You just need a clean Yak and good fortune unto you.

Ten years. I have faithfully brushed yak for ten years.

Curious if this works for the Grand Expedition Yak Mount Reins of the Grand Expedition Yak

Comment by jjanchan

UPDATE: This Toy was changed such that the visual appearance will only be present while mounted on a yak mount, and will not persist when dismounted!

Using this Toy requires that you are mounted on a yak mount. It causes a splash animation, and grants you the Portable Yak Wash buff for 15 minutes. The visual effect of this buff is to turn it into a unique "wet yak" model.

Some further details:

This Toy can be purchased from Mistweaver Xia on the Timeless Isle for 500 Timewarped Badges.

This is only available for sale (i.e. the vendor is active) while Mists of Pandaria Timewalking is active.

The Toy is not soulbound, and thus can be bought/sold on the Auction House or traded!
This Toy can be used while mounted on Blonde Riding Yak or Grey Riding Yak.
Using this Toy when mounted on Grand Expedition Yak provides an error message stating that you can't risk getting the grummles wet!
The buff disappears after you dismount ~~and summoning ANY mount after dismounting (including Grand Expedition Yak!) will resume the "wet yak" appearance of the mount~~.

If you mount other mounts while the 15 minute buff persists, they will take on the appearance of the wet yak. Activating a mount capable of flying in a permitted area will result in a flying yak mount.

The yaks must not be underestimated.

Information in quoted section was from before the change to how the toy functions. See updated section below.

You keep the Yak form even when you shift into another mount, such as with Obsidian Nightwing or Sandstone Drake. It is quite hilarious to see, as the Yak remains below the shifted mount. So you are in your shifted form riding on a Yak.

Party members cannot mount on the Obsidian Nightwing or Sandstone Drake while the buff is active & the mounts appear over the Yak.

Sadly, Druid Travel forms do not seem to gain the same benefit. The Yak is not visible with them.

Screenshots are now up.

UPDATE: Something has changed. Dismounting from the Yak after using the toy is making the buff disappear. Well, it was fun while it lasted I suppose.

No more flying yaks. =(

If you don't play on MoP or don't know much about Pandaria:

The fastest way to get to the Timeless Isle is take quest from Chromie and use quest item that teleport you exactly to Timeless Isle (balcony at the top of the Palace of Mogu'shan).

After using this, the moment I moved the buff fell off of me.

Comment by MadaVoid

toy is bugged

Comment by sushibar

Requires yak mount, but NOT the Grand Expedition version, so I wasted my coins, since that's the only Yak mount I have..

Comment by Jeolene

Toy is broken, it does nothing, but the cool down is active. Thank you, blizz.

Comment by Errlang2

This is the most useless toy and a seriously lazy design that could have been named anything else plus usable on any mount. It's only usable if you are riding a Yak and all it does is leave sparkles on the ground behind your mount that are hardly noticeable. Oh.....and If you dismount you loose the buff. Save your badges unless you're a completionist.

Comment by yuriken

When used while riding on the Grey Riding Yak, it changes the color of the yak as well. This seems to be a way to do a recolor of the same model, similar to what the Xiwyllag ATV or X-995 Mechanocat offer with paint recolors in Mechagon.

So, in addition to the sparkles, there are notable color changes: the fabrics on the yak become a primarily purple/white hue (rather than red/blue/gold and some purple), and the yak's fur changes (the torso is lighter, and the head's fur and horns are darker).

I don't have the Blonde Riding Yak to test.

Comment by PoeticDiscord

I'm sitting on my Kafa Yak mount, but the toy still says I need to be riding a yak. WTF?
