Players hunting for the Crimson Silvermoon Hawkstrider usually want one thing: a reliable, visually striking Blood Elf hawkstrider that is guaranteed rather than RNG. This guide explains exactly where to get it, what you need before you buy it, and whether the grind is worth your time.

Quick Answer

What it is: a crimson-red hawkstrider ground mount with classic Silvermoon aesthetics.

How to obtain it: purchase from the Silvermoon Court quartermaster once you reach Renown 17 with the Silvermoon Court and have the required Voidlight Marl currency. The vendor is Caeris Fairdawn in Eversong Woods.

Rarity and why players want it: not an RNG drop. It is a prestige cosmetic buy tied to faction progression, so collectors like it because it is exclusive to the Silvermoon Court track and matches Blood Elf styling.

Mount Overview

The Crimson Silvermoon Hawkstrider is a hawkstrider-style ground mount. Visually it leans heavily into Sin’dorei design: deep crimson plumage, filigreed tack, and posture that reads as both elegant and suitably regal for Silvermoon Court pageantry. Its silhouette and animation follow the hawkstrider family, which makes it feel right at home with other Blood Elf mounts while standing out due to the saturated red palette.

From a collector perspective, this mount is appealing for three reasons: it is a themed faction reward, it fills the “crimson hawkstrider” niche that many players want for Blood Elf transmog and roleplay, and it is account-friendly in the sense that the Renown and vendor systems in Midnight make the route transparent and predictable.

How to Get Crimson Silvermoon Hawkstrider

The mount is sold by the Silvermoon Court quartermaster after you reach a specific renown rank. Concretely, you must reach Renown 17 with the Silvermoon Court, and then purchase the mount from Caeris Fairdawn for the listed amount of Voidlight Marl. Because this is a purchasable renown reward, there is no drop RNG to grind for.

Step-by-step acquisition

• Open your Journeys/Adventures interface and view your Silvermoon Court Renown progress to confirm your current rank. The renown track is visible in the Midnight expansion tab.
• Raise Silvermoon Court Renown to 17 by completing the activities that award Silvermoon Court Renown. Common sources include world quests and special assignments in Eversong Woods, completing the zone campaign and side quests, rare kills in the zone, weekly and dungeon renown tasks, and other Silvermoon Court-specific activities.
• Accrue the required Voidlight Marl currency. The quartermaster will sell the mount for a Voidlight Marl cost listed at the vendor window (commonly reported as 6,000 Voidlight Marl for this mount). Have that amount ready.
• Visit Caeris Fairdawn at the Silvermoon Court quartermaster (Saltheril’s Haven in Eversong Woods) and purchase the mount once your Renown rank and currency requirements are met. The mount is learned on pickup.

Location

The relevant renown and vendor live in Eversong Woods, the Silvermoon Court hub in the Midnight expansion. The quartermaster NPC Caeris Fairdawn is positioned in the Silvermoon Court area (commonly referenced as Saltheril’s Haven or the Silvermoon Court hub). Open your Adventure Guide to quickly locate the quartermaster waypoint.

Requirements

• Renown: Silvermoon Court Renown rank 17.
• Currency: Sufficient Voidlight Marl to cover the vendor price, generally reported as 6,000. Verify the in-game vendor window before purchase.
• Expansion ownership: access to the Midnight expansion content and the Silvermoon Court renown track.
• Character level: no unusual level restriction beyond what is required to participate in Midnight content, but your ability to complete Renown sources depends on being able to do activities in Eversong and other Midnight zones.

Farming Tips

Because this mount is a renown vendor reward rather than a drop, the “farming” part is actually a renown grind and currency accumulation. That changes how you approach it: focus on efficient Renown sources and earn Voidlight Marl alongside renown whenever possible.

Efficient Renown strategy

• Mix world quests, special assignments, and the Silvermoon weekly activities. Icy Veins and Wowhead list these as the primary reliable sources for consistent renown. Concentrate on Eversong Woods activities while running a contract that boosts Silvermoon Court gains when available.
• Complete the zone campaign and side quests as you level through or return to the zone; these give long-term renown progress that stacks toward ranks like 17.
• Open Bountiful Caches and complete Delves when you can; Delves often award Voidlight Marl and other renown-friendly payouts. Check your weekly Delve quests and bounties.
• Rotate alts through activities that reward Voidlight Marl. Renown is typically warband-wide meaning your progress or benefits may carry through warband/party systems depending on how Midnight implements shared progression. Confirm whether a given reward is account-shared in your in-game Renown UI.

