You can buy WoW mounts three legit ways: from the in-game Blizzard Shop with real money (store mounts typically run about $20-$25 each), from in-game vendors using gold or reputation, or from the Trading Post using free monthly Trader's Tender. A handful of crafted or bind-on-equip mounts are also sellable player-to-player on the Auction House for gold, so no single method covers everything.
The 4 ways to buy a mount
| Source | Pay with | Best for |
| Blizzard in-game Shop | Real money (~$20-$25) or Battle.net Balance | Exclusive store mounts you want instantly |
| Gold & reputation vendors | In-game gold / faction rep | Ground & flying mounts, class mounts, riding tiers |
| Trading Post | Trader's Tender (earned free monthly) | Rotating cosmetic mounts at no real cost |
| Auction House | In-game gold | Crafted & BoE drop mounts other players list |
How to buy a mount from the in-game Shop
- Open the game menu and click Shop (the little cart icon).
- Go to the Mounts tab and pick one.
- Pay with a card or your Battle.net Balance.
- The mount lands in your in-game mailbox or Collections instantly, account-wide.
Can you buy mounts with gold instead of real money?
Yes. Riding trainers, faction quartermasters, and special vendors sell mounts for gold, often gated behind a reputation rank. Many are dirt cheap once you have the riding skill; others cost tens of thousands of gold. The Auction House also carries crafted mounts like engineering choppers that anyone can buy outright.
What's the difference between Shop mounts and Trading Post mounts?
Shop mounts cost real money and stay available year-round. Trading Post mounts rotate monthly and are bought with Trader's Tender, a currency you earn free just by playing and completing the monthly activity card. If you cap your Tender each month, you can grab most Trading Post mounts without spending a cent.
Are bought mounts account-wide?
Almost always. Once learned, a mount unlocks in your Collections for every character on your Battle.net account (subject to faction, class, or level rules on a few). That's why buying one good mount effectively kits out your whole roster.
Which rare mounts can't simply be bought?
The real trophies, raid drops, Mythic+ seasonal mounts, PvP-rating rewards, and long grind mounts, aren't for sale at all. They come from clearing content or hitting a rating. That's the gap most players hit: you can buy convenience mounts, but the flex mounts take skill and time.
