How to get it

Craft it at the mount Synthesis Forge in Zereth Mortis from Schematic: Raptora Swooper, 450 Genesis Motes, a Raptora Lattice and an Eternal Ragepearl. The schematic lies on a bench-like structure behind the Dominated Architect inside the Chamber of Shaping in the Arrangement Index; picking it up starts a quest that is handed in at the forge.

Before you go

  • Cypher research timers: Aealic 18 h, Dealic 3 d 18 h, Sopranian 5 d 18 h, one after another · 10.25 days
  • Zereth Mortis campaign to chapter 3, which opens the Cypher Console, and 470 Cyphers of the First Ones · about 5 h
  • The 'Finding Tahli' quest chain through 'A New Architect' (11 quests), which opens the mount forge · about 1.5 h
  • The schematic: enter the Chamber of Shaping at 65.7, 35.9 and take it from the bench behind the Dominated Architect at 67.4, 40.1; it starts 'Schematic Reassimilation: Raptora Swooper', handed in at the forge · about 0.25 h
  • 450 Genesis Motes (most creatures in Zereth Mortis), a Raptora Lattice (raptora creatures such as Grasslands Raptora, more often from the rares Garudeon and Tahkwitz) and an Eternal Ragepearl (Dominated Runeshapers on Antecedent Isle) · about 3 h

In all: about 9.8 h of play, spread over 10.25 days, starting from nothing.

/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 says only 'Protoform Synthesis'. The mount shares its 10-day research gate and the forge unlock with the other Protoform Synthesis mounts, and the Eternal Ragepearl with the Forged Spiteflyer.

Wowhead's guide (updated 2025) names the Dominated Runeshaper as the pearl's source; the wiki says it drops from elite automa in Zereth Mortis and in the Sepulcher of the First Ones, and very rarely from an Olea Cache. No drop chance for the lattice or the pearl was found beyond the guide's 'around 10%'.

The guide says the mounts' rare reagents only start dropping once the Sopranian research and the forge quest line are done, so the materials cannot be gathered ahead. Whether the schematic can be picked up before the mount forge is open was not established.

The guide puts the forge's cave at 68.5, 30.1; the place given above is the spot used for this guide's other forge mounts.

Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
