BG Mount question

[Blahblah]

Can i get it at lvl 49? if so can i ride it outside of BG and is it easy to get the tokens for it?

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but in order to get a BG mount you needed to have 30 tokens from each BG. In order to actually ride it you will need the appropriate riding skill (and the riding skill is now the pricey one, not the mount). As far as getting all the tokens, you should be able to get 30 of each WSG and AB, but at your level you will not be able to get into a game of AV.

So no, you can't. But I would say, money pending, you could realistically have it around the mid 50's.

So this means a warlock will have to pay for the riding skills? if so i dont think i will be getting one

[Your Average WoW Player]

Actually I think the riding skill is somehow included in the quest chain to get your mount. I might be mistaken though.

[Blahblah]

I didnt quest for it, just brought the skill off the trainer for 90silver

That's for the normal mount and riding skill, the epic riding skill is required for bg mounts (I think?) and comes with lock and pally epic mount quests.

Doesn't the epic mount riding skill require lvl 60? If not then you could get it at lvl 51 I guess, money depending. And yes you can ride it outside of the BG's.

[Turdfergison]

you must be lvl 60 for an epic mount. Yes it can be ridden either in or our of BG. I bought both my regular and epic mount from normal class vender and was able to ride either or outside and inside of BG

[iamthejuggler]

The only mounts that have location dependencies are the flying mounts which can be ridden only in Outland. (not sure if the AQ mount can only be ridden there as i've never been!)

I understand that the AQ mounts, with the exception of the black one (!), can only be used in AQ40.

Yes, I was wrong in my original statement. You wont be able to use it until reaching 60.

I guess that just means I really don't have to make it mandatory to do AVs every night since I'm still 6 levels and 20 tokens away.

The Warlock and Paladin quests for the non-epic and epic ground mounts include the necessary riding skill. Anyone that would pay for the non-epic riding skill rather than do a trivial quest has too much money :wink:. Skipping the epic mount quests is more understandable, especially now that the epic mount training is cheaper than the mats for the quests used to cost and the epic mount quests are NOT trivial.

In addition, the druid flight form grants the druid the non-epic flying mount skill, though the epic ground mount riding skill is a prerequisite.

[iamthejuggler]

It is hardly trivial, at least the warlock one. And nowadays it can be a real pain getting people to go to scholo/DM as they would much rather be in outlands. I've had to go three times since TBC to help guildies and it's starting to drive me mad!

I'm sure they appreciated it though....hopefully.

[geospawn]

hmmm .. guys ... anyone know where and how much it costs to get the Panther Epic Mount?

[iamthejuggler]

You mean the pvp one?

it costs 30 of each token (AV, AB and WSG).
