Leading the Cavalry requires that you are able to summon 50 different mounts. Temporary items that let you ride a mount do not count towards this achievement. Upon completion, Mei Francis will mail you the [Reins of the Albino Drake], a swift flying mount.
This achievement is impossible without The Burning Crusade expansion. Furthermore, the reward is usable only in Outland or Northrend.
This achievement is part of a series:
Stable Keeper
- Filling Up The Barn
- Leading the Cavalry
Strategy
- At level 40, when you have exalted reputation with all your faction's home cities, you can acquire 32 mounts from these cities.
- You can acquire 1 mount in Alterac Valley, and 4 more mounts from Hall of Legends or Champions' Hall, from battleground tokens
- When you are exalted with the Kurenai (Alliance) or Mag'har (Horde) faction, you can purchase 4 Riding Talbuks and 4 War Talbuks.
- When you are exalted with the Sha'tari Skyguard you can get 5 nether ray mounts.
- When you are exalted with the Cenarion Expedition you may purchase the
[Cenarion War Hippogryph] for 1,600 gold. - When you are exalted with the Netherwing faction, you can get 6 Netherwing drake mounts.
- Mei Francis in Dalaran sells 4 different mounts.
- Grand Master tailors can build 2 flying mounts that only tailors of appropriate skill level can use.
- Grand Master engineers can build 2 flying mounts that only engineers of appropriate skill level can use.
- Grand Master engineers can build one ground mount that can be used by anyone, but it is tremendously expensive - money that would be better spent on buying mounts from vendors first.
- Warlocks and paladins get two summonable mounts at levels 20 and 40. Death knights get a summonable mount at level 55.
- Alliance characters who are exalted with The Winterspring Trainers can also purchase the Winterspring Saber. Horde characters can do the same in Un'Goro Crater for their ravasaur mount.
- The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj has random drops of four mounts (red, green, blue, and yellow) that can only be used within that raid instance, however they still count towards the achievement.
Thinking ahead
If you are starting out a character with the intention of getting this achievement or Mountain o' Mounts, then there are a few ways you can plan ahead, some of which are listed above.
- Choose a Walock or a Paladin for two free mounts.
- Become an Engineer or a Tailor. You can train up high enough to make these mounts and then drop the profession, if you chose to - you will no longer be able to use the mount, but it will still be in your mounts and count towards the achievement. You CAN be both professions at the same time, but it is very expensive if you don't already have a miner alt.
- If you run a Druid, know that flight form and epic flight form do not count towards the total of mounts.
