Blue Hawkstrider
Find a character at the top of the page to see whether your account has this mount, and where that character stands on what it asks for.
Look it up on WowheadHow to get it
Sold by Winaestra for 1 gold. Since Midnight she stands in the Royal Exchange of Silvermoon City and sells the classic hawkstriders there. A blood elf buys it outright; any other Horde race has to be Exalted with Silvermoon City first.
Time there about 1 min a visit
Before you go
- Exalted with Silvermoon City, unless the buyer is a blood elf: the Silvermoon City Tabard worn in dungeons turns their reputation into Silvermoon City's; quests in the old Eversong Woods and Ghostlands and the Argent Tournament also count · about 3.5 h
- 1 gold
In all: about 3.5 h of play, 1 gold, starting from nothing.
Getting there
/way Silvermoon City 67.2 66 - Take the portal from Orgrimmar to Silvermoon*
- Fly the rest of the way
/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
Horde characters only (the item's tooltip lists the Horde races). The journal and the item's tooltip still name only the old place, Eversong Woods (Burning Crusade).
Wowhead's sold-by list for this item (as read in 2026) has two Winaestras: the Midnight one in Silvermoon City (creature 254366, titled Stable Master, 1 gold), which is the place given here, and the old Hawkstrider Breeder at Thuron's Livery east of the old city's gate (creature 16264, Eversong Woods of the Burning Crusade, wiki: 61.0, 54.6), listed there at 90 silver, presumably a price seen with a reputation discount. Wowhead's tooltip puts the new one at 67.2, 66.0; the wiki has her in the Royal Exchange.
The old Eversong Woods is reached through Zidormi at the Thalassian Pass (wiki: 53.8, 8.8 in the Eastern Plaguelands), who offers to show Eversong Woods and the Ghostlands as they were in the Burning Crusade.
The reputation rule is the wiki's (her page: blood elves by default, anyone else at Exalted, with what the old Winaestra says when she turns a buyer away). Nothing read says whether the Midnight vendor asks the same, Wowhead's sold-by list carries no standing for her, and it was not confirmed in the game; the notes for the Red and Black Hawkstriders, from the same vendor, came to the same result. The reputation time is zero on a blood elf and on a character that is already Exalted.
No guide is linked, as for those two: the guides found for the sister mounts still describe the old place.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
