The Xy Trustee’s Gearglider is a compact, mechanical flying disc with a sleek, cartel-tech look that appeals to collectors who prefer small, animated mounts with a lot of character. It’s a secret-style reward tied to Manaforge Omega content and a short, targeted set of steps rather than a long reputation or raid-drop grind. If you like mounts that feel like a reward for solving an in-game puzzle, this one sits comfortably in that category.

Quick Answer

What it is: A flying disc mount that teaches an account-wide mount when used.

Source type: Secret / quest reward unlocked by collecting three cartel “Dead Drops” inside the Manaforge Omega raid after using cartel Deals.

How to obtain it: Acquire the three Cartel Dead Drops (one for each cartel) while holding the corresponding Deal buff, then speak to Zo’turu outside Manaforge Omega to accept the quest that rewards the mount and a toy.

Rarity and availability: A secret discovery that is obtainable in live game content. It requires some raid access and a short setup; it is not a random raid boss drop but a guaranteed quest reward after completing the collectible steps.

Mount Overview

The Gearglider is a small, rounded flying disc with visible gearwork and glowing arcane elements, styled to match cartel/engineering aesthetics. It is a flying mount, account-wide when learned, and visually sits with other mechanical or glider-style mounts while remaining compact—a good choice for collectors who want a distinct silhouette without a huge model. The item that teaches it behaves like a typical mount-item you use to add it to your collection.

How to Get Xy Trustee’s Gearglider

The mount is obtained by completing a short secret collection sequence tied to Manaforge Omega. The full process breaks down into clear steps:

1. Obtain one of the Deal: Cartel items (Cartel Ba, Cartel Zo, Cartel Om) so you can be “in” a cartel and reveal that cartel’s Dead Drop. These Deals are inscription-crafted consumables that can also appear on the Auction House.
2. Enter Manaforge Omega and locate the cartel Dead Drop for the cartel you joined. Each cartel has a specific Dead Drop location inside the raid; the drops are world objects shaped like hexagonal scrolls. Some Dead Drops are unreachable after certain bosses are killed, so pick your route carefully.
3. Loot the Dead Drop. Doing this for all three cartels (Ba, Zo, Om) records progress. Community tools and small scripts have been shared for tracking which Dead Drops you have looted.
4. Once you have all three Cartel Dead Drops looted on your character, speak to Zo’turu at Shadow Point (the area outside Manaforge Omega). Zo’turu will offer the quest (listed on some databases as Someone Like Me / Somebody Like Me). Completing that quest awards the Xy Trustee’s Gearglider mount and the Cartel Transmorpher toy.

Notes: the Dead Drops can be acquired on any Manaforge Omega difficulty. Some Dead Drops become inaccessible after bosses are defeated in the current instance run, so grab them before pulling bosses that block their spots. Community reports and database guides list the three Dead Drop coordinates and which boss can block each one.

Location

All three Dead Drops are inside the Manaforge Omega raid. Manaforge Omega is the final raid for The War Within expansion and is accessed via the Ghosts of K’aresh campaign content; the raid was added with Patch 11.2. The final step of the chain requires talking to Zo’turu at Shadow Point, which is the area just outside the raid instance.

Requirements

• Access to Manaforge Omega (you must be able to enter and move through the raid).
• One of the Deal: Cartel consumables to reveal a cartel’s Dead Drop (inscription-crafted, available from scribes or the Auction House in many cases).
• Loot all three Cartel Dead Drops (Ba, Zo, Om) on the same character to trigger the quest at Zo’turu. Some community notes indicate you must be able to loot the three drops on a single character to get the quest.
• It is recommended to do the Dead Drop pickups before killing certain bosses that make the objects unreachable in that run.
• Character level requirements are standard for the raid content; once the mount item is in your inventory, learning it is account-wide.

Farming Tips

The goal here is not repeated RNG boss drops but a short, deliberate collection. Use these tips to save time.

• Pre-plan your run: Learn which Dead Drop is blocked by which boss so you can pick them up before pulling. Community maps and guides show each Dead Drop’s approximate location.
• Buy Deals on the AH: If you do not scribe, check the Auction House for Deal: Cartel consumables. Inscription players often craft and sell them.
• One-week-per-cartel myth? Some early reports suggested one-cartel-per-week cadence due to buffs, but community testing found ways to stack or swap Deals. That behavior has been reported as buggy by players, and using a macro to apply multiple Deals at once was reported working at times but may be unintended. Treat it as a community-found workaround rather than intended design. If you rely on it you accept the risk that Blizzard could change or hotfix it.
• Use an alt for speed: While the quest reward appears to require looting all three drops on the same character, you can speed the process by using alts to buy Deals and scout locations, then perform the final looting run on one main character. Check community comments and scripts to track which Dead Drops are flagged on your character.
• Any difficulty works: Dead Drops have been reported accessible on any raid difficulty, including Story Mode and LFR where available. That means soloable clears for some players through lower difficulties or story-mode access.

