'''Acolytes''' are [[human]] beings who have given themselves over to the power of [[Ner'zhul]] and the [[Scourge]]. These bitter, fanatical men and women will stop at nothing to promote the [[Lich King]]'s will and maintain the secrecy and dominance of the [[Cult of the Damned]]. They view their own deaths and the possibility of becoming undead as the ultimate rewards for their service to Ner'zhul.

== BC Mount Use in Azeroth ==

The wiki says:
 
−
"The mounts are only usable with these skills and have the ability to fly in Outland. These mounts can not be used in Azeroth."
 
−
Does this mean that they cannot *fly* in azeroth, or that they cannot be summoned *at all* in azeroth?

Acolytes summon a [[Haunted Gold Mine]]. They can then collect Gold using their magical powers. Acolytes do not need to carry Gold from the Haunted Gold mine to the Necropolis. You can place up to 5 Acolytes on a Haunted Gold Mine. Haunted Gold Mines do not need to be placed on [[Blight]]. Acolytes Unsummon Haunted Gold Mines after they are empty.
   
  +
== Spells and Abilities ==

Yes, that's fine. Since mounts are soulbound, you can't sell or give them to anybody, and actually I'm pretty sure you can't even vendor them. Good luck with that Exalted rep though. You need it.

The info I added about warlocks/paladins automatically receiving riding skill when they complete their quests *might* be incorrect. When the 1.12->1.12.1 transfer occurred, those classes automatically got riding skill appropriate to the mount they had received without needing to have had a racial riding skill. This suggests that we won't ever need to purchase riding skill if we level a warlock/paladin to level 40/60 and complete the class mount quests post 1.12.1, but I might be wrong. -- [[User:Jaxdahl|Jaxdahl]] 13:21, 27 September 2006 (EDT)

== Epic Mount Changes ==
 
−

It appears that the cost of epic mounts has changed with 2.01. As of that patch, having revered status with Darnassus dropped the price of training from 810g to 540g for my night elf hunter, while the price of the mount itself remained the same (90g). This is a reduction of 1/3 or roughly 66% for going from honored to revered where prior to the patch there was no change. This reduction is also without the 10% due to PvP rank three as this character had only reached rank two before the patch. My wife and I are currently researching if there are additional benefits to being exaulted, and will post those results when available. <small>—The preceding [[WoWWiki:Signature|unsigned]] comment was added by {{User|Jemarsil}}.</small>

::Ok, here's what I'm trying to understand then... Yesterday, when I tried to purchase the riding skill (150) at honored, it was going to cost me 810g. When I went back to purchase the same riding skill at revered, it only cost me 540g. Again, this is without the PvP discount which, although everyone is talking about it, I have not seen it. My wife and I have only started purchasing our epic mount training within the past few weeks and there has been no difference between our chracters that were rank 2 PvP or rank 5. I'm just trying to understand what everyone is talking about on the different websites, and how it correlates to what I'm seeing in-game.

I wanted to add instructions on how to do tricks on your flying mount to this article but not sure how to best fit it in.

Where does it say it wil require Artisan Riding? Why would a mount which Requires one to be Exalted AND cost the player 2,000g no less Require 300 riding? Even if it is Swift, because of the requisits it seems to be a fair middle ground. You are able to ride Swiftly (Like The WinterTrainers Frostsaber Mount, 75 riding, +100% speed) Yet does not Require the highest Skill, so you will not be able to partake in other activites, like grinding Netherdrake rep and having other exotic mounts. --[[User:KoalaMeatPie|KoalaMeatPie]] 07:55, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Tauren can also ride Brewfest Rams and Swift Brewfest Rams, for what its worth. This probably isn't a big issue since the Rams are only available once per year and only a few people are probably willing to put in the effort to farm 600 prize tickets, but somewhere there's going to be some Tauren wondering "Can I ride this...?"

I have one on my Druid, so I can take a pic if someone wants it.

−
As a side note, you must be level 40 to purchase either ram because the item that unlocks buying them requires level 40. You don't have to have the necessary riding skill to buy them, and if you have the gold you can buy both the regular and swift ram at the same time.

:Update: if you had gotten the brewfest hand stamp (the quest item that gave you the ability to purchase the rams) in 2007, you still have the ability to purchase the rams at this year's brewfest, but there's no way to earn the hand stamp now. They are exceedingly rare drops from Coren in BRD. --[[User:Azaram|Azaram]] ([[User talk:Azaram|talk]]) 08:08, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

It was attempted to highlight the BC mounts differently (using hard coded colours, which break monobook), but I am wondering - how much separation should there be in people's opinions? {{User:Kirkburn/Sig4}} 00:45, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'm good at math, but I'm kind of confused at how they got those totals. 492% flying mount speed? I thought that there was only a few increases in speed. Could someone please explain to me how they got those numbers? [[User:Jclipps|Jclipps]] 00:55, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 
−  
−
:looks like a typographical error. They typed 380% instead of 280% for epic flying speed, and then all the rest of the numbers were wrong.
 
−  
−
So when using items or auras, it doesn't add the percent, it takes n% of what you have and adds that?
 
−
For example: it would be 280% flying + crusader aura would not equal 300% but actually +(280x.2)=336%? [[User:Jclipps|jclipps]] ([[User talk:Jclipps|talk]]) 20:40, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

== Only Gnomes get mechanical mounts? ==
 
−  
−
"Mounts are a much sought after form of transportation in which players ride atop the backs of select Bind on Pickup creatures (and for gnomes, machines) of Azeroth and Outland. " I really think this should be edited to say " Bind on Pickup creatures or machines of Azeroth and outland" as with the addition of engineering flying mounts, and the fact that a dwarf can utilize the gnomish mount, stating "and for gnomes, machines" is a bold misrepresentation. Dwarves can machine too! Also, druids can ride around on a flying machine. Seem strange to anyone else? Anyways, I did not feel comfortable just editing this, as I ran across a petty exchange on whether a gun's firing action was chemically induced, or mechanically induced. I guess I am a little gun shy nooblet.--[[User:Bipper|Bipper]] 14:10, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

The class mounts are listed under the Discounts section, which was not at all intuitive for me when I was trying to find the DK flying mount. (I didn't know its name.)

== Stealth Update for Flying Mounts? ==
 
−

The standard and swift flying mounts (windriders and gryphons) are now available from Mei Francis. Seeing as she is listed as Kirin Tor, the prices for these might be cheaper based on rep. I'm unable to confirm this at the moment since I currently have zero rep with Kirin Tor; anyone with better rep care to confirm? Although this wouldn't help any level 70's trying to get their epic flyer, it might save you some gold if you're trying to collect mounts.

Acolytes are human beings who have given themselves over to the power of Ner'zhul and the Scourge. These bitter, fanatical men and women will stop at nothing to promote the Lich King's will and maintain the secrecy and dominance of the Cult of the Damned. They view their own deaths and the possibility of becoming undead as the ultimate rewards for their service to Ner'zhul.

Information

Acolytes can be Sacrificed at the Sacrificial Pit to create Shades.

Acolytes do not need to maintain buildings under construction. Buildings will continue construction on their own (like StarCraft Protoss).

Acolytes summon a Haunted Gold Mine. They can then collect Gold using their magical powers. Acolytes do not need to carry Gold from the Haunted Gold mine to the Necropolis. You can place up to 5 Acolytes on a Haunted Gold Mine. Haunted Gold Mines do not need to be placed on Blight. Acolytes Unsummon Haunted Gold Mines after they are empty.
