How to get it

Sold by Necrolord Sipe in Old Town, Stormwind City, 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 fill of a season gives that season's own vicious mount, and every fill after it gives a saddle.

Time there about 2 min a visit

Notes and sources

The journal's 'Cost: 1' is one Vicious Saddle. This id is the Alliance mount (item 143648); the Horde one of the same name (item 143649) is a separate mount sold by Deathguard Netharian in Orgrimmar's Valley of Strength.

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; its own mount is the Vicious Lightbloom Boar. The wiki's wording for the saddle: one 'each time the Rated PvP progress bar is filled to 100% after the current seasonal mount has been earned'. The win counts per bar are a guide's figures, not Blizzard's, and the hours assume about half of matches won; the Rated tab's bar shows the real progress.

The saddle binds when picked up (wiki), so it is spent by the character that earned it; the mount's own item binds to the Warband (Wowhead's tooltip).

The mount was added in patch 7.2.0 and asks for level 17 (wiki). Sipe's coordinates are the wiki's. wow.gg's guide is written for the Vicious War Ram and does not name the turtle, but the way to a saddle and the vendor are the same.

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