How to get Xy Trustee's Gearglider Mount

If you want to know how to get Xy Trustee's Gearglider mount, begin by making sure you meet the following requirements:

1. Reach Renown 8 with the Manaforge Vandals.
2. Many players report a fast catch-up: running bosses in Normal or LFR can grant large renown gains, sometimes taking only a few hours to reach Rank 8.
3. Have access to the Manaforge Omega raid on any difficulty (LFR, Normal, Heroic, or Mythic).
4. Obtain all three inscription-crafted Deal items: 
   1. Deal: Cartel Ba
   2. Deal: Cartel Om
   3. Deal: Cartel Zo

These Deals can be crafted by Scribes or bought on the Auction House. Normally, you can only activate one per week across your Warband, though some players have temporarily used all three at once by leaving and re-entering the raid — this may be an unintended bug. So, the good news is if you have all of these requirements met, you won’t have to worry about Xy Trustee's Gearglider drop rate, because it's a guaranteed reward for a quest that becomes available after you’ve collected all of those drops.

Step 1: Join Each Cartel Using Deals

Before you can begin collecting the hidden ciphers to get the Xy Trustee's Gearglider unlock, you must align yourself with the three broker cartels that operate around Manaforge Omega: Cartel Ba, Cartel Om, and Cartel Zo. Each cartel requires a written agreement known as a Deal — a contract crafted through Inscription that formally binds your Warband to that faction for one week.

Each Deal functions like a short-term renown contract. When you right-click it, your character immediately gains a cartel-specific title and buff for seven days, visibly confirming your allegiance. While that buff is active, you can see one unique hidden cipher inside Manaforge Omega belonging to that cartel.

Under normal circumstances, the Warband-wide restriction limits you to one active Deal per week, meaning you’ll need three separate weeks to represent all cartels. The order doesn’t matter — you can begin with Ba, Om, or Zo — as long as each buff has been active once.

However, some players have discovered that it’s sometimes possible to activate multiple Deals within the same week by using each contract one at a time, zoning in and out of the raid between activations. This appears to be an unintended bug, but if it still works for you, it allows all three cartel buffs to run simultaneously and lets you finish the secret in a single session instead of waiting for resets.

Once you’ve used a Deal, double-check your active buff bar before entering the raid to confirm the correct title (for example, “of Cartel Ba”). That confirmation ensures the cipher will appear for your character.

Step 2: Find the Hidden Cartel Ciphers in Manaforge Omega

 

Each cartel has a cipher (also called a “dead drop”) hidden in a specific part of the raid. They are small glowing devices only visible to members of that cartel.

You can find them on any difficulty, including LFR, but do not defeat Forgeweaver Araz until you have looted the Cartel Ba and Cartel Zo ciphers. Those become unreachable afterward.

If you miss one, you can redo the raid on a different difficulty the same week. You need all three to get the Xy Trustee's Gearglider WoW, so here are their locations.

Take your time moving along ledges or conduits—falling will reset your route.

Step 3 (Optional): Track Your Progress

As a sidestep in our WoW 11.2.5 secret mount guide, we’d like to share a script that will help you track the progress, which was created by one of the players who participated in searching the drops.

Once you’ve begun collecting the hidden cartel ciphers, it’s easy to lose track of which ones you’ve already looted. Since each cipher is tied to a hidden quest flag, the game doesn’t display them in your normal quest log or achievements. To help with this, the secret-finding community created a simple in-game script that checks your progress automatically.

Copy and paste the following line into your chat box and press Enter:

/run for _,a in ipairs({{"Ba",80},{"Om",81},{"Zo",79}})do local b=C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(92000+a[2])print("|cffffd000Cartel",a[1],"Cipher:|r|cff"..(b and "00ff" or "ff00").."00",b,"|r")end

When you run this command, you’ll see a short readout in your chat window listing all three cartels side by side. The results are color-coded for clarity:

• Green = You’ve already looted that cartel’s cipher.
• Red = You still need to collect it.

If you plan to work on the secret over several weeks, it helps to turn this script into a macro so you can check progress instantly without typing it each time. Open your macro window (/m), create a new macro, paste the script inside, and drag it to an action bar. Running it before each raid attempt ensures you never waste time revisiting completed drops.

Keep in mind that each cipher’s completion flag is permanent and shared across your Warband. Once it shows as complete in green, you never need to collect that cipher again—even on another character.

If the macro shows all three results in green, your character has successfully recovered every cartel cipher hidden within Manaforge Omega. That means the next step—returning to Shadow Point and speaking to Zo’turu—will trigger the final quest that awards both the Xy Trustee’s Gearglider mount and the Cartel Transmorpher toy.

Step 4: Complete the Final Quest

After collecting all three ciphers, exit the raid and go to Shadow Point just outside the Manaforge Omega entrance. This could be considered the Xy Trustee's Gearglider location. Speak with Zo’turu the Manaforge Vandals renown quartermaster.

He offers the quest Somebody Like Me. Completing it rewards both collectibles instantly:

• Xy Trustee's Gearglider mount
• Cartel Transmorpher toy

This completes the broker cartel storyline tied to the Manaforge Vandals.

Extra Tips

Here are some WoW Xy Trustee's Gearglider farm tips that you should know:

You can retry missed drops on another raid difficulty in the same week.

1. Using Deals doesn’t grant gameplay bonuses — they’re cosmetic and used only for this secret.
2. The Cartel Transmorpher toy provides a unique broker disguise that works anywhere.
3. The Xy Trustee's Gearglider shares its model with previous Gearglider mounts, though with slight broker-style details.

Since this mount and its unlock method have been hidden by the developers, and I love hidden objectives and conditions, it could be easy to fail for someone who hasn’t done this sort of thing before. Hopefully, these tips will help you get it right.

Conclusion

The Xy Trustee’s Gearglider is one of the more creative discoveries from The War Within—a reward that ties together inscription crafting, renown progression, and a hidden puzzle inside Manaforge Omega. While the mount itself shares its model with earlier Geargliders, the process of earning it feels unique thanks to the broker cartel contracts and secret raid locations.

If you’ve followed all the steps, you’ve now earned both the Xy Trustee’s Gearglider mount and the Cartel Transmorpher toy, along with the satisfaction of completing one of Patch 11.2’s most mysterious secrets. The entire process can be finished in a single session if the multi-contract trick still works, or over three weeks if you’re limited to one deal per reset.
