Overview

Cartel Master's Gearglider

Game iconCartel Master's Gearglider is a flying mechanical mount in the broker cartel style, added to World of Warcraft with the Shadowlands expansion in patch 9.1 "Chains of Domination." It is a sleek glider fitted with gears, crafted in the aesthetic of Tazavesh — the bustling underground broker market.

The mount drops from So'leah, the final boss of the Tazavesh, the Veiled Market megadungeon. The approximate drop chance is around 1–2%, so collecting it requires regular farming. In Season 3 of The War Within, Tazavesh received a heroic mode with no daily lockout and was split into two standalone dungeons for the Mythic+ format, which made hunting for the mount significantly easier.

Why You Want This Mount

  • Stylish mechanical design — the broker cartel glider looks unique, stands apart from standard flying models, and fits perfectly with characters built around the "broker" aesthetic
  • Versatile mount — supports both ground and flying travel at +150% / +280% / +310% speed depending on your riding skill
  • Account-wide access — once obtained, the mount unlocks for all of your characters of any faction
  • A single-model collection — the glider model is reused across several variants (Game iconXy Trustee's Gearglider, Game iconVandal's Gearglider, the basic Game iconTazavesh Gearglider), and owning the main variant is a good goal for series collectors

How to Obtain

The main path is defeating So'leah in the Tazavesh, the Veiled Market megadungeon. The item drops in both heroic and Mythic modes.

  1. Reach level 60 (the minimum to enter) and unlock access to Tazavesh through the quest chain in Oribos
  2. Pick up the first quest The Oribos Almanac from innkeeper Ta'rel in the Idyllia sector (coordinates roughly 67, 50)
  3. Complete the chain of seven quests that ends with a trip to Tazavesh. This takes about 30 minutes
  4. Once the dungeon is unlocked, queue up through the group finder or assemble a group manually.
  5. Make your way to the final fight and defeat So'leah
  6. Open the chest — with a small chance, the reward will contain the Game iconCartel Master's Gearglider

Additional Source — the Quantum Courser

Game iconReins of the Quantum Courser is a rare item that drops from Chrono-Lord Deios, the final boss of the Dawn of the Infinite megadungeon. When used, it has a chance to turn into one of 16 rare dungeon mounts — including the Cartel Master's Gearglider.

  • Obtain the reins from Chrono-Lord Deios in Mythic mode
  • Activate the item — it is consumed and randomly adds one of the possible mounts to your collection
  • This is an additional RNG source, useful if you are farming other mounts from this list in parallel

Note: the chance of getting the Cartel Master's Gearglider specifically from the Reins of the Quantum Courser is very low, so the main path remains direct Tazavesh farming.

Minimum Requirements

  • Character level — 60+
  • Item level — at least 185 to enter heroic mode through the group finder
  • A completed Shadowlands intro chain (up to choosing a covenant) — not formally required, but it makes navigating Oribos much easier

Farming Optimization

Optimal Classes for Skipping So'leah

In Mythic mode, So'leah has an artifact-link mechanic: she gains a 99% damage reduction until the link is broken by hitting the relics with "Hyperlight Jolts." In solo farming this makes the boss practically invulnerable, so classes with evasion abilities are recommended:

In heroic mode the boss can be cleared by a normal group with no tricks, so heroic farming is the most sensible option for hunting the mount.

Tips

1

Prepare a ready group in advance — with teammates who know the mechanics, a single run in heroic Tazavesh takes 15–20 minutes, and repeats are even faster

2

Use the 10-instances-per-hour limit wisely — take breaks between reset cycles so you don't hit a lockout. If you get kicked out of an instance after the 10th run, wait about an hour and continue

3

Collect the glider set in parallel — the model is reused, and while farming Tazavesh you may also randomly get the inv_mawexpansionbearmount_purpleTazavesh Gearglider from other bosses of this dungeon

4

The mount is account-wide once obtained — as soon as one character loots the inv_brokermount_darkCartel Master's Gearglider, it will appear in the collection of every character on the account

5

Don't waste the Reins of the Quantum Courser — if you have them and you're hunting several mounts from the Quantum Courser list at once, activation gives a random chance at any of them
