Final Thoughts and Recommendations
With Season 1 coming to a close, now is the time to focus on key feats. Certain achievements, such as The War Within Season 1: Spelunker Supreme and Web-Wrapped in the Finest Silks, require a strategic focus. Completing these before Season 2 launches will ensure that you don’t miss out on exclusive rewards.
One of the most sought-after achievements, Ahead of the Curve: Queen Ansurek, requires players to defeat Queen Ansurek on Heroic difficulty before Season 2 begins. While it doesn’t grant a tangible reward, it is a significant credential often required by raid leaders.
The Cutting Edge: Queen Ansurek achievement is a prestigious milestone that involves defeating Queen Ansurek on Mythic difficulty. This feat is not only a badge of honor but also a key milestone for elite players. The reward for this achievement includes the Luminous Nerubian Catalyst Stone.
The Reins of the Sureki Skyrazor mount drops from Queen Ansurek on any difficulty.
The Reins of the Ascendant Skyrazor is significantly rarer, obtainable only on Mythic difficulty.
Currently, three Reins of the Ascendant Skyrazo mounts drop per Mythic kill for players who haven’t obtained it yet. Once Season 2 starts, this guaranteed drop rate will be removed, making the mount exceedingly rare.
Act fast to secure these highly desirable mounts before they become much harder to obtain!
Mythic+ dungeons remain one of the most challenging and rewarding endgame activities. To achieve The War Within Keystone Master: Season One, players must reach a Mythic+ rating of 2000 by completing high-level dungeons within the time limit.
Rewards include:
Diamond Mechsuit Mount

The very pinnacle of skill is earning the Tempered Hero: The War Within Season 1 achievement in Mythic+ dungeons. For this achievement you need to earn about 3400+ rankings in Mythic+ dungeons and be among the 0.1% of all players in the world with Mythic rankings. This achievement requires you to spend a lot of time practicing dungeons. To earn this achievement you need to cover about 17 and above timed dungeons.
The Vicious Skyflayer is the primary PvP mount for Season 1. Once earned, players also unlock the Vicious Skyflayer, allowing them to purchase legacy PvP mounts from previous seasons.
