==Description==
'''Mounts''' are a much sought after form of transportation in which players ride atop the backs of various more or less exotic beasts (or machinations). [[Warlock]]s, [[Paladin]]s and [[Death Knight]]s can learn to summon mounts as a class perk. Mounted travel is almost always faster than walking/running (some vanity mounts such as the [[Sea Turtle (mount)]] provide only circumstantial speed boosts). [[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade]] introduced flying mounts in select areas, which further increased the maximum possible player movement speed. [[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]] introduced flying to [[Kalimdor]] and the [[Eastern Kingdoms]], as well as the new areas exclusive to the expansion.
 
  +
I think this little fellow will be a good match for you.
   
  +
This cub is going to require a lot of attention to ensure that he grows up strong and healthy. You should check up on your cub at least once each day. Feeding and caring for your Winterspring cub is the best way to build a bond of trust with him.
Mounts were generally expensive in the past, but their prices have been reduced while the training to ride them increased in order to compensate. However, some mounts do not cost any gold or other currencies (such as [[honor point]]s) and will drop at very low rates from bosses in instances such as [[Stratholme]], [[Eye (Tempest Keep)|Tempest Keep]], [[Magisters' Terrace]], [[Sethekk Halls]], [[Karazhan]], and [[Utgarde Pinnacle]]. There are numerous other methods to obtain mounts as well, such as class quests, completing [[achievement]]s, and even playing the [[Trading Card Game]].
 
   
  +
As your cub grows, he will shed his old whiskers and grow new ones appropriate to his size. Once your cub has shed twenty whiskers, bring him back to me along with some materials for your saddle.
Mounts have a 1.5 second cast time, which will be interrupted by taking any damage, moving, or entering combat. Mounts also have a special emote that can be seen by either jumping (the {{keypress|Space}} key by default) while not moving or performing the <code>/[[mountspecial]]</code> slash command. For example hawkstriders will shriek.

==Rewards==
== Riding skills and abilities ==
 
  +
You will receive:

  +
{{itembox||Reins of the Winterspring Frostsaber}}
[[File:Warhorse-charger.jpg|thumb|150px|Blood Knights riding their Horde paladin mounts.]]
 
   
  +
==Progress==
Since patch 4.0.1 most mounts no longer have intrinsic values for speed; their speed is dependent only on the player's riding skill.
 
  +
...
   
  +
==Completion==
Ground mounts cannot fly and flying mounts will instantly dismount the rider if they enter water. However, ground mounts can swim (but not any faster than swimming without the mount). There are two aquatic mounts, one that can be used anywhere but only moves at +60% swimspeed and can walk on land, and another that can only be used underwater in [[Vashj'ir]] but moves at +450% swim speed. Vanity mounts confer no benefits (and thus, require no riding skill or character level).
 
  +
...
   
  +
==Notes==
=== Apprentice: Level 20 ===
 
  +
This quest will take at minimum twenty days to complete, as [[Winterspring Cub Whisker]]s are only rewarded from daily quests offered by the Winterspring Cub. So, once daily, head to Winterspring, call the Winterspring Cub, complete its daily quest, then go back to civilization.
Apprentice riding skill (75) costs {{cost|4}} for training and an additional {{cost|1}} for each mount, both reduced by the appropriate [[reputation]] discounts. Increases mounted movement speed by 60%.
 
   
  +
==Quest progression==
At level 20, warlocks and paladins can learn the spells [[Summon Felsteed]] and [[Summon Warhorse]] at the cost of {{cost|1}} from their class trainers, which grants them apprentice [[riding]] skill. Additionally, [[worgen (playable)|worgen]] learn [[Running Wild]] at level 20, which functions as their racial mount.
 
  +
...
   
  +
==Patches and hotfixes==
=== Journeyman: Level 40 ===
 
  +
*{{Patch 4.1.0|note=Added.}}
Journeyman riding skill (150) costs {{cost|50}} for training and an additional {{cost|10}} for each mount, both reduced by the appropriate reputation discounts. Increases mounted movement speed by 100%.
 
 
At level 40, paladins and warlocks can learn {{ability|Summon Charger}} and {{ability|Dreadsteed}} from their class trainers after learning the Journeyman riding skill from the riding trainer. There is no need to purchase a new mount. [[Death knight]]s receive their epic ground mount, the {{ability|Acherus Deathcharger (ability)|Acherus Deathcharger}}, after the completion of the quests {{quest|Grand Theft Palomino}} and {{quest|Into the Realm of Shadows}} at level 55.
 
