WoW's Riding Turtle Mount: Limited-Time Opportunity

Become a WoW Legend: Unlock the Riding Turtle Mount!

The World of Warcraft is a competitive landscape, but securing rare mounts like the Riding Turtle elevates your status. This guide details how to obtain this coveted, albeit impractical, mount.

What's the Riding Turtle?

Recent WoW updates have opened opportunities to acquire exotic mounts, including the Riding Turtle and Sea Turtle. These are obtained through a unique fishing method. However, these methods may be adjusted by Blizzard in future updates, so act quickly!

The Angler's Approach

The key lies within your garrison's waters. Alliance players target Lunarfall Carp, while Horde players seek Frostdeep Minnows. These are caught at your fishing shack (requiring the Draenor Angler achievement for a level 3 shack). Returning these fish to the lake summons the Lunarfall/Frostdeep Cavedweller, which can drop the desired mounts.

The Draenor Angler achievement (100 of each Enormous Fish species) is crucial for accessing the higher-tier fishing shack needed for this process. The fish drop rate is a mere 3%, though optimal gear and buffs can potentially improve your chances.

Why Now? The Power of the Group

Previously, only the player who tagged the Cavedweller received rewards. Now, groups of up to 40 players can share the loot, dramatically increasing your odds. The combined drop rate is significantly higher than the previous individual 3% (fish) and 0.5% (mount) chances.

While you don't need the Draenor Angler achievement to join a raid, demonstrating your ability to contribute (catching your own fish) will improve your chances of being accepted into a group. Consider forming your own group to maximize your potential.
