World of Warcraftfeatures many diverse options for completionists and fans of collecting cosmetic items, including collecting mounts, pets, and transmogrification gear. Mount collecting remains a popular pastime despite the introduction of Dragonriding mounts, which are required for flight inWorld of Warcraft’sDragonflightexpansion continent, Dragon Isles. A mindbogglingly vast collection of ground and flying mounts have been added to the game over the course of the last eighteen years. It’s safe to say that interest in mount collecting has not waned as Blizzard continues to deliver exotic and stylish new additions for players to obtain, including the new Big Slick in the City ground mount.
With therelease of Patch 10.1, Embers of Neltharion,World of Warcraftplayers were treated to a selection of new mounts to add to their collections. Among these mounts is the Winding Slitherdrake, a new Dragonriding mount, as well as several standard ground and flying mounts that have piqued players' interest. One mount that stands out isBig Slick in the City, a brightly colored, saddle-clad rock snail.

How to Get the Big Slick in the City Snail Mount in WoW: Dragonflight
Unlocking theBig Slick in the Citymount inWorld of Warcraftbecomes a relatively easy task once the player has unlocked to theGlimmerogg Racerfaction, though getting there does requirea bit of Renown grinding. However, the path to reaching maximum reputation level with the faction and earning the Big Slick in the City mount is heavily time-gated. The player can complete just one daily quest every day to earn reputation with the faction. Additional reputation can be gained through a series of one-time quests offering the player the opportunity to show off their skills in training snail battle pets. To get started with Glimmerogg Racer faction and earn Big Slick in the City mount, here’s what players will need to do:
Step 1: Unlock Zaralek Cavern and meet the Loamm Niffen
To start working toward their very own Big Slick in the City mount, the player must firstunlock Zaralek Cavernby finishing theBreaking Groundcampaign quest series. To begin this new chapter ofDragonflight’s story, the player must have completed the previous campaign quest series,Forbidden Reach. Once up to speed, players can start"The Land Beneath"by selecting the big Start Quest Now button on the What’s New menu, accessible upon login or from the game’s Esc game menu, or by accepting the quest from the main campaign quest tracker.
Step 2: Increase Renown with the Loamm Niffen to unlock the Glimmerogg Racer faction
In the initial stages of the Breaking Ground campaign quest series, players will venture into the newly introducedZaralak Cavernzone, an extensive cave system located beneath the Dragon Isles. In this zone, players encounter a peculiar group of molefolk known as theLoamm Niffen. After meeting their leader, Elder Honeypelt, and completing her quest series ending with the quest“Smells Like Loamm,”the player is awarded 2,500 reputation points with the faction, automatically boosting your standing toRenown 2andunlocking the first set of rewards.
To unlock theGlimmerogg Racerfaction inWorld of Warcraft, players must reachRenown 7 with the Loamm Niffen. There are four specific methods to increase Renown with this faction which, as expected, all involving participating in content within the Zaralek Cavern zone:
Upon reaching Renown 7 with the Loamm Niffen, a new quest will become available introducing players to a faction of cavern Drogbar who are extremely enthusiastic about the curious hobby of snail racing. To get started with the Glimmerogg Racer faction, fly down to the southern town of Glimmerogg and speak withBriggul, located atcoordinates (44.2, 80.0). There, players can pick up the quest"Come Snail Away,“and be introduced to Big Slick. Briggul will hand over the Conch Whistle quest item and the player’s snail racing training begins!
Step 3: Complete quests and max reputation with the Glimmerogg Racer faction
Each day, Briggul will offer a daily quest that will award100 reputationwith theGlimmerogg Racerfaction once completed. These quests have the player use the Conch Whistle to summon Big Slick and demonstrate their snail wrangling skills in Zaralak Caverns and other Dragon Isles locations.
Briggul will also offer one-time completion"Snailspiration"quests, asking the player to show him a variety of differentlevel 25 snail battle petsto further demonstrate their proficiency in snail training. There are fifteen of these quests in total, and each rewards100 reputationwith the Glimmerogg Racer faction. A list of the fifteen qualifying pets is available below, and information on how and where to find these pets by can be found in the in-game pet journal. It’s important to remember that the pet must be level 25 in order to count for a quest.

To reach the illustriousProfessionalrank with the Glimmerogg Racer faction, the player must earn a total of2800 reputation. However, besides the daily quest and showing off snail pets, there are no other ways to earn reputation with this faction, severely limiting potential daily reputation gains.
Completing Briggul’s daily quest will award just 100 reputation per day, and showing him all the snail battle pets rewards an additional 1500 reputation. Therefore, if the player skips showing Briggul any snail battle pets and just complete his daily quest, it will take 28 days to reach maximum reputation with the Glimmerogg Racer faction.
Once the player reaches maximum reputation with the Glimmerogg Racer faction, Briggul will offer his final quest,“Snailed It.“Simply speak with him again and, in celebration of the player’s amazing performance in the world of snail racing, Briggul will hand over theBig Slick in the Citymount.
