The Cartel Master's Gearglider is a sleek, mechanical flying mount that embodies the cutting-edge technology and shadowy dealings of the Veiled Market. This steampunk-inspired glider features intricate gear mechanisms, polished brass fittings, and the distinctive aesthetic of the Tazavesh cartels, making it a prized possession for mount collectors and engineering enthusiasts alike.
What makes this mount particularly appealing is its respectable 2% drop rate compared to many other dungeon mounts, combined with the removal of daily lockouts on Heroic difficulty. This transforms the acquisition from a weekly waiting game into an active farming pursuit that rewards persistence and efficient routing.
The Cartel Master's Gearglider mount has a 2% chance to drop from So'leah, the final boss of the megadungeon Tazavesh, the Veiled Market. This mount can be looted from both Heroic and Mythic difficulty.
Heroic dungeons no longer have a daily lockout as of patch 10.2.6, making them the optimal choice for dedicated farming. However, keep in mind that there is still a 10 instance per hour limit that applies across all characters on your account.
To unlock access to Tazavesh, you'll need to be level 60 or above and ideally have completed the Shadowlands intro up to the part where you choose a covenant. After this, you'll need to complete a small questline in Oribos.
The first quest, The Al'ley Cat of Oribos, can be picked up from the innkeeper Host Ta'rela in the Idyllia section of Oribos.

There will be about 7 quests to complete after the initial one. The final quest you need to complete is The Veiled Market, which will take you to Tazavesh for the first time.
Once completed, the flightpath to Tazavesh should be unlocked for all your alts, making it easy to farm the mount across multiple characters without repeating the questline.
The primary way to reach Tazavesh is by taking a flightpath from Oribos. Head up to the Flight Master Pathscribe Roh-Avonavi on the second floor of Oribos. You should be able to select the flightpath to Tazavesh if you've completed the unlock questline.
The flightpath provides direct access to the entrance of Tazavesh, making repeated runs convenient once you've established the route.
