Players searching for the Gloombough Groveglider usually want to know three things: how to get it, whether it can be farmed, and whether the effort or cost is worth it. This guide gives a clear, collector-focused breakdown so you can decide whether to buy it, skip it, or prioritize related mounts.

Quick Answer

What it is: a Groveglider glider-style mount with a dark, nocturnal color palette. How to get it: purchase from the in-game Shop as part of the Scurrywind Groveglider Collection or individually. Rarity and availability: not a drop or zone reward, it is a shop/paid mount and is account-wide once purchased. Why players want it: compact, thematic look for shadowy or druidic transmog sets and part of a cohesive mount family that scales with riding skill.

Key sources confirm the mount is sold through Blizzard’s Shop and is shared across your characters.

Mount Overview

The mount is a member of the Groveglider family, a line of small, gliding, tree-dwelling creatures introduced as collectible mounts. Visually this variant favors dark, nocturnal tones and a compact silhouette that reads well at ground speed and while flying. Collectors tend to like it because it stands out among the brighter Groveglider recolors and fits stealthy or shadow-themed transmog sets.

• Theme: nocturnal, arboreal glider with deep/dusky coloration.
• Mount family: Groveglider class (multiple color variants released in collections).
• Expansion / availability: modern retail WoW Shop release rather than an expansion-specific drop.
• Collector appeal: unique dark palette, small footprint while gathering, and part of a visually consistent set that some collectors complete for transmog synergy.

How to Get Gloombough Groveglider

This mount is obtained through the World of Warcraft in-game Shop. Blizzard released a Groveglider collection called the Scurrywind Groveglider Collection; the mount is included there and is also offered individually for purchase. It is not a raid, dungeon, or rare spawn drop.

What to expect when purchasing:

• Buying the bundle grants all included Grovegliders at once; buying an individual entry grants only that variant. The shop adjusts bundle pricing if you already own one or more mounts in the collection.
• Once bought, the mount is account-wide and available to all current and future characters on your account.
• The mount automatically scales to the highest riding skill known by the character using it. If the character lacks the flight skill to use it as a flying mount, it will function as a ground mount instead.

Location

There is no in-world zone, boss, or event to visit for this mount. Purchase is made through the Blizzard Shop interface inside the game or via the Battle.net shop listing tied to your account. After purchase the mount appears in your Collection and can be summoned from anywhere you would normally call mounts.

Requirements

• World of Warcraft subscription or game time: the Shop purchase requires an active account for modern retail characters.
• Character requirements: none strict beyond being able to access your Collection. The mount will scale to riding skill; a character without flying skill will use it as a ground mount until they learn higher riding tiers.
• Platform/payment: purchase requires using the Blizzard shop (Battle.net), which accepts Blizzard Balance and the shop’s supported payment methods. Exact payment options depend on your region and Battle.net account.

Farming Tips

Because this is a shop-purchased mount, there is no farming strategy for items or boss kills. Instead use these practical tips around buying, collection management, and alternative ways to acquire similar aesthetics without spending real money.

• Wait for discounts or bundles: Blizzard periodically runs promotions, bundle sales, and regional discounts. If you are price sensitive, wait for a sale rather than buying immediately. The collection page indicates bundle pricing is dynamic if you already own some items.
• Account sharing: buy once for account-wide access. You do not need to purchase separately for alts.
• Buy individual if you only want one color: individual mounts are available separately, so buy just the Gloombough variant if you do not want the full set.
• Alternative free options: if you prefer not to spend, look at world drops, rare spawns, and achievement mounts from the same visual family or theme. Recommendations are listed below. Use the in-game mount journal’s model viewer to preview alternatives before committing.
• Use on-alt strategy: after purchase, visit your Collection on each alt and add it to favorite or key-bind for quick access when collecting or running low-profile content.

Is This Mount Still Obtainable?

