Are you jealous of the players riding around Sanctuary with the fantastic Dustback Steed mount and want to get one of your own in Diablo 4? Then we've got you covered.
This no-nonsense guide explains how players can get the Reins of the Dustback Steed item to drop for your hero in Diablo 4 and what you need to know about the rarity and region it drops in, so let's mount up and get started.
How To Get Reins of the Dustback Steed in Diablo 4
You first have to unlock the ability to ride mounts in Diablo 4 before you can use the Dustback Steed mount. However, you do not need to unlock mount riding to get the Reins of the Dustback Steed item to drop.
To get the Reins of the Dustback Steed item drop in Diablo 4, you will need to head to the Dry Steppes region. This is the only region where the rare mount drops. It can drop from enemies and chests in the region. We recommend doing Legion events as soon as they pop up in Dry Steppes for the best shot at getting it alongside Helltide in the region. Either way, the drop rate is low, so you might stay in Dry Steppes farming for quite a long time.
Since the Reins of the Dustback Steed can drop anywhere in the Dry Steppes region, we suggest ticking off some boxes, such as finding all waypoints, Altars of Lilith, and more while you farm and hope for this rare mount drop. Check out some of our helpful guides below.

It is really as simple as that to get this rare mount in Diablo 4. Remember, it does take a lot of grinding, and if luck is not on your side, you could spend weeks in Dry Steppes. Is it worth it? That's up to each player to decide...
