Looks entirely badass.

(Keep in mind the effect on the wings probably just looks a bit odd in the 3D Viewer.)

Comment by Meggle

I am legitimately surprised they used a raven mount for this! Happy though, the dread ravens are pretty BA.

Comment by Wuatdah

Why make the Glory mount a flying mount, when you cant fly in Draenor?

Comment by Netherspark

This fel-touched raven is purchasable for 150,000 Apexis Crystal, from Dawn-Seeker Krisek in Tanaan Jungle.

Previously on the PTR, this was the reward from the Glory of the Hellfire Raider achievement, and the Infernal Direwolf came from Apexis Crystals. The two mounts have now switched places.

Comment by 109478

This... thing, is absolutely hideous.

I wouldn't waste the crystals on it.

Comment by Graknak

Didn't fancy the infernal wolf much for another apexis grind, but this corrupted version of the collectors edition mount? Heck yeah! Plenty of time to "casually" hit the 60k cap before the patch arrives so i suggest you save yourself some sanity and spread out the grind already ;)

Comment by Fador

There were only 2 CE mounts; This 1 and the quilen from Pandaria. I think they made a mistake by making the raven mount the CE reward. Because of that the arrokkoa rep reward is a talbuk and it makes no sense. It sucks for owners of the CE but this mount makes a lot of people happy, including me

Comment by GorbotheDeviant

Mage Tower building is a very good method for gaining Apexis for this. Takes about 10-15 minutes at most for me to get forty Waystones to turn in for a total of eight work orders. I tend to net 1,000 Apexis a day from this. I farm Waystones at Gordal Fortress in Talador.

Comment by Mitchevans

150,000 apexis crystals might seem like a lot, however, I would highly recommend building the Mage Tower route, while still doing the Apex dailies each day, as well as doing missives.

The mage tower yields on average 200 apex crystals per work order. So, doing the math, 150,000/200 is 750 work orders. Each work order, however, takes 5 Ogre Waystone, making it a total of 3750 Ogre Waystone required to reach 150,000 apexis crystals, should you choose to do the work orders alone. However, with work orders alone, with earning an average of 1000-1200 crystals a day from the Mage Tower, it will take you around at most a 150 days to get enough crystals.

From the places that I have farmed these stones, I would say that the cave inside the Stonemaul Arena in Gorgrond is the best place to farm these, especially if there are players outside doing the bonus objective, as this will increase the spawn rate of the level 92 mobs that are inside the cave. These mobs spawn incredibly quickly, and will yield 1-3 Ogre Waystone when they decide to drop them.

You can also do garrison missives, on top of work orders at the Mage Tower and apex dailies. If you choose to do these as well, I would recommend doing The Lost Veil of Anzu missive. When you do this missive, be sure to not just kill mobs, but consume them (right clicking their bodies after looting them) so that you get transformed. Once transformed, killing anything will grant a huge amount towards completion of the missive (I'd recommend AoE'ing down the goblins/octopus packs) and I usually finish this missive within 5 minutes, for a total of 800 Apex crystals. Also, if you choose to do JUST missives, it will take a 188 missives, which in total will cost a whopping 37,600 garrison resources.

So depending on how you choose to go for this mount, it could take a very long time. If you reach the 60,000 cap before 6.2, and would like to get the mount ONE MONTH after 6.2 drops, you will have to do the apexis crystal daily each day, as well as (at most) 38 missives, on top of having the Mage Tower running at full capacity during that month.

Comment by katokal

Did they remove the cap on Apexis crystals on PTR? Currently the cap is 60,000 if I remember correctly. Not sure if I missed the note about this or not.

