Blizzard's Collector's Bounty event is live from July 1st to July 29th, and it's one of the best times ever to farm rare legacy mounts in World of Warcraft. This month-long event increases drop rates by up to 10x—and in some cases, 25x—for mounts from pre-Dragonflight dungeons and raids. On top of that, transmog loot will also be doubled.
In Thraun's guide on his YouTube channel, he went over the entire list of affected mounts by expansion, explained their original drop rates, and calculated what their new drop chances are during the event. If you've ever wanted to complete your mount collection, now is the time! Meanwhile, if you need gold to prepare for patch 11.2, we can be your best choice by offering cheap and reliable World of Warcraft gold to boost your journey.

Warlords of Draenor Mounts
WoD has fewer legacy mounts overall, but two notable raid drops are impacted:

Excluded Mounts & Blizzard's Clarification
It's important to note that Dragonflight content is not included in the Collector's Bounty event. Mounts such as Anu'relos, Flame's Guidance, and Infinite Timereaver are not affected by the drop rate increases.
Final Thoughts: Make the Most of July
With drop rates increased by 10x (and up to 25x for some content), July is the perfect month to farm legacy mounts. Whether you're a completionist, a casual collector, or just looking for something new to chase, the Collector's Bounty buff makes even the rarest legacy mounts much more accessible.
