 orld of Warcraft offers a variety of mounts for the different races of Azeroth. Humans, for example, generally ride horses, and Orcs tend to favor their trusted wolf mounts. A mount is a special type of permanent pet that a player can own. Using one requires the riding talent, and with extensive training, riding specialists will be able to use mounts not generally available to their particular race.
More than mere status symbols, mounts allow players to travel over land more quickly than on foot. When a player is mounted, he or she has full control over the mount. To avoid exploiting monsters, players cannot attack while mounted. Also, monsters are unable to attack mounts. Instead, when a player is mounted, all attacks and damage are directed at the player and not at the mount. If a player dies while on a mount, the mount will "unsummon" and be available for "resummoning" once the player reenters the world of the living.

Owning a mount is an impressive accomplishment in the game (not to mention the fact that it makes you look cool).
|
|
|
Modified emotes are available for when you're on a mount.
|
|
|
|
|
The mounts for each race can differ in appearance. For instance, wolves' fur can be gray, white, black, or other colors.
|
|
|
Some quests are related to mounts. Paladins can talk to the paladin trainers Duthroian Rall, Brandur Ironhammer or Knight-Lord Bloodvalor.
|
|
|
Your mount automatically "unsummons" when you go indoors, and can be resummoned when you go outdoors again.
|
|
|
Flying mounts can be obtained in Outland at level 70. These mounts can only be used in Outland.
|
|
|
Mounts are available to everyone at level 20. The mount requires Apprentice Riding and is 60% faster than walking.
A second faster mount is available at level 40. This mount requires Journeyman Riding and is
100% faster than walking. Before being able to ride these mounts, you must first get training from the
trainer. Some prices may vary depending on faction.
|
|
|
Players can purchase and train mounts from other races in their faction. However,
you will first need to obtain "exalted" reputation status with that race in order to do so.
Mounts of the opposing faction are not available for purchase.

|
Warlocks and Paladins have a level 20 and level 40 quest for their special mounts.
Paladin Epic Mount quest: To begin, talk to the paladin trainers Duthroian Rall, Brandur Ironhammer or Knight-Lord Bloodvalor.
Warlock Epic Mount quest: To begin, speak with a demon trainer in any of the capital cities: Kurgal, Martha Strain,