Comment by Avalionis

is it ironic, that despite Blizzard's claim that they won't be putting flying into Draenor at any point in time in the future, let alone in any future content, and yet, they're releasing ANOTHER flying mount? (yes, it can be used as ground mount, but that's not the point.) add to the fact, that it's a reskin of the CE mount, just shows how lazy they truly are. :| I've already been banned from the WoW forums, for refusing to accept their "vision", but this? this is a slap to the face of those that want to see flying added to Draenor at some point in time. I wouldn't be surprised to see more people leave. It's no longer about flying, it's the blaniant disrespect Blizzard has shown their players, time and time again, and the outright lies, and lack of compelling content. :|

Comment by Romire

This is gonna be one hell of a Apxis grind!

Comment by 1005442

Does anyone know if you need some reputation of any kind to buy this mount?

Comment by magette

Reins of the Corrupted Dreadwing now requires Friendly with Order of the Awakened

Survivors of a grizzly civil war, these beleaguered arakkoans hope the reclamation of apexis artifacts will hold the key to peacefully rebuilding their civilization.

Comment by kreiyu

lol why waste my time grinding for a flying mount that can't be flown in WoD. just another middle finger from blizz. still waiting for the patch that makes this game fun again.

Comment by Dzink

Obtainable in 15 days if you start with 0 apexis crystal. So how to start?

1. Pick up the daily quest from Yrel with reward 2000 apexis and 600 oil and finish it. (if you don't do that quest you cant unlock another dailys and all 7 daily zones with reward 500 each, exept Throne of Kil"jaeden with reward 800. (I am highly recommend to not do the Throne as your main daily quest for apexis and oil).
2. Once is done pick up all daily quests and start doing them.
3. Will recommend to group up for Throne of Kil'jaeden since there is only elites and they hit very hard even to tank 705+ ilvl. Note that if you choose to do the Throne as main quest (from Yrel) you will lose 300 apexis in total since you cant do one zone 2 times in one day. So choice any area with reward 500 apexis.

Yrel main daily - 2000 apexis
5 zones x 500 + Throne 800 = 3300 (the 7th zone is done for the daily from Yrel)
daily from Krisek "Unseen Influence" - 1500
two dailys from Vindicatr Krethos - 750 total
daily from garrison - 800 (1000 - The Pit)
mage tower ~ 900 (6 work orders per 24h)
do one "scounting massive" for 800 (cost 200 garrison resources)

total daily: 10 050
In addition there is some apexis missions from garrision with reward from 400 to 1000 apexis. And now in the shipyard from 1000 to 2000 (didn't saw more than 2000)

Note that the things can get changed since its PTR.

EDIT: Adding screenshot. :)

Comment by Dakkenz1488

im already capped just waiting tell i can earn more!

Comment by EmeraldFox01

So this is classed as a flying mount? how come since we STILL cant fly in warlords

Comment by Adac

Here is a quick guide for obtaining 0 Apexis Crystal within 14 days:

Initial steps:

Daily Grind

Complete Unseen Influence for 0 Apexis Crystal.
Complete the daily quest at your command table in Lion's Watch or Vol'mar. The possible quests are included in Draenor's Last Stand and grant 0 Apexis Crystal.
Upon completion of your command table daily, go to Vindicator Krethos / Shadow Hunter Denjai to receive two more daily quests:
Pressing the Attack / Pressing the Attack requires you to complete two more bonus objective areas and grants 0 Apexis Crystal for completing the quest. This is in addition to the 0 Apexis Crystal you'll earn for completing each zone, granting you a total of 0 Apexis Crystal.
The other quest is randomly generated and will grant 0 Apexis Crystal upon completion.
Complete the remaining four bonus objective areas in Tanaan Jungle granting 0 Apexis Crystal for Assault on the Throne of Kil'jaeden + 0 Apexis Crystal for each normal zone. You'll get 0 Apexis Crystal in total for completing all four.
Return to your garrison and complete the town hall daily quest for 0 Apexis Crystal.

The above method will get you at least 0 Apexis Crystal every day. It will take 14 days to get 0 Apexis Crystal this way. You can earn more each day by issuing work orders in your garrison, completing Inn dailies, or completing group quests.

