Notes and sources
Raider Bork's coordinates are those given for the Black War Kodo (Wowhead's, 41.4-41.8, 72.2-73.6) and were not read again. By the same notes he sells the Black War Kodo, Black War Wolf, Red Skeletal Warhorse and Swift Warstrider at the same price.
The journal's cost of 15 is Marks of Honor (wiki: the price since patch 7.0.3, before that 2,000 Honor). Marks are bound to the Warband since patch 11.0.2, so they can be earned on any character and spent by a Horde one. No PvP rank or reputation is asked for: the rank requirement went in patch 2.0.1 (wiki).
The wiki gives no number of Marks per win, so the hours are a rough figure; the notes for the Black War Kodo give wow.gg's figure of 40-60 minutes for 15 Marks. The wiki names no vendor for Algari Distinguishment and no Midnight version of the exchange.
Two items teach this mount: the wiki calls 29472 the item of the game today and 18246 the original of 2005; Wowhead's tooltip for 18246 shows the same vendor and price. The wiki mentions no Alliance twin. Wowhead's page for the mount was not read.
Confidence in this entry: high. Looked up in 2026.
