Overview

Luxurious Riding Crane

Game iconLuxurious Riding Crane is an epic ground mount added to World of Warcraft in patch 10.2.7 "WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria" on May 7, 2024. It is a majestic purple crane with a rich blue saddle and feathered ornaments, using the updated Pandaren crane model. The item's flavor text reads: "A magnificent bird, but rather picky about its food."

The mount was sold for 2,200 Bronze by Hemet Nesingwary XVII, located in the Infinite Bazaar. Access to the mount was open to all factions and classes through special event-zone characters. After the event ended on August 20, 2024, the item was marked as removed, but every previously purchased mount remained in account collections forever.

Why you want this mount

  • Unique crane coloration — a deep purple-violet hue with an azure saddle sets this crane apart from the classic variants of the original Mists of Pandaria expansion. This coloration cannot be obtained in the regular game
  • Event exclusive — the mount was only available during WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria. If it is already in your collection, it marks your participation in one of the most striking limited-time events
  • Ground mount with maximum speed — the crane gains a +60% or +100% movement speed bonus depending on your riding skill, matching the peak of ground transport
  • Account-wide — once obtained, the mount automatically appears in the collection of every character, regardless of faction, race, and class
  • One of seven color variants — alongside the luxurious crane, others were sold in WoW Remix as well. All cost 2,200 Bronze

How to get it

The mount was available exclusively during the seasonal WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria event, which ran from May 16 to August 19, 2024. After August 20, 2024, a direct purchase became impossible. If the event returns in the future (Blizzard hinted at reviving the Remix format), the path to the mount would be as follows:

  1. Log into the game during an active WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria period (the event last ran from May 16 to August 5, 2024, in patch 10.2.7)
  2. Create or select a character — regular retail characters do not take part in the event
  3. Level your hero to at least level 10 and complete the introductory story to unlock the Infinite Bazaar in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms
  4. Save up at least 2,200 Bronze. The currency drops from any enemies, quests, dungeons, and raids of Pandaria
  5. Approach Hemet Nesingwary XVII at the Infinite Bazaar
  6. Open the mounts tab and purchase the Game iconReins of the Luxurious Riding Crane
  7. Use the item to learn the mount — it will immediately appear in your account-wide collection

Bronze — the single event currency

The entire WoW Remix economy was built around Bronze. This currency paid for mounts, pets, transmog sets, toys, and relics. Collecting every reward in full cost more than 1.5 million Bronze, so players focused on the most efficient ways to earn it.

Activity Reward type Efficiency
Dungeons and scenarios Repeatable High
Pandaria raids Weekly lock Very high
Old-faction daily quests Repeatable Medium
Zone achievements One-time Very high
Bronze orbs in the sky No limit Low, but passive
Mob farming in hotspots Repeatable Medium

Tips

1

Buy event exclusives first — the cranes cost only 2,200 Bronze each, and if the event returns it makes sense to collect all seven colorations before moving on to pricier mounts at 4,400 and 6,600 Bronze

2

Don't spend Bronze on transmog before the mounts close — armor sets can often be obtained through the in-game collection and in regular WoW, whereas the exclusive mounts will never be sold again

3

Watch for announcements — Blizzard positions the Remix format as recurring, and Mists of Pandaria may become available again. Bookmark the official WoW site and Wowhead

4

Use alts in parallel — if the event returns, leveling several characters increases your total Bronze haul and speeds up purchasing the entire mount collection

5

The mount works only as a ground mount — despite being a crane, it does not lift off in the flight animation. Keep this in mind when choosing transport in flyable zones

6

The mount is account-wide once obtained — as soon as you buy the ability_mount_cranemountReins of the Luxurious Riding Crane on one character, the crane appears in the mount collection of all your characters, regardless of faction and class
