Summary
For a limited time,World of Warcraftplayers can purchase the Illidari Doomhawk, which was previously available as a drop from a boss that appeared during the game’s Anniversary event. But,World of Warcraftplayers who want to get their hands on this elusive flying mount will have to earn a significant amount of a specific currency in order to obtain it.
Every November,World of Warcraftcelebrates the anniversary of its 2004 launch with a special festival in-game, hosted at the Caverns of Time in the desert region called Tanaris. With the 2023 celebrationheraldingWorld of Warcraft’s 19th anniversary, players can take down bosses including the quartet called the Dragons of Nightmare, the blue dragon Azuregos, and the tyrannical Doom Lord Kazzak in their old haunts sprawled throughout Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. In addition to those encounters, the Doomwalker will appear at the entrance of the Caverns of Time to give players a fight untilWoW’s Anniversary event ends on Thursday, December 7.
While taking down the Doomwalker was previously the only way to obtain the Illidari Doomhawk, that is no longer the case. Despite the fact that the Illidari Doomhawk was neverthe rarest drop in the history ofWorld of Warcraft, its drop rate changed over the years in response to player feedback. But, thanks to a hotfix that was released in November 2023, the Illidari Doomhawk was made available for purchase from a troll NPC named Historian Ma’di. The NPC is located within the Caverns of Time, not far from where players are able to accept quests to kill Azuregos and other bosses fromWoW’s past. But, for 5,000 Timewarped Badges, Historian Ma’di will sell players the Illidari Doomhawk.
These badges are obtained by completing Anniversary quests, as well as Timewalking dungeons and raids whenever they are available. However, mount collectors that have continued to take down the Doomwalker will not leave empty-handed, as the draconic Azure Worldchiller mount is now a guaranteed drop in place of the Illidari Doomhawk. Though there are other dragonhawks obtainable inWorld of Warcraft, it remains to be seen if the Illidari Doomhawk will benefit fromDynamic Flying in a futureWorld of Warcraftupdate.
Between the Illidari Doomhawk anda major reputation bufffor a chance at more rewards, the end of November is a busy time inWorld of Warcraft. Only time will tell how many players will claim the Illidari Doomhawk for themselves.
