Fiery Hearthsteed

Fiery Hearthsteed is an epic ground and flying mount added in patch 8.0.1 of the Battle for Azeroth expansion. It is a fiery version of the classic Hearthsteed, which players earned for wins in Hearthstone back during Mists of Pandaria. The Fiery Hearthsteed was given out to celebrate Hearthstone's 10th anniversary and was available to players who logged into Hearthstone between March 11 and May 14, 2024.

The mount is a fiery-red winged horse with a blazing mane and tail. Unlike the original Hearthsteed, rendered in white-and-blue tones, the Fiery Hearthsteed is colored in rich scarlet and crimson shades. The in-game description reads: "These flying creatures race unseen across the skies."

• Rare collectible — the mount was available for a limited time as part of the Hearthstone cross-promotion. If you managed to obtain it, it highlights your collection as a long-time player of the Blizzard universe
• Ground and flying — the Fiery Hearthsteed works as both a ground and a flying mount. Its speed adapts to your riding skill: from +60% on the ground up to +310% in the air
• Striking appearance — the fiery color palette makes the mount stand out among other winged horses. The flaming mane and tail create an impressive visual trail in flight
• Available to all characters — once obtained, the mount appears in your collection and is available on every character on the account
• Linked achievement — when you obtain the mount, you are automatically awarded the great feat Hearthstoned: Fiery Edition

The Fiery Hearthsteed was granted as part of a cross-promotion for Hearthstone's 10th anniversary. The requirements were extremely simple.

1. Log into Hearthstone with your Battle.net account (the same one used for World of Warcraft)
2. Event period: from March 11 to May 14, 2024
3. No additional actions were required — it was enough to simply sign in to Hearthstone
4. After logging into Hearthstone, the mount automatically appeared in your World of Warcraft collection
5. Along with the mount, the great feat "Hearthstoned: Fiery Edition" was awarded

Important: As of writing this guide, the event has ended, and the Fiery Hearthsteed is no longer obtainable. Blizzard has not announced a re-run of the promotion. However, there is a chance that the mount may return as part of a future Hearthstone anniversary or through the Trading Post.

In World of Warcraft there are two similar mounts tied to Hearthstone. It is important not to confuse them.

Hearthsteed

• Added in patch 5.4.1 (Mists of Pandaria)
• How to obtain: win three games in Play or Arena mode in Hearthstone
• White-and-blue color palette
• Available at any time — just win three matches in Hearthstone
• Item: Hearthsteed

Fiery Hearthsteed

• Added in patch 10.2.5 (Dragonflight)
• How to obtain: log into Hearthstone during the 10th anniversary period (March 11 – May 14, 2024)
• Fiery-red color palette
• Unavailable — the event has ended
• Item: Fiery Hearthsteed

Both mounts use the same winged-horse model but differ in color scheme. The original Hearthsteed is still obtainable.

The Fiery Hearthsteed model has an interesting history. It was first discovered by data miners in patch 5.3 (Mists of Pandaria) under the working name Tempestuous Skystallion. The model long remained unused — it went through the Battle for Azeroth beta but was never released.

Nearly ten years later, Blizzard finally used the model for the cross-promotion with Hearthstone's 10th anniversary. The mount was named Fiery Hearthsteed and became available in patch 10.2.5 on January 16, 2024, although the promotion itself started on March 11.

If you did not manage to obtain the Fiery Hearthsteed, consider similar mounts:

• Hearthsteed — the original winged horse from Hearthstone. Available right now — just win three matches in Hearthstone
• Compass Rose — another mount tied to Hearthstone's 10th anniversary. It was granted for completing a special quest during the event
• Trading Post mounts — every month unique mounts appear in the Trading Post for Trader's Tender. Keep an eye on the lineup
