Pattie's Cap

Pattie's Cap is an epic ground mount added in patch 10.1.5 of the Dragonflight expansion. It is a white alpaca named Pattie who wears a detective's hat and helps adventurers with their investigations. The mount is a reward for completing the Whodunnit? achievement as part of the Secrets of Azeroth world event.

According to the lore, the preservationist Kathos met Pattie during her first assignment in Vol'dun. The alpaca showed an aptitude for preservationist work and now enthusiastically helps adventurers with their investigations.

• Unique model — a white alpaca in a detective's hat. One of the few alpacas in the game and the only one with this kind of styling.
• Permanently available — although the Secrets of Azeroth event was temporary, all of the puzzles and rewards remain in the game forever. You can complete the achievement at any time.
• Bonus rewards — on the way to the mount you will obtain several unique toys: the Torch of Pyrreth, the Thinking Cap, and the Idol of Ohn'ahra, all of which are useful for solving the puzzles.