 
=== Expert: Level 60 ===
 
Expert riding skill (225) costs {{cost|250}} for training and an additional {{cost|50}} for each mount, both reduced by the appropriate reputation discounts. Increases mounted movement speed by 150% in the air and 100% on the ground. Flying in [[Northrend]] requires Cold Weather Flying training, while flying in [[Eastern Kingdoms]] and [[Kalimdor]] requires a Flight Master's License (see below).
 
 
Druids can learn {{ability|Flight Form}} from any druid trainer at level 60 for {{cost|3}}, which grants them expert [[riding]] skill for next to nothing.
 
 
=== Flight Master's License: Level 60 ===
 
The [[Flight Master's License]] (often referred to as "Old Weather Flying") costs {{cost|250}} and unlocks the ability for players to fly in the [[Eastern Kingdoms]] and [[Kalimdor]] excluding the zones that requires The Burning Crusade expansion (like Eversong Woods and Ghostlands), much like [[Cold Weather Flying]] can at 68 for flight in [[Northrend]]. It requires level 60 and 225 skill. It also requires purchasers to have ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]'' attached to their account.
 
 
This ability is not required for Cold Weather Flying or any higher skill tier.
 
 
=== Cold Weather Flying: Level 68 ===
 
The [[Cold Weather Flying]] skill costs {{cost|500}}. This non-discountable training grants players the ability to also use their flying mounts in Northrend and requires level 68 and expert riding skill. Before [[Patch 4.0.1]], only level 80 characters were are able to buy this training directly for {{cost|1000}}. In [[Patch 3.2.0]], a [[Bind to Account|bind to account]] heirloom, the {{loot|heirloom|Tome of Cold Weather Flight}}, was made available for level 80 characters to purchase for {{cost|1000}}, which allowed characters of level 68 to learn the spell making flight in Northrend possible from an even earlier level. Patch 4.0.1 made the tome redundant, so it was removed.
 
 
This ability is not required for any higher skill tier or flying on [[Outland]].
 
 
=== Artisan: Level 70 ===
 
Artisan riding skill (300) costs {{cost|5,000}}, reduced by the appropriate reputation discounts. Increases mounted movement speed by 100% on the ground and 280% in the air. No class-granted abilities award artisan flying, although the Druid ability {{ability|Swift Flight Form}} requires it.
 
 
=== Master: Level 80 ===
 
Master riding skill (375) costs {{cost|5,000}} for training, reduced by the appropriate reputation discount. Introduced with Patch 4.0.1, no mounts require it, but it increases the air speed of all flying mounts to +310%. However, any characters that already had a 310% speed flying mount pre-4.0.1 were given this skill automatically and free of charge with 4.0.1. Adding {{loot|epic|Reins of the Violet Proto-Drake}} to your collection also awards Master riding.

== Increasing your speed==
 
===Through class abilities and talents===
 
[[File:Trollsraptors.jpg|thumb|Two trolls riding raptors.]]
 
[[Shaman]] and [[druids]] acquire shapeshift forms that increase their movement speed (not as much as a mount, but it is trainable at an earlier level), while hunters get [[aspect]]s to boost their own movement speed and that of their party. Rogues and druids in cat form have an ability to temporarily increase movement speed. Here are the skills and abilities that provide some classes with a bit of a faster movement speed, either passively or by the activation of an ability.
 
 
* {{Class|Death Knight}}
 
** [[On a Pale Horse]] in the Frost tree (tier 2). Increases your speed while mounted by 10%/20%. The mounted movement speed increase does not stack with other effects.
 
* {{Class|Hunter}}
 
** [[Pathfinding]] in the Beast Mastery talent tree (tier 2). Increases your speed while mounted by 5%/10%. The mounted movement speed increase does not stack with other effects.
 
*{{Class|Paladin}}
 
** [[Pursuit of Justice]] in the Retribution talent tree (tier 2). Increases your movement speed (and mounted movement speed) by 8%/15%. This does not stack with other speed increasing effects.
 
** [[Crusader Aura]] at level 62. Movement speed while mounted is increased by 20%. The mounted movement speed increase does not stack with other effects.
 
 
===Through items and enchants===
 
There are five other methods for increasing your mounted speed, with no effects beyond level 70:
 
 
* {{loot|enchant|Enchant Gloves - Riding Skill}}: +2% (stacking), world drop [[Enchanting]] recipe
 
* {{item|Carrot on a Stick}}: +3% (stacking), reward from the {{quest|Gahz'rilla|Gahz'rilla quest}} in [[Zul'Farrak]].
 
