Get Pale Acidmaw mount
Overview

Pale Acidmaw is a ground mount from the World of Warcraft: Shadowlands expansion, one of the three pale variations of gormlings — enormous insect-like creatures that inhabit Ardenweald and serve the Wild Hunt's night folk. Unlike their green, blue and orange kin, pale gorms feature a ghostly-white chitinous carapace with a bluish sheen, giving them a mystical and somewhat sinister appearance.
The main feature of this mount is its universal availability. Although it can be obtained through the features of all four covenants of the Shadowlands, each path requires its own set of actions, reputation and effort. The mount was added in patch 9.0.1 alongside the release of Shadowlands and became one of the main collection goals for players investing in leveling their covenant features.
Why you want this mount
- Unique gorm model — the pale color variation is rare and stands out among the game's other ground mounts
- Available to all covenants — regardless of which covenant you chose, the mount can be obtained through its feature
- One of three pale gorms — collectors can gather the whole trio (green, orange and pale) through different covenant features
- Maximum speed — 100% ground speed with the appropriate riding skill
- Requires no raids or dungeons — the entire acquisition process is focused on covenant activities
- Account-bound — once obtained, the mount becomes available to all characters on the account
- Excellent covenant progress milestone — obtaining the mount confirms substantial development of your chosen covenant's feature
How to obtain
Pale Acidmaw can be obtained in four different ways — one for each covenant of the Shadowlands. You only need one of them to add the mount to your collection. If you switch covenants, you can combine several methods, but it is easiest to focus on your current one.
Method 1. Necrolords — Abomination Factory
The most predictable way to obtain the mount: after reaching Exalted with the Stitchmasters you can simply buy it from a vendor.
- Choose the Necrolords covenant in Maldraxxus
- Unlock access to the Abomination Factory feature in the House of Plagues, the active part of the Seat of the Primus covenant sanctum
- Build reputation with the Stitchmasters faction by completing weekly quests and creating abominations at the factory
- Reach Exalted status
- Accumulate 5000 Reservoir Anima
- Head to the vendor at the Abomination Factory and purchase the
Pale Acidmaw for 5000 anima
Method 2. Kyrian — Path of Ascension
Kyrian obtain the mount from a nearby vendor after completing an achievement on the Path of Ascension.
- Join the Kyrian covenant in Bastion
- Level the Path of Ascension feature to rank 3
- Complete the achievement The Best There Was by finishing the specified Path of Ascension trials
- Accumulate 2500 Reservoir Anima
- Visit the vendor in the Elysian Hold covenant sanctum
- Purchase the
Pale Acidmaw for 2500 anima — this is the cheapest way to obtain it
Method 3. Night Fae — Queen's Conservatory
For the Night Fae the mount drops with a random chance from a chest for successfully growing a spirit in the Queen's Conservatory.
- Join the Night Fae covenant in Ardenweald
- Level the Queen's Conservatory feature to rank 5
- Use Untamed-type spirits
- Place catalysts with four Wild Root Seeds in adjacent fertile plots
- Wait for the cycle to finish and collect the reward chest
- With some chance the
Pale Acidmaw will drop from the chest — the chance is higher when using a higher-quality spirit
Method 4. Venthyr — Ember Court
Venthyr obtain the mount from tribute chests at the end of an Ember Court reception.
- Join the Venthyr covenant in Revendreth
- Level the Ember Court feature to at least rank 3
- Reach the "Best Friend" relationship level with the guests from Ardenweald — Hunt-Captain Korayn or Lady Moonberry
- Host Ember Court receptions, inviting these guests and ensuring that their happiness level reaches the maximum value "Delighted"
- At the end of a successful reception, open the tribute chests — substantial, opulent or luxurious
- With a chance the
Pale Acidmaw will drop from the chest; the probability is higher with higher-quality tributes
General
- Character level 60 and above
- Apprentice Riding skill
- Completion of the Shadowlands introductory campaign and selection of a covenant
- Unlocked access to the covenant feature
Tips
Plan weekly activities — in all four covenants obtaining the mount is tied to weekly cycles of leveling features. Mark reset days on your calendar and complete key quests right after the refresh
Stockpile Reservoir Anima in advance — if you play Kyrian or Necrolords, start setting aside Reservoir Anima before reaching the required feature rank so you don't have to wait after leveling
For the Night Fae use maximum-quality spirits — a Divine Untamed Spirit gives the highest chance for rare rewards from the Queen's Conservatory chest
Don't forget the seeds — for a chance at the mount you need exactly four Wild Root Seeds in adjacent catalyst fertile plots, not other seeds
In the Ember Court invite guests from Ardenweald — only Hunt-Captain Korayn and Lady Moonberry are tied to this mount's drop, so build your sessions around them
Level your relationships with guests to "Best Friend" — this requires several receptions with repeated invitations, but significantly increases the quality of rewards
Check the correctness of the covenant feature — not all features grant access to the mount immediately; make sure you have the required rank unlocked before spending resources
Combine with other rewards — all four methods, besides the Pale Acidmaw, grant other valuable cosmetic items, transmogs and pets, so don't consider the time wasted
Keep an eye on covenant updates — in later Shadowlands patches some restrictions on switching covenants were eased, making it easier to obtain mounts from different sources when needed
