In the next major content patch, we intend to adjust mount requirements to further improve the leveling experience in World of Warcraft. In addition, cast times for summoning all mounts will be reduced to 1.5 seconds, down from 3 seconds. The following is a breakdown of the upcoming cost and level requirement changes we are making for each riding skill.

Apprentice Riding (Skill 75)

    * 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

Oh sure, the only one my mining bitch hasn't bought yet stays the same cost.  Having the epic land mount at 40 will be nice, though.

Well..

Now I feel like I started playing the game too early.    o.o

that's...freaking awesome.

Yeah! I am going to stop levelling my healer until 3.2 now!
