Voldunai Dunescraper Mount Guide

The Voldunai Dunescraper is a brightly coloured, swift flying raptor that perfectly embodies the resourceful, desert‑dwelling spirit of the Vulpera. Its vibrant scales, sharp claws, and alert eyes speak of a creature rarely captured in the wild — as the flavour text explains: “These brightly-colored fliers are rarely captured in the wild due to their naturally untrusting natures.” For Horde collectors who favour exotic, beast‑like flying mounts with a unique cultural backstory, this dunescraper is a true trophy of loyalty to the Voldunai.

Added in patch 8.0.1 “Battle for Azeroth”, the Voldunai Dunescraper is not a random drop or a rare spawn — it is a guaranteed reward for reaching Exalted reputation with the Voldunai, the Vulpera faction of Vol’dun. The journey to Exalted requires dedication — completing the zone’s storyline, world quests, emissaries, and optional reputation bonuses — but the outcome is certain. Once you reach Exalted, you can purchase this magnificent raptor from a vendor for a substantial gold cost, making it a prestigious addition to any Horde mount collection.

How to Get Voldunai Dunescraper

The Voldunai Dunescraper is purchased from Hoarder Jena in the Vulpera Hideaway in Vol’dun after reaching Exalted reputation with the Voldunai. The base cost is 90,000 gold, but this is reduced based on your reputation level — at Exalted, the price drops to 72,000 gold.

Unlike rare drop mounts, this one is 100% guaranteed once you meet the requirements, making it a reliable goal for dedicated Horde players. The Voldunai reputation is earned primarily through world quests, emissaries, and the zone’s storyline — a consistent grind that rewards patience and daily commitment.

Unlocking World Quests – The First Step

Getting Exalted with the Voldunai is primarily achieved through World Quests. These are unlocked at level 50 and currently require you to have completed Uniting Zandalar, which requires reaching Friendly reputation with the Zandalari Empire, Talanji's Expedition, and the Voldunai themselves.

Starting out, it is best to run through the main story questline of the Vol’dun zone. This can be initiated from the Scouting Map in The Great Seal in Dazar’alor. As you progress through the zone, you will also find side quests that provide reputation. The main storyline alone will get you to Friendly or Honored, providing a solid foundation for the rest of the grind.

World Quests – Your Daily Reputation Source

World quests within Vol’dun award reputation towards the Voldunai. Each world quest typically grants 75 reputation, and they expire and are replaced by new ones throughout the day. Some world quests may award more (up to 150 reputation for elite or dungeon quests), so always check your map for available opportunities.

Additionally, a Faction Assault can occasionally appear within Vol’dun. These assaults provide additional world quests and a conclusion quest that award reputation. When an assault is active, prioritise completing it — it is a limited‑time source of bonus reputation.

Emissaries – The Biggest Daily Boost

Emissaries appear in the lower corner of your world map and represent one of the Battle for Azeroth factions. Each Emissary lasts for 3 days, meaning you can have up to 3 Emissaries available at once. Completing 4 World Quests related to the Emissary faction will complete the Emissary, and you can then hand it in for 1,500 reputation with that specific faction.

When the Voldunai Emissary appears (usually once every 7–10 days), make sure to complete it. This is the single largest source of reputation for the Voldunai outside of the initial questline.

Alternative Sources of Voldunai Reputation

Beyond world quests and emissaries, there are several alternative methods to earn Voldunai reputation. While slower, they can supplement your daily grind.

• Contracts – Passive Reputation: Contract: Voldunai is crafted by Scribes and can be purchased from the Auction House. You can have one contract active at a time. A contract gives you a bonus 10 reputation for each Battle for Azeroth World Quest you complete, regardless of the zone or faction. Over a week of regular world quests, this adds up significantly.
• Mission Table: At your faction’s ship in the Port of Dazar’alor, you will find your Mission Table. Missions rotate randomly and can occasionally provide missions that award reputation tokens for Battle for Azeroth factions, including the Voldunai. Check your mission table daily and prioritise reputation missions when they appear.
• Island Expeditions – Shimmering Shell: Completing Island Expeditions (available in the Port of Dazar’alor) gives you a low chance of receiving a Shimmering Shell, which can be turned in for 250 reputation and is repeatable. You can also purchase these shells for 100 Seafarer's Dubloon from the nearby vendor. This method is expensive in terms of doubloons but useful if you have a surplus.

