Netherlord's Brimstone Wrathsteed
Overview

Hellblazing Reins of the Brimstone Wrathsteed is an item that teaches the flying mount
Netherlord's Brimstone Wrathsteed. It's an alternate orange-red color variant of the warlock class mount added to World of Warcraft in patch 7.2.0 of the Legion expansion. According to the lore, it's a subjugated demonic steed with a blazing mane and hooves, harnessed from the worlds of Xoroth — only a warlock who has proven their mastery over demons can ride it.
The reins are sold by the vendor Calydus in the Dreadscar Rift (the warlock order's stronghold) for 1000 Order Resources. Before you can buy this color variant, you must first obtain the base version of the mount —
Netherlord's Chaotic Wrathsteed — through the class hall quest chain.
Why you want this mount
- Warlock exclusive — the mount is available to only one class, making it a symbol of belonging and granting a unique form of travel that other players don't have.
- Alternate color variant — the brimstone version differs from the base chaotic one: its bright orange-red hide and blazing mane stand out against the standard demonic steeds.
- Flying mount — full travel speed in the air and on the ground, suitable for any zone where flying is allowed.
- Available to all warlocks on the account — once purchased by one warlock, the mount appears in the collection of every warlock on your account.
- Part of the three-color class collection — together with the base chaotic and the
Netherlord's Accursed Wrathsteed (purple), it completes the full set of class variants.
Requirements and prerequisites
The mount is purchased rather than dropped, but only warlocks who have completed the Legion class hall quest chain are eligible to buy it.
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Class | Warlock only |
| Character level | 45 (after level scaling) |
| Riding skill | Apprentice Riding (ground portion) / Expert Riding (flying) |
| Base mount | |
| Achievement | Breaching the Tomb (for completing the Armies of Legionfall campaign on the Broken Shore) |
| Currency | 1000 Order Resources |
The achievement Breaching the Tomb is awarded account-wide. If you've already earned a class mount on another character of any class, you don't need to repeat this step. Each new warlock still has to complete the base class hall chain and the first two Armies of Legionfall quests before being sent to Mor'zul for the mount's starting quest.
How to obtain
The path to the
Hellblazing Reins of the Brimstone Wrathsteed breaks down into two major stages: first, the base chaotic mount through the class hall scenario, then the purchase from Calydus.
- Complete the warlock class campaign in the Dreadscar Rift, up to finishing the last stage with the order's third champion
- Complete the Armies of Legionfall chain on the Broken Shore until you earn the achievement Breaching the Tomb (if you don't already have it)
- Pick up the quest Champions of Legionfall from Maiev Shadowsong at Deliverance Point on the Broken Shore and turn it in
- Near Maiev, take the quest A Message from the Blood Herald from Mor'zul Bloodbringer — this is the starting point of the warlock class mount
- Work through the quest chain, gathering the components for the summoning: 5 Felslate, 3 Chaos Spheres, a Potion of Unrelenting Resolve, an Overloaded Fel Core from a Legion invasion, and 50 units of Owlbeast Blood.
- Complete the final scenario The Wrathsteed of Xoroth — defeat Arax'ath and enslave the Wrathsteed of Xoroth.
- Receive
Netherlord's Chaotic Wrathsteed as a reward — the first color variant in the collection - Return to the Dreadscar Rift, approach Calydus near the artifact altar, and buy the

How to reach the Dreadscar Rift
The warlock class hall is located in a separate demonic dimension. There's no overland route there — only a teleport spell.
- Any warlock above level 10 automatically learns the spell Teleport: Dreadscar Rift after their first visit to the class hall during the Legion starting chain
- If you're only just starting the class mount and opening the class hall for the first time, follow the marker of the introductory Legion quest chain that begins in Dalaran on the Broken Isles
- Inside the class hall, Calydus stands by the artifact altar in the central chamber, near the entrance to the scenario portals
Optimization: how to gather Order Resources faster
By the time they reach the class mount finale, most warlocks already have 1000 Order Resources, because the currency is handed out generously for story quests. If you're short — here's where to top up.
- Champion missions in the Dreadscar Rift — regularly send followers on missions that reward Order Resources. The mission table is in the main hall
- World quests on the Broken Isles — many of them give 30–80 Order Resources per completion
- Armies of Legionfall campaign quests — while earning Breaching the Tomb you'll collect the needed amount anyway
- Treasure chests in the Broken Isles zones — some of them contain Order Resources
- Daily champion quests in the class hall — after reaching level 45 and activating the campaign
At The War Within max level (80), all Legion content scales down, and mobs die in 1–2 hits. You can gather the missing resources in a couple of hours of free play.
The three-color collection
Hellblazing Reins of the Brimstone Wrathsteed is one of three color variants of the warlock class mount. For a complete collection, it makes sense to gather all three variants.
| Color variant | Item / source | How to obtain |
|---|---|---|
| Chaotic (green) | Reward for the quest The Wrathsteed of Xoroth | |
| Brimstone (orange-red) | Purchase from Calydus for 1000 Order Resources | |
| Accursed (purple) | Loot from Lord Hel'nurath — a boss of a rare demonic ritual on the Broken Shore |
Tips
Start saving Order Resources early — during the class campaign, don't waste them on cosmetics. By the time you reach the mount finale you should have at least 1500 resources.
Don't skip the third champion — the mount chain only unlocks after fully completing the class hall campaign, including recruiting all three champions.
Look for Lord Hel'nurath in parallel — you can run the demonic rituals on the Broken Shore at the same time as farming resources. The purple variant of the mount is a random drop, so it's worth closing it out right away too.
Run the scenario The Wrathsteed of Xoroth with a Felguard or Succubus pet — the scenario is designed around warlock mechanics, so these particular pets make it easier: the Felguard absorbs the ritualists' magic, the Succubus controls single targets.
Use a Healthstone and Drain Life — there's no group or healer in the scenario, so self-healing is critical. Don't be stingy with stones
Only buy from Calydus after obtaining the base mount — the brimstone reins won't appear in his goods list until you have
Netherlord's Chaotic Wrathsteed in your collection. This is a common reason players think the vendor is "broken."
At level 80 the whole chain can be done solo in 1–2 hours — if you already have Breaching the Tomb from another character. Without the achievement, add 2–3 hours for the Legionfall campaign
The mount is available to all warlocks on the account — you only need to buy it once. The rest of the warlocks on the same account get it automatically.
