The Obsidian Nightwing with a passenger
Heart of the Nightwing was originally the third special mount that players can earn only through the Recruit-A-Friend program. It first became available to players claiming their RAF reward after July 16, 2012. Obtaining this mount grants the Feat of Strength achievement [Friends In Places Higher Yet].
In patch 5.4.1, the Recruit-A-Friend program was updated to include a choice of one mount from all current and previous Recruit-A-Friend mounts, or one companion from event-only promotions.
Mount Journal
When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't crawl you find someone to carry you.
Letter
The mount is mailed in-game to the character you select from Master Handler Sylvester. With the item is a unique letter written up as a shipping manifest:
Grasped tightly and clutched to one's breast, this enchanted heart of volcanic glass can transform the bearer into an Obsidian Nightwing.
Notes
- Prior to its being removed as a reward for Recruit-A-Friend, this mount was one of only two mounts which allowed the player to transform into a flying mount capable of carrying another player on their back, the other being the
[Vial of the Sands].
- In the past, some players have reported that this item can appear as an extremely rare find during Archaeology, although this was possibly due to a glitch.[citation needed]
