100% Mount Speed at 40 in BGs?

[Piper-shadowsong]

@Philippos-sulfuras

will we need to buy 100% riding skill from trainer to use the 100% Stalker mount?

Yes.

@Philippos-sulfuras

Or will we be able to go 100% without buying the epic riding skill? Blues?

No.

EDIT:

@Faelis-arygos

it’s reasonable to assume you will still have to train the relevant riding for each mount level, as that’s how mounts have always worked in the past, even store and CE mounts

This link https://tbc.wowhead.com/spell=348459/reawakened-phase-hunter suggests the Mount is “Modified by Riding”.

[Philippos-sulfuras]

what’s the cost to train Epic 100% riding in TBC? anyone know?

[Chemosh-deviate-delight]

Two questions:

1.) Why do people think that this mount is 100%?

2.) Why would people be able to mount at 30? I played during TBC and leveled classic to 70 and couldn’t mount until level 40, was this added in later TBC patches that we are starting on?

[Jimmíhustler-sulfuras]

Datamined info from a youtuber with no in game testing.

I assume the mount will work the same as retail mounts, 40 is 60%, 60 is 100%, but it shows as a lv 40 mount on a lv 60 char so they can use it.

1,000g

@Chemosh-deviate-delight

Why do people think that this mount is 100%

Because some (not all) ignore context.

Here’s the only link that’s not a video that expresses this mount hits 100% Speed:
https://tbc.wowhead.com/spell=348459/reawakened-phase-hunter
The context here is the tab that days “Modified by Riding”.

@Chemosh-deviate-delight

Why would people be able to mount at 30? I played during TBC and leveled classic to 70 and couldn’t mount until level 40, was this added in later TBC patches that we are starting on

IDK if Blizz will follow that or not. But, it was mentioned in this artic3ke created back in 2008: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/wow-to-get-mounts-at-level-30

[Harmageddon-faerlina]

So I did a fair bit of research about the mount coming with the deluxe edition and I can safely say that it will have scaling mount speed. Firstly the argument, it would break the 30+ twink bracket meta/PVP and make it pay to win to be able to run down people without that mount.

Now the proof, I compared other TBC mount “spells.” so in this case https://tbc.wowhead.com/spell=34896/cobalt-war-talbuk
You can see in the text that it says “this is a very fast mount” and though it has mod mounted speed 100% it is categorized different than the warpstalker

https://tbc.wowhead.com/spell=348459/reawakened-phase-hunter#modified-by

If you look at the section next to Used by item, “modifed by” you’ll see it is modified by Riding skill Journeyman which the Talbuk spell lacks. This is reflected in the text, and you can toggle Journeyman riding which changes the text from “Summons and dismisses a rideable Phase-Hunter.” to "
Summons and dismisses a rideable Phase-Hunter. This is a very fast mount."
This information is generally data-mined by Wowhead so it is safe to assume that the warpstalker mount has scaling speed and you will still need to pay for the individual

[Jimmíhustler-sulfuras]

I frankly am unsure why they thought otherwise as I am sure blizzard remembers the sparkle pony controversy and mounts scaled with speed after that into eternity.

[Dreamsphere-westfall]

@Tihocan-mankrik

Maybe the YouTubers that are posting videos about it misunderstood

Youtubers/twitch streamers misunderstand everything, that’s how they get viewers. They make issues out of things that aren’t issues by blowing them out of proportion and trying to make them comparable to other bad things that’ve happened, when theres actually no relation.

[Bearyalln-tichondrius]

I feel like this is confusion, and it’s just a mount that can transition from a lvl 40 mount, to a 60 mount, but still requires training. I could be wrong though

[Sigillite-pagle]

@Faelis-arygos

no matter what your opinion is on store mounts, they have NEVER given you a mount speed faster than what you should have at your level, there’s no reason to believe that would change now

b-bu-but ! my anti narrative!

[Wulfram-atiesh]

I would guess you are right, it will scale just as mounts do in retail.

[Piper-shadowsong]

Looks like we finally got a Blue Post confirming more about the Mount:

@Kaivax

The mount will move at 60% speed if you do not have epic riding and it will move at 100% if you have epic riding.

[Jimmíhustler-sulfuras]

Was just going to do that.

[Daddyman-bigglesworth]

You were talking really big about how the mount was going to be 100% at level 30 in another thread.

All the points you made here about precedent and common sense of it being scalable I made to you yesterday in another thread. And you argued against me, lol.

You asked what I meant by you being a “kneejerk contrarian”. Well, here it is, lol.
You actively argued against common sense just “because”. You even doubled down on your terrible take when pressured too.

You’re a little poster focussing way too hard on trying to be “big” with reductive semantics against others. It’s not a good look kiddo.

Time to put your worthless posts on ignore.

[Crunchytaco-sulfuras]

I mean, that technically CAN happen now if you manage to reach rank 11 in the 40-49 bracket, lol.

uhh, do you have me confused for someone else? I was arguing the mount would not be 100% at level 30

you either have me confused for someone else, or you horribly misunderstood something I said previously

[Piper-shadowsong]

@Faelis-arygos

Right? I’ve seen you post around, and I have NEVER seen you advocate that the Mount would be 100% speed at 40, let alone 30 LOL

[Faelis-arygos]

maybe mr. orc is just my first anti-fan. yay, I’m popular!

Same LOL
