Look it up on WowheadHow to get it
Reward of Snowfeather Reunion, the last of the Snowfeather Hatchling's 15 quests, which come one a day. The hatchling is a battle pet: while the world quest Snowfeather Swarm! is up on the north coast of Highmountain, kill the Snowfeather Matriarch and feed the Orphaned Snowfeather that appears nearby. The pet has to be summoned to offer each quest and to get credit for it. The chain ends back on that coast, at the wounded matriarch.
Time there about 5 min a visit
Before you go
- The world quest Snowfeather Swarm! up on Highmountain's north coast (it is not there every day): kill the Snowfeather Matriarch (35.1, 21.9), loot her, and feed the Orphaned Snowfeather (32.5, 28.2) a Smoked Elderhorn, sold by Marius Felbane to the south (29.8, 40.0) and by food vendors in Dalaran · about 0.3 h
- Raising Your Snowfeather, the first quest: the hatchling at pet level 25 · about 2 h
- The other 14 quests, one a day with the hatchling out: a visit to Orgrimmar or Stormwind; four rounds of three pet battles against wild pets (Northern Hawk Owls, Spiketail Beavers, Mudshell Conches, Coralback Fiddlers); 5 Highmountain world quests; 3 pet battle world quests, twice (two of the pet battle steps ask for two more pets of a set family on the team); one rare elite world quest; 3 PvP world quests; an item bought in Dalaran; Naraxas killed in Neltharion's Lair and Ursoc in The Emerald Nightmare, on any difficulty; and the reunion · about 5 h over 2 weeks
In all: about 7.3 h of play, spread over 2 weeks, starting from nothing.
Getting there
/way Highmountain 32.5 28.2 - Take the portal from Wizard's Sanctum to Azsuna*
- Fly the rest of the way
- Take the portal from Pathfinder's Den to Azsuna*
- 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
A ground mount. The orphan only appears for a character that has killed and looted the matriarch (comments of 2016 and 2023), and a full pet journal stops the pet from being learned (Wowhead's guide, of which only an excerpt was seen). Credit only counts with the hatchling summoned at the moment an objective completes (2022 comment). Alliance characters take the hatchling to the Gilded Rose in Stormwind (2016 comment).
Each next quest is offered after the daily reset that follows the last hand-in (2016 Wowhead comment), so 15 quests take at least 15 days; the wiki calls it a fourteen-day chain and lists 15 quests. Comments of 2022 and 2023 say a quest handed in on one character lets another character that has not done one that day pick up the next. wow.gg says the PvP world quests can be done without defeating players.
The quests, in the wiki's order:
- Raising Your Snowfeather
- The Smell of Humans or The Smell of Orcs
- Hunting Lesson: Northern Hawk Owls
- Allies in Highmountain
- Snowfeather Team Up
- Deadly Prey
- Hunting Lesson: Spiketail Beaver
- The Unfriendly Faction
- Snowfeather Bonding
- Hunting Lesson: Mudshell Conch
- Teamwork Lesson: Naraxas
- Hunting Lesson: Coralback Fiddler
- Teamwork Lesson: Ursoc
- Snowfeather Team Rumble
- Snowfeather Reunion
No player report newer than 2023 was read; that the chain is unchanged in Midnight rests on wow.gg's guide, written and updated in 2026. Having the mount also opens the hidden faction Talon's Vengeance (see the Ivory Hawkstrider).
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
