Overview

Golden Discus

Golden Discus is a ground-and-flying mount added to World of Warcraft in patch 10.2.7 during the limited-time event WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria. It is a gleaming golden hovering disc platform styled after ancient mogu artifacts: a polished golden surface, fine engraving, and a soft glow along its edges. Its appearance and flight animation change depending on your riding skill and current zone.

The item description highlights the irony of the gift: "An ancient mogu artifact, awarded to those selflessly devoted to any and all forms of currency." The mount is sold for 2,200 Bronze by Hemet Nesingwary XVII at any of the Infinite Bazaars in Pandaria. Once the Remix event ended, the item became unavailable for purchase and is now listed in the unobtainable mounts category — so if you have it, it is already a collector's rarity.

Why you want this mount

  • Unique model — the flying mogu disc looks elegant and stands out noticeably among traditional flying mounts; the Flying Disc shares the same model, making it part of a recognizable "disc" family
  • Adaptive animation — the appearance changes depending on your riding skill (ground mode / flight) and current zone
  • Collector's value — the mount disappeared along with the Remix event, and the only way to add it to your collection now is if you managed to buy it during the 2024 Remix season
  • Full speed — on the ground: up to +100% movement speed, in flight: up to +310% at maximum riding skill
  • Account-wide — once learned, the mount appears in the collection on all characters, regardless of faction and class

How to obtain

The only way to add the Golden Discus to your collection is to purchase it for Bronze during an active WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria season. If the event is not currently running, the mount is temporarily unavailable.

  1. Create a Timerunner character or continue an existing one in WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria mode
  2. Level up to at least level 10 and reach any Pandaria zone marked with an Infinite Bazaar (the hourglass icon on the map)
  3. Find Hemet Nesingwary XVII at the bazaar — a mount vendor with the title "Beastlord"
  4. Save up at least 2,200 Bronze
  5. Open his mount tab and buy the Golden Discus
  6. Use the item — it will learn the mount permanently for all characters on your account

Infinite Bazaar locations

Hemet Nesingwary XVII is present at all Infinite Bazaars simultaneously, so you only need to reach the nearest one. The bazaars are marked on the Pandaria map with an hourglass icon.

Zone Notes
The Jade Forest Starting zone of Pandaria Remix, convenient access for new characters
Valley of the Four Winds Central agricultural region, two bazaars (the main one and one by the Pearlfin Pearl)
Kun-Lai Summit Cold mountain zones, a convenient hub in the middle of the continent
Townlong Steppes Western Pandaria, gateway to the Shado-Pan
Vale of Eternal Blossoms Main hub of Pandaria's capital, up to 12 bazaars nearby

Bronze — the main Remix currency

Bronze is the exclusive currency of the Remix: Mists of Pandaria event, used to buy mounts, pets, transmog outfits, trinkets, heirlooms, and relics. The accumulation cap is 200,000 Bronze at a time.

Sources of Bronze

  • Direct drops from mobs — regular mobs give small amounts, while elites and rares give noticeably more
  • Quest rewards — most story and daily quests award Bronze
  • Bronze Caches of various tiers (see the table below)
  • Gear disenchanting — unwanted items are converted into Bronze through special portals; the amount depends on level and quality
  • Bronze Spheres — scattered across all Pandaria zones
  • Infinite Treasure Chest — granted for major rewards

Types of Bronze caches

Cache Contents Source
Small Bronze Cache 200 Bronze Daily Group Finder quest
Lesser Bronze Cache 400 Bronze Achievements, quests, chance from elite mobs
Bronze Cache 600 Bronze Exalted with a Remix faction or first clear of a Group Finder/Normal raid
Greater Bronze Cache 1,000 Bronze First clear of a Heroic/Mythic raid, campaign chapters

Optimizing Bronze farming

The price of 2,200 Bronze is one of the lowest among exclusive Remix mounts, so you can gather the sum in 1–2 play sessions with moderate activity.

Fastest methods

  1. Heroic/Mythic scenarios and dungeons — abundant Bronze output plus filled caches
  2. Pandaria campaign quest chains — each chapter ends with a Greater Bronze Cache (1,000)
  3. Elite mob rushes — the Valley of the Four Winds and Kun-Lai Summit have dense groups of elites with noticeably increased currency output
  4. Disenchanting excess gear — after every dungeon, disenchant duplicates and low-level items
  5. Completing all daily Group Finder quests — a guaranteed 200 Bronze every day

Related exclusive mounts

Hemet Nesingwary XVII sells several more Remix mounts that make sense to grab in one batch while the event is active. They all share the same "disc" model, so the collection looks cohesive.

  • Mogu Hazeblazer — 2,200 Bronze, a dark "fiery" disc
  • Epic Remix mounts — from 6,600 to 38,500 Bronze (for example, the Pandaria raid serpents)

Tips

1

Don't delay the purchase — the Remix event is limited-time, and after it ends the ability_mount_cloudmountGolden Discus disappears from the assortment until a possible event relaunch (there have been no new announcements from Blizzard yet)

2

Create a Timerunner in advance — an event character gets boosted progression, so you'll reach level 10 and your first Infinite Bazaar in literally an hour

3

Buy the Remix exclusives first, then the retail mounts — the old mounts from Hemet Nesingwary XVII (from 18,700 to 38,500 Bronze) can be farmed by usual means in the regular game after the event, whereas the Remix exclusives will vanish completely

4

Open Bronze caches only after raising the cap — their contents don't scale, but if you're near the 200,000 ceiling, it's better to spend at Hemet Nesingwary XVII first

5

Use a cloak — the artifact cloak with special gems significantly speeds up mob farming and, consequently, Bronze accumulation

6

The mount is account-wide — after using the item, the ability_mount_cloudmountGolden Discus appears in the collection on all account characters in the regular game, not only on the Timerunner character

Started playing back in Pandaria, when the pandaren were still a novelty. Got stuck on Monk because it's the only class where you don't get dizzy after a dash. Tries to manage both tanking and kicking enemies in the face.
