This item was originally part of a game time bundle promotion in celebration of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, which grants the mount itself and 180 days of game time for $77.94 USD (price will differ in adjusted local currencies for Canada, Japan, and New Zealand). Players who had already purchased the 180 days of game time service within the 30 days prior to
September 19, 2018 (approx August 19, 2018, and after), or currently have a 6-month recurring subscription, also automatically received the mount at no additional charge. The offer lasted up until October 21, 2018, and the mount must be claimed in the Blizzard Battle.net desktop app (gift box icon in the upper right-hand corner of the launcher) or from Blizzard's website (accessible from the Account drop-down menu) before April 30, 2019.
As planned,[1] it was added to the Blizzard Shop and In-Game Shop by itself on April 23, 2019.[2]
