Let's talk about Mounts in WoW Forever! This is information gathered from the game, interviews and announcements. I'd imagine Blizzard will put out an official post explaining all of this at some point, so some details might not be 100% correct, but this seems to be roughly how it works. Obviously, we won't be able to test any of this on the Beta. The way Mount Training works in WoW Forever seems to be a combination of the Classic and TBC systems. You'll purchase two riding skills from your race-specific Riding Trainer: • Apprentice Riding: 100g (60% speed) • Journeyman Riding: 1000g (100% speed) On top of that, when you learn Apprentice Riding, you'll also unlock the ability to ride your race's specific type of Mount. • Human: Horse Riding • Dwarf: Ram Riding • Gnome: Mechanostrider Piloting • Night Elf: Tiger Riding • Orc: Wolf Riding • Undead: Skeletal Horse Riding • Tauren: Kodo Riding • Troll: Raptor Riding • Skyborne: Galestrider Riding Much like other versions of WoW, if you want to ride another race's Mount, you'll need to reach Exalted with their faction. For example, reaching Exalted with Stormwind City will unlock Horse Riding, allowing you to use Human Mounts. I'm not entirely sure whether this unlock happens automatically when you reach Exalted or if you'll need to purchase the riding skill separately. Something else we've learned is that your first 60% Mount will actually be FREE! However, if you want any additional Mounts or an Epic Mount, you'll need to purchase those separately. We don't know the specific gold amounts for Mounts but it'll likely be around 10g for non-epic and 100g for epic. Mounts in WoW Forever are account-wide! However, you'll still need to unlock the appropriate race-specific riding skills on each character to actually use them. Much like in Classic, Mounts do not scale with your Riding skill. A 60% Mount will always be 60% speed, and a 100% Mount will always be 100% speed. The one exception is the Veteran Adventurer's Loyal Companion from the WoW Forever Collection, which appears to scale with your riding skill. So if you own that Mount, you won't necessarily need to purchase an Epic Mount once you learn Journeyman Riding, as it'll automatically scale to 100% speed. Again, some of these details might change or turn out to work slightly differently once we can actually get our hands on them, but based on everything we've seen so far, this seems to be how Mounts will work in WoW Forever!
