Guide:How to Unlock the Warclaw Mount

Requirements

As with all mounts, players must own Path of Fire. They will also need to spend one World Ability Point in the Warclaw Mastery, which unlocks the Warclaw Companion Collection and the Warclaw Reward Track.

To purchase all the items you will need 50 WvW Skirmish Claim Ticket, 250 and 8 Gold. The WvW Skirmish Claim Ticket and are both obtained by playing World versus World.

Warclaw Reward Track

Completion of the Warclaw Companion requires completion of the Warclaw Reward Track. You can make progress on this reward track while completing the other elements of the warclaw companion collection. You may also wish to boost your reward track progress with boosters, or from WvW Dailies.

Warclaw Companion

Complete the Warclaw Companion by completing the following tasks in the main WvW maps (not the Edge of the Mists):

Unlocked by spending the first world ability point in the Warclaw Mastery.

Capture a keep. It will be best to look for a commander tag, as capturing a keep without a group is impractical.

Capture a camp. This can easily be done solo, provided you can eliminate the guards and there are no enemy players around.

Capture a tower. A small group should be sufficient to capture a tower if there are no commanders around.

Unlocked by completing the Warclaw Reward Track.

Purchase from the Warclaw Tender for 50 WvW Skirmish Claim Ticket. Note that you can consume the items obtained in this collection for 5 WvW Skirmish Claim Ticket each if you do not have enough.

Purchase from the Warclaw Tender for 250 .

Looted from guards. This should drop without any particular effort (the drop rate appears to be approximately 10%) while completing the other items in the collection, and the reward track.

The three objective-capturing (keep, tower, camp) requirements can be completed somewhat easily by killing an “insurance guard”: killing a guard at any time at an objective will give a player credit for the capture of that objective as long as they are on the map at the moment of capture, even if it is a long while later than the kill.

Once you have completed the Warclaw Companion collection, you will be able to purchase your very own from the Warclaw Tender for 8 Gold!

Warclaw Achievements

With the Warclaw unlocked, many extra achievements can be completed throughout the Mists and Tyria, as well as a Warclaw Skin that can be earned from a reward track.

Fish Out of Water

Enter water while on your warclaw. This achievement can also be completed on any map.

WvW Maps

These achievements must be completed while in WvW maps. Three of these require (or are greatly helped by) higher tiers of Warclaw Mastery.

Always Land on your Feet

Take enough fall damage in a WvW map such that you are dismounted upon landing.

Fatal Fangs

Finish five players with the warclaw’s engage skill in WvW. This will be significantly easier with the fourth rank of Warclaw Mastery. This achievement can be repeated an infinite number of times and will award up to 10 AP for repeats.

Not on the Guest List

Use the warclaw’s Chain Pull skill to deal 100,000 damage to gates in WvW. This requires the sixth rank of Warclaw Mastery.

Officially Uninvited

Same as Not on the Guest List, but infinitely repeatable and will award up to 20 AP for repeats.

Core Tyria Maps

These five achievements are completed in each of the capital cities, and mostly involve standing at a certain location while on the warclaw.

Console Crasher

While mounted on your warclaw, jump on top of the console due south of the Thamaturgic Calculus PoI in Rata Sum.

Is This a Scratching Post?

Head to the Omphalos Chamber in the Grove and use the warclaw’s engage skill on the Avatar of the Tree.

Guildrider Warclaw Skin

To earn the you must first unlock the associated reward track by spending 200 Gold at Cynara, who can be found in all WvW maps apart from the Edge of the Mists. You then complete the reward track in the same manner as any other WvW reward track and receive the skin as the final reward. While it is expensive to unlock, the track rewards are substantial, which will offset much of the cost.

Perfect Fit