Reputation Gains – Buffs and Bonuses

As there are limited ways to earn reputation each day, it is essential to take advantage of reputation buffs whenever possible. Below are the most effective bonuses:

• Darkmoon Faire: The Darkmoon Faire is in town starting on the first Sunday of every month. You can ride the rollercoaster or carousel to gain the WHEE! buff, which increases reputation (and experience) gains by 10% for 60 minutes. You can also buy a Darkmoon Top Hat for 10 Darkmoon Prize Tickets to apply this buff without travelling to the Faire.
• Human Racial Trait: Human characters have the Diplomacy racial, which increases all reputation gains by 10%. While the Voldunai are Horde‑only, Human characters cannot directly farm this reputation. However, reputation is account‑wide, so if you have a Human alt that can earn Voldunai reputation (via contracts or mission table tokens), the bonus applies.
• Timewalking Events – Sign of Azeroth: While the Battle for Azeroth Timewalking Event is active, you will gain the Sign of Azeroth buff, granting 50% bonus reputation from quests and creature kills. This is the most powerful reputation buff available and can dramatically shorten your grind. Plan your reputation farming around these events when possible.

Pro tip: Stack multiple buffs when possible. For example, a Horde character during BFA Timewalking with the Darkmoon Faire buff active will earn reputation at an accelerated rate, saving you days of grinding. Save your Emissary turn‑ins and bulk world quest completions for these windows.

Purchasing the Mount – Vendor Location and Cost

Once you have reached Exalted reputation with the Voldunai, travel to the Vulpera Hideaway in Vol’dun and find Hoarder Jena. She is located in the central area of the hideaway, near the campfire and other vendors. Use the following coordinates:

The Voldunai Dunescraper costs 90,000 gold at Neutral reputation, but the price decreases as your reputation improves. At Exalted, the final cost is 72,000 gold. The mount is bind‑on‑pickup when purchased, and once learned, it is added to your account‑wide collection.

Extra Tips & Common Mistakes

• Don’t skip the storyline: The main Vol’dun questline rewards thousands of reputation. Completing it should be your first priority before focusing on world quests.
• Use a contract early: The Contract: Voldunai is relatively cheap on the Auction House and provides passive reputation while you do any world quests in Kul Tiras or Zandalar. Over a week, this adds up to hundreds of extra reputation.
• Check mission tables daily: Reputation missions appear randomly. Even if you are not actively playing alts, logging in to send followers on reputation missions takes only a minute and provides free reputation.
• Save Emissary turn‑ins for reputation buffs: If you complete the 4 world quests for the Voldunai Emissary but do not turn it in immediately, you can wait for a reputation buff event (like BFA Timewalking or Darkmoon Faire) to increase the reward. The bonus applies at turn‑in, not at completion.
• Don’t ignore Island Expeditions: While the drop rate for Shimmering Shells is low, they are a repeatable source of reputation. If you enjoy Island Expeditions, this is a nice bonus.
• Be patient: Reaching Exalted takes several weeks of consistent world quests. Set a daily routine (10–15 minutes) and stick to it. The mount is guaranteed, so every day brings you closer.

Essential Addons for Reputation Farming

Farming a reputation to Exalted is a marathon, not a sprint. The right addons can help you track your progress, optimise your daily routine, and ensure you never miss an Emissary or world quest.

• World Quest Tracker: Shows all available world quests on a single panel. Helps you quickly see which Voldunai world quests are up without opening the map.
• HandyNotes – Battle for Azeroth (plugin): Displays world quest locations, rare spawns, and treasure chests on your map. Essential for efficiently completing world quests.
• TomTom / Paste: Quickly set waypoints to world quest locations, rare mobs, and vendor coordinates.
• SavedInstances: Tracks which characters have completed which Emissaries and world quests. Useful if you are farming reputation on multiple alts.
• Rarity (optional): While not directly related to reputation, Rarity can track the mount once you purchase it — a nice way to mark your achievement.
• Leatrix Plus: Quality‑of‑life improvements like auto‑repair, auto‑sell junk, and faster interactions — small time savers that add up over a long reputation grind.

Pro tip: Use World Quest Tracker to filter only Voldunai world quests. This saves time and ensures you never miss a daily reputation opportunity.
