A Highmountain Thunderhoof boost, or Highmountain Thunderhoof carry, is the Highmountain tauren recruitment from Legion patch 7.3.5. The mount journal calls the Thunderhoof a gift from the tauren who trained this sure-footed highland moose to cross the mountain paths. You earn it by bringing their tribes into the Horde.
The chain begins with Ji Firepaw at the Orgrimmar Embassy and the quest A Feast for Our Kin. From there the recruitment runs through sixteen steps with the Highmountain tribes before it comes back to Orgrimmar.
The last quest, Together We Are the Horde!, is turned in to Ji Firepaw. It rewards the Highmountain Thunderhoof and unlocks the Highmountain tauren for new characters.
Since patch 10.1.5 the recruitment only needs a level 40 Horde character. The old requirements, Exalted with the Highmountain Tribe and the achievement Ain't No Mountain High Enough, are gone. The recruitment quests can be done once per account. We sell the Thunderhoof at a fixed price with no options; it is a ground mount. The Horde's other allied race mount you can order is the Zandalari Direhorn; the full list is in the mounts section.
Finish the Highmountain tauren recruitment questline. Its last quest, Together We Are the Horde!, rewards the mount.
