Notes and sources
Requires Exalted with The Ascended: Wowhead's item page shows it, and the wiki and both guides agree; the journal leaves the reputation out. Not a covenant mount: the wiki's page for the faction files it as neutral, Wowhead's guide calls it 'a Neutral faction', and nothing ties the purchase to the Kyrian. The Ascended has been a Warband reputation since patch 11.1.5 (wiki, page edited 2026), so reputation earned on several characters adds up.
The price actually paid was not seen in the game: 24,000 rests on one 2020 comment and on Wowhead's figure for the Oribos vendor; the wiki's 28,500 would be a 5% discount and has no explanation.
The sources disagree on whether Bastion's story gives reputation: Wowhead's guide says the zone campaign gives none and only the side quests do; wow.gg says the campaign 'grants reputation automatically' and that a character is Honored after it. The 42,000 given above counts from Neutral either way.
Callings are handed out by the character's own covenant and point at a different zone each day, so the 1,500 comes only on the days Bastion is drawn. A 2025 Wowhead comment (on the 100 Exalted Reputations page) notes that the two Oribos weeklies can be done on several characters for the same faction. World quest bonus weeks add 50% and the Darkmoon Faire buffs 10% (both guides). Past Exalted every 10,000 reputation gives Ascended Supplies (Wowhead's guide).
Place: Wowhead's tooltip for Nikos has 52.2, 47.0 in Bastion, its guide and wow.gg 52.2, 47.1; the wiki names Hero's Rest and gives no coordinates. Mikaros in Oribos is Wowhead's (guide and sold-by list, NPC 176064); he was not looked up further.
The item binds when picked up and teaches a flying mount (2020 Wowhead comments). Added in patch 9.0.2.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
