Blood Knight / Paladin mount quests. Have they been removed?

[Illusiel-argent-dawn]

Felt a bit nostalgic and decided to make a Blood Elf Paladin to clean up some Loremaster Achivements I’ve neglected. Took him through Ghostlands and currently finishing up some Outland zones, and having a blast.

I was surprised (pleasantly, but still) to learn that I had the Blood Knight tabard unlocked for transmog at level 1, despite having never actually unlocked it before. I was less pleasantly surprised to learn that the class mount simply appeared in my mount journal as I levelled. The two class quests I’ve seen available at the trainer in Orgrimmar so far have been for a tier 1 remake helmet and some weapon.

On this character, my OG Warlock, I still have items in my bank which will allow me to summon the demons for the original Dreadsteed quest in Dire Maul. I was looking forward to doing some Blood Knight-exclusive quests on my Paladin, with their whole pre-Sunwell vibe of stealing the light and what have you.

I understand that some things have been streamlined, and I assume that if I were to level a new Warlock, on a new account, that the Felsteed and Dreadsteed would simply show up in my mount journal. But as I am still able to perform the rituals for the original quests on this Warlock - I’m wondering if it’s still possible to experience the original Blood Elf Paladin quests somehow, even if the rewards are given out freely?

Is this possible on retail, or would I have to play Classic TBC in order to do this?

Pretty much, yep. There are no class quests in the game (shaman totems, Druid forms, mounts) at least I had none of those while lvling. I have a 60+ shaman, haven’t had a quest for class related stuff, only for the starting zone ghost wolf form. I had a human paladin up until lvl 20ish, no mount quest at all. So my guess is: whatever you had before, you can still use it, if you create a new toon, it’ll be in your journal.

Almost all class quests were removed in Cata for some indecipherable reason. Though I think Blood Elf Mages and Draenei Warriors still have one each for… some reason?

They exist in WotLK Classic (TBC Classic is gone so you’ll be stuck doing the post-2.4 versions) though, if you can stomach playing that version of the game.
