Celestial Steed

Celestial Steed is a flying mount in the form of a stellar warhorse whose body is woven from constellations and elemental stardust. This mount became the first ride that Blizzard put up for sale for real money in April 2010. In the mount journal it is described as: "A beacon of hope; a guiding light in the dark."

The Celestial Steed is one of the most recognizable mounts in the history of World of Warcraft. In the first hours of sales it was bought by more than 140,000 players, and total revenue exceeded the earnings of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.

Since January 2023 the mount was removed from the Blizzard shop and moved to the Trading Post, where it can be purchased for in-game currency.

At the moment there is only one way to obtain this mount — through the Trading Post.

Trading Post

The Trading Post is a monthly rotation system for cosmetic items, added in patch 10.0.5. Every month the assortment is refreshed, and the Celestial Steed periodically appears among the available goods.

Cost: 900 Trader's Tender Where to find the Trading Post:

• Alliance: Stormwind, next to the bank
• Horde: Orgrimmar, next to Grommash Hold

Availability History

At the moment the mount is on pause and is not featured in the current Trading Post rotation. Keep an eye on the monthly updates — the Celestial Steed is sure to return in the future.

Step 1 — Save Up Trader's Tender

Each month you can earn Trader's Tender in the following ways:

• 500 Tender is granted automatically when you visit the Trading Post at the start of a new month
• Additional Tender can be earned by completing tasks from the monthly Traveler's Log — a variety of activities: dungeons, PvP, gathering resources, completing quests, and much more
• For fully filling out the Traveler's Log you receive a bonus reward and extra Tender

To purchase the Celestial Steed you will need 900 Tender. If you collect all the available Tender each month, you can save up the required amount in 1–2 months.

Step 2 — Wait for the Mount to Appear in the Rotation

The Trading Post assortment refreshes on the first day of every month. Check the list of available items or look directly in the game.

2. Find the Celestial Steed in the goods catalog
3. Purchase the mount for 900 Trader's Tender
