A Black-Furred Bakar has the straightforward appeal of traveling with a very large dog. The dark coat suits practical adventuring outfits, and its connection to the Dragon Isles gives it a different personality from the Horde's traditional wolves.

Despite that setting, this particular bakar is not a Maruuk Centaur Renown reward. Its current source is Dragonflight Timewalking, with a fixed badge cost.

Quick Answer

Buy Black-Furred Bakar, item 210140, from Xydan in Valdrakken for 5,000 Timewarped Badges during Dragonflight Timewalking. Xydan stands in the Bronze Enclave around 81.4, 47.3. Both factions can obtain this ground mount in Retail. No Maruuk Centaur Renown rank, Grand Hunt drop, or profession is required for the purchase.

Mount Overview

This mount uses the bakar family from Dragonflight, with a black coat and the broad canine silhouette familiar from the Ohn'ahran Plains. Its collection value is the creature itself rather than ornate armor or a large magical effect.

It is distinct from Good Boy's Leash and Brown-Furred Spiky Bakar. Those related appearances follow their own reward systems; owning or pursuing them does not unlock this item automatically.

Black-Furred Bakar is a single-rider ground mount. It provides no passenger seat or vendor service, and its model does not gain flight simply because your character can use flying mounts.

How to Get the Black-Furred Bakar

Confirm Dragonflight Timewalking is active

Look at the in-game calendar for your region and identify the Dragonflight Timewalking week. Its merchant is Xydan, rather than the Centaur reputation vendors or a Grand Hunt reward chest.

Special Turbulent Timeways periods can place several expansion events in a row. Check which week is actually active before traveling to the vendor; the general presence of Timewalking does not make every expansion's normal shop available at once.

You can prepare the entire badge balance before the Dragonflight week begins. There is no requirement to earn the purchase currency in a single event window.

Save or transfer 5,000 badges

Complete eligible Timewalking dungeons and event quests, then claim their rewards. The currency you need is Timewarped Badge, not Dragon Isles Supplies, Centaur Hunting Trophies, or Trader's Tender.

Badges earned from other expansion events remain useful. If you regularly participate in Timewalking, check whether an older character already holds part or all of the required amount.

Use the current Warband currency transfer interface to place enough badges on the buying character. The useful number is that character's confirmed balance after the transfer, not an informal total spread across several alts.

Inspect live quest rewards when calculating the rest. Historical advice that assumes the same large first-dungeon bonus on every alt can overestimate current earnings. Dungeon boss counts, completion rewards, and quest eligibility also affect the number of runs needed.

Go to Xydan in Valdrakken

Travel to Valdrakken in Thaldraszus and head east to the Bronze Enclave. Xydan is around 81.4, 47.3 on the city map.

This is a city-map coordinate. It should not be entered as an Ohn'ahran Plains waypoint merely because bakar are associated with that zone. Xydan's shop, not the animal's habitat, is the final destination.

During the appropriate event, browse the mount rewards and select Black-Furred Bakar. Xydan also has other rewards, so confirm the name and the 5,000-badge price before purchasing.

Learn and verify the appearance

Use the item from your bags and check the mount journal for the learned Black-Furred Bakar entry. Reaching the badge total or completing an event dungeon does not independently teach the mount.

There is no additional reputation fee or required purchase from a Centaur merchant afterward. Once the correct item is learned, the acquisition is complete.

Location

The merchant is in Valdrakken's Bronze Enclave on the Dragon Isles. The farming itself takes place through eligible Timewalking activities, which can be queued without remaining beside the merchant.

Grand Hunts in the plains belong to a different reward system. Completing hunts or raising Maruuk Renown solely for this black bakar adds an unrelated project to a simple badge purchase.

Requirements

• 5,000 Timewarped Badges on the buyer.
• Xydan's Dragonflight Timewalking reward window.
• Access to Valdrakken and ordinary ground-mount eligibility.
• No faction restriction, Renown rank, rare kill, or crafting requirement for the mount purchase.

Use a character eligible for the event queue if you intend to farm badges there. Buying a collectible and entering a scaled dungeon are separate parts of the process.

Farming Tips

Choose the bakar as a deliberate spending target before browsing Xydan's other collectibles. Buying several smaller cosmetics first can leave the mount just beyond reach when the week ends.

Transfer spare badges before the trip. That avoids unnecessary character switching while standing at the vendor and confirms whether any additional dungeon farming is actually needed.

If you miss the current merchant window, keep the currency and watch the calendar for the next one. Badges carry over; a missed week does not erase the progress already made.

For a group, efficient familiar dungeon runs are usually more useful than trying to force an exact badges-per-hour estimate. Queue time and quest rewards vary, and this mount has no random drop chance to improve through a particular boss farm.

Is This Mount Still Obtainable?

Yes. It is a recurring Retail Timewalking vendor mount. The appropriate event must be active for the normal purchase opportunity, but it is not a permanently removed Dragonflight-season reward.

An older guide may describe the item before its current vendor route was established. Use the exact item name and current event stock when comparing acquisition notes.

Is It Worth Farming?

The bakar is a strong choice for collectors who enjoy simple animal mounts and understated travel outfits. The fixed price gives it a clear endpoint, and both factions can use the learned appearance.

Its utility is ordinary ground travel. Spend the badges because you like the doglike model, rather than expecting extra speed or a special hunting benefit.

Who Should Prioritize This Mount

Rangers, hunters, and collectors building a canine set are the obvious audience. It also suits a casual adventurer who wants a mount that looks like a companion instead of a military vehicle.

Similar Mounts

• Good Boy's Leash supplies another bakar collectible through a separate achievement route.
• Brown-Furred Spiky Bakar offers a different coat and equipment treatment.
• Black Wolf provides a traditional canine alternative with a more compact silhouette.
