WoW Introduces Recolored Rare Mounts

Two exclusive WoW mounts, the Blazing Royal Fire Hawk and the Golden Ashes of Al'ar, are making their debut in WoW China, starting January 15th. These mounts are reimagined versions of the incredibly rare Pureblood Fire Hawk and Ashes of Al'ar, respectively.

These new mounts are rewards for specific promotions within WoW China. The Blazing Royal Fire Hawk, reminiscent of the Pureblood Fire Hawk, boasts auspicious clouds within its wings while in flight, a nod to Chinese culture and symbolism. The Golden Ashes of Al'ar, a gilded variation of the original, features a stylish black saddle and evocative flavor text referencing Kael'thas Sunstrider's iconic line: "The golden Al'ar, beloved pet of Kael'thas Sunstrider, proves that death is merely a setback."

The Blazing Royal Fire Hawk is obtainable through a "Treasure Workshop" event, details of which are yet to be fully revealed. The Golden Ashes of Al'ar is a reward from Landro's Loot Box, priced at ¥200 (approximately $27). This loot box offers a chance at several prizes, including other rare mounts like the X-51 Nether Rocket X-TREME and the Swift Spectral Tiger. Group purchasing incentives offer additional loot boxes based on spending milestones.

Currently, there's no indication these mounts will be released internationally. For now, players outside of China can only appreciate these visually stunning additions to the World of Warcraft collection.
