Before you go

Loremaster of Draenor: the story achievements of five zones, Shadowmoon Valley (Alliance) or Frostfire Ridge (Horde), then Gorgrond, Talador, Spires of Arak and Nagrand. All chapters of a zone have to be done by the same character · about 15 h
Draenor Explorer: every area of Frostfire Ridge, Gorgrond, Talador, Spires of Arak, Shadowmoon Valley and Nagrand uncovered · about 2 h
Master Treasure Hunter: 100 of Draenor's one-time treasures, Tanaan Jungle's not counted. A zone's treasure map, sold by Grakis in Stormshield or Srikka in Warspear once that zone's story is done, shows the ones still unlooted · about 4 h
Securing Draenor: twelve assault objectives (Everbloom Wilds and the Pit in Gorgrond; Iron Siegeworks, Magnarok and Stonefury Cliffs in Frostfire Ridge; Broken Precipice and Mok'gol Watchpost in Nagrand; Darktide Roost, Pillars of Fate and Socrethar's Rise in Shadowmoon Valley; Skettis in Spires of Arak; Shattrath Harbor in Talador). The garrison's command table offers two of the daily quests a day; a Scouting Missive from the garrison quartermaster (Sergeant Crowler in Lunarfall, Sergeant Grimjaw in Frostwall) starts a chosen one for 200 Garrison Resources, 2,400 for all twelve · about 3 h
Tanaan Jungle opened: the first steps of the Tanaan garrison campaign, which set up Lion's Watch (Alliance) or Vol'mar (Horde) and open the dailies of the three factions · about 2 h
Tanaan Diplomat: Revered, 21,000 reputation from Neutral, with the Order of the Awakened (one daily, Unseen Influence, 1,500 a day: 14 days), with Hand of the Prophet (Alliance) or Vol'jin's Headhunters (Horde) (2,200 from the opening quests, then 1,000 a day from three dailies: about 19 days) and with The Saberstalkers (25 for each Blackfang saberon killed at Fang'rila, 500 for a rare one, 3,500 from the weekly Rumble in the Jungle) · about 12 h over 3 weeks

In all: about 38 h of play, spread over 3 weeks, starting from nothing.

Getting there

Lion's Watch, Tanaan Jungle (hub of the three reputations' dailies; the rest is spread over Draenor)

Tanaan Jungle · 57.5, 58.8

/way Tanaan Jungle 57.5 58.8

From Stormwind (Alliance) about 1.8 min of travel

Take the portal from Wizard's Sanctum to Ashran*
Fly the rest of the way

Vol'mar, Tanaan Jungle (hub of the three reputations' dailies; the rest is spread over Draenor)

Tanaan Jungle · 60.5, 46.4

/way Tanaan Jungle 60.5 46.4

From Orgrimmar (Horde) about 1.7 min of travel

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

The mount comes with the achievement. The place given above is a hub chosen for the route, where the daily round of the three Tanaan reputations starts; its coordinates are the two flight points from the game's taxi table, put on the Tanaan Jungle zone map of Draenor. The time on site is one day's round of Tanaan dailies, an estimate.

wow.gg (updated 2026) puts the whole achievement at 2 to 4 weeks of daily play and the Tanaan reputations at 14 days at the least, usually 3-4 weeks.

A way round the dailies: during Warlords of Draenor Timewalking the event's vendors, Tempra in Stormshield and Kronnus in Warspear, sell Commendations for the Tanaan factions at 50 Timewarped Badges for 300 reputation (wiki; a 2019 Wowhead comment counts 70 a faction, 3,500 badges). The wiki's list for Kronnus has those for the Order of the Awakened, the Saberstalkers and Vol'jin's Headhunters; the Alliance one for Hand of the Prophet is named in the Wowhead comment but not on the wiki pages consulted.

Other help with the reputations:

a Medallion of the Legion gives 1,000 with Draenor's factions (wiki)
a level 3 garrison Trading Post adds 20% to reputation earned in Draenor (wiki)
The Pit has had a missive of its own since patch 6.2.3 (Wowhead's guide)

Since patch 9.0.1 the achievement no longer has anything to do with flying in Draenor (wiki), but it still gives the mount. The wiki has Securing Draenor, Master Treasure Hunter and Tanaan Diplomat account-wide since patch 11.0, and Wowhead's tooltip shows account-wide progress for the Pathfinder achievement; whether parts done on different characters now add up was not confirmed in the game.

Wowhead's guide is the step-by-step one but was last updated in 2018: it asks for level 100 and a tier 2 or 3 garrison for the command table, from before the level squish, and says Securing Draenor has to be done on one character. Wowhead's comments on the achievement hold nothing useful from after 2020.

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