Acquisition Guide

The Grand Gryphon is an Alliance-only mount rewarded for completing the final quest in the Operation: Shieldwall campaign in Kun-Lai Summit during Mists of Pandaria.

Join Operation: Shieldwall

As an Alliance player, begin the Operation: Shieldwall campaign quest chain in Kun-Lai Summit. Work through the full chain until you complete the final quest to receive the Grand Gryphon as a free reward.

Claim Your Mount Reward

Upon completing the last quest in the Operation: Shieldwall chain, the Grand Gryphon is awarded at no cost — no reputation grind or gold purchase is required for this specific mount.

Check Your Horde Alts

Once you learn the Grand Gryphon on your Alliance character, your Horde alts on the same account automatically receive the Grand Wyvern, so there is no need to repeat the campaign on the opposite faction.

Tips

The Grand Armored Gryphon is a separate mount purchased at exalted reputation with Operation: Shieldwall for 1,800 gold, or 1,600 gold with the guild perk — and its Horde counterpart is the Grand Armored Wyvern.
