Notes and sources
Alliance characters only: the wiki has it as Alliance only and Wowhead's page lists the Alliance races. Wowhead's racial mount guide (updated 2024) says the gryphons Tannec Stonebeak sells 'require no reputation' and that standing with Stormwind gives a discount.
The price is the one point where sources differ:
- the journal gives 'Cost: 50 gold', and so does the source line of Wowhead's tooltip, which repeats the journal
- Wowhead's sold-by list (2026) has all six sellers at 1,000,000 copper, 100 gold
- the wiki's page for Tannec Stonebeak (edited 2025) prices the three ordinary gryphons (Ebon, Golden, Snowy) at 50 gold and the four swift ones (Blue, Green, Purple, Red) at 100
- a 2020 Wowhead comment names the prices seen at Tannec Stonebeak himself: 47 gold 50 silver for the ordinary gryphons and 95 gold for the swift ones, which are 50 and 100 with the same 5% reputation discount
The price given here is 100, as for the Swift Green Gryphon. This guide's entry for the Swift Red Gryphon took the journal's 50, and the two should be brought into line.
The other sellers, at the same price (Wowhead and the wiki):
- Grunda Bronzewing, gryphon keeper in Hellfire Peninsula
- Brunn Flamebeard, gryphon keeper in Shadowmoon Valley
- Durgan Thunderbeak, gryphon keeper in Borean Tundra
- Mei Francis in Dalaran (both the Northrend city and the Broken Isles one on Wowhead's list)
Coordinates are the wiki's for Tannec Stonebeak, who stands near the flight master Dungar Longdrink. This guide's other gryphons have Wowhead's tooltip for him (NPC 43768) at 71.2-71.6, 72.2-72.6, not read again here.
The wiki's infobox has the item at level 10 while its patch 9.0.1 note says level 27, and it asks for Apprentice Riding since that patch. The item binds when picked up. No guide is linked: it is a plain purchase.
Confidence in this entry: high. Looked up in 2026.
