Trained Silverpelt
Overview

Trained Silverpelt is a ground mount added in the Warlords of Draenor expansion. It is obtained through a chain of daily quests in the Garrison Stables in Draenor. According to lore, the silverpelt talbuk is prized for its intelligence: the breed is trainable and capable of dealing defensive blows with its hooves and horns in combat.
In the current patch 11.1 (TWW S2, 2026) the mount remains fully obtainable — the Draenor garrison and its buildings are still there, so you can earn the talbuk at any time on a level 80 character (and technically even earlier — the quests are tuned for level 40).
Why you want this mount
- A stylish ground mount with a distinctive grayish coat and an elegant running animation.
- The quest line requires no raids, dungeons, or RNG — everything is done solo.
- It grants up to 1620 Garrison Resources along the way, which is handy for upgrading your garrison.
- It counts toward the Draenor Pet Brawler achievement and unlocks access to reward mounts such as the Armored Frostwolf.
Requirements
- A character level 40 and above (by 2026 most players are already level 80)
- A level 2 garrison — needed to buy the Stables blueprint
- A level 1 Stables in the garrison — sufficient for the entire chain
- Access to Draenor: Shadowmoon Valley and Nagrand are the zones where the key quests take place
- Around 12 in-game days of real time (the quests are daily; missing a single day is not critical)
Step 1 — Building the Stables
The Stables is a large garrison building, meaning it is built in a large plot (there are only two of them).
- Level your garrison up to level 2 — this requires completing the starting quest chain in Draenor and accumulating resources.
- Buy the Stables blueprint from the garrison architect.
- Place the Stables in a large plot and wait for construction to finish.
- Once built, a quest giver will appear in the building — Fanny Firebeard for the Alliance, Sage Paluna for the Horde.
Step 2 — Catching the silverpelt talbuk
The first talbuk quest is offered 1–2 days after the Stables are built (each of the six mounts has its own unlock sequence).
- Take the quest "Taming the Talbuk" from the quest giver.
- You will be given a
Talbuk Lasso. - Head to Shadowmoon Valley — young silverpelt talbuks graze on the flowering hills.
- Use the lasso on a young silverpelt.
- You will be flung onto the animal's back, and it will start to run off. Just hang on — after a while the talbuk will tire out.
- Turn in the quest at the Stables. From this point you will have a Talbuk Trainee, which you will ride for the next 10 days.
Step 3 — 10 days of training
Each day Fanny/Paluna will offer a new daily training quest. The idea is always the same: take a whistle, summon the Talbuk Trainee, and kill a certain number of mobs while mounted on it.
Key training rules:
- Always use the provided whistle to mount the Talbuk Trainee. No other mount will work for the quest.
- The mobs are of a specific type — usually in various Draenor zones (Frostfire Ridge, Gorgrond, Talador, Nagrand).
- It is recommended to take the quests for the other mounts in parallel — this saves you time.
- If you miss a day, no problem — progress is not reset, the finale just shifts back.
After 10 days of training your talbuk is ready for the final trial.
Step 4 — Final trial: Maw-claw
Quest: Talbuk Training: The Garn.
- Take the quest at the Stables.
- Head to Nagrand — the quest objective is to defeat a huge garn wolf named Maw-claw while mounted on the Talbuk Trainee.
- Summon the talbuk with the whistle and attack Maw-claw. At level 80 the fight is trivial, but do not dismount — otherwise the quest will not count.
- Turn in the quest to Fanny/Paluna.
- As a reward you receive the
Trained Silverpelt and 50 Garrison Resources.
The mount is added to your collection automatically when you use the item from your bags.
Optimizing the run
- Collect all 6 mounts in parallel. The Stables gradually unlock one talbuk/boar/elekk/riverbeast/wolf and a second mount per day. Take all available dailies at once — this way you get all six mounts in about 16 days, instead of 16×6.
- Use level 2 and 3 Stables for bonuses. Level 2 Stables grant immunity to stuns from mobs while mounted in Draenor, and level 3 gives +20% mount speed in the zone. This speeds up training.
- Do not sell the "Talbuk Whistle" item — it is only needed during the chain, but deleting it will break the quest.
- Even after demolishing the Stables, the mounts you have already earned stay in your collection forever. The building can be replaced after the chain is complete.
- Group up. Many of the target mobs are easier to kill in a pair, especially if you play a class without self-healing.
- Watch for the daily reset — new quests appear at 7:00 server time.
Tips
1
At level 80 all Draenor mobs deal laughable damage, so you can complete the chain on any class and specialization.
2
If you are returning to an old account, check — some of the quests may already be done. Look at the achievement log in your garrison.
3
The mount's model uses the shared talbuk skeleton but a unique "silver fur" texture — do not confuse it with the war talbuks of Nagrand from the Burning Crusade era.
4
This mount requires no riding license and is available to all races and classes able to use ground mounts.
5
If you are aiming for the Draenor Pet Brawler achievement, be sure to obtain all six Draenor mounts from the Stables — the silverpelt talbuk is one of the key items on the list.
