Malavita
Malavita first discovered World of Warcraft in Draenor, but truly got into the game with the Shadowlands expansion. Has a soft spot for Demon Hunters and Mages. Considers her main goal to be collecting as many mounts as possible.
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.
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:
| Period | How to Obtain | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| April 2010 — January 2023 | Blizzard shop | $25 / €25 (later reduced to $15) |
| February 2023 | Trading Post (first appearance) | 900 Trader's Tender |
| August 2024 | Trading Post (latest appearance) | 900 Trader's Tender |
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.
Each month you can earn Trader's Tender in the following ways:
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.
The Trading Post assortment refreshes on the first day of every month. Check the list of available items or look directly in the game.
Save up Tender in advance. Even if the Celestial Steed is currently absent from the Trading Post, start accumulating Trader's Tender. When the mount returns to the rotation, you will be able to buy it right away.
Don't waste Tender on trifles. If your goal is the Celestial Steed, refrain from buying cheap cosmetic items and save the currency.
Complete the Traveler's Log fully. The maximum amount of Tender per month lets you save up the required sum faster and even acquire additional rewards.
Follow the news. Blizzard announces the Trading Post contents for the next month in advance — on the official website and on social media. That way you won't miss the return of the Celestial Steed.
Tender carries over between months. Unspent Trader's Tender is preserved — you won't lose your savings if you don't spend it in the current month.
Account-wide mount. After purchase, the Celestial Steed will be available on all current and future characters on your account — you don't need to buy it again.
