WoW Classic 20th Anniversary: How to Unlock the Memorable Coldflame Tempest

World of Warcraft, one of the longest-running MMORPGs, is celebrating its 20th anniversary with an exciting in-game event running until January 6. During this event, players have the chance to earn iconic Tier 2 sets from Vanilla WoW and unlock a truly memorable mount – the Coldflame Tempest.

Although this mount is free, unlocking it requires completing a series of achievements. Typically, these achievements might take months to complete, but with the help of this guide (and some patience), you can potentially earn the mount within a day or two.

Getting Started: Travel to the Caverns of Time

To begin, head to the Caverns of Time via the portal in Stormwind City or Orgrimmar. Once you arrive, you’ll find a variety of anniversary event tasks to complete. These tasks reward you with cosmetics and WoW Classic Gold that can enhance your gameplay experience.

 

The Eight Achievements to Unlock Coldflame Tempest

To earn the Coldflame Tempest, you must complete the following eight achievements. While some can be done quickly, others may take extra effort. It's best to tackle the easier tasks first, giving you more time to focus on the challenging ones.

1. I Have That One! – Match a mount during Mount Mania.
2. Fashion Critic – Cast a vote in Fashion Frenzy.
3. Pet Mischief – Use a pet disguiser to transform into your pet and explore the designated area.
4. Balloonist – Ride one of the anniversary balloons.
5. Peanut Gallery – React to the story told by Lorewalker Cho.
6. An Original – Defeat any boss among Azuregos, Lord Kazzak, Lethon, Emeriss, Taerar, and Ysondre during the event.
7. A Gatecrasher – Defeat any boss among Doomwalker, Sha of Anger, and Archavon the Stonewatcher during the anniversary event.
8. Codex Editor: Ahn’Qiraj – Complete the Codex of Chromie scenario.

 

Tips for Completing the Achievements

All these achievements can be completed in the Caverns of Time area in Tanaris. After finishing one, open your map to locate the nearest active activity. This will help you navigate efficiently and save time.

For world boss achievements, the bosses will be marked on your map. To avoid unnecessary delays, it's a good idea to reach the boss location as quickly as possible—waiting for the next spawn can be time-consuming.

Conclusion

By following this guide, you can unlock the Coldflame Tempest mount in WoW Classic's 20th Anniversary event in just a few days or even hours. This memorable event offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy unique content, earn rare rewards, and relive the nostalgia of Vanilla WoW.

Enjoy your journey, and may you ride your Coldflame Tempest proudly through Azeroth. Happy gaming!