Time-saving pointers

• Track the Silvermoon Court daily/weekly tasks in your Adventures menu to avoid missing high-value Renown sources.
• When a Contract or similar buff is active that boosts Silvermoon Court gains, prioritize world quests across the Midnight zones to maximize Renown per hour.
• Don’t grind rares endlessly for this mount. It is cheaper and faster to follow Renown progression than to camp RNG drops because the mount is a vendor purchase.

Is This Mount Still Obtainable?

Yes. The Crimson Silvermoon Hawkstrider is currently obtainable through the Silvermoon Court Renown vendor as a Renown reward in Midnight. The mount was added with the Midnight expansion and is listed as a vendor reward at Renown 17, meaning it is not retired or limited-time based on present patch documentation. Always check the vendor window in-game if there is a patch that alters vendor costs or renown ranks.

Is It Worth Farming?

From a collector perspective, yes for these player types:

• Theme collectors who prioritize Blood Elf and Silvermoon aesthetics. The crimson color and Silvermoon styling make it a visually strong fit for Blood Elf transmog and city-roleplay.
• Completionists who are already pursuing Midnight renown rewards. If you are doing Silvermoon Court Renown for other rewards, this mount is a natural buy.
• Value-minded collectors who dislike RNG. Being a renown purchase removes the frustration of rare drop camping.

However, if you are not interested in Midnight content or do not care about the Silvermoon look, this mount is not necessary—other hawkstriders and dragonhawk options exist across the game. The time investment is largely the Renown grind and earning Voidlight Marl rather than repeated rare kills.

Similar Mounts

• Cerulean Hawkstrider – another Midnight-era hawkstrider with a contrasting blue palette. Good if you want the same model in a cooler color.
• Sunreaver Hawkstrider – a Silvermoon/Sunreaver-themed hawkstrider that fits the same city aesthetic and pairs well with Silvermoon transmog sets.
• Swift Red Hawkstrider – a classic red hawkstrider option from earlier content, useful if you prefer older models or want an alternate red hawkstrider without the Midnight renown grind.
• Other Midnight dragonhawk/hawkstrider variants – the Midnight expansion added a number of dragonhawk and hawkstrider recolors and new models, so collectors should check the Midnight mount list to pick the palette that matches their set.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still get the Crimson Silvermoon Hawkstrider?

Yes. It is a Silvermoon Court Renown purchase, available once you reach Renown 17 and have the required Voidlight Marl.

What exactly do I need to buy it?

You need to be Silvermoon Court Renown 17 and have the mount’s price in Voidlight Marl. Reports list the cost at around 6,000 Voidlight Marl but always verify the number in the vendor window since costs may shift across patches.

Where is the vendor located?

Caeris Fairdawn is the Silvermoon Court quartermaster located in the Silvermoon Court hub in Eversong Woods (Saltheril’s Haven area). Use your Adventure Guide to waypoint the quartermaster quickly.

How long will it take to reach Renown 17?

Time varies with playstyle. If you focus on world quests, Delves, the Silvermoon campaign, and weekly renown activities, you will progress faster. Expect several days to a couple of weeks of targeted Midnight play for most players, depending on session length and whether you do bountiful activities or contract boosts.

Can multiple characters on my account purchase it?

The mount itself is learned on pickup so once purchased it becomes available account-wide like other learned mounts. The Renown progress and Voidlight Marl are tied to the Midnight renown and currency systems, which have some shared warband or account-level components; check your Renown UI for specifics on sharing.

Is there any RNG involved?

No. This mount is a vendor purchase at a set renown rank and price, so once you meet requirements you can buy it immediately without chance.

Can I farm Voidlight Marl faster?

Yes. Prioritize Delves, bountiful caches, and activities that specifically reward Voidlight Marl. Use any active contract or buff that increases Silvermoon Court rewards and rotate to world quests that payout Marl and Renown.

Is this mount useful in transmog sets or roleplay?

Absolutely. Its saturated crimson palette and Silvermoon-styled tack make it an excellent match for Blood Elf-themed transmog and Silvermoon roleplaying builds. For collectors who want a canonical Silvermoon steed, this is one of the cleanest options.

Final Thoughts

The Crimson Silvermoon Hawkstrider is one of those practical, low-frustration collector rewards: no rare spawn camping, a clear renown requirement, and an appearance that strongly suits Silvermoon fans. If you are running Midnight content and want a crimson hawkstrider that reads like it belongs in the royal courts, this mount is worth the Renown investment. Remember to confirm the vendor price in-game before committing your Voidlight Marl, and plan your Renown activities around the most efficient Silvermoon Court sources.
