Get Armored Frostboar mount

The Armored Frostboar is a ground mount from the Warlords of Draenor era, the reward for the Advanced Husbandry achievement. The boar is clad in heavy plate armor with blue accents and spiked pauldrons, making it one of the most recognizable boar mounts in the game. In the current version of The War Within (TWW, patch 11.1, 2026), the mount is earned in exactly the same way as in the original: through your Draenor garrison and a series of training rides across Nagrand. The reward is added to your collection automatically once the achievement is completed — no mail, no item in your bags.

The farm is designed for a single player and takes one or two evenings at level 80. With TWW character scaling, killing the required targets is easy even with the Black Claw of Sethe debuff active; the key is to correctly distribute the mobs among your six training mounts.

• Collection and mount score. The mount is added to your collection through the achievement and counts toward Draenor meta-achievements such as "Mountacular" and your overall collection counters.
• Complete the "Armored" mount set. The boar is part of the line of armored mounts (wolf, hawk, elekk, moose) that collectors gather as a whole for a unified visual style.
• Unique model. The Armored Frostboar stands out from standard Draenor boars with its massive armor and attack animation — a rare pick among riders even years later.
• Fully solo content. No group, raid, or specific seasonal event is needed to obtain it — you are fully in control of when you farm.

• Character level: the mount is technically available the moment your garrison is built, but in TWW it is most convenient to do at level 80 — the mobs in Nagrand become trivial.
• Riding skill: Apprentice Riding (the basic skill is enough; the Draenor stable training mounts work in Nagrand regardless of your overall skill).
• A level 2 Draenor garrison with a level 2 Stables (the large building) constructed. Without the Stables there are no training mounts.
• Faction: the requirements are identical for Alliance and Horde.
• How to get to Draenor: in Orgrimmar/Stormwind, find the NPC by the Chromie/Timewalking display or use the "Timewalking" menu. The first quest series unlocks access to Shadowmoon Valley and your garrison.
• Additionally: it is advisable to complete the introductory stable quests from Keegan Firebeard (Alliance) or Tormak the Scarred (Horde) to obtain all six training mounts.

Step 1. Build and upgrade the Stables

In your Draenor garrison, choose the Stables as one of your large buildings. Build it up to level 2 — for this you need the Blueprint: Stables, Level 2, which is bought from Draenor architects or drops from garrison missions. It is at level 2 that the quests for taming the six training mounts unlock, along with the ability to pick up the Black Claw of Sethe.

Step 2. Complete the six training mount quests

From the stable keeper, take the quest chain: each quest rewards you with one training mount. There are six in total:

• Training Wolf/Ram;
• Training Talbuk;
• Training Elekk;
• Training Riverbeast;
• Training Clefthoof;
• Training Boar.

Each mount goes into a separate slot and works only within the stable quests. Without completing these quests you cannot earn the achievement.

Step 3. Pick up the Black Claw of Sethe

After upgrading the Stables to level 2, enter the building once: a glowing object, the Black Claw of Sethe, will appear on the ground. Pick it up — the item goes into your bag and grants a debuff of the same name when you mount a training mount. Under the debuff, your speed is reduced by 25% and incoming damage is increased by 25%. It is in this state that you must kill the achievement bosses.

Step 4. Fly to Nagrand

Use the portal from your garrison or a hearthstone. All six targets are in Nagrand, and it is easiest to travel between them on a regular flying mount, switching to a training mount on the ground — the debuff only works during ground movement.

Step 5. Kill six targets with each of the six mounts

Under the effect of the Black Claw of Sethe, while mounted on a training mount, kill in turn:

• Gorian Beast-Lasher — roughly 79, 71;
• Moth of Wrath — roughly 43, 69;
• Thundercall — roughly 90, 23;
• Ironbore — roughly 53, 77;
• Karak the Great Hunter — roughly 69, 34;
• Maimclaw — roughly 63, 80.

Each of the six bosses must be defeated while you are mounted on each of the six training mounts. In total: 6 × 6 = 36 kills. You can swap mounts at any time — what matters is that the finishing blow is dealt while you are riding the right training mount and have the Black Claw of Sethe in your inventory.

Step 6. Get the mount

After the 36th qualifying kill, the Advanced Husbandry achievement is awarded. The Armored Frostboar is automatically added to your mount collection — check the "Collections → Mounts → Draenor" section.

• Go target by target in a loop, not mount by mount. It is more convenient to visit each boss once and cycle through all six training mounts there, rather than circling the map six times. Each boss stands at an isolated point without a large number of surrounding mobs.
• Open flight points in advance. Before you start farming, be sure to activate all the nearby wind riders' masters in Nagrand — this drastically reduces flights between targets.
• Drop the debuff when needed. If you want to travel quickly over long distances, simply put the Black Claw of Sethe in the bank — then you can use regular mounts at full speed. Return the item to your bag before the kill.
• Don't try to use your class combat abilities. Only finishing blows dealt by the training mount itself count. All the abilities you need are on the mount's action bar; class skills are mostly disabled.
• At level 80 it's easiest. Even with the debuff, targets die in 20–40 seconds. If you decide to do the achievement at a low level, bring along a friend who can chip away at the mob's health — your last hit is what counts.
• Watch respawns. All six NPCs respawn relatively quickly (2–5 minutes), so killing a single target back-to-back with all six mounts usually works without downtime.
