The Ironbound Wraithcharger has the look of a spirit forced into heavy barding. Its ghostly horse shape and iron shell make it an appealing match for death-knight armor, even though the mount itself is not restricted to death knights.

The acquisition is a Timewalking purchase. That makes the vendor's expansion and event window more important than any raid difficulty or weekly boss kill.

Quick Answer

Buy Bridle of the Ironbound Wraithcharger, item 129922, from Auzin in Northrend Dalaran for 5,000 Timewarped Badges during Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking. Use the bridle to learn the mount. It remains obtainable through the recurring event and can be used by eligible characters of either faction. No death-knight class requirement applies.

Mount Overview

This flying-capable spectral horse is a Timewalking vendor reward with a strongly undead visual theme. It can also be used for ground travel under normal riding rules, with flight subject to character and area eligibility.

The model's association with Salanar the Horseman is flavor, not an instruction to complete a death knight campaign. The mount is separate from class-order-hall chargers, the Headless Horseman's mount, and Invincible. None of those sources replaces Auzin's purchase.

Check the Event Before Traveling

Open the in-game calendar and confirm that Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking is active. A generic Timewalking week for another expansion does not automatically make the Wrath merchant's standard purchase window available.

If the wrong event is active, you can still work on the shared Timewarped Badge currency through available Timewalking activities and save it. The important deadline is spending at Auzin while the appropriate vendor window is active, not earning all 5,000 badges in a single week.

The mount is recurring rather than permanently retired. Missing one Wrath week means waiting for another scheduled occurrence, not losing the collectible forever.

Reach the Correct Dalaran

Auzin is at the central fountain in Runeweaver Square in Northrend Dalaran, around 50, 46. This is the city above Crystalsong Forest, not Legion's Broken Isles Dalaran.

Use an available Northrend travel route or a mage portal specifically to the Northrend city. Do not assume that a Dalaran Hearthstone will take you to the correct event vendor; that travel item is associated with the Legion version.

Look outside at the fountain for the Timewalking Vendor. There is no need to search the Underbelly or enter Ulduar to buy this mount. The related raid event and its quest NPCs are separate activities.

Gather and Consolidate 5,000 Badges

Timewarped Badges come from eligible Timewalking dungeons, bosses, completion rewards, and event quests. Use the current quest reward panel to check the amounts available to your character. Older guides often assume every alt receives the same large first-quest reward, which is not a reliable modern account-wide farming calculation.

If a quest-starting event item drops during a run, use it and finish its turn-in rather than leaving it in your bags. Check the quest's current reward and restrictions before calculating how much more farming remains.

Timewarped Badges can be transferred within the Warband. Inspect older characters for saved balances and move the needed currency through the transfer interface to your intended buyer. Those balances are not automatically added together in Auzin's merchant window.

Do not spend the same fund on toys, reputation commendations, or other mounts while saving for the bridle. Five thousand is the purchase target, not an achievement score or a reputation amount.

Purchase and Learn the Mount

When Wrath Timewalking is active and your buyer has 5,000 badges, open Auzin's stock and select Bridle of the Ironbound Wraithcharger. Confirm that it is uncollected, buy it, and use the bridle from your inventory.

The item teaches mount spell 190690. There is no follow-up quest, additional gold portion, dungeon achievement, or rare-drop roll after the transaction. Buying the correct item is the final acquisition step.

Requirements and Farming Advice

You need access to Auzin during the relevant event, 5,000 Timewarped Badges, and normal riding eligibility. You do not need a specific class, faction, profession, or Exalted reputation.

Queue for Timewalking activities your character is currently eligible to enter. An established character with a badge balance is often the fastest buyer, while a new alt may require additional leveling before the event queue appears. The mount's learnability and the dungeon queue's eligibility are separate questions.

Avoid a fixed estimate such as “ten runs always buys it.” Existing badges, quest rewards, account limits, and the activities chosen all affect the total. Check the balance after each session and stop when the 5,000 are available.

Is It Still Obtainable?

Yes. It remains a recurring Wrath Timewalking vendor mount on Retail. It is not an Invincible drop, a current arena reward, or a one-time promotion. Once learned, the mount stays in the collection when the event ends.

Rarity and Prestige

The wraithcharger is a deterministic reward for currency and timing. Its dark appearance can feel like a high-end undead trophy, but buying it does not require a rare raid drop or a retired achievement. That reliability is a major advantage for collectors who like spectral horses.
