Black Qiraji Battle Tank
Although many varieties of Qiraji Battle Tank can still be found in the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj today, the darkest of the species were only seen on the day the Scarab gong was rung.
🎯 How to get it
The Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal teaches the Black Qiraji Battle Tank, a silithid reaver mount. This item was a quest reward from Bang a Gong!, which required using the Scepter of the Shifting Sands on the Scarab Gong during the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj event. After the first time the gong was rung on a realm, a 10-hour battle with the silithid would ensue, during which other players who had the scepter could also ring the gong and receive a Black Qiraji Battle Tank. Once the battle ended, no one else on that realm could get the mount.
Why moderate? Farmable drop — weekly lockouts help.