Is This Mount Still Obtainable?

Yes. The mount was discovered by the WoW Secret Finding & Collections community and documented in late 2025, and the collection method works in live game content tied to Manaforge Omega. It is not a retired promotional mount or a limited-time Trading Post purchase. As long as Manaforge Omega and the related mechanics are present on live servers, the collection sequence remains obtainable. If Blizzard changes the raid or the Dead Drop mechanics in future patches, that could affect availability, but there has been no official retirement notice as of the latest reports.

Is It Worth Farming?

Yes, for most collectors. The Gearglider is quick to obtain compared with long reputation grinds or rare raid drops. It rewards problem-solving and exploration rather than repeated RNG, which many collectors appreciate. It also comes packaged with a toy (Cartel Transmorpher), increasing its collector value. If you like small, engineered mounts and enjoy secret-finding content, this mount is worth the short time investment. For completionists it is an easy and satisfying checkmark.

Collector Notes

Small mounts with a mechanical motif often hold niche appeal. This glider is compact enough to pair with city shots, transmog photos, and watcher-style collections. It does not carry massive prestige like a world-first raid mount, but it offers collector prestige in a different way: you had to find and perform the right sequence inside a raid to earn it, and those “secret mount” moments tend to be remembered by the community. If you care about unique animations, check in-game—the gearglider has a satisfying summon and idle animation that helps it stand out.

Similar Mounts

• Cartel Master’s Gearglider – Similar theme and flight silhouette, a good follow-up if you like cartel/engineering aesthetics.
• Tazavesh Gearglider – Another small mechanical glider with tight animations; recommended for players who liked the movement and visual scale of the Xy Trustee’s disc.
• Geosynchronous World Spinner – A smaller engineering-themed mount with visible mechanisms; appeals to collectors who like gadgetry.
• Cartel Transmorpher (toy) – Not a mount, but paired in the same reward package and useful for collectors who enjoy cartel-themed cosmetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still get the Xy Trustee’s Gearglider?

Yes. The mount is obtainable through the Dead Drop sequence in Manaforge Omega and remains available on live servers according to community and database reporting.

Do I need to kill raid bosses or rely on RNG drops?

No. Unlike a rare boss mount, this reward comes from collecting three specific Dead Drop objects inside the raid while holding the correct cartel Deals, then turning in the resulting quest. You are not relying on a low-percentage loot table.

Can I loot Dead Drops on any difficulty?

Reports indicate Dead Drops can be looted on any difficulty of Manaforge Omega, including Story Mode and lower difficulties, which makes the sequence broadly accessible. Confirm the location and whether a boss will block access in that instance.

Do I have to collect all three Dead Drops on the same character?

Yes. Community guides and database notes recommend looting all three on the same character so the NPC outside the raid offers the quest. There are community scripts that let you check which Dead Drops are flagged for your character.

Where do I get the Deal: Cartel items?

Deal: Cartel consumables are inscription crafts and have been sold on the Auction House by scribes. If you do not scribe, check the AH or ask in trade for a crafter.

Is there a way to speed up getting all three deals in one week?

Community members reported a macro that applies multiple Deals at once and other workarounds. Those are community-found behaviors and may be unintended; they have sometimes worked but should be treated as unofficial and subject to hotfix. Use at your own discretion.

Is the mount account-wide?

Yes. Once you use the mount item to learn it, it is account-wide like most mount items.

Does the mount come with anything else?

Yes. The quest reward that gives the mount also grants the Cartel Transmorpher toy. That toy is useful for collectors who like cartel-themed effects and transmog options.

Final Thoughts

The Xy Trustee’s Gearglider is a tidy, collector-friendly reward that favors short investigative gameplay over long grinds. It is obtainable without a long RNG slog, and the added toy increases the package value. If you can enter Manaforge Omega and either craft or buy the Deal consumables, the mount is a fast, satisfying pickup for completionists and themed collectors alike. For a secret mount, it hits the sweet spot: not a massive prestige item, but memorable and quick to secure.
