Summary
An incredibly luckyWorld of Warcraftplayer managed to obtain both Mimiron’s Head and Invincible on the same day. SinceThe Burning Crusade, mount culture inWorld of Warcrafthas steadily shifted towards owning prestige mounts, usually obtained from raids as extremely rare drops. While owning a Swift Zulian Tiger or Deathcharger’s Reins was seen as noteworthy prior to the opening of the Dark Portal, Ashes of Al’ar from Tempest Keep set the standard for rare mounts going forward.
This trend continued inWrath of the Lich King, in which Blizzard introduced Mimiron’s Head in Ulduar and Invincible in Icecrown Citadel. At the time, theserare mounts inWorld of Warcraftcould only be obtained by defeating the final boss of their respective raid on the highest possible difficulty. The launch ofCataclysmin 2010 reduced the drop rate to roughly 1%, making them on par (if not slightly more rare) than Ashes of Al’ar. For years,World of Warcraftplayers attempted to farm Mimiron’s Head and Invincible, but the raid lockout system meant that they only had one shot at obtaining the mount per week.
These factors are ultimately what makes ickyys' accomplishment so impressive, as thisWorld of Warcraftplayer managed to obtain both mounts on the same day, sharing a screenshot of the relevantWorld of Warcraftachievementsas proof. Both Mimiron’s Head and Invincible were looted by ickyys on July 30, 2025, with the player also managing to obtain the incredibly rareChromatic Swordshortly after. While farming Icecrown Citadel and Ulduar has become significantly easier than it used to be, it does not take away any luster from ickyys' incredible luck.
ThoughWorld of Warcrafthas since released plenty of rare mounts in other raid tiers, fans hold timeless classics such as Invincible in high esteem. In terms of lore, Invincible is the horse of Arthas Menethil, one of the most belovedWorld of Warcraftantagonists. This fact makes Invincible an extremely desirable mount, especially in the minds ofWarcraftveterans who played throughThe Frozen Thronein 2003.
As therelease date ofThe War Withinswiftly approaches,World of Warcraftplayers are preparing themselves for a new era in Azeroth. With the conclusion ofDragonflight, Blizzard is setting the stage for the Worldsoul Saga, a trilogy of expansions that will wrap up the major plot threads introduced throughoutWorld of Warcraft’s history. The first raid inThe War Withinwill pit players against the Nerubians, a faction that has lain dormant sinceWrath of the Lich King.
