The Return of a Hidden Mount: Xy Trustee’s Gearglider in WoW

For years, Xy Trustee’s Gearglider was nothing more than a forgotten file buried deep in the World of Warcraft game data. Originally added back in Patch 9.1 under the name “Pilfered Gearglider”, this sleek, mechanical flying mount was never made obtainable — no drop source, no vendor, no quest. Nothing.

With the launch of Patch 11.2: The War Within, Blizzard officially renamed the mount to Xy Trustee’s Gearglider, hinting that it might finally become available to players for the first time ever.

This mount has had no known source for over 4 years. It sat in the game files since the Shadowlands era, sparking tons of speculation in the WoW mount-collector community. Now, with its new name and reappearance in the official model viewer, players are buzzing — is it tied to a secret achievement, new vendor, or maybe an upcoming trading post reward?

Patch Added: Originally in 9.1, now updated in Patch 11.2

Final Thoughts This could be one of those “blink and you miss it” mounts Blizzard throws in with limited-time availability. It’s highly likely that Xy Trustee’s Gearglider will appear in future patch content, events, or even as a Trading Post exclusive.
