The Dreadsteed quest sends you to Winterspring and Felwood for some sleuthing and conversations with demons, and it ends with a battle against hordes of enemies in Dire Maul West, which itself requires a key from Dire Maul East. But you do still save gold in the end and get a unique-looking mount, to boot! You don’t exactly get the mounts for free - you have to work for them. To get these mounts, you have to spend some time traveling the world, gathering materials, spending gold, and fighting off powerful enemies with groups. And for Paladins, you get an armored horse that looks fittingly regal for the Paladin style. If you’re playing a Warlock in Classic, you need this mount. It has hooves that are on fire and a lot of horns.

The Warlock’s Dreadsteed is an elaboration on the Felsteed they get (for free, I might add) at level 40. Every bit of savings you can do is a big deal. We’re talking 1,000 gold in a game where it takes hours to earn even a single piece of gold early on.

It might not sound like much if you play the modern game, but back in WoW Classic, mounts were expensive. If you don’t already know, Warlock and Paladins get access to their epic mounts for cheaper than the rest of the classes in the game. Thankfully, we didn’t have to wait until the release of Phase 2 as originally announced. Both the Dreadsteed and the Charger required the release of the classic dungeon to complete their quest lines. With the release of Dire Maul for WoW Classic, Warlocks and Paladins finally have the ability to grab their epic, 100% speed mounts.
