Overview

Good Boy's Leash

Game iconGood Boy's Leash is a legendary ground mount added in patch 10.2.0 of the Dragonflight expansion. This item summons Game iconTaivan, a huge and incredibly good-natured bakar who became one of the most beloved characters of the Dragon Isles. The mount is a reward for completing the massive A World Awoken meta-achievement, which spans the entire content of the Dragonflight expansion.

Taivan has a unique running animation reminiscent of "power walking," and when you use the /mountspecial command he does the "zoomies" — joyfully tearing around in place. When summoned, the mount lets out a characteristic "awoo," emphasizing that Taivan really is a good boy. The mount journal description reads: "You don't have to be who the world wants you to be. Be who Taivan knows you can be."

Why You Want This Mount

  • One of the rarest mounts — according to community data, fewer than 1% of players have met all the requirements to obtain Taivan. This is a mount that signals true dedication to Dragonflight content
  • Unique model — Taivan is noticeably larger than ordinary bakars. He is the only bakar mount of this size in the game, and he is impossible to miss in a crowd
  • Account-wide — once obtained, the mount is available on all characters on your account
  • No time limit — the A World Awoken achievement is not tied to a season and can be completed at any time, including the current Midnight expansion
  • Guaranteed acquisition — unlike mounts with a percentage drop chance, Taivan is guaranteed once you complete all the achievement requirements

Requirements

To obtain the mount, you must complete the A World Awoken meta-achievement, which includes 14 major sub-achievements covering raids, dungeons, quests, reputation, world exploration, dragonriding and much more.

Main requirements:

  • A level 70+ character (the content scales; at level 90 it goes significantly faster)
  • Riding skill (Apprentice Riding)
  • A significant amount of time — full completion can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months of active play

Progress Optimization

Tracking Progress

Open the achievements tab in game (the Y key), find the A World Awoken achievement and track progress on each sub-achievement. Unfinished criteria will be greyed out.

Account-Wide Progress

Most achievements are credited account-wide. You can complete quests and explore zones on different characters, and the progress will accumulate. The exceptions are raids and dungeons, which require completion on a single character.

Speeding Up Reputation Farming

  • Use the Darkmoon Faire buff Game iconWHEE! (+10% reputation for 60 minutes) before completing quests
  • Combine farming with the bonus event weeks for world quests (+50% reputation)
  • Don't forget faction insignias from command table missions

Efficiency at Level 90

At max level in Midnight, all Dragonflight content goes by significantly faster:

  • Raids can be done solo or in a small group
  • Rare enemies are killed in seconds
  • World quests are completed instantly
  • Mythic 0 dungeons pose no challenge

Tips

1

Check your progress regularly — open the A World Awoken achievement and expand each sub-achievement. That way you won't miss a single criterion and you'll know where to focus your efforts

2

Don't skip side quests — for the Loremaster of the Dragon Isles achievement you need not only the main but also the side quest chains in every zone. The Azure Span has an especially large number of quests

3

Daily quests at the Forbidden Reach — for the Dragon Quests achievement you must complete 8 daily quests in this location. Previously completed quests don't count — start tracking from the moment you receive this criterion

4

Dragon racing — practice — a gold result may take several attempts on the harder tracks. Make sure you have all dragonriding talents unlocked for maximum speed and maneuverability

5

The Winterpelt furbolg language — part of the reputation achievement requires learning the furbolg language through a series of repeatable quests in the Azure Span. This can be done in parallel with other activities

6

Combine your raids — all three Dragonflight raids are located in the Dragon Isles. Plan your route so you can clear them in a single gaming session

7

The mount is worth the effort — despite the scale of the requirements, Taivan is one of the most memorable and beloved mounts in the history of World of Warcraft. His unique animation and rarity make every minute spent worthwhile

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.
