Looking to farm a rare mount and get a lot of World of Warcraft gold in the process? Our Skyshard mount farm is one of the fastest and most rewarding methods in WoW: The War Within.
You’ll be going after the Reins of the Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent, a rare flying mount that can also be sold on the Auction House for a high price:
- NA Average Price: ~99,750
gold - EU Average Price: ~70,299 gold
Unlike many other mount farms, this one is quick. Most players can get the mount within 1–2 hours, especially with a good group.
How the Farm Works
To get the Reins of the Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent, you’ll need to collect 10x Skyshards. Once you have them, combine them into a Sky Crystal. Use that item on Alani, a rare dragon flying around Vale of Eternal Blossoms, and you’ll receive the mount directly.
Alani Location: Alani flies in a circular path above the Tu Shen Burial Ground in the Vale.
For maximum efficiency, we recommend farming on a Druid with a speed set. This helps you get more kills per hour.
Also, we recommend to use the following consumables that will boost your speed even more:
Here’s a useful Druid macro for fast tagging:

Skyshard Farming Strategies
Method 1: Timed Kill & Loot (Best Skyshard Drops)
- Form a 5-player group (preferably all Druids)
- Each player spreads out in a different part of the Tu Shen Burial Ground
- Set a timer for 25 minutes
- Focus only on killing mobs (do not loot)
- After 25 minutes, regroup and loot everything
- Skyshards are epic-quality and stay on the ground for 30 minutes
This method increases hyperspawns and gives you more kills per hour.
Method 2: Kill and Loot Normally
- Kill and loot mobs as you go
- Slower Skyshard drop rate, but consistent gold from Mote of Harmony
This method is only effective if all group members are Druids with speed gear, due to the wide spacing of the mobs.
Extra Loot You Can Sell
Aside from the mount, you can also farm Mote of Harmony. Combine 10 of them into a Spirit of Harmony, which also sells well:
| Item | NA Avg | EU Avg |
| Spirit of Harmony | 112 |
148 |
| Mote of Harmony (each) | 9 |
13 |
