This week on live servers, your odds at scoring Ashes of Al’ar mount are higher than usual thanks to Burning Crusade Timewalking.
Where to Begin?
From your faction’s portal room, take the portal to Shattrah City and find Vormu, who will offer the Black Temple Timewalking quest.

Once accepted, you’re ready to head straight for the final boss, without running the full raid, well, unless you really need the gear.
Skip the Bosses, Go Straight to Illidan
Here’s the trick: open the Group Finder and go to Premade Groups -> Raids -> Legacy.

Search for “Illidan” and look for skip groups that take you directly to the final boss.

Don’t forget to reset Illidan when the long RP with Akama ends.

The Reward: A Shot at the Ashes!
When you defeat Illidan and loot the quest item, you can leave the raid and turn in the quest to Vormu, and you will receive a Cache of Timewarped Treasures, which has an increased chance to contain the rare
Ashes of Al’ar phoenix mount!
I didn’t know mounts could drop from the Timewalking Raid quest reward (Disturbance Detected: Black Temple)

If you won’t get the mount, at least there’s 1 piece of Hero-track gear, so what are you waiting for?
