PvP Mounts: Alterac Valley Steeds in WoW Classic
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ru# PvP Mounts in WoW Classic Vanilla
The main source of PvP mounts in Vanilla is the Alterac Valley (AV) battleground. With reputation from your camp's faction you earn unique war steeds you can't buy in a capital. Here are both, on WowX5 x5.
Alliance — Stormpike Battle Charger
- Faction: Stormpike Guard.
- Requirement: Exalted with the Stormpike Guard.
- Where: the Alliance quartermaster in Alterac Valley.
The battle ram differs from the dwarves' plain ram with war barding — a mark of an AV veteran.
Horde — Frostwolf Howler
- Faction: Frostwolf Clan.
- Requirement: Exalted with the Frostwolf Clan.
- Where: the Horde quartermaster in Alterac Valley.
How to grind AV reputation quickly
Reputation grows from active play, not just wins:
- Killing the enemy generals and bosses (Vanndar / Drek'Thar) gives a large boost.
- Internal objectives: turning in blood, armor and supplies; summoning allied bosses; capturing mines and points.
- Every completed match adds reputation — play regularly.
| Camp | Mount | Faction |
|---|---|---|
 Alliance | Battle ram | Stormpike Guard |
 Horde | Howler | Frostwolf Clan |
Useful resources
Before heading into AV, study the honor system guide and the battleground guide — for gear and tactics. Other ways to earn a mount are reputation mounts and rare drop mounts. The core mechanics are in the mounts guide. Join the fight on WowX5!
