After two decades of relentless dedication and countless adventures, a World of Warcraft player has finally conquered a legendary milestone—securing their 1000th mount!
The player has posted a screenshot showcasing their collection and shared their thoughts on the long journey to the milestone in a thread on Reddit!
A 20-Year Journey to 1000 Mounts
“WoW, what a long, strenuous, fun, and at times annoying journey it’s been,” the player reflected. Over two decades, they have diligently collected mounts, from basic quest rewards to extremely rare raid drops. What started as a fun vanity item collection soon became a deep passion and long-term goal.
The First and 1000th Mount: A Full Circle
The mount collector remembered their first-ever mount, the 
Striped Nightsaber, obtained when their Night Elf hit level 40. Fast forward to the 1000th mount, the 
Slayer’s Felbroken Shrieker, completed the collection in a memorable style.
Favorite Mounts Along the Way
The player also highlighted some of their personal favorite mounts, including
Swift Zulian Tiger
Soaring Spelltome
Swift Spectral Tiger
Mottled Drake
Island Thunderscale
Each of these mounts represents not just rare drops or achievements, but significant memories and challenges faced along the way.
The Longest Grind: Tomb Stalker and 408 Attempts
While most of the mounts were easy to collect, the player shared the story of their longest grind: 408 attempts to collect the 
Tomb Stalker from the last boss in King’s Rest. This mount tested their patience more than any other…
Reaching a Milestone Worth Celebrating
After hitting 1K mounts, the player couldn’t help but feel proud:
“I can’t tell you how proud I am to have achieved this milestone. It really is a good feeling to hit this goal,” the player recalled.
Advice to Mount Collectors!
The avid mount collector recommends everyone to get a lot of the achievements or rare spawn mounts during content when it’s active because it’s easier to find groups that farm them.
