Subject: Mount Changes Questions and Answers
  
Hi everyone,

Because I keep seeing these questions pop-up, and because some of my previous answers have been lost to the forum monsters I'm going to post the info I currently have regarding the mount changes. This is how the mount changes work as I understand it, they may change before 1.12.1 goes live.

After 1.12.1 goes live there will only be one riding skill that will work with all mounts. The skill currently has 2 ranks Apprentice(75) and Journeyman(150).
  • Apprentice(75) skill will be required for all superior(blue) level 40 mounts, the Rank 11 PVP mounts and the superior(blue) AQ40 mounts.

  • Journeyman(150) skill will be required for all epic(purple) level 60 mounts, the AV faction reward mounts and the epic dropped mounts (Deathcharger, Raptor etc.).

  • Warlocks and Paladins who complete their mount quests will be given Apprentice(75) and
  • Journeyman(150) upon completion of the quests.

  • All mounts will be bind on pickup and have a level requirement.

  • Purchasing a non-racial mount will require exalted reputation with that faction.


  • When the patch goes live the following changes will take place:
  • Characters who have a mount in their inventory(backpack or bank) will be granted the skill level necessary to use it even if they are not yet the level necessary to use the mount.

  • Players with the Rank 11 PVP mounts will be granted Journeyman(150) skill.

  • Players with Riding skill but no mount will be granted Apprentice(75) skill.

  • Paladins and Warlocks who have already completed their level 40 and level 60 mount quests will be granted Apprentice(75) and Journeyman(150) respectively.

  • Mounts in the mail or on the auction house at the time 1.12.1 goes live will not grant skill to anyone, so I would suggest making sure you have mounts in your inventory or the bank.

  • There is currently a bug that is preventing players lower then level 40 who transfer to the PTR with a mount from getting the correct riding skill, we are aware of this and working to resolve it.
