Do you need to have epic ground mount before buying flying? In TBC.
No, just the skill. However mounts are cheap, skill is expensive, so it doesnt make a diffrence.
- Apprentice (75) - Regular ground mount
- Journeyman (150) - Epic ground mount
- Expert (225) - Regular flying mount
- Master (300) - Epic flying Mount
If I recall correctly.
Technically, no. You will however need the “epic” riding skill before you can learn to fly (assuming blizzard doesn’t make changes to the system for classic tbc). I’m not sure why anyone would want to enter Outland on a 60% ground mount though.
Is it now 100% confirmed that tbc classic us coming ? Or can we expect some announcement in blizconn ?
No, but the announcement is expected during blizzcon.
Thx.i started playing back in tbc .fond memories .might start playing classic for it

I’ll give you friendly advice:
if you have 60% mount and can postpone purchase of 100% until pre-patch TBC relase, then you may save about 300g.

Having a epic mount in your inventory before the prepatch grants (granted back in the day, atleast) you Journeyman Riding (150) in TBC.
Currently the cheapest ones are PvP Mounts (100g), ZG/Stratholme (Free) and the AV Mount (640g). The other regular “Epic mounts” are 800g, with Rank 3 and Honored.
In TBC Journeyman Riding will be 900g. A Epic mount will be around 100g.
How would waiting, and postponing, save him 300g? Am I missing something here?

Before the expansion, the cost of level 150 riding was 900g, so the total cost of getting an epic mount was the same as before. It has since been reduced to 600 to make it easier to buy the level 225 riding skill.
What are you even quoting?
There is no level “150 riding” before the expansion, its simply [mount] riding, example “Wolf Riding 300/300”.
Or do expect them to change it (or adjust the price) two times, once for prepatch and once for TBC?
Fist of all Classic for some reason does not include riding skill revamp which was originally implemented in patch 1.12.1. It turned the mount system upside down but total prices remained the same.
The moment TBC released 150 riding were reduced to 600g.
And this is little mistake I’ve made, it’s not prepatch but TBC relase when prices will be reduced.

Christ instead of waiting that long, you could just suck it up and get AV rep exalted 650g … job done
Pretty fast on AV weekends
I’m sure it is especially doable with over an hour queues.
Besides it takes way longer to reach Exalted than farm that difference in price.
Well, that explains the confusion. If the skill is priced 600g at release (like it was), then obviously gold can be saved by waiting. I made the calculations based on a price of 900g.
Cheers!
Source? Where do you get the 600g price from?

1.5 months after the patch in question blizzard’s info claimed 900g base price for the riding skill.
Thx for the advice .i will keep that in mind
As alliance it’s significantly faster to just farm the 260g extra (The AV mount is 640g at exalted and rank 3)
I’m not sure what you are even trying to say. The link you provided which supposedly falsifies my info is from 8th Nov 2006. TBC released on 16th Jan next year. How is the 1st supposedly 1.5 month after the latter?
True but if you like PvP and ranking I suppose it makes sense haha.
Personally think 100% pays for itself, doesn’t take that long farming made the money in Winterspring grinding last few days.
Good to save some money on alts if you don’t plan on playing them until TBC however
Nvm. Prices were changed with TBC release.
