The Harvester's Dredwing is an imposing and gothic flying mount, a creature born from the dark elegance and sanguine magic of Revendreth. This formidable dredwing bat serves as one of Shadowlands most coveted time-gated rewards, tied directly to the Venthyr covenant's military campaign within the desolate Maw. With its distinctive tattered wings and vampiric aesthetic, it offers collectors a strategic challenge that blends preparation with patience, following a predictable bi-weekly schedule.
What sets the Harvester's Dredwing apart is its exclusive connection to the Venthyr Covenant Assault—a rotating world event that demands precise timing. Unlike mounts with purely random spawns, this dredwing's acquisition is calendared, transforming the hunt into a test of scheduling and efficiency. Success requires being ready to mobilize when the Venthyr banner flies over the Maw, making it a rewarding prize for planners and opportunists alike.
To claim the Harvester's Dredwing, you must successfully complete the Venthyr Covenant Assault in the Maw during its active window. Your reward for aiding the Venthyr war effort is the Harvester's War Chest, which holds a 4% chance to contain the mount's saddle.
The journey requires patience and planning. Since covenant assaults rotate on a fixed schedule, you cannot farm the mount continuously. Instead, you must wait for the Venthyr's turn to lead the assault—approximately once every two weeks—and then efficiently complete the event's objectives to earn your weekly chance at the coveted chest.
Before you can hunt the Harvester's Dredwing, you must secure access to the endgame Shadowlands zone where it's found.
Campaign Requirements:
After this, you can access the Maw at any time via the Soul Pillar in the center of the Ring of Transference on Oribos's upper level.
Unlocking Covenant Assaults: To participate in assaults, you must progress further into the 9.1 campaign. Complete Chapter 2 of the Chains of Domination questline, starting with "Maw Walker". Afterwards, Bolvar Fordragon in Korthia will offer the breadcrumb quest "A Unified Effort", which unlocks the covenant assault system.
Covenant assaults are bi-weekly events in the Maw. Only one covenant leads the assault at a time, rotating in a fixed order:
Kyrian → Venthyr → Night Fae → Necrolord → (repeat)
You can check which assault is active by opening your Maw map or by visiting the "Today in WoW" section on Wowhead's front page under the Shadowlands category.
Rotation Schedule:
Important: You need to wait for the Venthyr Covenant Assault to be active to earn the correct War Chest. The assault remains active for approximately 3.5 days before rotating.
When the Venthyr assault is active, follow this efficient route to secure your Harvester's War Chest. The Venthyr assault is unique in its two-phase structure, requiring travel between the Maw and Revendreth.
1. Travel to The Tremaculum:
2. Reach the Command Post: The Sinrunner will carry you to The Tremaculum. You'll be deposited near a giant named Burly Hurly. Interact with him to be thrown up to the Venthyr command post where Prince Renathal awaits.
Prince Renathal Location: /way #1543 29.9 17.1
3. Start the Assault & Complete Initial Quests: Speak with Prince Renathal to formally begin the assault. Four quests will become available from nearby Venthyr leaders including Theotar, Niya, and the Accuser. Pro-Tip: Enable "Trivial Quests" tracking on your minimap if markers don't appear. Complete and turn in all four quests to Renathal, who will have moved under the stairs at /way #1543 27.1 14.0.
4. Activate the Mirror Network (Phase 2): After turning in the quests, speak with General Draven behind Renathal. This begins the unique second phase: you must travel to Revendreth to align four Focusing Prisms that will reflect sunlight through special mirrors onto a powerful Mawsworn creature in the Tremaculum.
5. Align the Four Prisms - Optimal Route: While the game suggests using mirror portals to return to the Maw between each prism, a much faster method exists:
Focusing Prism Coordinates in Revendreth (#1525):
6. Return and Claim Your Reward: After aligning all four prisms, return to the Tremaculum in the Maw via any method (hearthstone, portal, or death). A brief cutscene will play showing the Mawsworn creature being vanquished by focused sunlight. Immediately after, the Harvester's War Chest will appear in your inventory. Open it for your chance at the Harvester's Dredwing mount!
