Every six months, a quest to acquire the elusive Spirit of Eche’ro mount becomes available to complete in World of Warcraft.
While the Spirit of Eche’ro is not particularly rare or difficult to acquire, the quest is only available on a rotating schedule every six months, adding an air of prestige to the spiritual moose mount. Additionally, the time-consuming grind associated with the mount tends to discourage players from acquiring it.
If you’re up for the time sink (and the quest is available), here’s how to acquire the Spirit of Eche’ro mount in World of Warcraft.
How to complete the Eche’ro questline in WoW
Head to Dalaran, located above the Broken Isles. You can use the Dalaran Hearthstone you acquired during the Legion leveling experience to arrive in the city quickly. The Archaeology trainer you need to interact with in Dalaran is in the “Things of the Past” store in Dalaran’s Magus Commerce Exchange. Once inside the building, speak with Dariness the Learned to pick up a quest called “The Right Path.” Again, this quest is only available every six months.

To complete the quest, fly to Thunder Totem in Highmountain and speak with Lessah Moonwater. Moonwater gives you another quest to collect 600 Bone Fragments of Eche’ro. You can find these Bone Fragments across dig sites in Highmountain, each yielding approximately 20 fragments. In other words, you need to spend a lot of time in one zone, grinding the same mundane objective repeatedly—prepare to invest some time and get Netflix rolling on your second monitor if you need to.
Collecting these 600 fragments is the most difficult and time-consuming part of the Spirit of Eche’ro mount questline. You may have to use the Survey ability well over 500 times to acquire the required fragments. Each time you survey a section of a dig site in Highmountain, you can earn up to five Bone Fragments.

Once you’ve surveyed a few dozen dig sites across Highmountain, return to Lessah Moonwater in Thunder Totem to complete the quest and earn the Spirit of Eche’ro mount.
The Spirit of Eche’ro should be available to earn on WoW’s servers for the next two weeks (Aug. 10 to 24). If you miss your opportunity to find 600 Bone Fragments, the quest will be available to complete again next year.
