Swift Gloomhoof - Mount - Dreamshrine Basin - Ardenweald
Overview:
The goal is to loot the Swift Gloomhoof mount from an elite rare called Night Mare located in Dreamshrine Basin in Ardenweald.
Background:
To be able to see Night Mare a few steps need to be taken to assemble the Dreamcatcher. Matjz on wowhead has put together an excellent guide on how to assemble the Dreamcatcher.
Personal Notes:
Part 1: Finding the Broken Soulweb in Thirna Scithe will find you dodging elites for this item. As a demon hunter in the Venthyr covenant I had a huge advantage going into this challenge as the Soulweb is located on the top of a flattened cliff if you will.
I stood facing where the treasure was shown on the mini map. After trying to approach from the front and trying to find branches others had mentioned I quickly scrapped that idea.
Facing the trees and to the right I saw an opening in the rocks. There were two elites right underneath it. I used Door of Shadows to get on the ledge above them. Then to the right I used my double jump to climb up the backside of the rocks to make my way to the top of the platform.
When you get to the top you will see a cart and the item you need is underneath the seat on the ground. I thought it was hard to see so it took me a few seconds to locate it. It looks like a small branch.
Part 2: Elder Gwenna needs to repair the Broken Soulweb for you. If you’ve done all your main Ardenweald quest lines she should be where she needs to be to do the repair. If she isn’t located at the supplied coordinates you may need to finish quest lines before you can continue with this. The full guide was provided by Matjz on wowhead.
Part 3: You need Ysera (so glad she made an appearance in this expansion!) to turn your item into the Dreamcatcher. Even if you are not in the Night Fae covenant walk to entrance of the Heart of the Forest. There are two guards standing out front who will allow you to talk to Ysera and she will enchant the Soulweb for you.
Note: Others have mentioned this on wowhead but I too fell victim to talking to Ysera while mounted and thus my item was not enchanted by her. I quickly realized my error and logged out / back in and talked to the guard again and was able to receive the Dreamcatcher successfully.
Note: I would absolutely keep the Dreamcatcher in your bags ever after this encounter. You never know if it’s used for other adventures as we are still uncovering things about the expansion.
Part 4: With your Dreamcatcher you are now able to go to the Dreamshine Basin. The Dreamcatcher will phase shift you for 5 minutes at a time so make sure to keep your Dreamcatcher buff active! You will need to wait for Night Mare to spawn. The first time I did this Night Mare was there immediately but when I realized I needed help we waited another 15-20 minutes to see her again.
The Encounter:
Night Mare is a level 62 elite with 400k health. I would not recommend attempting a solo. At 180 ilevel I can clear 200k solos so I knew I should enlist some help. Luckily I was able to find a hunter and mage who needed Night Mare as well. We had no problem downing the elite together. There is a close range attack that i just flew in and out of but nothing too extreme in my opinion. We all gleefully looted the mount as seen in the screenshot.
