If you go train Master Riding (310%) Make sure you do NOT train in Dalaran. Train in Warsong Hold or Valiance Keep so you can get a discount, if you're exalted, it's 4k gold instead of the 5k.

310% speed is the sexy!
I'm gonna be super cheap though if I come back and just level up my 70 Shamans with 310% speed already. Paladins seem like they took a beating with all the complaints everyone got.

I can't check now:(
What's the use of learning it now, when you don't have 310% mount?
My mounts still show 280% speed (dont have any 310% mounts)
*sigh*
Nvm, tooltip changed after a few mounts and dismounts.... now it's 310%
This looks to be the case, yes.Quote:

If you already had a 310% mount learned before 4.01 then you automatically get the 310% "Master" mount skill.
Apart from that you have to buy the 310% skill now.
what I like the most is that now ALL my flying mounts are 310% and all landmounts are 100%. And I do find the horses you get at level 20 prettier than the ones you can buy later. So great you can use them now and not feel like a turtle.
Hmm I didn't know that about the lvl 20 mounts. Could ride some lvl 20 elephants but damn they look a bit sickly =)
mounts speed is not tied to the mount anymore. its tied to your skill. Like the DK flying mount that speed up as they mount skill up.Quote:

In the past i just mounted a slow flying mount on my lvl 80 when touring and boosting with my lowbies ... CRAP

Yeah someone with a turtle please speak up =) hopefully they didn't mess with it's swim speed by mistake
Will have to put the 80, with the faster riding skill on follow, behind toons with a slower mount.
I had to buy a slower mount with a Druid I used for boosting, since once you learn the epic flyer you lose the slow flyer. All good, as they're all 80th with epic flying now.
Nah, it's not that bad. Discount applies to both riding skills.Quote:

They added a change now that if you get a violet proto, it'll give you the 310% training for free when you mount it, only takes 280% training to learn it.

if there is my apologies, but I haven't found it.
Just use a low level alt as the master. =)
Is an extra 4k gold (a.k.a. 16k-20k per team) really worth it to get some where 7.3% faster? [ (30%) /(410%) ]
Not for me, world PvP takes place on the ground, and I haven't had to chase people to kill them since the days of solo-boxing a warlock :p
Thank you 4x VPD, I don't have to buy this ;P
Yep! It isn't as if when you're flying around you absolutely need to have your higher level character in the lead.Quote:
