claw of Sethe from the stables starting from day 6 (except on the day when Darkwing Roc is the target, as this isn't part of the achievement), you can complete Advanced Husbandry at the same time, and as you're killing all the achievement mobs with each mount on the same day it makes it a lot easier to keep track of which targets you've killed with which mounts.

Done this way you'll complete Advanced Husbandry and Master of Mounts at the same time on day 12, and all that's left to do is build your level 3 stables and kill all the targets again using the Garn-Tooth Necklace for The Stable Master

Comment by lordthom

If you are stuck on progressing with Advanced Husbandry and The Stable Master for example on 5/6 on beast-lasher,
Remove your WMD File under catch in your WoW folder. This worked for most people. It will look like all your progress is gone but it wont, just kill them with all 6 mounts again and tadaa, achievement :)

Comment by OhWhyNot

the comments of mend pet and changing to marksman helped. I was able to finish up all the ones I could not using beast master. thanks

Comment by 1425695

Why am I unable to dismount while on the training mount? Or, rather how do I dismount without having to log out and back in or hearth home?

Comment by axatan

If you want to get the achievement mount Armored Frostboar along with the other 6 mounts, you can hold on to the mount quests in Nagrand until you can build level 2 stables.

This way, you can complete the first round of Nagrand quests using the Black Claw of Sethe. By the time you get the 6 stables mounts, you would also get the achievement Advanced Husbandry/Advanced Husbandry and the associated mount Armored Frostboar in one go. Of course, you can always complete this achievement at a later time, but this results in some repetition as you will have to kill the required mobs a second time.

Unfortunately, this does not work for the Armored Frostwolf as it requires Garn-Tooth Necklace (from a level 3 stables), which can only be obtained after all 6 mounts have been trained.

Comment by axatan

Don't forget to stable your Flying Cloud: http://imgur.com/DkiHzMb

Comment by 1430696

I'm not sure if this has been answered or not but, I'll ask anyway. When you have trained and received all the mounts from your stables and then you get the necklace, do you use your own mounts to go through the list of targets or do you use the ones from the stable master? I have been reading a bunch of articles and forums and I am still a bit confused.

Comment by 109026

Sadly it appears that skinning is not affected by the Silver Dollar club and dismounts you.

Comment by grammieof9

I have this quest done and have my level 3 stables, taking hubby out to run shotgun for me because some of these animals are very slow in movement...the best suggestion I have found for the river beast is to get one of those glowing white lilies that are down in Shadowmoon valley and fly to where the beasts are ( you get 10 minutes) and run him with you being slightly off shore so you don't aggro the frogs...after several failed attempts without it, this trick worked like a charm...once tamed, their run is funny..those chubby little legs running for all they are worth.
Elekk for me was a challenge as it can jump in the craziest of places....but run to the left of him and he is tamable fast without retakes..once tamed..he is the second slowest pet in training with the river beast being #1 and both are big scardy cats!
Also for the wolf...lot's of jumping and watch for a tree in the way near the end...go to the other side of the tree and jump, it won't break the rope and soon after, voila, your wolf!

Comment by wowilovehead

All these quests and achievements were actually really easy (tho very repetitive) on a low geared frost mage. Even without my pet and both the (cursed) items in my inventory (which honestly I could not even really tell were there) all I was doing was standing still spamming frostbolt. Maimclaw is the only one that ever killed my mount before I realized you just have to walk backwards the whole fight casting (which made it super easy also).

Comment by Dbarr74

Am I supposed to have more than 1 quest? I'm a level 100 paladin, i built level 1 stables yesterday and updated it to level 2 and only had the daily to tame the talbuk. I didnt do it yesterday, did it today, but I got no other quests available, is this normal?

Comment by AlienRope

Not sure if information is on here but will post anyway. The mounts in training does damage(around 1k-3k), parrys, and dodges. I believe it does heal as well but its a little amount for both you and the mount like 50+ heals on average.

I recommend doing the achievements last for both the black claw of sethe and the garn-tooth necklace at the same time (get all 6 whistles after you are done training them). This way you will not lose track of which mount in training has beaten which monster with which items (claw or necklace). In the achievements tab in WoW, it does say how many you have and what monsters you need to complete but will not tell you which mounts in training have killed which monster. It will just say 3/6 have defeated moth (for example). This also helps you obtain the achievement by doing the monsters once with all 6 mounts (which is 6 times per monster, 6 monsters = 36 times) rather than doing 6 for the claw and another 6 for the necklace (which is 12 times per monster, 6 monsters total = 72 times). Which would you rather do? The obvious shorter and faster one, of course!

The necklace and the claw both stack up rather than just having to do this one at a time. This is confirmed when you have both in your bag and then hover your mouse over your mount in training icon. There will be both claw and necklace displayed when the icons pop up over the icon. The whistles only have 3 charges, but once it is done or if you delete them, you can get them immediately after disposing of them. You do not have to wait a day to train the mounts like you originally did to get the final account based mounts. This charge, also, helps you keep track of which mount did the monster you are currently on. Example, talbuk has 2 charges and wolf has 3, therefore the wolf had not done the monster you are currently on and the talbuk already did that monster. After you have used all 3 charges (should take one charge per monster in Talador), you can go back to get the whistles again to do the next 3. Therefore, it should only take you once (twice if you include first getting the whistles) to go back to your garrison to get the whistles (unless you fail on one, of course).

I am a BM hunter, I understand the frustration with not having hunter pets help attack the monsters. Think of your mount- in-training as your pet. You can not use kill command or revive/heal (I know it says you can in other comments but you can't now). You can also use exhilaration to revive you and the mount-in-training when low in health. I find the best strategy is to concussive shot and /or binding shot to slow it down and stop it in its tracks. The key thing to getting the monsters down is to be up close to the monsters so the mounts can attack with you, rather than trying to run around and slow the monster down. I have tried the latter strategy and failed numerous times (without the debuffs!). I found the former strategy faster than the latter one.

Good luck, hope this helps!

Just a random tidbit of information: Be careful if someone else is fighting one of the quest mobs near you, while you are mounted on your mount-in-training while waiting your turn. If they fail, and their mount "runs away in fear", yours will also. Does not matter if they are horde/alliance, in group or out- if you are mounted and they fail, so will you.

This matters because of whistle charges. For those of you who, like me, went back to knock off the rest of (or all of) Advanced Husbandry / The Stable Master all at once, the whistles you obtain from Keegan Firebeard (or whoever for Horde) only have 3 charges. So, this could potentially screw up your flow of taking care of 3 parts of both achievements at once before having to return to your garrison for a new whistle to complete the rest.

If it isn't obvious already, I'm only posting this because it happened to me and was frustrating that I needed to go back and get a new whistle early, then my charges count were all screwed up... I don't know, OCD or something. Just thought I'd let you guys know that it can happen.

Any tips on capturing the icehoof a little easier? The rope keeps breaking when I'm at the tree area :(.

Comment by Prankz

Question if I may. I never researched the mounts before I started so I got an issue I'm not sure how to fix. I didn't take the Black Claw of Sethe with me until someone told me what it was for. How do I get to redo the old quest to complete achievement?

Comment by Bethia

I completed training all mounts to upgrade the Stables to level 3. This is also when I pick up the Garn-tooth necklace. However, when I go to one of the targets (e.g., Thundercaller) on one of my (trained) mounts, the mount disappears. How can I get the Stable Master title when all my mounts have been trained?

Comment by 1119822

anyone know what the respawn timers are for the quest targets, like Great-Tusk and Riplash? I have to kill those for two different quests on the same day, and I was just wondering how long it would take to do that.

Comment by ArkAngel00

BM/MM hunter here....finally gave up just trying to defeat the mobs....couldn't keep the dang mount from running off even in MM Spec. Actually, I wouldn't want to ride ANY of these ugly beasts in any case. Good Luck with this grind....not worth it in my estimation.

Comment by Hairband

Is anyone else baffled WHY Wowhead is not showing a map of where the mobs are? Example: you need Rocktusk. WHERE is he and WHY is there no map of the mob's location? I know how to use Wowhead. I know how to click and find Mankrik's Wife. Why. Why on earth do I have a quest and nothing here at all says where the mob is that I need?

The guide is useless. All I want to know is where the mobs are. I can follow a linear quest line without a crummy uselessly circular "guide."

I want my Wowhead back. :(

Comment by jrichards63

Honestly I've looked...but WHERE can you find out how many times a mount has been trained? The achievement doesn't keep count. Is there somewhere else to look to see how many times it's been trained? There has to be something somewhere...

Comment by 1106042

at max lvl with 660+ gear carrying both cla2 and neckace while doing these is a joke.

Comment by ZeroOrigin

i have a good question ,so if i have level 3 stables do my fly mounts get %20 in dreanor while i fly at new patch ?

Comment by 1524384

After you get all the mounts, do you have to keep the Stables in your garrison to keep and use the pets or can you replace the building with something else?

Comment by 1234978

I did the talbuk and the clefthoof. but for some reason i don't have any more quests, and i dont have any in my quest log. what do i do now? there are no new quests at my stables.

help me please!

