Dawnforge Ram
Find a character at the top of the page to see whether your account has this mount, and where that character stands on what it asks for.
Look it up on WowheadHow to get it
The dwarf paladin's own mount (the ordinary dwarf, not the Dark Iron dwarf, who has the Darkforge Ram). A dwarf paladin gets it without a quest, trainer or vendor: it appears in the journal when the character reaches level 10, and a Class Trial dwarf paladin has it on first login. So making a dwarf paladin is all it takes.
Before you go
- A dwarf paladin of level 10 or more: a Class Trial dwarf paladin has the mount in the journal on its first login; one made the ordinary way gets it on reaching level 10, an hour to an hour and a half of levelling · about 0.1 h
In all: about 0.1 h of play, starting from nothing.
Getting there
There is nowhere to travel for this one.
Notes and sources
The journal files it under quests and says only 'Paladin'; there is no quest and no item. No place is given because there is nowhere to travel for the mount, and no guide is linked: there are no steps beyond making the character.
Wowhead's tooltip for the spell (270564, Summon Dawnforge Ram) says Requires Paladin, Faction: Alliance, and its spell page lists the race as Dwarf beside two internal entries (race ids 75 and 76). The mount came with patch 8.0.1; before that, dwarf paladins used the human paladin's horse (2018 comment).
Which dwarf: a 2025 reply warns against making a Dark Iron dwarf, whose own ram is the Darkforge Ram (spell 270562). Comments of 2020 say a Dark Iron dwarf paladin could ride both; that does not make the Dark Iron dwarf a way to earn this one. A 2019 comment says a paladin of another race cannot ride it even when a dwarf on the account has unlocked it, so on a collector's account it counts in the journal but is ridden only by dwarf paladins.
The level is the one thing the sources disagree on:
- the wiki's page for the spell: 'learned automatically at level 20'
- the wiki's page on paladin mounts: paladins 'automatically learn a race-specific mount ... at level 10'
- the players' reports of 2025 and 2026 agree with level 10
Earlier accounts had the Class Trial character do a few opening quests (2020: 'after a few quests', 5-10 minutes) or hearth out of the starting area (2020, +53); by 2025 'You start in stormwind and already have the mount when you log in'.
Not established: whether the mount stays in the collection if the Class Trial character is deleted or its trial runs out (the Darkforge Ram's notes have a 2024 report that the Dark Iron ram does stay), and whether a dwarf paladin made by race change or level boost gets it the same way, though nothing suggests otherwise. Wowhead says 8% of profiles have the mount.
Confidence in this entry: high. Looked up in 2026.
