Become a WoW Legend: Secure the Riding Turtle Mount!
World of Warcraft's competitive landscape demands dedication. Stand out from the crowd by acquiring coveted in-game treasures like the Riding Turtle, a unique and highly sought-after mount. This guide details how to obtain this legendary item.
What's the Riding Turtle?
Recent WoW pre-update changes allow solo groups, making exotic mounts like the Riding Turtle and Sea Turtle attainable. This guide outlines strategies for acquiring these collectibles. Note: These methods may be adjusted by Blizzard, so act quickly!
The Angler's Approach
Hidden within your garrison's waters lies a treasure:
- Alliance: Catch Lunarfall Carp.
- Horde: Catch Frostdeep Minnow.
These are obtained at your fishing shack. Returning them to the lake summons the Lunarfall/Frostdeep Cavedweller, from which you can obtain the mounts.
Essential: The Draenor Angler Achievement
This achievement, requiring 100 of each Enormous Fish species in Warlords of Draenor, unlocks a level 3 garrison fishing shack – crucial for catching the carp and minnow (drop rate: 3%). Optimize your chances with top gear and buffs.
Why Now? The Power of the Group
Previously, only the player who tagged the Cave Dweller received rewards. The latest patch allows raid groups (up to 40 players) to share loot, significantly increasing your odds.
The combined drop rate challenge (3% fishing, 0.5% Cave Dweller) is drastically reduced with 40 chances. While the Draenor Angler achievement isn't mandatory for joining a raid, demonstrating fishing prowess is beneficial to avoid being seen as a "leecher."
Expert Tip (from skycoach.gg): Seek a welcoming group or create your own to maximize your chances of obtaining this rare and impressive mount.
