• 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 (40 quests) and 470 Cyphers · about 5 h
• The 'Finding Tahli' quest chain (11 quests) that opens the mount forge · about 1.5 h
• Schematic from Accelerated Bufonids (drop chance not published), 400 Genesis Motes, lattice, bauble · about 2.6 h

In all: about 9.1 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.

The mount shares its 10-day research gate with the Deathrunner. Wowhead's Protoform Synthesis guide (updated 2025) covers the unlock, both forges and every schematic, and agrees with what is given here. It puts the mount forge's cave at 68.5, 30.1 and the Accelerated Bufonids on the Sepulcher of the First Ones island; a 2022 comment under it had the schematic from one at Hirukon's pool, so any Accelerated Bufonid will do.

The Bufonid Lattice comes from frog creatures (Gorkek, Accelerated Bufonids), rares more often.

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