Overview

Obsidian Vorquin

Game iconObsidian Vorquin is a ground mount added in patch 10.0.2 of the Dragonflight expansion. It is the racial mount of the dracthyr — noble winged warriors awakened from a centuries-long slumber in the Forbidden Reach. Vorquins are described as creatures revered for their resilience in battle, even against dragonfire, and serve as the favored steeds of the dracthyr cavalry.

The Obsidian Vorquin is one of the four basic color variants of the vorquin. It is distinguished by its dark, almost black coloring with a characteristic obsidian sheen. The mount binds when acquired and becomes available to all characters on the account once learned.

How to Obtain

There are two ways to obtain the Obsidian Vorquin: through a quest in the dracthyr starting zone or from a vendor for gold.

Method 1: The Quest "Cavalry in Place"

While completing the dracthyr starting quest chain in the Forbidden Reach, you will receive the quest No Cavalry Without from the NPC Treysh. This is a level 10 quest available only to characters of the dracthyr race.

As a reward for completing the quest, you choose one of four vorquins:

In addition to the mount, the quest teaches riding skills: "Apprentice Riding" and "Journeyman Riding."

Method 2: Purchase from a Vendor

If you chose a different vorquin in the quest or want to obtain the mount on an existing character, the Obsidian Vorquin is sold by two vendors.

Item Game iconObsidian Vorquin

Requirements

  • Character level: 10
  • Riding skill: Apprentice Riding
  • Race: to purchase directly, a character of the dracthyr race is required. Characters of other races can acquire the mount upon reaching Exalted reputation with the Obsidian Warders (Alliance) or Dark Talons (Horde) faction
  • Binding: binds when acquired
  • For all characters: once learned, the mount is available on all characters on the account

Tips

1

Create a dracthyr — the fastest way to obtain the Obsidian Vorquin. Complete the starting zone (takes about an hour), choose the vorquin you want in the quest and, if desired, buy the rest from Treysh for gold

2

Don't rush your choice in the quest — all four basic vorquins cost the same (40 gold), so in the quest choose the one you like best visually. You can still purchase the others from the vendor

3

Buy all the vorquins at once — the total cost of the three remaining basic vorquins is only 120 gold. For a mount collector this is a minimal expense, and all eight vorquins (including the armored ones) will cost 400 gold

4

For characters of other races — if you don't want to create a dracthyr, raise your reputation with the Obsidian Warders (Alliance) or Dark Talons (Horde) faction to Exalted. However, keep in mind: creating a dracthyr and completing the starting zone will take significantly less time

5

The mount is available on all characters — once you learn the Obsidian Vorquin on any character, it will appear in your mount collection and become available account-wide

6

Use Tethelash in Valdrakken — if you've returned to the game after a long break and your dracthyr has already left the Forbidden Reach, there is no need to find a way back. All vorquins are sold by Tethelash in the Obsidian Enclave of Valdrakken
