Mottled Meadowstomper

Mottled Meadowstomper is a ground mount from the elekk family, added in the Warlords of Draenor expansion. It is a massive mottled elekk with a distinctive gray-green coloring that roams the steppes of Nagrand on Draenor. The mount drops at a 100% chance from the rare opponent Luk'hok, so the main challenge is not killing the monster, but finding it: Luk'hok appears once every 12-28 hours at several spots in the eastern part of Nagrand.

In the current version the mount is still obtained the same way. Because the loot is personal and not tied to whoever lands the final blow, you can hunt either solo or in a competitive environment on crowded servers.

The Mottled Meadowstomper is valuable for several reasons:

• Guaranteed drop. A 100% drop chance when killing Luk'hok, which is rare for WoW mounts from raid and rare opponents.
• Collection value. +1 to your mount count and credit toward achievements for the number of mounts collected.
• Unique model. A large elekk with a mottled hide, noticeably different from the standard Draenor steeds.
• Personal loot. Every participant in the fight receives their own copy of the item, so you can bring a raid to the kill without competing for the loot.

To obtain the Mottled Meadowstomper you need to meet several conditions:

• Character level: 10 and above (entry to Draenor opens through the Dark Portal intro questline).
• Riding skill: Apprentice Riding or higher.
• Access to Draenor: the completed Warlords of Draenor intro questline and a built garrison for quick teleportation.
• Patience: Luk'hok's respawn is 12-28 hours, so multiple visits are often required.

You can reach Nagrand through the portal in the garrison (the "Draenor Zones" tab) or by flying in from neighboring Draenor locations once flight points are unlocked.

Step 1. Prepare your access to Draenor. If you have not been to Draenor yet, complete the intro questline at the Dark Portal (Alliance - from Stormwind, Horde - from Orgrimmar). After building the garrison, a portal to Nagrand will open.

Step 2. Fly to Nagrand. Use the portal in the garrison or a flight point in Eldunar/Telmod. Your target is the eastern part of the zone, east of the river and all the way to the Throne of the Elements.

Step 3. Patrol the spawn points. Luk'hok wanders between several fixed points. The main coordinates:

• /way Nagrand (Draenor) 76.2 30.4
• /way Nagrand (Draenor) 66.6 43.2
• /way Nagrand (Draenor) 73.0 53.6
• /way Nagrand (Draenor) 79.4 55.4
• /way Nagrand (Draenor) 84.8 63.8

Go around all the points in a circle - this is the fastest way to find the elekk.

Step 4. Kill Luk'hok. It is a former level 100 elite that, at today's level 90, is killed solo in a few seconds. If there are other players nearby, just land at least one hit - the loot is given to every participant.

Step 5. Claim the mount. Mottled Meadowstomper will be guaranteed in the loot. Right-click the item to add it to your mount collection.

Step 6. If you're out of luck, come back later. If Luk'hok is dead or not spawning, wait 12-28 hours and repeat the patrol of the points.

To cut down the search time, use the following tricks:

• The NPCScan or RareScanner addon. Alerts will trigger as soon as Luk'hok appears within loading range, and you won't miss the spawn.
• Combine the route with other rares. Nagrand is home to Nakk the Thunderer and Gugek - which also grant mounts. A single flyover of the zone can net several rare steeds at once.
• Switch servers (Layer/CRZ). On crowded servers you can switch your group via the group finder, landing on a different layer with an untouched Luk'hok.
• Follow rare trackers. Sites and Discord channels for Draenor's rare creatures often post the current spawn time.
• Use speed-boosting mount sprints. The Swift Steel Mount or any mount with increased speed cuts down the time to circle the points.
