Say what you want, but him holding that staff with his soul in it is a dead giveaway. His horse has strong similarities with the Warcraft 2 DK Mounts. Attumen is a Death Knight himself, you see him in his wowwiki page ( ) holding a staff which contains his Orcish Soul, and his body is just a dead human warrior. Note how the horse has more flesh on it than a Skeletal Warhorse. The Skeletal Undead mounts are the ones the Warcraft 3 death knights use, like Arthas.Ĭheck out, you will see how the concept artists designed the Warcraft 2 Death Knights, and their horses. Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate.Ĭomment by AlittanUnlike what people have said, this IS the Death Knight mount of the Warcraft 2 death knights (AKA Ner'zhul's death knights before he became the Lich King). This message bought to you by the Shorticus board of Useless Information. Now it's 1 in 100, which puts it at 1% like many of these mounts, but the instance is freely resettable.
Previously, Rivendare's mount had (as confirmed by blizz) a 1 in 5000 drop rate, which not only made it the rarest mount in the game, but (I believe) the lowest drop-rate item in the game period, barring world drop epics. The red AQ bug, which has an extremely low droprate but which drops from trash which can be forced to respawn by soft-resetting the instance. The Phoenix from TK, which comes from a 1-week reset but also is listed as having a slightly higher droprate The White Hawkstriker from MgT heroic, which has (according to WoWhead) a 2-3% drop rate The Raven mount from Anzu, which has a 1% drop rate but is doable every day The ZG mounts (Razzashi Raptor and Zulian Tiger) from ZG, which have a 1% drop rate but come from an instance with a 5day reset This, which has a 1% drop rate and comes from an instance with a week-long reset
Comment by ShortyWith the changes to the droprate of Rivendare's deathcharger, this is probably now the single rarest drop-capable mount in the game.ĭiscounting loot cards, limited-time-only mounts (holiday events or one-time-only world events), the AQ Black Battle Tank, and mounts that simply require a serious time investment (wintersabers, achievement rewards), we're left with:
