Acquisition Guide

The Curious Slateback is a mount obtained from the Wriggling Pinnacle Cache, a reward from completing the Ecological Succession weekly world quest in the Oasis biodome in the northeastern part of K'aresh.

1

Unlock Ecological Succession

Complete Campaign Chapter 4, which becomes available in Week 2 of patch 11.2, then finish the first Oasis storyline to unlock the Ecological Succession activities in the Oasis biodome in the northeastern part of K'aresh.

2

Fill the Weekly Progress Bar

Complete the general Weekly Quests, species-related Semi-Weekly Quests, and other Ecological Succession activities to fill the progress bar, which causes the Ecological Succession weekly world quest to auto-complete and award the Wriggling Pinnacle Cache.

3

Speed Up With Watering Jugs

The Watering Jug is available on the Auction House and contributes 3–4% per use toward the bar; one variant has infinite uses, letting you spam it at a single plant until the weekly is done.

4

Open Cache, Learn Mount Immediately

The Curious Slateback can drop from the first Wriggling Pinnacle Cache of the week, sharing a loot slot with one of 12 possible pets — learn the mount immediately upon receiving it, as duplicates are possible in subsequent weeks.
