The Pearlescent Krolusk is a rare carapid mount released in The War Within. Collectors chase it because the pearly color and rounded shell make it one of the more visually distinct Krolusk variants, and because it is a daily-attempt rare spawn that you can farm on alts. This guide focuses on the practical steps you need to reach, kill, and loot the rare that drops it, plus realistic expectations about rarity and farming time.

Quick Answer

What it is: An account-wide Krolusk mount with a pearlescent finish.
Source: Drops from the rare Urmag in the Phase Diving (untethered space) version of K’aresh.
How to get it: Unlock Phase Diving in K’aresh, enter untethered space, find and kill Urmag, hope it drops. You get one looting attempt per character per day.
Rarity: Community and database estimates put the drop somewhere around 7 to 8 percent, roughly 1 in 12 to 1 in 15 kills. Exact official rates have not been published.
Still obtainable: Yes. The mount is not a promotion or time-limited reward and remains farmable in-game.

Mount Overview

The mount models as a sleek Krolusk with a pearlescent shell and soft iridescent highlights that catch light during movement. It belongs to the Krolusk family and fits visually with other carapid mounts while standing out due to its glossy, polished shell. The model scales and animations follow the Krolusk base, making it practical for collectors who want a clean, non-flashy aesthetic.

Introduced in The War Within, the mount drops from a rare named Urmag in the untethered space phase of K’aresh. It is account-wide when picked up and binds on pickup, so once a character loots the mount it is available to all characters on that account.

How to Get the Pearlescent Krolusk

There are three steps to obtaining the mount. Each step has small details worth paying attention to, especially for efficient farming.

1. Unlock K’aresh and Phase Diving

Phase Diving is required to access untethered space, the phase in which Urmag spawns. You unlock it by progressing the K’aresh campaign up to the Phase Diving introduction quests and obtaining the Reshii Wraps. If you have already completed the main campaign on one character, skipping the campaign for alts becomes possible via the unlock methods mentioned in guides. Method’s mount guide walks through the specific questline steps and skip options for alts.

2. Enter untethered space and find Urmag

Once Phase Diving is available, use the nearest Phase Diving conduit and enter the untethered space area of K’aresh. Urmag patrols near the center of the zone, with common coordinates around 70.0, 50.0 in untethered space. Be aware the rare typically spawns close to a world boss, which can interfere with combat or create a veil effect that prevents attacking until you reposition the target. Multiple guides recommend pulling the rare away from the world boss or exiting and re-entering the phase if you hit that bug.

3. Kill Urmag and loot

Urmag is a daily-attempt rare, meaning each character can loot it once per day. Community reports and database entries note that the mob has a respawn timer on the order of minutes, so if you miss it you can often wait and try again rather than leaving the phase. After killing Urmag, check loot. The Pearlescent Krolusk is a Bind on Pickup mount, so whoever loots it gets the account unlock.

Location

• Expansion: The War Within.
• Continent / Zone: K’aresh, untethered space (Phase Diving version).
• Mob: Urmag, a rare spawn that patrols near the center of untethered space, typically close to the world boss Reshanor.
• Approximate coordinates: /way #2371 70.0 50.0 in untethered space, per community maps.

Requirements

• Character level and basic riding: The mount item lists a level requirement; however the practical requirement is unlocking K’aresh and Phase Diving. Some guides note a listed level range but you will need to be able to complete campaign steps or use the skip for alts.
• Phase Diving unlocked on the character you farm with, or the ability to skip the campaign if you have it unlocked on a different character. Method and True Endgame explain the skip and unlock paths.
• One loot attempt per character per day. This means alts remain valuable because each toon can try once per day. Community reports and guides emphasize daily loot lockouts.
• There are no faction, reputation, or achievement prerequisites reported for looting the mount. The mount is a world rare drop, available to both factions.

Farming Tips

Efficient farming matters, because RNG can swing either way. Use the following strategies to maximize tries and reduce wasted time.

• Use alts. Each character gets one looting attempt per day. If the drop rate is low you can dramatically increase daily attempts by using several alts that have Phase Diving unlocked. Guides explain how to skip content for alts if you have the unlock on a main, which saves hours.
• Phase dive carefully. Enter untethered space via the closest conduit and head to Urmag’s spawn point. If Reshanor the world boss is up and creating a veil that blocks attacking the rare, pull Urmag away from the world boss or exit and re-enter the phase. Community posts confirm that pulling the rare away usually resolves the obscured vision problem.
• Solo versus group. The rare is soloable for geared players, and many collectors report solo kills on alts. In groups you still have only the standard loot rules, so plan who will loot if the mount drops. Crowded spawn points can increase kill speed but also split drops among more players.
• Watch respawn and timers. Community sources report a relatively short respawn window for Urmag. If you miss the spawn, wait the short timer or relog to reset phasing rather than traveling to a different zone. One guide mentions roughly a 20 minute respawn, but this can vary by reports.
• Keep a kill log. Track how many attempts you and your group have made. Community comments indicate wide variance, from first-kill drops to dozens of attempts. Logging attempts helps set realistic expectations.
• Play the long game. Reported drop rates put this mount in the low double-digit percent range, but RNG can cluster. Expect to spend multiple days if you only run one character. Use alts when possible.

