↖ How to Acquire Preserved Holly

First, get the Preserved Holly that is normally used for festive transformations of mounts. You can either collect five of these for free from the gifts under the tree in Orgrimmar or Ironforge or purchase them from the auction house at a price of about 2.5 silver each.

 

↖ How to Use Preserved Holly

This technique involves using preserved holly during flight paths. Let's take Lake Shire as an example: while on flight path, active Preserved Holly. It normally increases your speed by 60%, but the real magic happens upon landing.

 

↖ Logging Out and Back In

When you touch down without moving, log out and then log back in. This step is vital. When you return into the game, you will find yourself with a 60% speed increase like being mounted but without an actual mount.

 

 

↖ Speed Testing

Check that your movement is faster than another player moving at normal speed to confirm this speed boost. In essence, it duplicates the effect of being mounted because you will notice that your movements are much quicker than they should be.

 

↖ Advantages and Disadvantages

This improvised mount comes in handy when covering long distances such as traveling from Wetlands to Ironforge which cuts travel time by fifty percent. It also helps gather flight paths and Farming WoW SoD Gold before Phase 2 begins. Note that entering any building may dismount it but not sustaining damage so this mounts offers certain advantages in some situations.

 

↖ Conclusion

Whether you’re questing, gathering materials or simply exploring, this 60% speed mount can completely change gameplay. So, make the best use of it while you can since it might be patched in the future. Have fun with faster trips across Azeroth!
