Head to the Holiday Enthusiast outside Valdrakken’s bank to pick up the initial quest. Challenge 16 races across Eastern Kingdoms in Normal, Advanced, and Reverse variations to earn Riders of Azeroth Badges to exchange for rewards with Maztha. Soar through Eastern Kingdoms skies with the dragonrider racing event, Eastern Kingdoms Cup. Here is what you can find with this week’s Fury Incarnate PTR update:

Seeing that so few gain access to this (and, let's be honest, even fewer of those still play) is a little hard to swallow.Here come this week's Fury Incarnate PTR dev notes! We have the Eastern Kingdoms Dragonriding cup, Mistweaver and Dawn of the Infinite changes. I understand giving it to the Scarab Lord achievement holders, but why not put something in that would allow players to earn one? Or, even just earn a permenant red/blue version? hmmm but I'm glad those who got shafted by people ringing the going at 3 am will get their mount. I wish I could get the mount in some way. It just seems like the time could probably have been better off dedicated somewhere else. Even assuming that 3-4 players per realm got it, you're looking at a mount that is going to reward maybe a couple thousand players in total even if every single one of them was still playing on all servers that opened the gates. I have other exclusive mounts/titles that haven't seen the same treatment, so why this one in particular? On top of that, it seems like time that could have been spent working on other content such as fresh new mounts for BfA instead when you're really rewarding a very, very, very small minority of players with this one. I don't really see why they would go over the mount and give it a fresh coat of paint. I can't even imagine their thought processes that led them to think this was a good idea. They've got a unique title and mount already, why are they getting another one? More to the point, why is this a thing 12 years later, and are they going to attempt the same thing for other expansions (such as "Hand of Adal" or those who got "Herald of the Titans" before the TW event)? Comment by Aarkan on T23:08:41-06:00 I don't understand the logic behind this. But, I’m content with seeing the veterans having a little reward.
