Overview

Reins of the Night Pterrorwing

Game iconReins of the Night Pterrorwing is a flying pterrorwing mount added to World of Warcraft in patch 10.2.7 alongside the limited-time event WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria. It is a winged saurian in a dark blue-purple coloration, a relative of the pterrordax of the Krasarang Wilds and the Townlong Steppes. According to the item description, scholars interpret this creature's eerie shrieks as "fear me, for I am the night."

The mount was sold for 4,400 Bronze by Hemet Nesingwary XVII at the Infinite Bazaar in Pandaria during the remix. After the event ended, the mount moved into the retired category and is unavailable until the event possibly returns, though already-learned copies remain in the collection on retail.

Why You Want This Mount

  • Unique model — a dark pterrodactyl with purple highlights on its wings, the only "night" variant among all of Pandaria's pterrorwings
  • Full flying functionality — supports both classic flying and skyriding, with speed varying by riding skill and location
  • Available on retail — once purchased and learned during the remix, the mount transfers to your account's permanent characters
  • One of four pterrorwings — sold for Bronze alongside it were the Game iconReins of the Jade Pterrordax, the Game iconReins of the Amber Pterrordax, and the Game iconReins of the Bloody Skyscreamer
  • Low Bronze cost — at 4,400 units it is one of the most affordable mount categories from Hemet Nesingwary; in the same farming time you can collect all four pterrorwings at once
  • Rarity status — after the remix closed, the mount became a collector's prize: new players can no longer obtain it until the event returns

How to Obtain

The only path to the mount is the WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria event. If the remix is active, follow these steps.

  1. Create or activate a character in Timerunner mode through the dedicated character-select screen in the World of Warcraft menu
  2. Complete the introductory storyline and arrive in Pandaria — the starting zone depends on your chosen faction
  3. Accumulate at least 4,400 Bronze through daily quests, dungeons, raids, world rares, and gear scrapping
  4. Find Hemet Nesingwary XVII at any of Pandaria's Infinite Bazaars
  5. In the mounts category, select the Reins of the Night Pterrorwing and buy the item
  6. Use the reins — the mount is automatically added to the current character's collection, and after transfer to retail it becomes available to the whole account

The Remix Pterrorwing Family

Hemet Nesingwary XVII sells four pterrorwing variants at once for the same price. Each has a unique coloration, and most collectors buy them together.

Mount ID Price Color
Reins of the Night Pterrorwing 213622 4,400 Bronze Dark purple
Reins of the Jade Pterrordax 213621 4,400 Bronze Green
Reins of the Amber Pterrordax 218111 4,400 Bronze Amber yellow
Reins of the Bloody Skyscreamer 213623 4,400 Bronze Blood red

In total, the full set of four pterrorwings requires 17,600 Bronze — about 18 daily exploration quests or several raid runs on a Timerunner.

Where to Get Bronze

Bronze drops from almost any activity in the remix, but there are the most efficient sources.

  1. Daily tasks at the Infinite Bazaar — talk to the herald near Hemet Nesingwary XVII and take quests to kill rares, clear raid wings, and gather timewarped ore and herbs. The reward is 1,000 Bronze and an epic cache for each completed task
  2. Clearing dungeons and raids — every dungeon and raid guarantees several hundred Bronze plus gear to scrap
  3. Pandaria world rares — marked with special icons on the map, they reward caches and Bronze; some also have a chance at exclusive mounts
  4. Scrapping gear — surplus threads and items, once you reach the stat cap, can be turned into Bronze via the Quicksand ability
  5. Heroic World difficulty — in heroic world mode, Bronze and gear drop more often, which is especially profitable on awakened characters

Tips

1

Buy all the pterrorwings at once — the models are cheap, and spending one or two evenings on dailies can clear all four variants. Each color counts as a separate mount in the collection

2

Don't put it off until the end of the event — Blizzard remixes are time-limited, and after closing the mounts move to the retired category. It is better to start farming Bronze right when a remix begins

3

Use multiple characters — each Timerunner receives their own "Anywhere, Right Now" cache of 15,000 Bronze for completing the introductory quest, which significantly speeds up farming

4

Buy remix exclusives first — prioritize mounts that are not on retail. Rare Pandaria mounts can still be farmed after the remix in regular WoW

5

The mount transfers to the account — after learning the Reins of the Night Pterrorwing on a Timerunner and moving the character to retail, the mount becomes available to all your characters, regardless of faction and class

6

Track return announcements — Blizzard has already run similar remixes (Legion Remix), and Mists of Pandaria Remix has a chance of relaunching. Follow the news on the official Blizzard website

Started playing back in Pandaria, when the pandaren were still a novelty. Got stuck on Monk because it's the only class where you don't get dizzy after a dash. Tries to manage both tanking and kicking enemies in the face.
