Ferocious Jawcrawler

Ferocious Jawcrawler is an epic ground mount added in patch 11.0.2 of The War Within expansion. It is a large jawcrawler — a predatory nerubian creature from the underground tunnels of Azj-Kahet, tamed and used as a mount. The mount is purchased from Lady Vinazian or Y'tekhi in the Azj-Kahet zone. To get it, you will need 2,815 Kej and renown rank 22 with The Severed Threads faction.

The item description reads: "Thanks to its gigantic size, this jawcrawler is just right for riding... but make sure it doesn't reach your arms and legs with its maw." The mount has a reddish-brown coloration and the distinctive model of a cave worm with powerful jaws.

• Guaranteed acquisition — unlike mounts with a percentage drop chance, the Ferocious Jawcrawler is purchased from a vendor. Once you reach the required renown rank and save up enough Kej, the mount is yours
• Unique model — this is one of the few mounts shaped like a nerubian cave worm. The model stands out among standard mounts thanks to its unusual anatomy and aggressive look
• The War Within theme — the mount fits perfectly into the subterranean atmosphere of Azj-Kahet and nerubian culture. If you collect the expansion's mounts, the jawcrawler is a must-have
• Available to all characters — once purchased, the mount becomes available on every character on your account thanks to the warband system
• Renown leveling in parallel — while you grind renown with The Severed Threads for other rewards (gear, recipes, titles), the mount will be a pleasant bonus at rank 22

To buy the mount you need to meet two conditions: reach renown rank 22 with The Severed Threads faction and have 2,815 Kej.

1. Get to Azj-Kahet and complete the zone's main storyline. This automatically unlocks world quests, the pact system, and starts your renown progression
2. At renown rank 3 the pact system unlocks — choose one of the three Severed Threads leaders (General, Vizier, or Weaver) and complete weekly quests
3. Level your renown with The Severed Threads to rank 22
4. Save up 2,815 Kej
5. Find Lady Vinazian in the Weaver's Lair in Azj-Kahet (coordinates approximately 55, 41)
6. Purchase the Ferocious Jawcrawler and use the item to learn the mount

Reaching renown rank 22 requires systematic completion of content in Azj-Kahet. The main sources are listed below.

Main Storyline (starting bonus)

Completing the Azj-Kahet campaign grants a significant one-time renown bonus. After finishing the zone's entire storyline, you will reach roughly rank 3–4, which unlocks the pact system and basic world quests.

Weekly Pact Quests (main source)

At renown rank 3 the pact system unlocks. Each week you can form a pact with one of the three Severed Threads leaders:

• General — combat quests and killing rare enemies
• Vizier — quests tied to intrigue and reconnaissance
• Weaver — resource-gathering and exploration quests

Completing a weekly pact quest rewards 500 Kej, renown points, gear, recipes, or chest keys. Pact rank progress also increases your overall renown with The Severed Threads.

World Quests

World quests in Azj-Kahet appear regularly and reward renown points on completion. Check the Azj-Kahet map several times a day so you don't miss any available quests.

Rare Enemies and Treasures

Rare mobs and treasure chests are scattered all across Azj-Kahet. Each rare enemy and each treasure rewards 45 Kej and renown points. Treasures are one-time, but available separately on each character.

Rumors (daily mini-quests)

Rumors are small quests marked with a spider icon on the minimap. They appear daily all across Azj-Kahet and reward 50 Kej each. This is a quick and easy source of both currency and renown.

Contract: Severed Threads

At high renown ranks, scribes can craft a contract that increases the renown earned from world quests. If you have a scribe or access to the auction house, activate the contract to speed up your progress.

Kej is the currency of Azj-Kahet, used for purchases from The Severed Threads faction vendors. Here are the main ways to earn it.

Weekly Pact Quests

Each completed weekly pact quest rewards 500 Kej. This is the main and most reliable source of currency.

Renown Quests

At certain renown ranks (8, 10, 14, 18, 22), additional quests unlock that reward 750 or more Kej. The reward amount grows with each subsequent rank.

Side Quests

Azj-Kahet has 15 side quest chains available. Completing each chain rewards from 250 to 750 Kej.

Daily Rumors

Each rumor grants 50 Kej. You can complete several rumors per day, providing a steady daily income.

Rare Mobs and Treasures

Killing rare enemies and opening treasure chests yield 45 Kej each.

Daily Plan

1. Check the available world quests in Azj-Kahet and complete them — they give both renown and Kej
2. Find and complete all available rumors (spider icons on the minimap) — 50 Kej each
3. Kill the available rare mobs — they are marked on the map with stars
4. Open any treasure chests you find

Weekly Plan

1. Form a pact with one of the Severed Threads leaders at Lady Vinazian
2. Complete the weekly pact quest to receive 500 Kej and renown points
3. Switch pact leaders each week to vary your content and unlock each path's unique rewards

How Long It Will Take

With active play, completing weekly pact quests and daily activities, reaching renown rank 22 takes roughly 4–6 weeks. While leveling renown, you will naturally accumulate the required 2,815 Kej — most likely the currency will be ready before the renown is.