Is This Mount Still Obtainable?

Yes. The Pearlescent Krolusk is available in the live game and drops from a world rare rather than being tied to promotions or limited events. Database entries and multiple guide sites list it as a current drop from Urmag in K’aresh. If Blizzard changes a source in a future patch, those changes will be reflected on the game database pages and guides.

Is It Worth Farming?

Collector value depends on your priorities. The mount visually stands out among Krolusks because of its pearly sheen, and it remains account-wide once looted, which makes it a practical unlock for an entire collection. It is not mechanically useful beyond being a cosmetic mount, but it carries medium prestige for collectors who like rare drops rather than vendor mounts.

On effort versus reward, the mount is reasonable. Community drop estimates around 7 to 8 percent place it in a middle rarity band. You can farm it across alts to multiply daily attempts, and many players report picking it up in under a week of focused farming using 3 to 5 alts. If you want guaranteed instant acquisition, third-party boosting services exist, but they come with account and policy risks and are not recommended for safety and ToS reasons.

Verdict: Worth farming if you enjoy daily rare clears and you can run several alts, or if you value the unique pearlescent look enough to tolerate some RNG. It is less attractive if you only want guaranteed quick completion and will not use alts.

Collector Notes

The pearlescent finish pairs well with light or neutral transmog sets. Because the mount’s palette is soft and iridescent, it does not clash with most armor dyes. For collectors who prioritize uniqueness, this mount holds up because pearly shells are uncommon in the Krolusk family.

Similar Mounts

• Slateback variants, such as the Phase-Lost Slateback. Similar shell-based look, good for collectors who like hard-shelled mounts and subtle palettes. These are good alternatives for players who want the Krolusk theme but different coloring.
• Other Krolusk family mounts, like the standard Krolusk drops. They match theme and animations, and are easier to collect if you prefer quantity over rarity.
• Bioluminescent or iridescent mounts, such as some dragonfly or crustacean mounts with shifting colors. These appeal to players who like the pearly sheen and light-reactive surfaces.
• Rare spawn mounts from K’aresh, if you enjoy the farming style and Phase Diving mechanics. Collecting several rare drops from the same zone saves on travel and unlock time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still obtain the Pearlescent Krolusk?

Yes. It drops from Urmag in the untethered space phase of K’aresh and remains obtainable on the live servers.

What is the drop rate?

Exact official rates are not published, but community databases and guides list estimates around 7 to 8 percent, with some guides saying roughly 1 in 15. Treat these as community estimates rather than confirmed numbers.

Can I farm this solo?

Yes. Many players report solo kills with sufficiently geared characters. If you run into mechanics related to the nearby world boss, pull the rare away or re-enter the phase. Solo farming is viable and often preferred for targeted loot runs.

Is there a daily lockout?

Yes. You get one looting attempt per character per day for Urmag, so alts increase your daily attempts. Community guides and database comments indicate the daily attempt mechanic.

Will a group speed up the drop chance?

Being in a group can speed up the kill but does not change the mount’s personal loot rules. If the loot system is group-shared, the person who loots receives the mount, so coordinate looting if you want a shot. Using less crowded times can reduce competition for loots.

How many alts should I use?

That depends on patience and time. Many players run 3 to 5 alts to increase daily attempts to a practical level. If you only run one toon, expect the farm to potentially take multiple days.

Are there bugs to watch for?

Yes. Some players report an obscured vision or veil effect when the world boss is active, which can prevent attacking Urmag. Pulling the rare away from the boss or exiting and re-entering the phase usually resolves the issue.

Is the mount account-wide?

Yes. Once looted the mount is account-wide, and available to all characters on that account. It is Bind on Pickup.

Final Thoughts

The Pearlescent Krolusk is a solid middle-ground mount for collectors who enjoy daily rare hunts and incremental progress across alts. It is visually attractive without being overly flashy, and the farming loop is straightforward once you unlock Phase Diving. Expect some RNG, plan your alt strategy, and be ready to pull Urmag away from the nearby world boss if needed. For collectors who value distinctive but tasteful mounts, this one is worth the time investment.
