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 making their debut in WoW China, starting January 15th. These mounts are reimagined versions of the incredibly rare Pureblood Fire Hawk and Ashes of Al'ar, respectively.

The Blazing Royal Fire Hawk, reminiscent of its predecessor, boasts a unique addition: auspicious clouds within its wings while in flight. These clouds, symbolic of peace and good fortune in Chinese culture, add a distinct flair. The Golden Ashes of Al'ar, a gilded variation of the original, features a sleek black saddle and evocative flavor text referencing Kael'thas Sunstrider's famous 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 through a "Treasure Workshop" event, and the Golden Ashes of Al'ar from Landro's Loot Box (¥200, approximately $27). The loot box offers a chance at other valuable items, including the X-51 Nether Rocket X-TREME and the Swift Spectral Tiger. Team purchases offer bonus crates.

Currently, there's no indication of a global release for these mounts, making them exclusive to WoW China players for now.
