Summary
- Two exclusive Chinese World of Warcraft mounts, the Blazing Royal Fire Hawk and the Golden Ashes of Al'ar, are reimagined versions of rare drops.
- Available in China starting January 15th through specific promotions.
- The Blazing Royal Fire Hawk features auspicious clouds, while the Golden Ashes of Al'ar is a gilded tribute to Kael'thas Sunstrider.
World of Warcraft China is introducing two new mounts: the Blazing Royal Fire Hawk and the Golden Ashes of Al'ar. These stunning mounts, unavailable in other regions, are re-interpretations of the incredibly rare Pureblood Fire Hawk and Ashes of Al'ar. Their arrival follows the successful re-establishment of the NetEase and Blizzard partnership, bringing games like World of Warcraft, Diablo IV, and Overwatch 2 back to China. This return has been celebrated with events like the unveiling of a Lightforged Gorehowl statue and the release of the Xiao Liu pet.
These new mounts, launching January 15th, are available through separate promotions exclusive to China. They appear usable in both modern and Classic WoW.
New Chinese World of Warcraft Promotional Mounts
- Blazing Royal Fire Hawk
- Golden Ashes of Al'ar
The Blazing Royal Fire Hawk closely resembles the Pureblood Fire Hawk (a rare drop from Ragnaros in WoW: Cataclysm's Firelands raid), but features auspicious clouds (xiangyun) within its wings while flying. These clouds, symbolizing peace, immortality, and good fortune, hold deep cultural significance in China. The Golden Ashes of Al'ar, a golden version of the Ashes of Al'ar (dropped by Kael'thas Sunstrider in The Burning Crusade's The Eye raid), boasts a stylish black saddle and evocative flavor text referencing Kael'thas' iconic line: "The golden Al'ar, beloved pet of Kael'thas Sunstrider, proves that death is merely a setback."
The Blazing Royal Fire Hawk is obtained through an event called the Treasure Workshop (details to be announced). The Golden Ashes of Al'ar is acquired from Landro's Loot Box, costing ¥200 (approximately $27). Each box contains one of eight items, including other prestigious rewards such as the X-51 Nether Rocket X-TREME and the Swift Spectral Tiger (an extremely rare mount from the discontinued WoW TCG). Team purchases offer bonus crates based on spending milestones.
While there's currently no indication of an international release for these mounts, their striking designs are sure to captivate WoW players worldwide.
