Introduction
Welcome to the world of Mount Farming in Mechagon! In this guide, we will explore the different mounts available in the Mechagon zone and how to obtain them. Mechagon is a fascinating zone in Battle for Azeroth where players can explore the land of mechs and machinery. Whether you're a seasoned mount collector or just starting out, Mechagon offers an exciting adventure with various mounts to acquire. So let's delve into the details and discover the paths to riding these mechanical wonders!
How to Get to Mechagon
Before we dive into the different mounts, let's first discuss how to get to Mechagon. Mechagon is accessible through your main city in either Stormwind or Orgrimmar. Head to the Call to Action board and look for the NPC next to it who will offer a quest to send you to Battle for Azeroth. Follow the questline and complete the tasks assigned to you. Eventually, you will find yourself in your main faction city for Battle for Azeroth. Continue the main campaign questline until you get to a point where you have to pick a zone to start questing in. Choose Mechagon and you'll be on your way to this mechanical paradise!
The Scrap Forge Meca Spider Mount
The first mount we will discuss is the Scrap Forge Meca Spider. This mount requires 12 days to obtain, but most of the quests are relatively straightforward. To start the questline, head to Rustbolt and speak to Recyc-a-Kachunk, an NPC in the main area. They will offer you a quest called "Shar Project." Complete this quest and return the next day to continue the questline. The quests leading up to obtaining the Scrap Forge Meca Spider can vary in difficulty, but I will highlight a few key quests to help you prepare.
On day six of the questline, you will need to collect 1,000 spare parts. Keep in mind that spare parts are used for other achievements and mounts as well, so ensure you set aside the necessary amount for this quest. On day eight, you will need to gather a bundle of recyclable parts. You can find these parts by killing mobs in the southern end of Mechagon. Combine the different parts you obtain to create a bundle, and then turn it in at the nearby machines. This will reward you with reputation, spare parts, and a chance at items needed for other achievements.
On the final day of the questline, you will need to craft the Scrap Forge Meca Spider itself. This requires eight spare crates (2,000 spare parts), five energy cells (which should be easy to obtain as you progress through Mechagon), and eight chain igniter coils (obtained from rare spawns, chests, or the vendor). Once you have all the materials, head to Pascal in Mechagon and craft the mount. Congratulations, you now have your very own Scrap Forge Meca Spider!
Pros:
- Relatively straightforward to obtain
- Can be completed over multiple days for flexibility
Cons:
- Requires daily commitment for 12 days
- Some quests may be more challenging than others
The x995 Mechanocat Mount
The next mount on our list is the x995 Mechanocat. Unlike the Scrap Forge Meca Spider, this mount is a craftable mount. Before you can craft the Mechanocat, you will need to purchase the recipe from Cork Stuttguard in Bondo's Yard. Once you have the recipe, gather the materials required: 2,000 spare parts, five energy cells, and four chain igniter coils. With the necessary materials in hand, head over to Pascal and craft your very own Mechanocat!
One unique feature of the Mechanocat is its ability to change colors. There are eight colors you can unlock, and once you have all eight, an additional color is unlocked. To change the color of your Mechanocat, head to Bundo's Yard and visit the spray paint area. Experiment with different colors and show off your customized Mechanocat to other players.
Pros:
- Craftable mount with materials obtained from Mechagon
- Color customization adds a unique touch
Cons:
- Requires purchasing the recipe and gathering materials
- Color variations require additional achievements
Low Drop Chance Rare Spawn Loot
In Mechagon, there are two mounts with a low drop chance that can be obtained from rare spawns. These mounts have a lower chance of dropping, but with perseverance, they can be yours. The first mount is the Junkheap Drifter, which drops from Rustfeather. Rustfeather can be found on the south ledge of Mechagon and has a drop chance of approximately 0.5%. This means you may have to kill Rustfeather multiple times before obtaining the mount.
The second mount is the Rusty Mechanocrawler, which drops from the Arachnoid Harvester. The Arachnoid Harvester can be found near Bondo's Yard and has a drop chance of around 0.4%. However, the Arachnoid Harvester also appears in an alternate timeline accessible through the Personal Time Displacer or when Chromie is the "visitor of the day." This alternate timeline can be less contested, giving you a better chance at obtaining the mount.
Pros:
- Unique mounts with a low drop chance
- Rare spawns add an additional challenge
Cons:
- Requires multiple kills to obtain
- Drop chance can be frustratingly low
The Rustbolt Resistor Mount
The Rustbolt Resistor is a mount that requires reaching exalted reputation with the Rustbolt Resistance faction and a hefty payment of 420,000 gold. To gain reputation with the Rustbolt Resistance, there are several methods you can pursue. Completing the main questline, killing rare spawns, and doing daily quests are some of the ways to earn reputation. In addition, you can engage in pet battle world quests, defeat boss pet battles in Mechagon, and complete fishing quests for reputation rewards.
Once you have reached exalted reputation, head to the vendor to purchase the Rustbolt Resistor mount. Keep in mind that reaching exalted reputation will take time, so be patient and continue to pursue different activities in Mechagon to earn reputation.
Pros:
- Unique mount from reaching exalted reputation
- Variety of activities in Mechagon to earn reputation
Cons:
- Requires a significant amount of gold
- Time-consuming to reach exalted reputation
Keys to Model W
The Keys to Model W mount is a reward for completing the Mechagon achievement called "Mecha-Done." This achievement is a comprehensive task that requires completing various objectives in Mechagon. The achievemennt includes completing the main questline, finishing specific questlines like "Outside Influencers" and "The League of Explorers," crafting 250 junkyard tinkering items, killing all rare spawns, unlocking all blueprints with Pascal, and constructing five different weapons.
Completing the Mechagon achievement is a challenging and time-consuming task. It requires dedication and persistence in exploring all corners of the island, engaging in different activities, and completing various objectives. However, the reward of the Keys to Model W mount is well worth the effort.
Pros:
- Prestigious mount for completing all objectives in Mechagon
- Requires exploration and engagement with various activities
Cons:
- Time-consuming and challenging achievement
- Requires completing multiple quests and tasks
Mythic Mechagon Dungeon Mounts
The Mythic Mechagon dungeon offers two mounts as rewards for completing specific objectives. The first mount is the Mechagon Peacekeeper, which has a drop chance of approximately 0.5% and can be obtained by defeating the fourth boss in the dungeon. This boss can be challenging to solo, so it is recommended to gather a group to increase your chances of success.
The second mount is the Aerial Unit R-21/X, which has a higher drop chance and can be obtained by completing the dungeon on Mythic difficulty. However, there is a twist to obtaining this mount. During the fight with the last boss, you need to kill all phases within a specific time limit, which requires a well-coordinated group and high DPS. If successful, you will have a chance to loot the mount.
Pros:
- Unique mounts obtainable from Mythic Mechagon dungeon
- Challenges players to coordinate and strategize
Cons:
- Requires Mythic difficulty and coordination for a higher drop chance
- Boss fights may be difficult to solo
Conclusion
Mechagon offers an exciting range of mounts for players to acquire. From daily quests and rare spawns to achievements and dungeon runs, there are various paths to obtain these mechanical wonders. Explore Mechagon, complete quests, defeat rare spawns, and earn reputation to unlock the different mounts available. Each mount brings its own unique challenges and rewards. So gear up, hop on your flying mount, and embark on your mount farming adventure in Mechagon!
