Priestess' Moonsaber

Priestess' Moonsaber is a flying mount from the Battle for Azeroth expansion, added in patch 8.1.0 "Tides of Vengeance" (December 2018). It is an elegant armored nightsaber in white-and-silver tack bearing the symbols of Elune, visually reminiscent of the jeweled panthers of Pandaria. According to its in-game description, such a beast was once granted only to the high priestesses of Elune — after the burning of Teldrassil, the night elves opened access to it for the defenders of the Alliance.

The mount is purchased only with the 7th Legion Service Medal — a currency earned on the Warfront: The Battle for Darkshore, from Darkshore world quests, by killing the world boss, and in Island Expeditions. The vendor is Provisioner Stoutforge in the harbor of Boralus, by the gangway of the ship "Wind's Redemption." The price is 750 medals. The matching mount for the Horde is the Bloodthirsty Dreadwing, but the Moonsaber can be acquired only on an Alliance character.

• A flying saber cat — a rare model category, as sabers previously existed only as ground mounts for night elves. The Priestess' Moonsaber spreads silvery wings of Elune's light and flies at up to +310% speed with the Master Riding skill.
• A unique Alliance design — it stands out among the uniform hippogryphs and dragons of Kul Tiras: a recognizable breastplate, engraved greaves, and a glowing crescent on its brow.
• Account-wide access — once purchased, the mount unlocks for all Alliance characters on the account, including future characters of new classes and races.
• No raids or dungeons required — it is obtained solely through warfront quests, world quests, and the weekly world boss. No group progression is needed.
• A useful side farm — over the same purchasing cycle you also pick up the Azureshell Krolusk and other items from the same vendor, Darkshore transmog sets, and warfront achievements.

• An Alliance character of any race and class
• Level 10+ (since patch 9.0.1 the requirement was lowered from 20 to 10)
• The Apprentice Riding skill for ground riding and the Expert Flying skill for flight
• Access to Boralus — the Battle for Azeroth introductory storyline completed and the Kul Tiras harbor unlocked
• 750 7th Legion Service Medal

The maximum number of medals in your wallet is capped at 2,000, so spend what you've saved before buying the next goods to avoid hitting the ceiling.

The vendor stands in the harbor of Boralus, in Tiragarde Sound, next to the 7th Legion flagship.

1. Portal to Boralus: the portal room in Stormwind (in the Mage Quarter near the portal mages). For characters who have completed the BfA storyline, a portal from the 7th Legion command room is also available.
2. From the arrival point, walk along the dock by the "Wind's Redemption" pier (the 7th Legion battleship headquarters).
3. The vendor stands right at the ship's gangway. Coordinates: /way #895 66.9 25.8 Provisioner Stoutforge
4. In her inventory, on the separate "For Medals" tab, select the Priestess' Moonsaber and confirm the purchase.

The "Battle for Darkshore" warfront

The warfront is the main source of medals. It alternates with the Arathi warfront roughly every two weeks, with each faction's access opening in turn.

1. Wait until the Alliance enters the contribution phase — a quest chain to prepare will appear in the 7th Legion command room
2. Turn in resources via world quests in the Kul Tiras and Zandalar zones — gold, herbs, ore, leather, and fish are required
3. When the readiness bar reaches 100%, take the quest Warfront: The Battle for Darkshore from the officer in the command room
4. Enter the warfront through Group Finder, complete the scenario (20–25 minutes), and receive 30 medals plus a chest of Darkshore gear
5. Patch 8.3 added the Heroic Warfront: The Battle for Darkshore — run by a raid of 10–20 players, it rewards 15 medals, item level 460 gear, and access to purchase the Sandy Nightsaber

World quests and the world boss

While the Alliance controls Darkshore, world quests and a world boss are available there.

• Daily world quests in Darkshore — 5 quests per day, each giving 6 medals. Over the full cycle you can gather up to 60 medals.
• The world boss Ivus the Decayed (for the Horde, "Ivus the Forest Lord") appears once per cycle and gives 15 medals plus item level 400 gear.
• One-time quests for rares and chests in Darkshore — another 20–30 medals per cycle.

Island Expeditions and battlegrounds

• Island Expeditions — for completing the weekly azerite quest from the 7th Legion representative in Boralus you receive a small number of medals
• Daily random 10-versus-10 battlegrounds and epic 40-versus-40 ones — 10–30 medals per win depending on the format
• 2-versus-2 and 3-versus-3 arenas — a few medals per win

Approximate pace

With active play, one full warfront cycle (two weeks) brings 150–200 medals: 30 for the warfront itself, 60–90 for world quests, 15 for the world boss, 15 for the heroic warfront, and the rest from battlegrounds. A full mount purchase takes 4 to 6 cycles, that is roughly 2–3 months.

Across several characters at once

Medal stores are bound to a specific character, but each character has its own limit. Run two or three characters in parallel: one saving for the Priestess' Moonsaber, a second for transmog sets, a third for toys. Chests with item level 460 gear from the heroic warfront are useful for the wardrobe on every class.

Don't forget the weekly chest

A warfront victory counts once per cycle and gives a guaranteed gear chest. If you missed a week, the second will be twice as valuable, so plan at least one run per cycle.

Provisioner Stoutforge's price table

Buy the mount first — it is the most expensive, and the other rewards are easier to top up with the remaining medals.
