Midnight Patch 12.0.5 OverviewRitual Sites Challenges and Rewards
Void-Corrupted Lynx Mount
One of the rare craftable mounts in WoW, the Void-Corrupted Lynx can be obtained via Leatherworking after obtaining 2 parts from Ritual Sites: the Pattern: Rope Lynx Harness and the Broken Lynx Leash. However, exact acquisition details for those parts have been a bit sparse as the mount journal simply lists the location as 'Ritual Sites: Treasures and Rare Spoils.' With more than week of Patch 12.0.5 behind us, we've learned a few more details.
To obtain either the pattern or the crafting material, you'll first need to reach the max Renown of Rank 8 for Ritual Sites. Reputation is earned at roughly 1 reputation per spoil, so you'll want to farm at the highest difficulty and number of challenges that you can do efficiently. Consider completing Ritual Sites in a group if undergeared.
Ritual Chest at the end of a Ritual Site
Once you've hit max Renown, the Broken Lynx Leash has a chance to drop from the Ritual Chest found at the end of a Ritual Site on any difficulty, both Broken Throne and Daggerspine Point. Players have reported drops of the crafting material at Tier 1 through Tier 5 with all 8 challenges active as well as no challenges.
Similarly, the Pattern: Rope Lynx Harness has a chance to drop from the Ritual Chest found at the end of any Ritual Site but likely requires Tier 5 difficulty with 8 challenges, according to most reports. Both the leash and pattern can drop for non-leatherworkers, and many report receiving either shortly after hitting max renown.
Crafting the Mount
Fortunately, if you're just looking to obtain the mount from Rope Lynx Harness, then you'll only need the easier to obtain Broken Lynx Leash, which is bind-on-pickup. Simply commission a work order from a Leatherworker with the pattern alongside a few other reagents and likely a handsome tip:
1x Broken Lynx Leash
40x Mote of Primal Energy
1x Infused Scalewoven Hide
2x Sin'dorei Armor Banding
The Pattern: Rope Lynx Harness is bind-on-equip and therefore tradeable on the Auction House. It's currently listed for a couple hundred thousand gold at the time of publishing. Consider offloading your pattern for some extra gold or picking it up if the price is right and you're tired of the grind.
The Void-Corrupted Lynx mount emanates a void corrupted purple glow likely caused by the nearby rituals. Despite us needing to craft a harness via Leatherworking for this mount, the actual mount itself doesn't have a saddle or any visible barding which is a bit ironic.
Have you crafted the Void-Corrupted Lynx yet? How many runs did it take you to get the materials and at what renown and Ritual Site challenge difficulty?