* {{item|Mithril Spurs}}: +4% (stacking), world drop [[Blacksmithing]] plans
 
* {{item|Riding Crop}}:[[File:Bc icon.gif]] +10% (non-stacking), [[Leatherworking]] pattern sold in [[Old Hillsbrad Foothills]].
 
* {{item|Skybreaker Whip}}:[[File:Bc icon.gif]] +10% (non-stacking), quest reward from {{Questlong|Neutral|70|Dragonmaw Race: Captain Skyshatter}}, must be Honored with [[Netherwing]].
 
 
These last two items effectively increase a mount's speed by 10%. However, they do not stack with the previously mentioned methods, so they are approximately (see below) a 1% improvement over using the above 3 items combined. It should be also noted that for players of [[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King|WotLK]] the [[Riding Crop]] is only usable for two levels (69 and 70), and the [[Skybreaker Whip]] only for one level (70).
 
 
All speed improvement items work on both normal and flying mounts (with the exception of npc controlled point-to-point flight).
 
 
{{wotlk-inline}} Characters higher than level 70 will not benefit from mount speed improvement items and enchants. Blizzard's design goal is to eliminate the trinkets, but they've had technical issues with an implementation of an alternate system.<ref>http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=9336669931&pageNo=1&sid=2000#1</ref>
 
 
===Statistics===
 
The first three effects act as percent multipliers of your total mounted speed, stacking with previous multipliers. Thus, if you have spurs but nothing else, your normal mount speed will be increased to about 166.4% ((100% + 60%) * 1.04 = 166.4%). These numbers were obtained experimentally using a position-tracking addon written specifically for this purpose.

== Available mounts ==
 
The tables below are separated based on mount source, such as purchase requirements, killing specific creatures, participating in world events, completing achievements or more.
 
 
=== Racial mounts ===
 
Racial land mounts are typically the first mounts players will acquire. To purchase a racial land mount, players must either purchase their race's mount (such as horses for humans, or wolves for orcs), or gain [[exalted]] standing with that race's representative faction (such as exalted with [[Darnassus]] to purchase sabers). Flying mounts do not require any reputation rating.
 
 
[[Worgen (playable)|Worgen]] are an exception and do not have purchasable mounts, but instead learn [[Running Wild]] at level 20. Running Wild functions exactly like mount as far as the game is concerned, but using the player's model instead of some mount. Running Wild confers the standard 60% speed bonus from level 20 to 39, then unlock 100% speed at level 40. Other Alliance races cannot learn Running Wild, but worgen can learn other mounts.

===Class-specific mounts===
 
There are four classes in the game that can acquire special mounts and abilities linked to their own class through lore: [[death knight]]s, [[druid]]s, [[paladin]]s, and [[warlock]]s. The original quests to gain the paladin charger, warlock dreadsteed, and druid's swift flight form are all still in-game and reward feats of strength if they are completed. The aforementioned quests are not required to learn the ability, however, and are on the class trainers at the level listed in the table.
 
 
Druid and paladin abilities are slightly different based on race and faction. For example, the Alliance charger is blue and golden, while the Horde version is red and bronze. Similarly, night elf druids are black in flight form, while tauren are tan. With ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm|Cataclysm]]'', [[tauren]] and [[draenei]] paladins receive [[Sunwalker Kodo]] and [[Exarch's Elekk]], respectively, in place of chargers.

Rarely, specific creatures will drop a mount as a reward. If the mount drops, only ''one'' mount will appear per kill, no matter the size of the party or raid killing the creature. Also, mounts may rarely be inside other containers rewarded for doing other objectives.

=== Guaranteed drop mounts ===
 
A guaranteed drop mount will result in ''one'' mount being awarded upon killing the specified creature under the condition listed, regardless of the size of the party or raid. For mounts rewarded such that everyone who completes the achievement gets the mount, see the "[[#Achievement system mounts|Achievements]]" section. There is no direct achievement for killing the Time-Lost Proto-Drake; the hard part is actually finding the drake alive.

=== Holiday mounts ===
 
There are several disguises and time-limited items that are available during holidays. Disguises simply turn the player's mount into something "more festive" like a kodo or a reindeer but do not otherwise affect mount mechanics. Time-limited items exist only during the duration of the holiday itself. Previously, time-limited items had a set time such as seven or 14 days, but were changed to be directly tied to the holiday.
 
