Elder Glowmite is a collectible mount introduced in the Midnight expansion. Unlike traditional dungeon or raid mounts that rely on random drops, this mount is earned through exploration and treasure hunting in the Harandar zone.
The mount is connected to the hidden collectible system involving Glowing Moths. These glowing creatures are scattered across Harandar and reward players with Luminous Dust, a currency used to purchase cosmetic rewards and mounts from a special vendor.
While one of the mounts from this system requires collecting only part of the moths, the Elder Glowmite represents the ultimate reward — you must locate all 120 Glowing Moths in the zone to unlock it.
To obtain the Elder Glowmite mount you must collect all 120 Glowing Moths hidden across the Harandar zone.
Each moth grants 1 Luminous Dust, which is used as currency for special vendor rewards.
After collecting all moths and accumulating enough currency, you can purchase the mount from Mothkeeper Wew’tam in The Den located in central Harandar.
Glowing Moths are hidden collectibles scattered throughout the Harandar wilderness. Each one grants 1 Luminous Dust when interacted with.
There are 120 Glowing Moths in total. Unlike the mount Vivid Chloroceros, which only requires part of the collection, unlocking Elder Glowmite demands that players locate every single moth in the zone.
The moths are divided into three groups that unlock gradually through Hara’ti Renown.
You can track your collection progress through the Dust 'Em Off achievement which displays how many moths you have already discovered.
After reaching Hara’ti Renown 9, all Glowing Moth locations become accessible, allowing players to complete the full collection route in a single exploration session.
The most reliable way to locate them is by installing the addon HandyNotes together with the plugin HandyNotes: Midnight. These addons display every known Glowing Moth spawn point directly on your map and minimap.
Because many moths are hidden on cliffs, inside caves, or behind terrain features, addon assistance greatly reduces the time required to find them.

Because moth spawn groups are tied to Hara’ti Renown, increasing your reputation significantly improves the efficiency of the hunt.
Your current Renown level can be checked in the Journeys menu (Shift + J) under the Midnight expansion tab.
After collecting all 120 Glowing Moths, visit Mothkeeper Wew'tam located in The Den in central Harandar.
The Elder Glowmite mount costs 10 Luminous Dust once the full collection requirement is completed.
Mothkeeper Wew'tam is located at coordinates /way 49.28 54.35.
Since this mount requires exploring the entire Harandar zone and locating every Glowing Moth, several addons can make the process significantly easier.
The combination of HandyNotes and TomTom allows most players to complete the full Glowing Moth route in one organized exploration run.
