Look it up on WowheadHow to get it
Sold by Deathguard Netharian in Orgrimmar's Valley of Strength for 1 Vicious Saddle. A saddle is earned in rated PvP: wins at 1,000 rating or more fill the Season Rewards bar; the first full bar of a season gives that season's own vicious mount, and every further full bar in the same season gives a Vicious Saddle.

- This season's vicious mount first: reach 1,000 rating in a rated bracket and fill the Season Rewards bar once (about 40 rated battleground wins, about 80 wins in 3v3 or about 240 in 2v2) · about 20 h
- 1 Vicious Saddle: fill the Season Rewards bar a second time in the same season · about 20 h
In all: about 40 h of play, starting from nothing.
Getting there

line and 30 seconds for a portal.
Notes and sources
Horde only: the Alliance vendor, Necrolord Sipe in Stormwind, sells the Vicious War Ram in its place. The journal's "Cost: 1" is one Vicious Saddle (Wowhead's tooltip shows the saddle icon).
Saddles can only be earned while a rated PvP season is running: Midnight Season 2 began on 18 August 2026 and the wiki lists it as ongoing. The guide gives no win counts for Solo Shuffle or Blitz; the bar's tooltip in the Rated tab shows the progress per win.
The saddle binds to the character that fills the bar, and the mount item is for Horde races only, so that has to be a Horde character; once learned the mount is account-wide.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
