Drake mounts

Drake mounts are epic flying mounts available to players in a few different ways. Both Alliance and Horde can acquire these mounts. With the release of the Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Warlords of Draenor expansion, players are now able to earn a bonus drake as a reward for the achievement Awake the Drakes. This involves gathering several of the drakes from this list.

Drakes as loot[]

The majority of drake mounts are available as loot items from various dungeons and raids.

Culling of Stratholme[]

The Bronze Drake is a 100% drop from Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Factiongfx/faction_tip_link.json' not found. Infinite Corruptor in the Culling of Stratholme on heroic mode. But it only drops if you defeat the Corruptor within the 25 minute time limit. The timer begins as soon as you talk to Arthas, just inside the gates of Stratholme.

Obsidian Sanctum[]

The Black Drake drops from Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Factiongfx/faction_tip_link.json' not found. Sartharion in the 10-man version of the Obsidian Sanctum and the Twilight Drake in the 25-man version. These drakes will only drop if all three of Sartharion's Twilight Drake lieutenants are still alive when you engage him.

The Eye of Eternity[]

The Azure Drake can be found inside Alexstrasza's Gift after defeating Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Factiongfx/faction_tip_link.json' not found. Malygos inside The Eye of Eternity in the 10-man or 25-man versions. There is no difference in drop rate between 10 and 25-man versions of the instance. The Blue Drake also has a chance to drop in the 10-man version of this raid.

The Oculus[]

The Blue Drake can also be found inside the [Cache of the Ley-Guardian] after defeating Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Factiongfx/faction_tip_link.json' not found. Ley-Guardian Eregos inside The Oculus. It was previously dropped in the 10-man version of The Eye of Eternity but was moved to The Oculus in 3.3.2. to encourage players to complete the instance instead of abandoning it.

Note: The Cache will only drop if the instance was randomly selected using the Dungeon Finder, and the Drake only has about a 5% drop rate. If a Drake mount drops it will not be rolled for.
