The Vandal’s Gearglider and The Bone Freezer are mounts that are rewards from quests that will send you to the Manaforge Vandals renown quartermaster. However, each mount requires renown with the Manaforge Vandals before being able to gain access to the quests.
Vandal's Gearglider
A rarer, customized glider most commonly used for clandestine gatherings. Its silence makes it near impossible to detect, making it a favored tool for those who work in the shadows.
The Bone Freezer
Bitter rival to The Bone Melter, this creeper was ousted from their lair near Manaforge Omega after a crushing defeat. It now seeks to learn from the one that dethroned its greatest foe.
The Manaforge Vandals is a reputation that is tied to the raid Manaforge Omega, gaining reputation with this faction is done exclusively by defeating Raid Bosses and named elite mobs known as Horrors of The Forge within the Raid.
Each of the mounts require you to hit certain levels with the Manaforge Vandals renown before gaining access to the quests.
| Mounts | Renown Level |
| Vandal’s Gearglider | Renown Level 8 |
| The Bone Freezer | Renown Level 14 |
This guide will show you how to unlock the Manaforge Vandals renown, where the renown quartermaster is located and how to gain reputation with the Manaforge Vandals Renown as quickly as possible.
If you need any help with the raid bosses we have a guide for each of the bosses inside Manaforge Omega to make this journey as smooth as possible.
Unlocking the Manaforge Vandals Raid Renown and Quartermaster Location
Before you start killing bosses and named elites inside the raid, you will first need to unlock the Manaforge Vandals raid renown, this is done easily by completing the Meet the Vandals quest; this quest can be picked up from Zo’turu. After picking up the quest simply speak with Zo’turu again to turn in the quest.

You can get this quest by flying right over to Shadow Point, or you can follow the campaign as you will eventually get sent to Shadow Point as part of the campaign. After completing this quest, you can begin killing the bosses and named elites each week for the reputation.
Zo’turu is also the renown quartermaster for the Manaforge Vandals and will be the person you are speaking to throughout gaining reputation and renown levels.
How to Earn Reputation with the Manaforge Vandals
To gain reputation with the Manaforge Vandals, and progress through the Renown Track, you will need to defeat Raid Bosses (on any difficulty) and the 4 named Horrors of The Forge within Manaforge Omega.
Each week a total amount of 5000 reputation will be available if you kill every boss and every Horror of The Forge. Each renown level requires 2500 reputation, giving this reputation grind from 0-15 an 8 week timeline.
Important Things to Note:
- This reputation is Warbound, which means there is no benefit to doing this on multiple characters, each boss and named elite mob can only be defeated once per week (on any difficulty).
- You gain the same amount of reputation on all raid difficulties, there is no added benefit from defeating it on a higher difficulty level.
- As of 16/10/25 Blizzard has “greatly increased” the reputation gain for players who are significantly behind the current cap, this seems to have doubled the reputation gain from bosses for players who were 3 or more levels behind the current cap.
Reputation Breakdown by Boss and Horrors of The Forge
The reputation rewarded is different per boss, increasing as you progress through the raid. The first six bosses of the raid will give you 400 reputation each, after this the 7th boss Nexus-King Salhadaar will give you 600 reputation and 8th boss Dimensius, the All Devouring giving you 1,000 reputation.
There are also 4 elite named mobs known as Horrors of the Forge, each of these will give you 250 reputation for the first kill of each week, rewarding 1,000 reputation in total per week.
| Bosses or Mobs | Weekly Reputation Granted |
| Horrors of The Forge x 4 | 250 Each (1,000 Total) |
| Plexus Sentinel | 400 (800 if you are behind the cap) |
| Loom’ithar | 400 (800 if you are behind the cap) |
| Souldbinder Nazzindhri | 400 (800 if you are behind the cap) |
| Forgeweaver Araz | 400 (800 if you are behind the cap) |
| The Soul Hunters | 400 (800 if you are behind the cap) |
| Fractillus | 400 (800 if you are behind the cap) |
| Nexus-King Salhadaar | 600 (1,200 if you are behind the cap) |
| Dimensius, the All Devouring | 1,000 (2,000 if you are behind the cap) |
The 4 Horrors of the Forge are located around the Manaforge Omega raid in different positions.
- Darkmage Zadus is located just after the first boss before you travel over to The Forge Core
- Watcher Gaz’kreth is located in the Technomancers Terrace on the way to Forgeweaver Araz
- The Bone Melter is located just before entering the Fractillus boss arena
- Enforcer Jak’tull is located on the way to Nexus-King Salhadaar
To summarise, If you are looking to gain as much reputation as possible and get done with the grind as soon as you can, you will need to kill all 8 bosses along with the 4 Horrors of the Forge each week to gain the maximum amount of reputation possible. After getting the renown levels for each of the mounts, you will get a quest to speak to Zo'turu, the renown quartermaster, who is just outside the raid entrance in Shadow Point.
