Scorching Valor: Lunar New Year Mount Preview

Now that is a really really pretty mount

Meanwhile Classic players get a PET!

ooh boy

Where is the harm to add it to EU/NA as an event reward or trading post item?

When I saw the shadow outline of the mount originally, I was thinking, "oh great, it'll be a harlequin/Dark Moon Faire type mount." That mount actually looks pretty cool. Nothing like I was expecting. For the Lunar mounts, though, they've been doing the Algalon type mounts, so a spectral star horse made more sense. Like an updated Celestial Steed. Granted, I guess they already did that so probably the reason why they went a different direction.

They haven't been doing Algalon-style mounts for Lunar New Year mounts though?

The Lunar New Year mounts follow the Chinese Zodiac with both the animal and the element (the Chinese Zodiac uses five elements and changes every two years: Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, Fire). 2026 is a Fire Horse year so, Fire Horse.


(Should note the elemental theming for the Lunar New Year mounts wasn't really consistent until Lucky Yun in 2021, the Metal Ox. After that they've always done the correct element with the animal)

I read that initially as Fire Hose. @_@
