How to Farm Mounts Fast with Raid Lockouts
The Collector's Bounty event is ending in a few days on July 29. Here's how to make the most of the final days using raid lockouts!
What Are Raid Lockouts
Raid lockouts are instances where some bosses have already been defeated, allowing players to skip ahead and access later bosses more quickly, which is perfect for mount and transmog farming.
Get Raid Lockouts from the Achievements Discord
Several members in the Achievements Discord are sharing raid lockouts, letting you skip straight to bosses that drop rare mounts and transmog, making farming much faster. While this is mainly for EU players, you can also find raid lockouts in-game through the LFG tool, at the raid entrances, or in communities.
Each lockout sharer has their own setup, including which raids are available, whether they're faction-specific, and if joining a WoW community is required for cross-realm invites. Make sure to read the instructions carefully!

Mount Route Planner
Not sure where to start? Then try out Mount Route Planner, a new addon that automatically creates optimized farming routes based on your character's current collection, available travel options, and location.
The addon was recently updated and no longer requires copying data from external websites; just open the addon and start farming!
