Trained Riverwallow
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
Build a Stables in the garrison, lasso a Young Riverwallow in Talador for the quest Requisition a Riverbeast, then do 9 daily Riverbeast Training quests, each a kill made from the back of the riverbeast-in-training; the last, Riverbeast Training: The Garn, rewards the mount. The quests come from Fanny Firebeard (Alliance) or Sage Paluna (Horde) at the Stables.
Time there about 10 min a visit
Before you go
- Garrison founded, raised to tier 2, Stables built on a large plot (150 gold and 150 Garrison Resources, 1-hour build timer) · about 2.5 h
- Requisition a Riverbeast: use the lasso on a Young Riverwallow in the water by Duskfall Island, near the Terokkar Refuge flight point in Talador, and keep up with it until it is tamed · about 0.5 h
- 9 daily Riverbeast Training quests after the capture: Gezz'ran in Talador, Bulbapore in the Spires of Arak, then seven targets in Nagrand ending with the garn Maimclaw · about 1.5 h over 10 days
In all: about 4.5 h of play, spread over 10 days, 150 gold, starting from nothing.
Getting there
/way Shadowmoon Valley 29.6 16 - Take the portal from Wizard's Sanctum to Ashran*
- Fly the rest of the way
/way Frostfire Ridge 48.7 64.9 - Take the portal from Pathfinder's Den to Ashran*
- 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
About 10 minutes a day for 10 days: the capture on the first day, then one training quest a day (the wiki has the quest giver say the animal 'will be ready for training tomorrow').
The Stables are shared with the other five trained mounts and the two achievement mounts, so the chains can run side by side. The mount stays if the Stables are later replaced (Wowhead's guide). The guide (updated 2018) advises a water-walking elixir or the Shadow Lily's Glowstep buff for the capture, since the young riverwallows run through water.
Targets and spots from the guide:
- Gezz'ran: 31.6, 54.6 in Talador
- Bulbapore: 66.6, 75.6 in Spires of Arak
- Gorian Beast-Lasher: 79.2, 71.6 in Nagrand
- Darkwing Roc: 68.6, 20.6 in Nagrand
- Moth of Wrath: 43.0, 69.1 in Nagrand
- Thundercall: 90.6, 23.6 in Nagrand
- Ironbore: 53.2, 77.6 in Nagrand
- Karak the Great Hunter: 69, 34.3 in Nagrand
- Maimclaw: 63, 80 in Nagrand
The order of the Nagrand quests was not established.
The places given above are the garrisons' own spots on the zone map, as for this guide's other garrison mounts, not the Stables' plot, which the player chooses. The guide gives the level 1 cost only as '150 and 150'; it is read here as gold and Garrison Resources.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
