World of Warcraft‘s Sporebearer Fungal Strider is coming with Patch 12.1.5, and its base price will be 5 million gold. Players who want every available vendor option can spend as much as 7 million gold before Midnight ends. Patch 12.1.5 is expected in roughly five weeks, giving interested players some time to build up their savings.
The mount will include a repair vendor and mailbox by default. Players can also purchase a transmog vendor for 500,000 gold and an Auction House vendor for 1.5 million gold, then swap the available services to create their preferred setup.
The Sporebearer Fungal Strider’s price breakdown
The base mount costs 5 million gold. Adding only the transmog vendor raises the total to 5.5 million gold, while adding only the Auction House vendor brings it to 6.5 million gold. Players who want both additional services will pay the full 7 million gold.
Once Midnight ends, the Sporebearer Fungal Strider will no longer be available. Anyone planning to buy it will need to reach at least the 5 million gold base price before then, while the complete setup requires another 2 million gold.
Gold-making routes for the 5 million target
ElonCS’s gold-making guide covers several ways to work toward the price instead of relying on a single farm. The suggestions include maximizing world quests, collecting weekly caches, using concentration crafting, flipping items through the cross-realm Auction House, and gathering materials efficiently.
Those options give players different paths depending on the characters, professions, and markets available to them. The target is still a large one, but starting early leaves more room to combine smaller income sources rather than trying to find one method that produces the entire amount.
ElonCS is also documenting a fresh account’s attempt to go from zero to 5 million gold in time to purchase the mount. The first video focuses on the wider gold-making strategies.
A second video follows the progress of that new account as it works toward the same goal.
