This item was available for purchase from the shops for $25. It was released on 8 January 2013.[1] With the See You Later Bundle on 20 December 2018, this mount was available at a discounted price with other items and has since been removed from the store as it entered hibernation in the Blizzard Archive as of 19 January 2019.[2]

Since then, it has been available for a limited time on multiple occasions:

  • In 2022, it was given out as a reward to viewers of eligible Twitch streams who watched for at least four hours from December 9-13.[3]
  • It was later available as an Amazon Prime Gaming offer from 26 December 2023 to 30 January 2024.[4]

It should come as no surprise that the mist-shrouded lands of Pandaria are host to a wild array of exotic beasts, a rare few of them suitable as mounts.

Behold, one of the very rarest and most majestic...

Notes

  • The Swift Windsteed was the first windsteed to be added to World of Warcraft, and remained the only creature in the game to use this model until the addition of more windsteed mounts in WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria, nearly 12 years later.
