World of Warcraft Adding Recolors of Rare Mounts, But There\'s a Catch

Two exclusive WoW mounts, the Blazing Royal Fire Hawk and the Golden Ashes of Al'ar, are coming to World of Warcraft China. These mounts, reimagined versions of the rare Pureblood Fire Hawk and Ashes of Al'ar, will be available starting January 15th through special promotions.

The Blazing Royal Fire Hawk, reminiscent of the Pureblood Fire Hawk, boasts auspicious clouds within its wings while in flight, a nod to Chinese symbolism. The Golden Ashes of Al'ar, a gilded variation of the original Ashes of Al'ar, features a sleek black saddle and a flavor text referencing Kael'thas Sunstrider's iconic quote: "The golden Al'ar, beloved pet of Kael'thas Sunstrider, proves that death is merely a setback."

These mounts are obtainable through separate promotions: the Blazing Royal Fire Hawk via a "Treasure Workshop" event, and the Golden Ashes of Al'ar from Landro's Loot Box, a ¥200 (approximately $27 USD) crate offering various rewards, including other rare mounts. Team purchases of loot boxes offer bonus crates.

While currently exclusive to China, the possibility of an international release remains open. For now, players outside China can only appreciate these visually stunning additions to the game from afar.
