Acquisition Guide

The Reins of the Blazing Drake is a rare mount drop from Madness of Deathwing in Dragon Soul on both normal and heroic difficulties.

Enter Dragon Soul Raid

Travel to Dragon Soul and fight your way through the instance until you reach the final boss, Madness of Deathwing. You can enter Dragon Soul via the Raid Finder or by entering the instance directly.

Defeat Madness of Deathwing

Defeat Madness of Deathwing on either normal or heroic difficulty. The Reins of the Blazing Drake has a rare drop chance from this boss on both modes, so you may need to run the raid multiple times across reset weeks.

Note the Heroic Variant

Heroic mode also has a chance to drop the Life-Binder's Handmaiden, a separate mount. Since Mists of Pandaria, its drop rate was lowered to approximately 1–3%, so it is no longer a guaranteed drop.

Complete the Meta Achievement

If you are working toward the Dragon Soul meta achievement, completing it rewards the Reins of the Twilight Harbinger, which is a separate mount from the Blazing Drake.

Tips

If you receive the Blazing Drake, it is worth keeping — even if it does not immediately appeal to you.