 
Back during [[Brewfest]] 2007, an {{loot|common|Honorary Brewer Hand Stamp|"Honorary Brewer" Hand Stamp}} was available for purchase and granted access to the {{loot|rare|Brewfest Ram}} and {{loot|epic|Swift Brewfest Ram}} vendors. {{NPC||Coren Direbrew}} (the holiday boss in the [[Grim Guzzler]] of [[Blackrock Depths]]) had not yet been implemented, so completing the quest was the only way to get the mounts. The hand stamp was removed for the 2008 Brewfest and the Swift Brewfest Ram added to Coren Direbrew's loot table (along with the new {{loot|epic|Great Brewfest Kodo}}), but the 60%-speed Brewfest Ram can no longer be purchased except by players who completed the Hand Stamp quest.

==Outside of game mounts==
 
The mounts in previous sections are acquired using solely in-game means. The mounts that follow require some real-world interactions, such as getting a rare loot card in the TCG, going to BlizzCon, or purchasing mounts from the Blizzard Store.
 
 
===Trading Card Game mounts===
 
{{tcg-section}}
 
All the [[World of Warcraft Trading Card Game|TCG]] mounts must first be unlocked using a code found on a [[World of Warcraft Trading Card Game#Loot cards|loot card]], then they can be purchased from {{NPC||Landro Longshot}} in [[Booty Bay]].

== Flying mounts in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms ==
 
[[File:Stormwind City from above pre-Cataclysm.jpg|thumb|With careful use of [[Eagle Eye]] or [[Far Sight]], it was possible to see why Flying Mounts were not allowed in the old world until the Cataclysm expansion hit.]]
 
At [[BlizzCon 2009]] it was revealed that flying mounts would be available in some form to use in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms with the release ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm|Cataclysm]]''. Blizzard officials had previously stated that it was unlikely that they would allow flying mounts in these continents since doing so would require them to redesign the continents with flying mounts in mind.
 
 
The former state of the [[Eastern Kingdoms]] and [[Kalimdor]] was unsuitable for flying mounts; there were visual glitches like mountains and high buildings whose tops could not be seen, and places where the terrain abruptly changed from one tileset to another, creating a grossly unrealistic appearance in some areas. There were also zones which should be there lore-wise but were empty and unfinished.

== Notes ==
 
* Mounts have a [[mountspecial|special emote]] they can do: This can be invoked while motionless on the ground, either by the <code>/mountspecial</code> slash command, or by pressing the {{keypress|Space}} key
 
* Flying mounts can perform a loop! Press Pitch Up or Pitch Down (normally {{keypress|Ins}} and {{keypress|Del}}) while in flight to perform a loop. On a macintosh, the {{keypress|Help}} key, or the {{keypress|Fn|Del}} combination (on the laptop) will start it.
 
* Additionally, while in a loop, you can use your strafe keys.
 
* Mounts that allow passengers (the two choppers, the {{loot|epic|Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth|Grand Ice Mammoth}}, the {{loot|epic|Reins of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth|Traveler's Tundra Mammoth}} and {{loot|epic|Reins of the Grand Black War Mammoth|Grand Black War Mammoth}}) allow other characters to ride as passengers. Currently, the only two flying mounts that allow passengers is the [[Recruit-A-Friend]] mount, the {{loot|epic|X-53 Touring Rocket‎‎}}, and the [[Vial of the Sands]] mount the [[Sandstone Drake]].

Start Rivern Frostwind
End Rivern Frostwind
Level 85 (Requires 50)
Category Winterspring
Rewards Ability mount pinktiger [Reins of the Winterspring Frostsaber]
Previous Get Them While They're Young

Template:Forq

Objectives

Accumulate 20 Winterspring Cub Whiskers shed by your Ability mount pinktiger [Winterspring Cub]. Bring the whiskers, 20 Runecloth, 20 Rugged Leather, and 80 gold to Rivern Frostwind.

Description

I think this little fellow will be a good match for you.

This cub is going to require a lot of attention to ensure that he grows up strong and healthy. You should check up on your cub at least once each day. Feeding and caring for your Winterspring cub is the best way to build a bond of trust with him.

As your cub grows, he will shed his old whiskers and grow new ones appropriate to his size. Once your cub has shed twenty whiskers, bring him back to me along with some materials for your saddle.

Rewards

You will receive:

Ability mount pinktiger [Reins of the Winterspring Frostsaber]

Progress

Completion

Notes

This quest will take at minimum twenty days to complete, as Winterspring Cub Whiskers are only rewarded from daily quests offered by the Winterspring Cub. So, once daily, head to Winterspring, call the Winterspring Cub, complete its daily quest, then go back to civilization.
