9. Black Qiraji Battle Tank

“Although many varieties of Qiraji Battle Tank can still be found in the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj today, the darkest of the species were only seen on the day the Scarab gong was rung.”

From the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj in the remote wastelands of Silithus, the Black Qiraji Battle Tank comes from a family of strange insectoid creatures that worship the old god C'Thun.

Players who are fortunate enough to have acquired this mount are accustomed to a flurry of other people whispering them in-game as it is exceptionally rare. If you think the Battle of Stromgarde war effort is a pain, imagine having to gather hundreds of thousands of items just to make progress in an aspect of the game that was barely understood and poorly documented.

Back during classic World of Warcraft, players had to rely on hearsay and simplistic websites. There was no Wowhead or MMO-Champion to consult for information. Both Horde and Alliance players on every server were committed to the difficult task of gathering and turning in purple lotus, thorium bars, thick leather, and copper bars, just to name a few. This was well before Cross-realm technology was added to the game, so it often took months to complete and required the full cooperation of the entire server.

While players contributed to the war effort, others embarked on the Scepter of the Shifting Sands quest line, starting in Silithus. To this day, the Scepter quest line remains the longest in the history of the game. Coupled with slow reputation grinds, the fact that you needed to be a member of a competent raiding guild to complete the quest (well before the existence of the Looking for Group system) discouraged many players from even trying to complete the quest. Once completed, players were given the Scepter and tasked to ring the gong, which opened the gates to Ahn’Qiraj. There, the reward was a weapon of the player’s choice, as well as a legendary mount, the Black Qiraji Battle Tank. Other players who partially finished the quest but missed ringing the gong were given a ten-hour window to grab the mount. At this time, the mount is no longer available.

This mount received an unexpected model update in World of Warcraft: Legion, so keep an eye out for players who were lucky enough to get this storied mount!
