Which WoW Classic versions have the Dreadsteed quest

Version	Dreadsteed quest on 30 October 2026
Classic Era	Live with the original material counts.
Hardcore realms	Live with the original counts. Anniversary Hardcore realms stayed on Classic when the other Anniversary realms moved to TBC.
Season of Discovery	The realms are still online, and level 60 Warlocks take the same chain.
TBC Anniversary	Live with fewer materials since the pre-patch of 13 January 2026.

The steps match on every version. TBC Anniversary asks for fewer materials.

4 quests in the middle of the chain ask for trade goods: Bell of Dethmoora, Wheel of the Black March, Doomsday Candle and Arcanite. Gorzeeki Wildeyes in Burning Steppes takes all of them.

Material	Classic Era and Hardcore	TBC
Elixir of Shadow Power	10	2
Dark Iron Ore	25	25
Large Brilliant Shard	6	6
Black Dragonscale	35	3
Arcanite Bar	3	1

Where each material comes from

• Elixir of Shadow Power is an Alchemy elixir made with Ghost Mushroom.
• Dark Iron Ore is mined from Dark Iron Deposits in Blackrock Depths and Molten Core.
• Large Brilliant Shard comes from disenchanting high level rare items.
• Black Dragonscale is skinned from black dragons of level 50 and up.
• Arcanite Bar is an Alchemy transmute of 1 Thorium Bar and 1 Arcane Crystal.

Gold for the vendor items

Gorzeeki Wildeyes sells every item below except the Stardust. Ur'dan sells the Stardust inside Shadow Hold.

Item	Price	What it does
Shadowy Potion	Under 10g	Makes the demons of Jaedenar friendly for 20 minutes.
Xorothian Stardust	150g	Turned in for the Xorothian Stardust quest.
J'eevee's Jar	150g	Starts the ritual in Dire Maul West.
Xorothian Glyphs	50g	Summons the Xorothian Dreadsteed.
Black Lodestone	50g	Restarts a failing power node of the ritual. Each use costs 1 Soul Shard.

The Jar, the Glyphs and the Lodestone are reusable. A Warlock who already owns them can run your ritual, and that saves you 250g. They bind on pickup, so that Warlock comes along to Dire Maul.

The chain has 12 quests. Mor'zul Bloodbringer and Gorzeeki Wildeyes stand together in Burning Steppes and hand out most of them.

1. Mor'zul Bloodbringer. At level 60, take the quest from the Demon Trainer in your capital. Travel to Mor'zul Bloodbringer in Burning Steppes.
2. Rage of Blood. Collect 30 Raging Beast's Blood from the owlbeasts of Winterspring. Bring it to Mor'zul.
3. Wildeyes. Talk to Gorzeeki Wildeyes next to Mor'zul.
4. Lord Banehollow. Buy a Shadowy Potion from Gorzeeki. Drink it before you enter Shadow Hold in Jaedenar, Felwood. Lord Banehollow waits deep inside.
5. Ulathek the Traitor. Kill Ulathek inside Shadow Hold. Bring The Traitor's Heart to Lord Banehollow.
6. Xorothian Stardust. Buy the Stardust from Ur'dan in Shadow Hold for 150g. Bring it to Gorzeeki in Burning Steppes.
7. Bell of Dethmoora. Hand Gorzeeki the Elixirs of Shadow Power.
8. Wheel of the Black March. Hand over the Dark Iron Ore and the Large Brilliant Shards.
9. Doomsday Candle. Hand over the Black Dragonscales.
10. Arcanite. After the Bell, the Wheel and the Candle, Gorzeeki asks for the Arcanite Bars.
11. Imp Delivery. Take the Imp in a Jar into Scholomance. Release it in the alchemy lab, where J'eevee makes a parchment. Bring the parchment to Gorzeeki.
12. Dreadsteed of Xoroth. Mor'zul gives the last quest. Buy J'eevee's Jar, the Xorothian Glyphs and the Black Lodestone from Gorzeeki. Then go to Dire Maul West.

Winterspring and Felwood both sit in the north of Kalimdor. Do steps 2 and 4 to 6 in 1 trip. The material quests and Imp Delivery can run at the same time.

The last quest is a summoning ritual, and it takes a group. Every Warlock in the group who holds the quest can finish it in the same run.

1. Open the prison. Enter Dire Maul West with the Crescent Key or a Rogue. Destroy the 5 crystals that shield Immol'thar. Then kill Immol'thar.
2. Release J'eevee. Use J'eevee's Jar in the center of the Pedestal of Immol'thar. J'eevee sets out the Bell, the Wheel and the Candle around the circle.
3. Hold the circle. Waves of Xorothian Imps and elite Dread Guards attack the group. Keep the Bell, the Wheel and the Candle burning. The Black Lodestone restarts a failing power node for 1 Soul Shard.
4. Summon the Dreadsteed. When the waves stop, use the Xorothian Glyphs. The Xorothian Dreadsteed appears in the circle.
5. Kill both demons. At about half health, Lord Hel'nurath joins the fight. Kill the Dreadsteed and Lord Hel'nurath.
6. Bind the spirit. Talk to the Dreadsteed Spirit. The quest completes and teaches Summon Dreadsteed.

Stock Soul Shards before you start. Each Lodestone use takes 1.

Reward	What you get
Summon Dreadsteed	A 100% speed mount that you cast like a spell.
Journeyman riding	Learned together with the mount, so you skip the riding trainer.

Summon Felsteed is the smaller version. It is a 60% speed mount from a short Warlock quest at level 40.

Paladins are the only other class with an epic mount quest.

Anniversary realms moved to The Burning Crusade with the pre-patch on 13 January 2026. The Dreadsteed chain stayed in the game.

• The chain asks for 2 Elixirs of Shadow Power, 3 Black Dragonscales and 1 Arcanite Bar.
• The Dark Iron Ore, the Large Brilliant Shards and every vendor price stay the same.
• Blood elf Warlocks start at the Demon Trainer in Silvermoon City.
• The last quest still teaches Journeyman riding with the mount.

Anniversary Hardcore realms did not move to TBC. They keep the Classic counts.

For the order of every expansion, see our WoW expansions guide.