Dead enemies drop 1-3 Apexis Crystal within the bonus objective zones and will allow you to reach 0 Apexis Crystal faster than 14 days. Drop rates will increase if you complete Rumble in the Jungle and gain the King of the Jungle buff.

Boost Your Earnings

If available at your command table, Assault on the Throne of Kil'jaeden will grant 0 Apexis Crystal and you'll obtain an extra 0 Apexis Crystal for the day.
Purchase Scouting Missives from Sergeant Crowler / Sergeant Grimjaw and complete the quest for 0 Apexis Crystal.
If you have a Mage Tower / Spirit Lodge Level 1 you can obtain an additional ~0 Apexis Crystal each day via work orders (Thank you to Mitchevans, Dzink and Karazaskul for the information)
Solar Priest Vayx doubles the number of Apexis Crystal gained on relevant follower missions, but requires 0 Apexis Crystal to purchase his contract.

Reins of the Corrupted Dreadwing
Because that bird is pretty sick in green.

Comment by 1125555

I obtained my mount 2 days after launch, and posted my pictures of Khadgar Server First for those who want to see.

I can say that this mount turns a lot of heads, as i was whispered many times how beautiful she was, and indeed, she's a beauty.

The ONLY downside i have with the mount is that the spell effects giving the fiery glow that rises in the air goes straight in the camera angle, but it's not as bad as the A'lar mount, which gave me headaches and nausea after a while.

Greatest upsides i saw was first, of course, her beauty, and second, her spell effects. There is one spell effect that cannot be seen: It's the sound. Even when not in the air, the mount leaves a fiery sound as if it was burning alive

Most beautiful mount i have, and a trophy by itself with the fact i have server first. I recommend any who are mount hunters like me to farm for her, because she's more than worth it.

Sure, it's a lot of farming, but it's bearable if you have a mage tower/spirit lodge, and patience :)

Happy grinding!

PS: Yes, she can fly, and yes, she will fly in WoD soon, for those who wait for the "flying patch"

EDIT: yes, there is indeed a problem with the animation, as it's much faster than normal, and looks silly. I realized it right when i obtained the mount, but didn't think much of it, thinking it was the same as the Dread Raven's, but it's not.

Comment by Netherspark

Bought this mount today and I'm sorry to report that it is excruciatingly undersized! It is significantly smaller than the Dread Raven, and your character barely even fits in the saddle. Bad luck to the larger races like Tauren, Orcs, Worgen and Trolls... you just look ridiculous riding it.

And unfortunately, due to its small size the animation speed is (yet again) far faster than it should be.

This is starting to become a bad habit for Blizzard....

Comment by 1422659

Something not mentioned in other comments:

This mount, once learned, can jump abnormally higher than all the other mounts. You will find yourself being able to clear certain obstacles easier.

Good luck to all of you with your apexis grind. It'll be over before you know it.

Comment by Manniala

Weee i just got my mount now :D
And i even skipped 1 day with daily in Tanaan, and only had 50k when tanaan came out, and i then used 30k on weap + the upgrade to 695 :)
So you can do this in 1 week if you do all the bonus areas that gives Apexi.

The Fel-Proof Goggles make for some great riding glasses with this mount!

Comment by Volleynova

One of the easiest grinds I've ever been on. The work in getting this mount was nothing compared to Reins of the Winterspring Frostsaber ten years ago, but I'll treasure it as much.

Comment by Bullerick

I am drooling over this mount. Birds have certain majestic type of feel to them and this guy looks REALLY MEAN as well! He is ginormous!The textures are so detailed and the fel corruption is badass! I don't have a problem with apexis quests so I am saving up for this guy and I'm gonna get it and I'm going to use it to fly in Draenor. This is a really, really good looking mount.

Comment by Xilu82

This should merit an achievement at least *_*

Comment by Grayknight

I just got this mount and wanted to let you guys know, it did not count toward the Mountacular achievement. Not sure if that is a bug or intended.

