Qiraji Battle Tanks (AQ40): The Temple's Colored Mounts

Section: Items & gear 1 min read Vanilla 1.12.1 · x5 Updated 14.09.2026

Qiraji Battle Tanks are beetle-like mounts from the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj (AQ40). Unlike the famous black Scarab Lord version, the colored ones — blue, green, yellow and red — work only inside the temple, yet remain a coveted raider trophy. On wowx5.ru x5 reaching AQ40 and gearing for it is much easier.

Where they drop

Each color is summoned by its own Resonating Crystal, which drops inside AQ40. The crystals come from various raid sources, so completing the full set means many temple runs.

Why you want them

Inside the vast temple a fast mount speeds up boss-to-boss travel and adds flair to the raid. Collectors chase all four colors for the full set, while the black version stays a separate, far rarer goal — granted only for the Scepter of the Shifting Sands chain.

x5 farming tip

Because the crystals drop only in AQ40, the key is a steady raid. Build your AQ40 roster and gear, finish the needed resistance sets and pair mount farming with the raid's iconic loot.
