The Shimmermist Runner is an elegant glowing unicorn-like mount that players can unlock in World of Warcraft by completing the maze in Ardenweald.
Players wishing to unlock a beautiful glowing unicorn-like mount in World of Warcraft should look no further than the Shimmermist Runner. Unlike some of the other mounts within the game that have been covered previously, this mount cannot be purchased. Instead it must be unlocked by completing an activity. Specifically, by completing the Ardenweald Maze.
It is one of the easier mounts to obtain within the game, considering it is unique. Players will only need to solve the maze and defeat a single enemy to claim the Shimmermist Runner as their own. This unique mount requires a player to be between level one and 60 as well as an Apprentice at riding. From their bit of flavor text, it makes a lot of sense that the Shimmermist Runner has to be found rather than earned. They have a disdain for Spriggan riders, which causes the Spriggans to play tricks on them.
How To Complete The Ardenweald Maze In World Of Warcraft
First of all, for players to reach the Ardenweald Maze, they will need to go to the Mistveil Tangle in the center of Tirna Scithe. To enter the maze, players will need to come to the Oaken Assembly at roughly 31, 54. Don’t enter the maze blindly, as it will lose the player both the rare Spriggan mob boss they are supposed to fight, Shizgher, but it will also stop the player from unlocking the mount. For the most part, players need to simply follow the blue lanterns, but they can easily be missed in the maze.
At the first Y within the maze, make a left. On the second one make a right. For the next Y, head left again. At the fourth intersection hang a right. At the fifth, players should continue straight through the route of the maze. Which will eventually bring the player to the last intersection where they will need to make another left.
This will open up to the area with Shizgher. He can be a bit tough, however, even with lower quality gear as a 60th level character, players should be able to defeat him without a problem. Once he has been defeated players should see the Shimmermist Runner. To collect it as the player’s mount, head over to the unicorn and right-click it.
However, if the player has already completed the Mists of Tirna Scithe, this maze will be uninstanced. In this version of the maze, players will need to bring some backup along for the quest as elite mobs will fill the entirety of the maze. Players can try their best to outpace the enemies with a mount but will still run the risk of being catapulted off it if they are hit by one of the passing enemies.
