Collecting mounts can be exhausting. Getting a new mount every week feels like a good pace – but prepare to be amazed (and maybe a little jealous).
Meet a true collector: Creepy_Fail_8635 managed to get almost 2 mounts a day (600 in total!) for an entire year! This is some extraordinary dedication, emphasizing consistency, time investment and use of helpful tools like DataforAzeroth, SimpleArmory and MountJournalEnhanced.

So how does this amount compare to the top collectors in the game? Well, it’s still pretty impressive, but a ways of the very top. The current No.1 mount-aficionado has 1173 mounts at their disposal! Considering the pace, Creepy_Fail_8635 isn’t that far off, but those last ones are much, much harder than the initial thousand or so.
