Acquisition Guide

Violet-Backed Skyfang is the violet-backed venom-tail wind serpent sold by Zul'jarra's Forces quartermaster Jan'sari the Watchful. Reach Renown 19 and save 8,000 Voidlight Marl, then buy it at 58.8, 46.0 on the Coiled Isle.

1

Unlock Zul'jarra's Forces

Complete the Patch 12.1 opening campaign through What Lies Beyond the Fog and meet Zul'jarra's army on the Coiled Isle. Confirm Zul'jarra's Forces appears as a renown track before farming.

2

Front-load one-time reputation

Complete the campaign, first kills of the twelve Coiled Isle rares, the 22 treasure achievement, and the ten Student of Hissstory lore objects. First rare kills award 50 reputation each, treasures 50 each, and lore objects 250 each, making these efficient before repeatable activities.

3

Farm repeatable renown

Continue with weekly and daily Coiled Isle activities, Curse Surges, and the Vaults patrol/strike/incursion cycle until Zul'jarra's Forces reaches Renown 19. Claim each renown rank so the vendor unlock flag updates.

4

Save 8,000 Voidlight Marl

Accumulate Voidlight Marl from Patch 12.1 activities and avoid spending below 8,000 before the purchase. This currency is separate from Corrosive Coin, Coiled Filament, and Remnant of Anguish.

5

Buy from Jan'sari

Go to Jan'sari the Watchful at 58.8, 46.0 on Coiled Isle map 2512. Open the Renown Quartermaster inventory and purchase Violet-Backed Skyfang after both Renown 19 and 8,000 Voidlight Marl requirements are satisfied.

6

Learn and distinguish it

Use the item and verify Violet-Backed Skyfang. It is the violet wind-serpent model; Indigo Coiled Horror at the same vendor is a three-headed writhe and unlocks earlier at Renown 17.

Tips

  • Complete one-time lore and treasure reputation before settling into repeatable event farming.

  • Reserve the mount cost because the same currency buys many other Midnight cosmetics.
