Guide
The Gilnean Prowler mount is obtained at the end of a short questline about the reclamation of Gilneas. It is about ~13 quests long, depending on your faction and race. Despite Worgen being an Alliance only race, both Alliance and Horde players can obtain and ride this mount.
How to begin the questline
To begin, start in Valdrakken, the capital city of the Dragon Isles.
Alliance
You can pick up the first quest called Summons To Lord Greymane from a Greyguard Elite NPC standing right next to the Stormwind portal in the bottom part of Seat of the Aspects.
You’ll be asked to meet with Genn Greymane at the Stormwind Harbor. After meeting him, you will fly with him to Keel Harbor in the Ruins of Gilneas.
Horde
The first quest, Clandestine Movements, is given by a Deathguard Elite NPC to the left of the Orgrimmar portal in the bottom part of the Seat of the Aspects.
You will be asked to meet Lilian Voss and Calia Menethil in Pyrewood Village in Silverpine Forest. The fastest way to get there is by going through the Orgrimmar portal. After that, take the Undercity portal that is located on the most southern zeppelin tower.
Afterwards, fly south until you reach the designated location in the Silverpine Forest. Speak to Calia inside the Pyrewood Town Hall. You will then meet with Tess Greymane at the coast nearby to travel to the Ruins of Gilneas.
Gilneas Reclamation
As of this point, Alliance and Horde players will have mostly the same experience, besides the ending. Upon reaching Gilneas, both factions will need to complete the quests Aderic’s Retort and A Crusade of Red where you’ll have to kill 10 members of the Scarlet Crusade and one boss mob. They are simple to complete however, the mobs do have high health and can hurt a bit. I say this with 445 ilvl gear in Dragonflight season 3 so if you’re doing the questline at a later time, it’ll probably be much easier!
After that, you’ll pick up the quest Knee-High where you will head into the sewers near Aderic’s Repose. Use your extra action button Swing Torch to clear the spiders and rats and make your way to the end of the tunnel.
Tess Greymane and Lilian Voss will give you quests to kill more Scarlet Crusader mobs as well as stealing explosives from the Scarlet Munitions boxes. These mobs have even more health than the previous ones so use your extra action button Call Lillian often if you need to. Lillian helps by stunning one targeted enemy and causing them to take 20% more damage for 12 seconds.
Next, Tess will give you the quest to open the gates to Gilneas City. Once opened, a short cutscene will play and then you’ll get two more. These two involve planting the explosives you stole and, you guessed it, killing more mobs. This time, they’re elite so they’ll have even more health! But the NPCs in the area will help you if nearby. Also, remember to stun or interrupt the High Priest mobs when they’re casting Heal so they don’t undo your work!
Turn the quests in to Genn Greymane inside the Light’s Dawn Cathedral. Genn, Tess and Calia Menethil will then help you defeat the Scarlet Crusader leader for the second last quest.
Upon leaving the Cathedral, you can speak to Genn to pick up the Beginning A New Dawn quest. You’ll get an optional cutscene and finally receive your Gilnean Prowler mount! You also receive the transmog set Ensemble: Gilnean Noble’s Suit and a toy called Tess’s Peacebloom. The transmog is for everyone. However, the toy is a Gilneas City hearthstone and as such, is only usable for Worgen characters. You may have to relog for the toy to show up in your collection.
For Alliance, you can pick up the final quest from Tess called What We Left Behind. For Horde, the last quest is The Wall Between Us given by Calia Menethil. Completing these optional finale quests are recommended for the Reclamation of Gilneas achievement!
