Elven Arcane Guardian

Elven Arcane Guardian is a flying mount in the form of an arcane golem, added in the Midnight expansion (patch 12.0.1). This majestic protector of the elven people, animated by arcane energy and unyielding will, is available for purchase from the delve vendor in Silvermoon. The mount is warband-bound, so you only need to buy it once — it becomes available to all characters on your account.

The Elven Arcane Guardian is one of the most striking mounts tied to the delve system in Midnight. Here are the main reasons to add it to your collection:

• Unique arcane golem model in an elven style
• A flying mount with up to +310% speed in the air
• Warband-bound — a single purchase for your entire account
• No Explorer's Path progress required (unlike the Silvermoon's Arcane Defender, which requires rank 5)

Vendor and Price

The Elven Arcane Guardian mount is sold by Naleidea Rivergleam for 10,000 Undercoin.

Naleidea is located at the Bazaar in Silvermoon, next to the Explorers' Headquarters.

Purchase Requirements

• 10,000 Undercoin — the primary delve currency
• Character level: 10 (a formality — delves are available at max level)
• Riding skill: basic for ground travel, master for flight
• Explorer's Path progress is not required

Undercoin is a seasonal currency you earn by completing delves. The main source is bountiful delves, available in rotation each day.

Ways to Earn

Farming Tips

1. Run 4 bountiful delves daily — this is the optimal amount for maximum Undercoin income.
2. Start at difficulty tier 8 — it already unlocks the full gear-acquisition loop, and coins drop steadily.
3. Don't skip the weekly quest — it grants a large one-time bonus.
4. Watch for the delve bonus event — the 25% boost to coin income noticeably speeds up your accumulation.
5. Master 2–3 fast delves — you don't have to run them all; pick the ones your class clears fastest and repeat them.

With regular runs of 4 bountiful delves per day, you can accumulate 10,000 coins in roughly 2–3 weeks.

Naleidea Rivergleam is the delve vendor, located at the Bazaar in Silvermoon, in the Explorers' Headquarters area. Besides the Elven Arcane Guardian, you can also purchase other items from her for Undercoin: keys to restored chests, delve consumables, and cosmetic rewards.

The Explorers' Headquarters is the central hub for all delve-related activities. It's also home to the Explorer's Guide, where you can track progress, configure your companion's abilities, and check the bountiful delve rotation.

The Elven Arcane Guardian model is used by one more obtainable mount — take note if you like this type of golem:

Mount	How to Obtain	Difference
Elven Arcane Guardian	10,000 Undercoin from Naleidea	Standard color scheme
Silvermoon's Arcane Defender	10 Voidlight Marl + Explorer's Path rank 5	Red-and-gold color scheme

Silvermoon's Arcane Defender takes considerably longer due to the need to reach Explorer's Path rank 5 (20,400 progress points), whereas the Elven Arcane Guardian is available immediately once you have the required number of coins.
