The Moonlit Nightsaber is one of the cleanest and most visually appealing Timewalking mounts added for collectors who enjoy classic kaldorei-style sabers with a darker, more refined finish. Its pale fur, glowing eyes, and silvery night-themed palette make it feel elegant without becoming overdecorated, which is exactly why it stands out among many newer event mounts. For players who prefer sleek fantasy designs over oversized armored beasts or stitched horrors, this is one of the strongest vendor rewards in the Battle for Azeroth Timewalking lineup.
What makes the Moonlit Nightsaber especially attractive is the fact that the acquisition path is fully deterministic. There is no random drop chance, no legacy raid lockout to repeat, and no need to hope that a specific boss finally gives you the reward. Once you gather enough Timewarped Badges, the mount is guaranteed. The only real condition is timing, because it can only be purchased while Battle for Azeroth Timewalking is active.
The Moonlit Nightsaber can be purchased from Churbro during Battle for Azeroth Timewalking for 5000 Timewarped Badges. The vendor appears in Boralus for Alliance and Dazar'alor for Horde, so the mount is tied both to the event being active and to you actually reaching the correct faction hub during that week.
That makes this mount much more about efficient planning than luck. You are not farming a rare drop from a dungeon boss or trying to squeeze extra attempts out of weekly resets. Instead, the goal is straightforward: convert the event week into as many badges as possible, then trade those badges for a guaranteed reward. If approached correctly, this is one of the cleaner and more manageable Timewalking mount grinds.
The Timewalking hub for Battle for Azeroth is located in your faction’s main BFA capital. Churbro, the Battle for Azeroth Timewalking vendor and quest NPC, appears in Boralus for Alliance players and in Dazar'alor for Horde. Blizzard’s event overview specifically notes that the new BFA vendor is found in the harbors of these two cities.
The fastest way to reach these hubs is to use the appropriate portal from your faction capital. Once you arrive, head to Churbro using the coordinates below. Since this vendor was introduced for the Battle for Azeroth Timewalking reward update, many players still do not know the exact location on first visit, so waypointing it in advance saves unnecessary running around the city.

For the Moonlit Nightsaber, Timewarped Badges are not just part of the route - they are the entire gate. Since the mount costs 5000, the grind becomes very different depending on whether you already have badges saved from earlier events. If you do, this can be a quick vendor purchase. If you do not, then the week becomes an efficiency challenge, where the smartest order of activities matters far more than simply running random dungeons until the number climbs.
The foundation of the farm is the Battle for Azeroth Timewalking dungeon queue. These dungeons are repeatable for the full duration of the event, they provide badges from both bosses and completion, and they remain the most dependable source of long-term progress even after the easy one-time rewards are gone. Once the large weekly payouts have been collected, repeated dungeon clears are what finish the job.
The current Battle for Azeroth Timewalking dungeon pool includes the following instances, with the usual amount of Timewarped Badges you can expect from each clear:
The first Timewalking dungeon you complete during the active week also drops Remnant of Azeroth or Remnant of Azeroth, with Alliance and Horde versions of the same quest item. You turn it in to Churbro for a large badge reward. Reliable community documentation and player confirmation indicate that the first account-wide completion gives 500 Timewarped Badges, while later first-dungeon completions on additional characters give 200, not another full 500.
That opening turn-in is one of the most important badge spikes in the entire event. If your goal is to buy the Moonlit Nightsaber during the same BFA rotation, this is one of the first things you should secure. Delaying it only makes the rest of the grind feel slower than it actually is.
There is also a broader Timewalking principle worth using to your advantage: some Timewalking rotations include raid quests that pay out much more than a single dungeon run. Across the full system, the most recognizable examples are:
Each of these comes with a major completion quest such as Disturbance Detected: Firelands, and the first clear awards a large badge payout. Even though those raids belong to other Timewalking rotations, they still matter for long-term planning because many players build a badge reserve over several events and then spend it when the mount they want becomes available.
In most cases, these raid quests care only about killing the final boss rather than doing a full traditional clear. Because of that, many players prefer to search Group Finder for skip runs, partial clears, or end-boss groups instead of committing to the whole raid route every time.
A completed Timewalking raid also gives a special reward item that can be turned in for 500 Timewarped Badges after the final boss dies. To qualify for that item, your character must be at least level 30.
After the first raid turn-in during the active event, later turn-ins on the same cycle award only 300 Timewarped Badges for subsequent completions on other characters. That sharp drop in value is why the first completion should always be treated as the priority whenever raid-based Timewalking rewards are available.
These caches can also include extra expansion-themed rewards. During Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking, for example, players can receive Invincible as a bonus reward from the associated cache. So even if your current focus is only the Moonlit Nightsaber, broader Timewalking participation can still pay off well over time.
If the Moonlit Nightsaber is your main goal, the best route is to secure every high-value one-time reward first and only then settle into repeated dungeon farming.
Players who already maintain a healthy badge reserve from earlier Timewalking cycles may be able to buy this mount almost immediately once Battle for Azeroth Timewalking begins. Players starting with very little currency, however, will feel the grind much more clearly, so efficient routing matters right from the first run.
It is also important to remember that badges alone are not enough. You still need to visit Churbro while Battle for Azeroth Timewalking is active. If you miss that event window, you will need to wait for the next BFA rotation before you can buy the mount.
Because the Moonlit Nightsaber is purchased directly from a vendor instead of being tied to RNG, this grind is much more predictable than a traditional mount farm. That removes the frustration of bad luck, but it also means poor planning shows up immediately as wasted time.
Another practical detail is that Churbro sells more than one collector-focused BFA reward. If you already know you want additional mounts, toys, or cosmetics from the same event, it often makes more sense to plan for a larger badge total rather than farming only enough for a single purchase.
Since this mount is tied to repeated dungeon clears, route efficiency, and account-wide reward tracking, a few lightweight addons can make the entire process much easier to manage.
For players spreading the grind across several characters, SavedInstances is especially useful because it lets you quickly see which alts have already claimed their key event rewards and which ones can still provide extra badge progress.
