Twilight Avenger

Twilight Avenger is an epic ground and flying mount added in patch 8.0.1 of the Battle for Azeroth expansion. It is an unarmored twilight flight dragon that visually resembles the Twilight Drake model, but with a unique dark-maroon coloration. The mount drops as a rare reward from Island Expeditions or from salvage crates purchased with Seafarer's Dubloons.

According to the item description: "Little is known about the fate of the twilight dragonflight, though they can still be found in considerable numbers in Grim Batol." The mount has item ID 163584 and spell ID 279466. According to Wowhead, it is owned by roughly 4% of players, making it one of the rarest Island Expedition mounts.

• Rarity — the Twilight Avenger is owned by fewer than 4% of players. It is one of the rarest mounts available to farm in Island Expeditions, making it a genuine collector's trophy.
• Unique model — an unarmored variant of the twilight drake. Unlike the Cataclysmic Gladiator's Twilight Drake (no longer obtainable), the Twilight Avenger has no armor plating, giving it an elegant and predatory appearance.
• Ground and flying — the mount works both on the ground and in the air, providing up to +310% speed in flight at maximum riding skill.
• Available for solo farming — since patch 9.1.5, Island Expeditions can be done solo. At level 80 in TWW, expeditions are cleared in just a few minutes.
• Account-wide — once learned, the mount becomes available on all characters on your account.

To farm the Twilight Avenger, you need the following:

• A character at level 10 or higher (to access Island Expeditions)
• Riding skill: Apprentice Riding (ground travel), Expert Riding (flight)
• Access to Boralus (Alliance) or Dazar'alor (Horde) — the Battle for Azeroth capitals
• The completed BfA introductory quest chain that unlocks Island Expeditions

Alliance

1. Travel to Boralus Harbor in Tiragarde Sound. Use the portal from Stormwind or your hearthstone
2. Find Flynn Fairwind at the expedition map table in Boralus Harbor
3. Speak with Flynn and choose "Private Tour," "Private Tour (Heroic)," or "Private Tour (Mythic)" for the solo queue

Horde

1. Travel to Dazar'alor in Zuldazar. Use the portal from Orgrimmar or your hearthstone
2. Find Captain Rez'okun at the expedition map table in the Port of Zandalar
3. Speak with the captain and choose the desired mode for the solo queue

There are two main ways to obtain the Twilight Avenger. Combining both is recommended for maximum efficiency.

Method 1: Direct Drop from Expeditions

1. Head to the Island Expeditions table in Boralus or Dazar'alor
2. Speak with the NPC (Flynn Fairwind / Captain Rez'okun) and choose the solo "Private Tour" mode
3. Complete the expedition — at level 80, mobs die instantly and a run takes 3–5 minutes
4. After completing the expedition, check the rewards. The mount can drop if twilight dragons were present on the island
5. Repeat. The mount can drop on any difficulty, and a victory is not required

Method 2: Salvage Crates (Recommended)

1. Farm Island Expeditions to accumulate Seafarer's Dubloons. Each expedition yields 4–10 dubloons
2. Save up 175 dubloons to buy one crate
3. Find the salvage crate vendor:
   • Alliance: Captain Klarisa in Boralus Harbor
   • Horde: Captain Zen'taga in the Port of Zandalar
4. Buy Venture Co. 'Salvage'. This is the specific crate that contains the Twilight Avenger
5. Open the crate and check the contents. The chance to get the mount is around 5%

Important: the crate selection at the vendors rotates weekly. If the Crestfall crate is unavailable in the current week, save up dubloons and wait for the rotation.

Efficient Farming Strategy

At max level (80 in The War Within), expeditions are cleared in just a few minutes. The optimal approach:

1. Choose normal mode — at level 80, the difference in difficulty is negligible, and normal mode is the fastest to clear
2. Kill everything in sight — don't gather azerite deliberately; just destroy every mob in your path. This fills the progress bar faster
3. Watch for twilight dragons — if twilight dragons appear on the island, the chance of a direct mount drop increases. Be sure to kill them all
4. Save dubloons for crates — the main and most reliable acquisition method. A 5% chance from a crate is significantly higher than the under-1% chance from a direct drop

How Long It Will Take

• One expedition at level 80: 3–5 minutes
• Dubloons per expedition: 4–10 (6–7 on average)
• Expeditions per crate (175 dubloons): roughly 25–30
• Time per crate: about 2–2.5 hours of farming
• At a 5% chance per crate: 20 crates on average (40–50 hours of farming)

Actual timeframes vary. Some players get lucky with their first crates, while others spend hundreds of hours. Be prepared for a long farm.

Multi-Character Farming

Seafarer's Dubloons are bound to the character, not the account. However, once learned, the mount is available to all characters. Farm on the character that clears expeditions fastest — classes with high mobility and AoE damage are ideal: demon hunter, mage, monk.
