Ancient Salamanther
Due to their preference for dark caves and murky waters, sightings of this unique breed of salamanther are so rare that many researchers thought they had gone extinct.
🎯 How to get it
The Ancient Salamanther has a low chance to drop from the rare mobs of the Forbidden Reach.
Why moderate? Farmable drop — weekly lockouts help.
🗺 Step-by-step route
📍 Forbidden Reach
- Start at the Orgrimmar Portal Room (Valley of Strength, below Grommash Hold).
- No direct portal — take the closest hub portal, then fly with the in-game map (open map with M, flight master whistle in new zones).
- Farm at Forbidden Reach — The Ancient Salamanther has a low chance to drop from the rare mobs of the Forbidden Reach. Mount Journal Due to their preference for dark caves and murky waters, sightings of this unique breed of salamanther are so rare
- Set difficulty as required (some drops need Heroic/Mythic), clear to the boss, loot. Lockouts reset weekly — park alts at the entrance and repeat every week. Bonus events (e.g. Timewalking, holiday buffs) do not change old-raid drop rates.