Comment by Dameiondark

Something is for sure bugged This is the second day in a row that I have no dailies from my Lv 2 stable I have captured all 6 mounts and done 3-5 training quests on each but now for the last 2 days I am not being offered any dailies from either of the 2 NPC's in the stable .. Any info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Comment by Temilis

Do they need to be done on consecutive days?

Comment by 1389951

Some thoughts for anyone doing these now (and how I wish I did them on my main).

1- Stables Level 1: you will be sent around Draenor to lasso the mounts. If you already completed Draenor Pathfinder be careful not to fly too high as you can easily break the lasso. Fly only when you want to catch up to the mount in case you feel you're dragging behind.

2- Stables Level 2: Pick up the Black Claw of Sethe from the entrance of the stables and just keep it in your bags. While some suggest you wait to do the achievement in the end with the Garn-Tooth Necklace, you will be going to Nagrand anyway for the dailies, so might as well get some out of the way. However, I would suggest you write down which mount-in-training has killed which monsters, this way when you've trained them all, you know what you got left.

3- Gathering Professions: this may be quite outdated (possibly obvious), but it's typically best to have the stables on a character that has at least one gathering profession since it makes gathering much easier. Anyone flying around Tanaan for the Felblight?

4- Mage Tower, Level 3/Spirit Lodge, Level 3: I'm guessing this will already be level 3, but in any case, having a waystone to Nagrand makes this achievement much easier. Since once at level 2, you will be completing 6 dailies in Nagrand. If you don't have it, I've found the best flight path is to Nivek Lee.

5- Mount-in-training attack: At this stage you might not need to worry about it, but I figured since I'm training them I might as well have these mounts do something. You get the "pet bar" attack once you summon your mount, just click it and the mount will assist you (not that you need it).

I know I should've done this on my main, it would have made my life so much easier as I started with mining and skinning. Currently these are very easy to complete, just thought some additional detail to max level toons would be nice.

Hope this helps, and good luck with your mounts.

PS: Thanks for the guide. :)

To everyone who is still experiencing the bug that makes your dailies disappear, even though you are level 100 with level 2 stables:

Go into your town hall, log out, and log back in.

Sounds stupidly simple? Well, this is the only thing that fixed that problem for me after weeks of no dailies.

Comment by sharpyx1

If you find yourself not getting any daily quests appearing in your Stables, I found a little fix!

Walk your character into the Stables building plot and then relog (log out and login), this will force the quests to pop up upon your character relogging within the Stables.

I would like to add that "Wrangling" a wolf only takes up about half of the lasso time or at least appears to before it is done.

Comment by 1666007

Can you use the mounts outside of Draenor? I have looked through the forum and everywhere I could think of but never found the answer.

Comment by StillWaters

Do the daily quests stop spawning after you have got all the 6 mounts? I am not getting any dailies for last month or 2. I have tried re logging in stables, town hall and other places in my garrison and outside, but to no avail.

Please help.

Comment by GamerSiyya

UPDATE:
Was still having issues with quests spawning. Submitted a ticket. Was told by Blizzard GM that: If I'm level 100, have Stable level 2, and am still not getting the quests to train my mounts, to try standing in my stable yard, logging out of the game completely, like all the way out, exit the game. Wait a minute, then log back in. This worked for me. I had to log out/in in my stables for several days to finish all the training but it worked.

Original Post:
For anyone who is wondering why they stopped receiving the quests:
1) Remove the Claw of Sethe from your bags (drop it on the ground).
2) Re-log
3) Suddenly the blue exclamation marks come back

I got the talbuk taming quest and the clefthoof taming and suddenly stopped getting the quests. It took me three days to realize it wasn't some time-gated thing and the quests were bugged.
*Disclaimer: I play Alliance. I cannot confirm this works for Horde.

Comment by mattyfresh

how can you tell where you are progress wise on these? i started way back in the day and came back to this, no idea how many i have left

Comment by amciotola

This has to be the longest quest I've ever done. Sometimes my NPCs go two or three days without giving up the next set of quests. I'm a bit on the impatient side, too.

Great guide, thank you! I absolutely adore the icehoof!

Comment by Techhead7890

I definitely think the main advantage of this building is the gathering and mount collection. If you're just looking to travel by any which way, the portals at the Mage Tower / Spirit Lodge Level 3 (or Spirit Lodge) are going to be more helpful, even beyond the speed increase. Especially now the content is over, that the portals are at L1 and don't require any achievements, and not everyone has flying Pathfinder.
But as with most things in the Garrison, nothing is particularly mandatory so feel free to swap things out if they aren't getting you what you want!
