Druid mount question

Ok, at 30 druids get travel form really cheaply. At 40 do we go to the trainer for a travel form upgrade or do we go for the “regular” 100g mounts?

You get the regular mount.

The only travel form you get is the one you get at 30.

the regular mount. There isn’t a better version of travel form in classic ^.^ so save up. Fortunately if you don’t have enough for it, travel form isn’t bad at all. It’s only a small difference, but a much bigger one when it’s 100%

Thanks guys. Guess I’d better start dancing on mailboxes.

There is no such thing as a “travel form upgrade”. Cheetah is it. If you want to go faster, you buy the mount. But cheetah is almost as fast, and instant cast, so druid already has it nicer than everyone else. You also get stealth, sprint, and a water form with speed+infinite breath.

For short distances, travel form is fine. If you’re planning in traveling for more than several seconds, mounting up makes more sense.

I honestly haven’t purchased the mount yet, cat/travel form works just fine for now.

Plus I need to save for the Warden Staff. :sweat_smile:

Regular mount may or may be worth it at 40 for a druid, up to you.

The mount is only 10% faster than travel form. It’s up to you, but keep in mind that you get about 2.5g per Stocks treasure chest run, which includes auctioning the cloth and any blue gear you find and vendoring the greens.

Just get the two treasure chests and every mob standing in your way. Make sure to buy a dozen or so skeleton keys since they actually cost less than the silver amount you find in the chest.

10 runs is about 25g and a hunter could easily run those at 40. I don’t know about other classes though.

Travel form can go faster with the pvp set when pvp rewards come out. That might be a bit of a wait though. Adds 15% for 4 pieces of Lieutenant Commander’s Sanctuary/Champion’s Sanctuary sets.

Unfortunately you would need to get 4 pieces you would need to reach rank 8 of 14 which would take a considerable amount of time at level 60.

A level 40 mount will be a nice speed boost and a great option for now, but travel form will still be useful for short distances as it’s instant cast.

The mount cost can be reduced 10% if you are honored with your faction. Once pvp rewards are out, Rank 3(Sergeant) will also give a further 10% reduced cost at vendors.

I’m on BB, so PvP is a non issue, or at the very least seriously low priority. I just looked, and for a nelf saber I’m at a 28% discount (72g) which is nice. I don’t know what my discount is there other than rep.

I have to admit it’s fun that my similarly leveled guildies call me a showoff. For now I embrace my inner cheetah. Ty all for the advice.
