Overview

Goblin Turbo-Trike

The Game iconGoblin Turbo-Trike Key is an epic ground mount added in the Cataclysm expansion (patch 4.0.3). It is a three-wheeled goblin-made motorcycle with a powerful turbo engine — an upgraded version of the regular Game iconGoblin Trike Key. The mount is purchased from the vendor Kall Worthaton in Orgrimmar for 10 gold. It is available only to characters of the Horde faction.

The item description reads: "Turns out, a pile of nuts, bolts and gears wrapped in wooden panels can deliver a surprisingly smooth ride." The trike's license plate reads "[clock] = $" — a nod to the goblin motto "Time is money, friend!"

Why you want this mount

  • Guaranteed acquisition — the mount is bought from a vendor for gold. No RNG: reach the required reputation and buy it
  • Minimal cost — just 10 gold, one of the cheapest mounts in the game
  • Unique model — a three-wheeled motorcycle with a turbo engine. It stands out among standard mounts such as wolves, raptors, and horses
  • Goblin racial mount — for goblin characters it is available immediately upon learning riding, with no reputation grind
  • Counts toward your collection — it adds to your overall mount tally for mount-collecting achievements
  • Account-wide — once learned, the mount appears on all your Horde characters

How to obtain

The mount is purchased from the vendor Kall Worthaton in Orgrimmar. Goblin characters need no additional reputation to buy it, while all other Horde races must reach Exalted with the Bilgewater Cartel.

  1. Make sure your character has reached at least level 10 and learned the Apprentice Riding skill
  2. If you are not a goblin, build your reputation with the Bilgewater Cartel to Exalted
  3. Head to the Orgrimmar Embassy
  4. Find Kall Worthaton — the trike vendor
  5. Buy the Game iconGoblin Turbo-Trike Key for 10 gold
  6. Use the item to learn the mount

Kall Worthaton — the mount vendor

Kall Worthaton is a goblin trike vendor from the Bilgewater Cartel. He is located in the Orgrimmar Embassy.

Besides the Turbo-Trike, Kall Worthaton sells:

Item Cost Requirements
Game iconGoblin Trike Key 1 gold Goblin or Exalted with the Bilgewater Cartel
Game iconGoblin Turbo-Trike Key 10 gold Goblin or Exalted with the Bilgewater Cartel

The NPC's name is a reference to Cal Worthington, the famous California car dealer known for his flamboyant television commercials. The surname "Worthaton" also plays on the phrase "worth a ton" — fitting for the goblin love of gold.

How to grind reputation with the Bilgewater Cartel

If your character is a goblin, you can skip this section: goblins start with high reputation and can buy the trikes right away.

All other Horde races will need to reach Exalted with the Bilgewater Cartel.

Method 1: Bilgewater Cartel Tabard (fastest)

  1. Reach Friendly reputation with the Bilgewater Cartel
  2. Buy the Game iconBilgewater Cartel Tabard from quartermaster Frizzo Villamar in Orgrimmar
  3. Equip the tabard and run dungeons — every mob killed in a dungeon will grant reputation with the Bilgewater Cartel
  4. Cataclysm Heroic dungeons grant the most reputation per run

At high character levels, dungeon mobs die instantly, and grinding to Exalted takes a few hours.

Method 2: Completing quests

There are roughly 300 quests that grant reputation with the Bilgewater Cartel. The main zones are:

  • Azshara — the starting zone for goblins, with a large number of quests for low-level characters
  • Orgrimmar — city quests
  • Other Horde zones — many Cataclysm quests grant a small amount of reputation

Method 3: Dungeons while leveling

If you are leveling a new Horde character, simply equip the Bilgewater Cartel Tabard while running dungeons as you level. By max level your reputation may reach Exalted naturally.

Goblin Trike and Turbo-Trike — comparison

Kall Worthaton sells two mounts — the regular trike and its upgraded version. Here is how they compare:

Attribute Goblin Trike Goblin Turbo-Trike
Item Game iconGoblin Trike Key Game iconGoblin Turbo-Trike Key
Cost 1 gold 10 gold
Quality Rare (blue) Epic (purple)
Speed +60% / +100% +60% / +100%
Appearance Standard trike Upgraded trike with a turbo engine

Both mounts scale their speed with your riding skill. There is no functional difference between them — the distinction is purely cosmetic. The Turbo-Trike looks more imposing and has extra body detailing.

Tips

1

Create a goblin character — if you want quick access to both trikes without grinding reputation, just create a goblin. You can buy the mount right after learning riding.

2

Buy both trikes at once — the combined cost of both mounts is just 11 gold. If you have already reached Exalted, there is no reason not to grab both models.

3

Combine your reputation grind — if you are already wearing the Bilgewater Cartel Tabard in dungeons for the grind, you will earn the reputation for buying the mounts along the way.

4

Check the other Horde racial mounts — while you are in Orgrimmar, drop by the other racial mount vendors. If you are Exalted with other Horde factions, you can buy their mounts too.

5

The mount is account-wide — you only need to buy the mount on one character. It will automatically appear in the collection of all your Horde characters.
