Sold by Master Clerk Salorn at the Star Lake Amphitheater in Ardenweald for 5,000 Reservoir Anima, once the account has the achievement Ardenweald's a Stage: take part in all seven plays the theater puts on. A play is a rare that the stage director Dapperdew summons for a Night Fae character who has sent the day's anima stream to Dreamsong Fenn; anyone present can join the fight and gets the credit. The theater gives one play a day, picked at random.

Guide Wowhead: Night Fae Covenant Anima Conductor Rewards, Enhancements, and Reputations
Before you go
- A Night Fae character to start the plays, one's own or somebody else's: it needs the first tier of the Anima Conductor in the Heart of the Forest (Flowing Tendrils: 1,000 Reservoir Anima, 1 Redeemed Soul and an hour of research, after the covenant's opening chapter) · about 1.5 h
- Ardenweald's a Stage: all seven plays seen through (Astra as Azshara, Dreamweaver as N'Zoth, Glimmerdust as Jaina, Glimmerdust as Kil'jaeden, Mi'kai as Argus, Niya as Xavius, Senthii as Gul'dan). Each day: open the stream to Dreamsong Fenn at the Anima Conductor (25 Reservoir Anima), then ask Dapperdew on the stage to begin. The same play can be called again all day, a different one only after the daily reset · about 3 h over 3 weeks
- 5,000 Reservoir Anima (Shadowlands world quests, raids, world bosses, rares of Zereth Mortis) · about 1.7 h
In all: about 6.2 h of play, spread over 3 weeks, starting from nothing.
Getting there
/way Ardenweald 43.1 47.1 - Take the portal from Wizard's Sanctum to Oribos*
- Take the flight master to Ardenweald
- Take the portal from Pathfinder's Den to Oribos*
- Take the flight master to Ardenweald
/way is for the TomTom addon. Travel times are estimates: flying at 55 yards a second in a straight
line and 30 seconds for a portal. A star marks a portal that needs a quest or other unlock done first.
Notes and sources
The journal names only the vendor and the price; the achievement is what unlocks the sale (wiki; Wowhead's guide). Coordinates: the wiki has Salorn at 43.1, 47.1, Wowhead's tooltip at 43, 47 and a comment at 42.75, 46.03. The time on the spot is one play; the purchase itself is a minute.
Progress on the achievement counts for the whole account (Wowhead: account-wide progress; wiki: account-wide since patch 11.0), and already in 2020 a commenter earned it on one character and bought the mount on another.
The buyer does not have to be Night Fae (wiki), but only a Night Fae with the stream to Dreamsong Fenn open gets the option from Dapperdew: commenters of 2023 who found him offering nothing were told in 2024 that this was the reason. So without a Night Fae character of one's own, each play waits on finding one already started. Tier 1 of the conductor offers two streams, and Wowhead's guide says every possible stream can be opened each day at 25 anima apiece.
The plays come at random, not in a fixed order: that is the experience of 2020 comments (the same play three days running; six of seven in six days and then a wait) and of Wowhead's guide ('totally random'). The 18 days are therefore an average, not a promise. Reputation and loot from a play come once a day (the guide).
The guide (updated 2021) calls the reward 'defeating 5 different enemies' in one line and 'all eight plays' in another; the achievement lists seven. The item binds when picked up and asks for level 45 (wiki). The Duskflutter Ardenmoth, a look-alike, is sold for gold at Exalted with The Wild Hunt and is a separate mount.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