Yes. The mount is currently obtainable through the Blizzard Shop for modern retail characters. It is not gated behind time-limited content such as a past event or a removed raid drop. Availability is subject to Blizzard’s shop rotation and policy changes, so a shop item can theoretically be retired later, but at the time of publication it is actively offered.

Is It Worth Farming or Buying?

“Worth it” depends on your priorities.

• For collectors: the dark palette and small, detailed model make it a worthwhile buy if you aim to collect complete color sets in the Groveglider line. It fills a niche that brighter variants do not.
• For practical players: it functions like any mount in your Collection and scales with riding skill, so it has practical parity with other mounts. If you prefer free-to-play acquisition, this will not appeal because it is purchase-only.
• For transmog and aesthetic use: the compact, darker look pairs well with stealthy or druidic sets and does not obscure your character while farming nodes or doing daily content. Many players favor smaller mounts for gathering.

Overall, if you buy cosmetic mounts occasionally and like the look, this is a low-risk purchase because of account-wide sharing and the model’s utility. If you want mounts only from gameplay without out-of-game purchases, it is not a fit.

Similar Mounts

Here are related mounts that match by theme, appearance, or acquisition method.

• Blossombranch Groveglider — a lighter, floral Groveglider variant. Good if you want the same model in brighter colors. Offers a matching family theme.
• Cindertuft Groveglider — warmer-toned Groveglider that pairs with fiery or autumn transmog. Another shop collection entry.
• Shadowbough Groveglider (Classic variant) — a Classic-era Groveglider styling for players on Mists of Pandaria Classic progression realms; artistically similar and useful if you play Classic servers.
• Ardenweald-themed gliders and druidic mounts — those who like forest or ethereal flight should compare Ardenweald and Night Fae-themed mounts for a similar vibe, though models differ.
• Small prestige mounts (shop or event) — if you like compact mounts for gathering, check other shop or event mounts that are small and unobtrusive so you can mine/herb without the larger mount hitbox blocking nodes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still get the Gloombough Groveglider?

Yes. It is available in the modern in-game Shop as an individual mount or part of the Scurrywind Groveglider Collection.

Is it account-wide?

Yes. Purchases of these shop mounts are shared across all present and future characters on your account.

Can I farm it in-game without buying it?

No. This particular variant is shop-only. There is no raid, dungeon, or rare spawn that drops the Gloombough variant.

Does it require a certain riding level to use?

The mount scales to the highest riding skill known by the character summoning it. If the character lacks flying skill, the mount functions as a ground mount until the character learns the appropriate flying tier.

Is the model small enough for gathering professions?

Yes. Grovegliders are relatively compact compared to large drakes or steeds, making them a good choice for mining and herbalism where you do not want to obscure nodes. Community feedback notes the small footprint is useful for gathering.

Will Blizzard ever remove shop mounts from sale?

Blizzard can rotate shop items and occasionally retire or repackage bundles. At the time of writing the Groveglider collection is available, but availability may change with future shop rotations. If you want the variant, consider buying before any potential retirement.

Are there any bundle discounts?

Yes. The Scurrywind Groveglider Collection is sold as a complete bundle at a reduced price compared to buying every mount individually. The bundle price dynamically adjusts if you already own one or more mounts in the set.

Is the mount usable on Classic servers?

No. The Scurrywind Collection is for modern retail realms. Classic progression realms have a separate Scurrysoar Groveglider Collection for Classic players; check the Classic shop offerings if you play Mists of Pandaria Classic.

Final Thoughts

The Gloombough Groveglider is an attractive, compact shop mount that fills a specific collectible niche for players who prefer darker, stealthier aesthetics. It is not something you can farm in-game, so the question of whether to add it to your collection comes down to budget and collector priorities. If you value a consistent Groveglider set or want a small, unobtrusive mount for gathering and transmog, it is a strong and practical buy. Otherwise, there are gameplay-acquired alternatives with different visuals to consider.
