World of Warcraft Classic – Buying and Using Mounts
Buying and Using Mounts
When you hit level 40, you are eligible to train to ride a mount appropriate for your race, and to buy that mount. Mounts allow you to move faster than you could while running. At the level cap of 60, you can train and buy epic mounts, which run faster still. Both types cost a significant amount of gold, given your level, and are frequently some of the larger purchases characters make. Level 40 characters potentially sacrifice learning their spells for a few levels to make up for it.
Warlocks and Paladins get mounts from quest lines associated with their class, which are typically also not entirely free. And druids and shamans get travel forms at low levels, allowing them to run faster than normal characters but slower than mounts.
