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 obtainable through special 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 sleek black saddle and a flavor text referencing Kael'thas Sunstrider's iconic quote: "The golden Al'ar, beloved pet of Kael'thas Sunstrider, proves that death is merely a setback."
The Blazing Royal Fire Hawk is acquired through a "Treasure Workshop" event, the specifics of which remain undisclosed. The Golden Ashes of Al'ar is available from Landro’s Loot Box, priced at ¥200 (approximately $27 USD). This loot box offers a chance at various rewards, including other coveted items like the X-51 Nether Rocket X-TREME and the rare Swift Spectral Tiger. Group purchases offer bonus crates based on spending thresholds.
While currently exclusive to China, the possibility of an international release remains open. For now, players outside of China can only appreciate these visually striking mounts from afar.
