I am trying to get these mounts Kaldorei Nightsaber and Umber Nightsaber that drops from 2 rare mobs in Darkshore. I traveled there by myself and found Shadowclaw one of the mobs that drops one a mount. It was not attackable though.
It seems I have to do the Darkshore Warfront from BfA. I never played during BfA so I dont know how that works. I did this quest line https://www.wowhead.com/quest=53955/warfront-the-battle-for-darkshore#comments. But the last quest didnt trigger for me. On one of my characters i finished the Zandalari Campaign but the that character did not get this quest either. What do I need to do to get this quest, if possible? Do I have to start the warfront myself by warfront contributions? If so how do I do that?
I don’t think that’s your problem. If the mob wasn’t attackable, it just means the raremob was dead when you got there. The cat is only his pet and stays behind after the rare is killed. To be sure I would check on other rares; if they are there.
Darkshore is currently occupied by the Alliance, which means they get the rares for that zone.
Horde currently occupies Arathi Highlands, which means you can go there to kill some rares, AH has some mounts also.
You can tell if your faction has the zone by either:
Checking WoWHead
Checking the Warfront table in BFA’s main city
Opening the map for that zone, if there’s world quests then you have the zone.
The cycle is a bit odd, and we can only kill the rares once per cycle. It’s not daily like many other rares/mobs we have in other zones. It’s every time the warfront changes hands.
