The Yellow Marsh Hopper, Blue Marsh Hopper, and Green Marsh Hopper are three of the most unusual gold vendor mounts added in Battle for Azeroth. What makes them stand out is not a rare drop, a difficult reputation grind, or some hidden puzzle chain, but their role as a pure high-cost purchase. These mounts are straightforward to obtain mechanically, yet still memorable because Blizzard turned them into a very deliberate gold sink.
Visually, all three Marsh Hoppers fit perfectly into the swampy atmosphere of Nazmir. They share the same oversized frog-like model, but each color variant has its own look and collector appeal. The Yellow Marsh Hopper is the brightest and most eye-catching of the three, the Blue Marsh Hopper has a cooler and slightly rarer-looking tone, and the Green Marsh Hopper feels the most natural and zone-fitting of the set. For players who enjoy unusual creature mounts and vendor exclusives, this trio is still one of the more recognizable BfA gold purchases.
The acquisition method is identical for all three mounts. They are all sold by the same hidden vendor in Nazmir, and each one costs 333,333 gold. There are no reputation requirements, no quest chain locks, and no weekly restrictions. The only real barriers are knowing where the vendor is and having enough gold ready when you get there.
To obtain the Yellow Marsh Hopper, you need to purchase it from Gottum, a hidden vendor located in a cave in Nazmir. The price is fixed at 333,333 gold, and there are no extra unlock conditions tied to this mount.
That makes the Yellow variant the easiest of the three to understand mechanically. There is no separate puzzle, no hidden item requirement, and no faction standing involved. Once you reach Gottum with enough gold, the mount can be bought immediately.
The Blue Marsh Hopper is obtained in exactly the same way as the Yellow version. It is sold by Gottum in the same hidden cave in Nazmir, and it costs the same fixed amount of 333,333 gold. There are no reputation requirements, no event windows, and no quest progression tied to the purchase.
In practical terms, the Blue Marsh Hopper is just another color option from the same vendor set. So if you are already making the trip to Gottum and have enough gold available, you can buy this one during the same visit without doing anything differently.
The Green Marsh Hopper follows the same exact acquisition path as the other two Marsh Hoppers. It is sold by Gottum in Nazmir and costs 333,333 gold. You do not need to unlock the vendor through quests or faction progress - the only real requirement is the gold itself.
Since all three mounts share the same hidden seller and the same cost, the Green Marsh Hopper is best thought of as part of a full three-mount vendor package. Players who like finishing color sets will usually want to plan for all three at once rather than treating this as a separate long-term purchase.
To find Gottum, head to the western side of Nazmir, near the area around Krag'wa's Burrow. The entrance to his cave is easy to miss because it does not look like a large obvious cavern opening. Instead, it appears more like a narrow crack or slit in the terrain leading downward.
Use the following waypoint for the cave entrance:
Once inside, follow the path down until you reach Gottum. He sells all three Marsh Hopper mounts, which means this one hidden vendor is the only NPC you need for the full set.

After reaching him, simply interact with the vendor and purchase whichever Marsh Hopper colors you want. If your goal is the complete set, you can buy all three in a single visit as long as you bring enough gold.
Since the method is identical and the vendor sells the full collection at once, many players end up deciding whether to buy a single favorite color or commit to the entire Marsh Hopper trio. This mainly comes down to your available gold and whether you care more about collection completeness or just the mount appearance you personally like most.
If you are already visiting Gottum with enough gold, buying all three at once is the most efficient way to finish the set and avoid a second trip later. The total cost for the full group is 999,999 gold, so this becomes a much more serious gold sink if you want every variant.
Since the only real requirement for these mounts is gold, optimizing your gold income is the key factor in obtaining them efficiently. Unlike many other mounts, there is no point spending time on reputation, rares, or world progression here - the entire challenge is financial.
If your goal is just one Marsh Hopper, most players can reach the amount without changing their entire playstyle. If your goal is the full set, however, the difference between 333,333 gold and 999,999 gold is significant enough that planning your gold-making route becomes much more important.
Since these mounts are bought rather than farmed, addons are not strictly required. However, if you are working toward the gold cost or want to reach Gottum more efficiently, a few tools are still worth using.
If you are buying only one mount, navigation tools like TomTom and Leatrix Maps are usually enough. If you are actively farming the gold for all three, then TradeSkillMaster or Auctionator become much more valuable.
