Overview

WoW Forever's mount system kicks in at level 40, giving you the ability to vastly increase your mobility.

Much like WoW Classic, you will learn your riding skill from your class trainer and subsequently purchase mounts from them. There are subtle nuances involving discounts and the reputation system alongside opportunities to purchase rarer, more exotic mounts which will be covered in this guide.

Once WoW Forever launches, this guide will be updated with further information around the topic.

Mounts, Class Mounts and Costs

Skill Tier	Required Level	Training Cost	Mount Cost	Mount Speed
Apprentice Riding	40	100g	20g	60%
Journeyman Riding	60	1,000g	200g	100%

Class Mounts:

If you play an Warlock or Paladin, you will be pleased to hear you do not need to go through the laborious task of stockpiling gold early game. Instead, you can learn how to ride your own class specific mounts through class quest chains. Forsaken Paladin also gets their own mount in WoW Forever.

Reputation Discounts:

Gaining honoured status with your race's home faction grants you a 10% discount on both the mount and training costs

Gaining exalted status with other factions also enables you to purchase other race's mounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What mounts are available in WoW Forever? How do you get them?

WoW Forever includes the traditional racial mounts that players of WoW Classic will already be familiar with. Alongside this, new mounts have also been introduced. These can be obtained by players through riding training, class quests, reputation grinds, PvP, Legacy System Rewards and a variety of in-game activities such as drops from dungeon and raid bosses.

The best way to collect mounts is to combine regular levelling with reputation progression, class quests and reward-track activities.

2. What level can you get a mount in WoW Forever? How much does riding training cost?

Level 40. Apprentice Riding costs 100g. The mount costs 20g.

3. What are the rarest mounts in WoW Forever? How do you unlock them?

Whilst there is not yet a definitive list or ranking of the rarest mounts in WoW Forever by ownership, it is very safe to assume there will be some incredible "chase" mounts to acquire.

These will be tied to progression systems, reputation, special rewards or potentially rare drops. Examples include the Spectral Bear, Pack Kodo and exclusive Galestrider variants.

If you're interested in collecting rare mounts, you will need to prioritise long-term rewards and reputation grinds rather than simply grinding dungeons and raids. One of the most infamous mounts to acquire in classic was Rivendare's Deathcharger and, despite some people's best efforts, they were never united with this particular mount. It is safe to assume that WoW Forever will have more of this approach, ensuring that certain mounts truly stop people in their tracks as you race past them!

4. Are mounts account-wide in WoW Forever?

Yes. All mounts are account-wide and are shared across rule sets. The exception to this rule is there is no crossover between hardcore and non-hardcore characters. This means that once you collect a mount you AND your alts can use it. Altoholics... REJOICE!
