The Vivid Chloroceros is one of the unique collectible mounts introduced in the Midnight expansion. Unlike dungeon or raid mounts that depend on RNG drops, this mount is obtained through exploration and collection mechanics inside the Harandar zone.
The mount is purchased using a special currency called Luminous Dust, which is obtained by collecting hidden treasures known as Glowing Moths. These small glowing creatures are scattered throughout the Harandar wilderness and act as mini-treasures that reward players with currency for unique cosmetics and mounts.
While the collection process itself is not mechanically difficult, the challenge lies in locating dozens of hidden objects across the zone and unlocking additional spawn groups through the Hara’ti Renown progression system.
To obtain the Vivid Chloroceros mount you must collect at least 50 Glowing Moth in the Harandar zone. Each moth rewards 1 Luminous Dust, which acts as the currency used to purchase the mount from the vendor.
Once you collect enough Luminous Dust, you can buy the mount from Mothkeeper Wew’tam, located in The Den in Harandar.
Glowing Moth function as hidden collectible treasures scattered throughout the Harandar zone. Each one provides 1 Luminous Dust when collected.
There are 120 Glowing Moths in total, but they are split into three groups that unlock progressively as you increase your reputation with the Hara’ti faction.
To easily track your collection progress, you can open the Dust 'Em Off achievement and see how much Glowing Moth you've collected so far.
Once you reach Hara’ti Renown 9, all groups of Glowing Moths become available in the Harandar zone. At this point, collecting them becomes significantly easier because you can search for every moth location in a single exploration route instead of returning to the zone multiple times as your renown increases.
The most effective way to locate the moths is by using the addon HandyNotes together with the expansion module HandyNotes: Midnight. This combination automatically marks every known Glowing Moth spawn location on your world map and minimap, allowing you to follow an optimized route through the zone.
Without these addons, players often spend a lot of time searching cliffs, caves, and hidden paths across Harandar. With HandyNotes, you can simply follow the marked locations and collect the moths one by one, dramatically reducing the time required to complete the achievement and obtain the Vivid Chloroceros.

If you decide to begin collecting moths before reaching Renown 9, the addon is still useful. HandyNotes will indicate which Glowing Moth locations are currently available based on your renown level, helping you avoid searching areas where the collectibles have not yet unlocked.
By combining renown progression with addon-guided exploration, most players can gather all required moths in a single organized farming session, making the journey toward the Vivid Chloroceros much faster and more efficient.
Since moth spawns are gated by Hara’ti Renown, reaching higher reputation levels significantly speeds up the mount farming process.
The most efficient renown farming route usually includes:
You can track your current Renown level through the Journeys menu (Shift + J) under the Midnight expansion tab.
Once you have collected enough 50 Glowing Moths, visit the mount vendor Mothkeeper Wew'tam located inside the cave called The Den in central Harandar.
This vendor sells multiple cosmetic rewards obtained through moth collection, including weapons, decorations, and mounts.
The Vivid Chloroceros mount costs 10 Luminous Dust, but becomes available only after reaching the required 50 of collected moths.

Since collecting moths involves exploring a large zone and locating hidden objects, several addons can significantly simplify the process.
The combination of HandyNotes + TomTom is considered the most efficient setup for completing moth routes without missing hidden collectibles.
