The Prowling Shredclaw is a calculated void-bred predator introduced in Midnight. While it shares the same brutal lineage as other Shredclaw variants, this version leans more toward controlled lethality than raw frenzy. Its armor plating appears tighter and more refined, the void energy beneath its scales pulses in steady waves rather than explosive bursts, and its stance reflects a stalking hunter rather than an enraged beast. The mount feels purpose-built for disciplined dominance inside Slayer’s Rise.
This mount holds particular value for players who enjoy structured faction progression and competitive zone content. Earning it requires consistency, efficient routing, and active participation inside Voidstorm. Although the reward is fully guaranteed and not tied to RNG mechanics, reaching the required reputation tier still demands commitment and optimized activity management — especially for players aiming to secure it early in the expansion cycle. Prowling Shredclaw stands as a visible sign of dedication to the Slayer’s Duellum faction and long-term engagement with its high-pressure PvP ecosystem.
To obtain Prowling Shredclaw, you must reach Exalted reputation with the Slayer’s Duellum faction in Midnight. This faction operates from Slayer’s Rise, a PvP-driven sub-zone situated within Voidstorm. Unlike RNG-based mounts, this one follows a clearly structured progression system — you steadily advance your reputation through zone activities until reaching Exalted, after which the mount becomes available for direct purchase.
After achieving Exalted, the mount can be purchased from Thraxadar, the Slayer’s Duellum quartermaster. In addition to the reputation requirement, you must collect 6000 Voidlight Marl. This zone currency is obtained through activities across Voidstorm such as world quests, rare kills, treasure looting, weekly objectives, War Mode engagements, and event participation. In most cases, players accumulate a substantial amount of Marl naturally while working toward Exalted reputation.
Reputation gains are tied to a combination of daily quests, weekly objectives, supply drops, open-world PvP encounters, and special Slayer’s Rise events. Enabling War Mode significantly increases efficiency by unlocking additional objectives and rewards, though it is not strictly mandatory. The progression is deterministic — once both requirements are fulfilled, Prowling Shredclaw is guaranteed and can be purchased immediately, rewarding persistence and systematic zone participation rather than luck.
Before you can begin farming reputation to unlock Prowling Shredclaw, you must first gain access to the Voidstorm zone. Voidstorm is not available by default and is tied to a short introductory quest chain that unlocks the region for exploration and faction activity.
To initiate the unlock, travel to Silvermoon City and speak with Magister Umbric. He offers the quest No Fear of the Dark, which serves as the narrative entry point into Voidstorm content.
Completing the first stage of this questline unlocks Voidstorm permanently for that character. Once unlocked, you gain full access to Slayer’s Rise and all reputation-related activities tied to the mount progression.
Each week, you can complete a primary Slayer’s Rise assignment that grants 1000 reputation. This reward is limited to one character per reset, so it is strongly recommended to prioritize your main character for this objective.
This is the largest fixed reputation source available — skipping it significantly slows down your overall progress toward Exalted.
You can pick up the weekly objective from Deminos Darktrance

Voidstorm consistently features world quests that award approximately 450 reputation each with the Slayer’s Duellum faction.
These quests can be completed across multiple characters, making them one of the safest, most stable, and PvE-friendly farming methods available for progressing toward Exalted.
When War Mode is enabled, additional PvP-oriented quests unlock within Slayer’s Rise. These objectives offer faster progression and more dynamic engagement compared to standard world quests.
War Mode can be toggled directly within Slayer’s Rise without returning to your capital city. Completing these additional quests substantially accelerates your reputation progression compared to purely PvE routing.
While operating in War Mode, War Supply Crates periodically spawn throughout Slayer’s Rise.
Each crate awards 300 reputation upon successful loot. There is no strict weekly cap associated with these crates, making them one of the fastest repeatable methods for pushing reputation forward.
Throughout Voidstorm, players can discover small treasure objects that drop Void-Tainted Remains.
Once you collect 50 Remains, they can be turned in for 100 reputation.

Quest
Void-Tainted Remains
This turn-in method has no strict limitation and becomes especially efficient during specific zone-wide events such as:
During Void Scavenge events, treasures may drop up to 10 Void-Tainted Remains at once, dramatically improving farming efficiency.
It is important to understand that this reputation turn-in is effectively unlimited. There is no weekly cap tied to Void-Tainted Remains specifically, meaning you can theoretically reach Exalted entirely through this method if you are willing to invest the time.
This makes Void-Tainted Remains one of the most reliable fallback progression options. Even if you miss weekly quests or prefer avoiding PvP-heavy content, you can continue progressing steadily through treasure collection alone. While slower than optimized War Mode rotations, it guarantees consistent forward movement.
Slayer’s Rise regularly rotates mini-events that provide repeatable reputation gains. These events are not gated by weekly resets and can be integrated seamlessly into your farming loop.
For maximum efficiency, structure your farming routine around both time-gated and repeatable objectives.
Combining War Mode objectives, crates, and Remains farming significantly accelerates progression compared to relying exclusively on world quests.
In addition to reputation, you must accumulate 6000 Voidlight Marl to purchase Prowling Shredclaw.
Voidlight Marl is obtained from:
By the time you reach Exalted reputation, you will typically have earned most — if not all — of the required Marl naturally.
After reaching Exalted with Slayer’s Duellum and gathering the necessary 6000 Voidlight Marl, the final step is straightforward — visit the quartermaster and purchase your mount.
The quartermaster is Thraxadar, located at the northern end of Master’s Perch.

Once there, open his vendor inventory and purchase Prowling Shredclaw. Thraxadar also offers additional cosmetic rewards tied to Slayer’s Duellum, making it worthwhile to review his full inventory.
At Renown 2 with The Singularity, you unlock access to a Research Console that grants Voidlust.
This buff provides:
This significantly improves farming speed, particularly during War Mode crate engagements and contested objectives. The buff can be obtained from Void Researcher Anomander.
While progressing toward Prowling Shredclaw primarily revolves around reputation and zone participation, the right addon setup substantially increases efficiency, awareness, and routing precision in Midnight.
The most efficient combination is TomTom paired with World Quest Tracker, ensuring you always move directly toward the highest-value objectives.
