Green Mechanostrider gives an Alliance rider a machine without turning the mount into a complicated engineering project. The narrow body, long mechanical legs, and green fittings retain the charm of the original gnomish riding birds.

Collectors should treat it as an ordinary racial color. Its entry is independent of the heavier Swift Green model, even though both come from the same merchant.

Quick Answer

Milli Featherwhistle sells Green Mechanostrider, item 13321, at Steelgrill's Depot in Dun Morogh for 1 gold base. Buy on a gnome, or on another eligible Alliance character with Gnomeregan Exalted, then use the item. The mount remains obtainable in Retail and is an Alliance ground collectible. Engineering is not required.

Mount Overview

This is the ordinary green mechanostrider. Its simpler riding presentation makes the working-machine silhouette more prominent than on the Swift variants.

It is a complete mount item, not a recipe, pet, or vehicle part. Learning it does not give a combat machine, a passenger seat, or a profession perk. The appearance simply follows the rider's applicable ground-mount speed.

Green Mechanostrider and Swift Green Mechanostrider are separate entries. Owning a green machine already is not enough to know whether both are collected; check the full names in the journal.

Buying It Directly

Look for a gnome character who can already visit Dun Morogh. That is often the simplest buyer because racial shop access avoids an otherwise unnecessary reputation grind.

If your established Alliance main is already Exalted with Gnomeregan, use that character instead. The goal is to learn one copy through an eligible buyer, not to reproduce the shop unlock on every alt.

Travel to Steelgrill's Depot near Kharanos. Milli stands around 56.2, 46.2 on the Retail Dun Morogh map, beside the mechanostriders and riding-training area.

Open her merchant inventory and select Green Mechanostrider, item 13321. Check that it is uncollected, pay the displayed price, and use the item from your bags. Search the journal afterward if you are buying several colors during the visit.

There is no follow-up quest to assemble the legs or fit an engine. Once the item is learned, the collection step is finished.

Location and Travel Notes

Steelgrill's Depot is an outdoor settlement in Dun Morogh, Eastern Kingdoms. From Ironforge, leave through the main exit and follow the roads toward Kharanos and the depot.

Do not travel into Gnomeregan looking for this merchant. The faction name describes purchase eligibility; it does not mean the mount is sold inside the dungeon.

Use Retail map coordinates rather than a Classic waypoint. The same named NPC appears in multiple game versions, and the zone's coordinate layout is not identical across them.

Unlocking the Shop Through Reputation

Non-gnome Alliance buyers can use Gnomeregan Exalted. Ironforge reputation is a different bar and does not satisfy Milli's requirement.

Master Tinker Trini, near Ironforge's flightmaster in the Great Forge, sells the Gnomeregan Tabard. Equip the real tabard while running eligible legacy dungeons. Displaying its wardrobe appearance is not enough to receive championing reputation.

Normal Botanica in Netherstorm is a useful option for an established character. Reach Outland and the floating dungeon entrance near Tempest Keep, set Normal difficulty, and confirm Gnomeregan gains from eligible kills.

Clear the enemies and bosses, take the exit after the final boss, leave, and reset the instance through the portrait menu. Repeat as needed within the normal instance-entry limit. Heroic has a daily lockout, so do not base a repeatable plan on resetting the Heroic version.

An old Alliance character may already have substantial Gnomeregan standing from questing. Check the bar before estimating the work. At Exalted, return to Milli and make the purchase rather than waiting for an automatic mount reward.

Requirements and Price Details

You need Alliance eligibility, gnome racial access or Gnomeregan Exalted, the small gold payment, and normal riding eligibility for ground mounts. There is no profession or class requirement.

The base mount price is 1 gold. Applicable discounts may lower it; at the usual Exalted discount it becomes 80 silver. Historical guides that discuss large riding-training bills are not quoting this current item price.

If the buyer is already a gnome with access, grinding reputation only to save that small difference is rarely useful. For a different race, Exalted matters because it opens the merchant route.

Efficient Collection Tips

Read the complete item name. The ordinary Green Mechanostrider is not a prerequisite for Swift Green, and buying one does not teach both. The lower one-gold price is another useful clue that you selected the ordinary version.

If several colors are missing, inspect Milli's full stock before leaving. Four ordinary colors and three Swift appearances make separate collectibles. Buy missing entries once, learn them, and avoid duplicate items that add nothing to a collection total.

Do not spend Marks of Honor expecting them to pay here. Black Battlestrider uses the legacy PvP shop in Stormwind, while Milli's ordinary green machine is a racial gold purchase.

A mechanical model does not imply you need to learn Engineering. That misunderstanding can turn a short shopping trip into an entirely unrelated profession project.

Is It Still Obtainable?

Yes. Green Mechanostrider remains a permanent Retail vendor mount. It is not one of the retired original epic mechanostriders and has no event schedule or loot lockout.

If the stock is unavailable to your character, review racial eligibility and Gnomeregan standing. A shop refusal is not by itself evidence that the item was removed.

Transmog Pairings

Green accents work naturally with goggles, tool belts, and practical leather or mail. The plain mechanical frame can also make a funny contrast beneath a very serious knight. Choose it for that gnomish personality rather than expecting a rare prestige reward.

Similar Mounts

• Swift Green Mechanostrider adds a heavier visual presentation as a separate entry.
• Blue Mechanostrider offers another ordinary color from the same stock.
• Swift Yellow Mechanostrider is a brighter Swift alternative.
