Trained Rocktusk

Trained Rocktusk is a war boar from the Warlords of Draenor era that the player earns after a series of quests in the Garrison Stables. The mount is a ground mount, uses Apprentice Riding, and unlocks at character level 17. In 2026, during Midnight, this mount remains available to grind and is still considered one of the most atmospheric "boar" steeds in the collection.

The rocktusk is a large armored boar with reddish bristles and distinctive tusks that resemble mountain stone. The model was created specifically for the stable quest series and appears only among the six Draenor mounts trained in the Stables.

• A unique boar model that no other mount in the game has.
• An excellent "collector's" mount: +1 to your overall mount count.
• The quest chain is fully solo and requires no raids, dungeons, or random drops.

Before you start the grind, make sure you have everything you need.

• A character of level 40 or higher (50+ recommended for fast Draenor progression).
• Garrison unlocked in Draenor — completed the Stormshield or Lunarfall introductory storyline.
• Garrison upgraded to level 2.
• An outpost established in Nagrand.
• The Stables blueprint purchased from the blueprint vendor for 1000 gold.
• Level 1 Stables built on a large garrison plot.
• Character level 17 and Apprentice Riding skill.

The Stables can be visited on any character; they are account-bound through the mount collection: once you earn the rocktusk, you unlock it for all of your characters.

The rocktusk chain consists of an initial capture and nine daily training sessions. It takes about 10 real days due to the daily cooldowns on the quests.

Step 1. Build the Stables

Head to your garrison, open the architect's table, and erect the Stables on a large plot. If the large plot is currently occupied by another building, demolish it — the Stables will be needed for at least 10–12 days.

Step 2. Pick Up the Introductory Quest at the Stables

Enter the Stables. The quest giver (Keegan Firebeard for the Alliance or Tormak the Scarred for the Horde) will hand out a series of six starter quests for different mounts. One of them — Besting a Boar — sends you to Gorgrond.

Step 3. Capture a Young Rocktusk

Fly to Gorgrond, to the Tangleheart area. You will have a Boar Snare equipped. Find a Young Rocktusk, use the snare on it, and follow it until it tires out. Then interact with it — the quest is credited, and the apprentice boar appears in your Stables.

Step 4. Complete the Daily Training Sessions

Each day, return to the quest giver at the Stables and pick up the next training quest. You mount the apprentice boar and complete a combat task. The quest list:

1. Boar Training: Moth of Wrath
2. Boar Training: Darkwing Roc
3. Boar Training: Thundercall
4. Boar Training: Cruel Ogres
5. Boar Training: Orc Hunters
6. Other rotating quests focused on prey and endurance.

The order may differ from this list — the game hands out quests in a random sequence. In total, you need to complete 9 training days.

Step 5. Final Fight with Maimclaw

On the tenth day, you will be offered the quest Boar Training: The Garn. Fly to Nagrand, to the lair of Maimclaw — a lone garn in the northern part of the zone. Fight it without dismounting from the apprentice boar. The fight lasts about 1–2 minutes, with no special mechanics — the main thing is to stay mounted and use the abilities from the boar's bar.

After the victory, turn in the quest at the Stables and receive the Trained Rocktusk and 50 garrison resources.

• Visit the Stables every day at the same time — this guarantees you won't miss the daily reset and will finish within 10 real days.
• Use a garrison flying mount to travel quickly between Gorgrond and Nagrand.
• If you have several characters with garrisons, run the chain on one — the mount is account-bound and will automatically appear on all of them.
• Before the final fight with Maimclaw, clear the surrounding mobs so a random add doesn't knock you out of the saddle.
