Talk:Mount

Blood Elf and Draenei Mounts

Please don't put wishful thinking or speculation in for Blood Elf or Draenei mounts. If you have a good source (Blizzard rep, game magazine, newspaper, etc.) and link to it, go ahead and put something. --Fandyllic 6:18 PM PDT 2 Jun 2006

Tiger

i am a human mage, Lv 40 , and i bought one horse , but i want change the mount tiger when my repuation of Darnassus going to exalted, is that ok? and can i sell my mount?

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.

I was under the impression that you could take your mount to the stable and drop it off there so you can pick it up later on. Is that wrong? (I'm not 40, so I wouldn't know, and I plan to just have the warhorse anyways--I play a paladin.) Schmidt talk 00:24, 13 Oct 2005 (EDT)

Speed

I had previously heard somewhere (probably in Thottbot's comments, argh) that the maximum speed a player could go under their own power was 200%. Since then, I've gotten an epic mount, and I can also confirm that speed boosters work. I think with all 3 you can get up to 218%.

A few things

A few things....
1) Riding nether dragons wouldn't really make sense.
2) The riding silithid are all RARE except the ONE legendary one, which is black.
3) The blood elf mounts are likely to be unicorns.

Except for the 2) : bullshit ! (= Never speculate about WoW. The Nether Drakes were officially chosen and presentedand the Blood Elf mount is the cockatrice. I don't like people to be so sure of something => it makes being wrong harder.--Kirochi 19:00, 14 September 2006 (EDT)

General Info (1.12.1

Mounts, and the training needed to ride them, can be first purchased at level 40. Training costs 90 for Apprentice  [Riding Skill] and 900 for Journeyman  [Riding Skill]. There is only one skill to learn, but two levels of that skill.

There are four types of mounts:

Normal mount (level 40)

• 100 total (10 for the mount, 90 for the training)
  90 with Honored reputation 10% discount or PvP Rank 3 (Sergeant) 10% discount (9 for the mount, 81 for the training)
  80 with both Honored reputation and PvP Rank 3 discounts (8 for the mount, 72 for the training)
• Requires Apprentice  [Riding Skill]
• Increases movement speed: 60% faster than walking.
• Bind on Pickup

PvP Rank Reward mounts

• Requires you to have earned the PvP Rank of "Commander" or "Lieutenant General" (Honor Rank 11).
• 9 (Base price is 10, reduced by PvP Rank 3 (Sergeant) 10% discount. Mount sellers are not associated with a faction so you cannot get an Honored reputation 10% discount). Although the training 90 is affected by the Honored discount, so it would be 72.
• Increases movement speed: 100% faster than walking.
• Requires Apprentice  [Riding Skill].
• Exactly the same as an Epic mount, but a different color and lower riding skill.
• Bind on Pickup

Epic mounts (level 60)

• 100 for the mount, with a requirement of 150 Riding Skill (900)d.
  900 total (including training) with Honored reputation 10% discount or PvP Rank 3 (Sergeant) 10% discount.
  800 total (including training) with both Honored reputation and PvP Rank 3 discounts.
• Increases movement speed: 100% faster than walking.
• Requires Journeyman  [Riding Skill] (150).
• Epic mounts also have an exotic look compared to the normal mounts.
• Bind on Pickup

Put this in as updated information for when 1.12.1 goes live.--Cigawoot 09:27, 15 September 2006 (EDT)

Wintersabers?

Article currently states: "Wintersabers (requires Exalted with Wintersaber to buy the mount, and Darnussus to learn Tiger Riding. Note that Night Elves need only be Exalted with Wintersaber, since they can always learn Tiger Riding from Darnassus.)."

I don't think this is accurate. Unless this is referring to the ability to buy the mount as a human/dwarf/gnome by reaching Exalted, but there is no faction entitled "Wintersaber" that I'm aware of. --thermalnoise

Perhaps adding a link to Wintersaber Trainers would make this more clear? --Stfrn 19:09, 19 September 2006 (EDT)

Class Specific Mounts

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. -- Jaxdahl 13:21, 27 September 2006 (EDT)
