How Collector’s Bounty event works
The Collector’s Bounty event increases your chances of getting Legendary mounts, Dungeon and Raid mounts, and select pre-Dragonflight transmog items and their components. Below, we’ve listed the most notable rewards affected by this buff.
Blizzard has confirmed a +5% drop rate increase for most items, and in some cases, the bonus reaches up to 25x. All these bonuses only apply to mounts that have a drop chance. They do not affect mounts with a 100% guaranteed drop from rare mobs, such as the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake.
The buff is enabled by default, but if you wish to toggle it, simply visit any innkeeper in major cities to turn it off or back on.
When Collector’s Bounty event starts
The Collector’s Bounty event begins on July 1, 2025, and ends on July 29, 2025.
That gives you nearly a full month to farm rare mounts and transmog items at increased drop rates. Don’t miss your chance: check out the full list of affected rewards below.

Tips for fast mount farming
Here are the most essential tips and tricks to farm mounts efficiently and quickly during the Collector’s Bounty event and after it ends:
- Know your priorities
Before the event begins, decide which mounts you want to focus on. Look at drop rates, appearances, and how hard the instance is to clear. - Focus on what you already have unlocked
If an instance requires a long quest chain to unlock, consider skipping it during the event. Focus your time on raids and dungeons you can access immediately. - Know the mount requirements
Some mounts only drop on Mythic difficulty, while others drop on Normal and up. LFR mounts may require a specific wing. Be sure to check above what mode you need to run. - Use alts
More characters mean more chances. Spread your attempts across multiple alts each week to increase your odds. - Plan your farm route
SimpleArmory’s planner tool can help you map out a farming path based on the mounts you need. - Check your raid skips
Legacy raid guide can help. If you’ve unlocked skips in Mythic difficulty, they often apply to Normal and Heroic too. This can save a lot of time. - Build for speed
Use class movement speed bonuses and gear to speed up your runs. - Use speed foods
Some foods increase your movement speed. Options like Fried Bonefish or Exquisitely Eviscerated Muscle may help. - Consider skipping Legion
Legion Remix is confirmed and might make many Legion mounts easier to get. If that event is like MoP Remix, you may want to hold off farming Legion mounts for now.
Collector’s Bounty event transmog discounted
As for transmog items, the developers have confirmed increased drop rates (+5%) during Collector’s Bounty event for the following pieces:
- Eye of Sulfuras, Bindings of the Windseeker, Bindings of the Windseeker (Molten Core drops) – ingredients for Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros.

- Warglaive of Azzinoth and Warglaive of Azzinoth (Black Temple drops from Illidan Stormrage).
