How to get it

Low-chance drop from any of the 12 rares on The Coiled Isle; each rare can be looted once a day per character.

Chance 1.1% once a day, so about 91 tries on average — Worked out, not read as such: Wowhead's item page records 33 mounts in 36,763 loots over 11 of the 12 rares of the Coiled to Strike achievement, 0.09% a kill (it lists no drop from the twelfth, Farthik the Plunderer); 1.1% is that figure for one daily circuit of all 12 (1 - 0.9991^12), 1.0% if Farthik does not drop it. Over all 14 creatures Wowhead lists it is 41 in 44,828, also 0.09%. Never published; guides guessed well below 1% per rare

/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 time on the spot is one circuit of all 12 rares. About 90 daily circuits are expected at 1.1% a circuit (some 1,100 kills); Wowhead comments report the mount after 132, 429, 843 and 1,230 kills.

Besides the achievement's rares, Wowhead lists three more creatures that drop it:

  • Vassti, the Exalted Broodmother
  • Looming Mutagenitor
  • Venom Lancer Ori'kassi

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