Xal's Reins - Changelog

1.0.2 - August 19, 2026

Honestly, this one started because of my friends. A couple of them collect mounts, and every time I asked what they were using I'd get some version of "I installed it, opened it, and closed it again." The tools out there track everything in the game, which is genuinely impressive, but if all you want to know is which mounts you're still missing, you end up wading through a wall of checkboxes to get there.

So I built the opposite. Open it and the first thing you see is the mounts you can actually go and get on the character you're standing on - not every mount in the game, not the ones locked to the other faction, just what's in front of you. Click any of them and it tells you how to get it, and where the quest chain starts, without sending you off to a browser. That last part ended up mattering to me more than I expected. Alt-tabbing out to look something up breaks the whole flow of actually playing.

One fair warning: the step-by-step chains cover Midnight, The War Within and Dragonflight right now. Older mounts still show you where they come from, they just don't have the full walkthrough yet. I'm working backwards through the older expansions and those will land in future updates.

Thanks for giving it a try, and for being part of the Xal family.

🆕 New

• The tracker - a to-do list of mounts you don't own that your character can actually get. It shrinks as you collect.
• Click any mount for how to get it: who drops it, which vendor, which zone, and what it costs.
• Step-by-step chains for 247 mounts - the quests and reputations you need first, each ticking itself off against your character.
• Search every mount in the game, tagged so nothing vanishes because you're in the wrong zone or already own it.
• Raids and Dungeons tabs, a zone filter that follows you, and your collection in its own window.