Comment by Kostiny

Pretty awsome mount , but really to easy to get . Only need 150 000 apexis .

Reins of the Corrupted Dreadwing >>>>> https://youtu.be/7nUag5CJeGk

Comment by Epiquerian

This does not cost fewer apexis with higher reputation. I waited until exalted status to find out. 150k flat.

Comment by DillonRobinson

Finally. After my dailies last night I was at 147k Apexis, and grinded the rest out via Iron Front farming groups.

Worth every crystal and every hour spent doing so, so many of those dailies.

Really gorgeous mount, great model and texture detail, and the Fel particles look very cool.

Like others have said, and this is par for the course with many WoD mounts, the running animation is awful. It's far too fast and there's too much swaying.

Comment by WoWGnGP

i made a video of this mount
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGz228G6As8&feature=youtu.be

Comment by ahunter8056

Phew. After 2-3 weeks of doing my dailies every single day, as well as the 4k I had saved up prior to 6.2, I finally saved up enough Apexis Crystals to afford this mount. And I'm glad I did, it looks stunning! One of the incredibly few decent WoD mounts, and this one is probably the best. I definitely think Blizzard should have put in an achievement for grinding for this mount though.

Comment by Wulfovo

I Am Fascinated how much its colors coresponds with Teldrassil´s colors! :)

Comment by madseasonshow

Very similar to the Warlords of Draenor promotional mount, Reins of the Dread Raven. Obtained from Dawn-Seeker Krisek for 150,000x Apexis Crystal(also requires friendly with the Order of the Awakened, but you should get that long before obtaining 150,000 crystals)

Here is a quick video showcasing the mount if you want to see it in action before dropping 150k crystals on it.

Comment by Pucepuce

The faster way to have 150 000 Apexis turns arounds 800 Apexis enchères five minutes, so if you are a hard-farmer and want your mount right now it Will take you like around fifteen hours.

You Just have to possess à mage tower and your famous bodyguard with his garnison portal.
The cycle is to open the gâté of the Nagrand ogres, and then buy your missives for the broken précipice as you guessed. Here, Just seek for the élites in the arèna which Will grands you Many points as the gronns around Will. You should fill the bar in five minutes so you Just have to as Delvar to create à Garnison portal, go to turn-in the missive quest, accept again à broken précipice missive from your bag and then go to your mage tower to Nagrand and repeat the cycle.

Comment by jamescovas

This mount is account-wide?. My hunter has buid it but it doesn't show up in the armory on my paladin lvl 92.

Comment by skyline33

This mount is great for those 2 jump spots in the Everbloom, I find jump up them backwards on this is much easier

Comment by axluto

Will the mount still be obtainable when Legion comes out?

Comment by casseopeya

This mount, Reins of the Corrupted Dreadwing, despite its description in the game before and after you learn it, you no longer need to be level 100 nor Friendly with the Order of the Awakened to be used. My level 26 Priest was able to ride it without a problem: The screenshot that shows a level 26 Priest riding it.

Comment by Cangrejoloco207

Farm this with at least 110. Get the daily quest from the Talador outpost mission table. That's usually 2000 Apexis. This then opens up 5 bonus areas that yield 800 each. Repeat every day. Kill Kazzak for 1000 also.
It's a grind but the mount is amazing.

Comment by Thaynan

Is the Corrupted Dreadwing mount still available?

Comment by Zarasz

Its great for green outfits. Too bad the burning sound is ruining it. No other burning mount has this annoying looped sound of a burning fire and I cant find the spell ID to mute it. Way to go, Blizzard, to ruin a great looking mount with an annoying sound.

Comment by Borga76

Much like the Armored Skyscreamer, it's been like 3 years or more at this point and this mount is still bugged. The /mountspecial used to have delayed audio, but now it flat out doesn't even play the audio.

Such a massive shame considering how cool this mount was/is.
