Look it up on WowheadHow to get it
Sold by Milli Featherwhistle, the mechanostrider merchant at Steelgrill's Depot outside Kharanos in Dun Morogh, for 1 gold. A gnome buys it outright; any other Alliance race has to be Exalted with Gnomeregan first.
Time there about 1 min a visit
Before you go
- Exalted with Gnomeregan, unless the buyer is a gnome: the Gnomeregan Tabard from Master Tinker Trini at the Great Forge in Ironforge, worn in dungeons, turns their reputation into Gnomeregan's; quests in Dun Morogh and the other gnome and dwarf zones and the Argent Tournament count too · about 3.5 h
- 1 gold
In all: about 3.5 h of play, 1 gold, starting from nothing.
Getting there
/way Dun Morogh 56.2 46.2 - Fly there
/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.
Notes and sources
Milli Featherwhistle (npc 7955) is the only seller in Wowhead's sold-by list (as read in 2026), at 1 gold. She sells the Blue, Green and Red Mechanostriders at the same price and three swift ones at 10 gold. Coordinates are the wiki's for her; this guide's other mechanostriders have the same from Wowhead's tooltip for her. The item binds when picked up and asks for level 10 (wiki, since patch 9.0.1).
The journal leaves out the reputation. The wiki's page for the vendor (edited 2025) says only gnomes can buy from Milli by default and other characters must be exalted with Gnomeregan, and her gossip to anyone else is that she can only sell to those exalted with the gnomes. Wowhead's guide gives the same rule for every racial mount ('by being Exalted with their respective faction, or by being the race it's part of'). That was not confirmed in the game, and whether a mechagnome counts as a gnome here was not established.
The mount is account-wide once learned, so any gnome on the account can buy it for 1 gold and skip the reputation. Where a non-gnome starts with Gnomeregan was not found, so the hours may overstate it.
The comments on Wowhead's page are old. The one that bears on the rule is of 2008, when the race restriction was lifted for other Alliance races 'assuming they are exalted' with the gnomes. Two commenters (2021, 2022) found the mount in their collection without remembering having bought it; that is not explained.
Guide: Wowhead's is a user-submitted list (updated 2024) of every racial mount with its vendor; it names this mount under the gnomes' and this vendor but does not say how the reputation is earned. It also says the Alliance racial mounts 'are shared with their Horde counterparts, so you do not need to get both'; what that means for this mount was not looked into.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
