Upcoming Mount Changes in WoW Patch 3.2

Getting around Azeroth can be a little frustrating, particularly in the old world where flying mounts aren’t available and getting to that next zone can take a whole lot of running. As it stands, players have access to regular mounts at level 30, but come patch 3.2 (World of Warcraft’s next major content patch), there will be some major changes coming to mounts. The changes will affect both the level requirements and the price.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s coming with 3.2 with regard to mounts:

• 60% land mount speed
• Requires level 20
• Cost: 4 gold
• Mount cost: 1 gold
• Mail will be sent to players at level 20 guiding them to the riding trainer

Journeyman Riding (Skill 150)

• 100% land mount speed
• Requires level 40
• Cost: 50 gold
• Mount cost: 10 gold
• Mail will be sent to players at level 40 guiding them back to the riding trainer

Expert Riding (Skill 225)

• 150% flying mount speed; 60% land mount speed
• Requires level 60
• Cost: 600 gold (faction discounts now apply)
• Mount Cost: 50 gold
• Can now be learned in Honor Hold (Alliance) or Thrallmar (Horde)

Artisan Riding (Skill 300)

• 280% flying mount speed; 100% land mount speed
• Requires level 70
• Cost: 5,000 gold (faction discounts now apply)
• Mount Cost: 100 gold

Currently there doesn’t seem to be any official announcements regarding the 5000g pricetag on the epic flying mounts, but that doesn’t mean that Blizzard doesn’t intend to lower it sometime in the future. They’ve lowered everything else, so why not? Perhaps they’ll eventually make even faster flying mounts more readily available to players. But for now, these changes should be pretty good news for those just starting out and wanting to catch up to friends and family, or to those altoholics who like starting from scratch.

Patch 3.2 has no official release date, but is expected sometime before the end of the year. Hopefully.
