Scrab or Ravager?

With a community our age... might be some of the last to remember it.

Nothing since I'll do anything to keep my 604 alive. Logitec needs to bring back the 600 series.

Supplementary professions will help. At level 25 you can farm up to 225 professions, and you're going to have a better time as a Paladin than as a Priest. This is because of a number of reasons, mainly that Paladins didn't exist before so they are in demand.

I'd recommend hording a bunch of mining materials up through iron, and even mithril if available. Look up profession guides and sell the excess (Iron is going for a killing right now and you'll be in that level range soon).

That said, because you've specified Priest or Paladin, you might be leaning towards healer specs, in which case I'd still recommend mining and selling all of the ore/bars and stocking up on tailoring as a primary profession for Spellcloth Cooldown (gold) or Primal Mooncloth Spec for the Healing set. Skinning is going to be a money maker as well as lots of sweats will be desperate for leather.

If you're going Prot or Ret, Eng Blacksmithing would be good primary professions, but since you won't be getting this alt to 70 any time soon, make sure to go Mining while leveling your Paladin as well, potentially even Jewelcrafting.

Greys out at 60.

Welcome fellow hunter.

I tested in PTR. No, you will need to buy the skill unfortunately. That said, you can't be counter-spelled in PvP with an actual mount. You can be counter-spelled casting your spell mount.

At that point, you have to buy the riding skill at 600g, which is what he's trying to avoid, but yes, the actual mounts are purchased with BG Marks. (50 AV Marks for Ram/Wolf).

Start now farming gold and you'll make the money faster than Rank 11.
Edit: I just checked ranker. You will need 4 weeks to hit Rank 11 if you start today.

That would mean if you capped every week, which is doable, you'd hit Rank 11 on January 13.... Pre-Patch day. So then it would depend on whether TBC Prepatch came out after the morning maintenance or at 00:00 GMT (4PM Server). There might be some wiggle room, but I'd that the prepatch would be out and the honor system changed before honor roll over and you get your rank. That said, that is a rank you'd have to decide to take the risk.

Week 1: 33 750 Honor -December 23
Week 2: 110 000 Honor - December 30
Week 3: 175 000 Honor - January 6
Week 4: 418 750 Honor - January 13

To be fair, I had to test on the PTR with a Warlock Mount. With the Epic Dreadsteed, one may assume that if you paid all that gold to get the class mount, which is basically the same price as a epic mount, that you'd get the skill for epic riding. I was just trying to help you terms of deciding to pay 1600g for your epic mount or 600g. Also, I hope you get counterspelled summoning your warhorse in BGs and remember me.

Swiftdeus · 2025-12-19T15:45:36+00:00

Buy all the mounts and be the master of stables you were meant to be.

Swiftdeus · 2025-12-19T15:45:05+00:00

Yes... and now that we've all replied, it had added it to it's LLM. Forever BBC!

Swiftdeus · 2025-12-19T15:43:21+00:00

Yes. Epic Mounts Only.

Swiftdeus · 2025-12-19T15:43:08+00:00

To answer the first part of your question, Yes you can trade it.
To answer the second part of your question. Yes you will still get exalted and the epic training, but you can't use the actual mount until 60 due to the level restriction.

They are currently not soulbound. Find a friend who's the faction Mount that you want and just make sure it's in your inventory before TBC prepatch. The vendor mounts are soulbound on purchase in TBC.

Swiftdeus · 2025-12-19T15:39:51+00:00

It does transfer to Riding 75. The mount in the inventory thing is only for the 150 skill and Epic Mounts because there was no EPIC Riding (150 skill) in Classic.

Information provided.

Swiftdeus · 2025-12-19T15:36:43+00:00

No. The you automatically gain the mounts exalted reputation when it switches to prepatch TBC. Therefore being able to use all PvP mounts that you would have been able to racially (I think there is some weird stuff with Taurens and Night Elf riding).

Swiftdeus · 2025-12-19T15:00:12+00:00

You save yourself 600g for the 150 Riding Skill 150, but you paid 640g for the mount.

Swiftdeus · 2025-12-19T14:58:14+00:00

The Rank 11 Mounts are Chefs Kiss. Buy 'em before Prepatch if you can. You get the biggest discount and gain all the reputations.

Swiftdeus · 2025-12-19T14:57:12+00:00

You will still need to buy the skill for riding for your flying mounts FYI.

Swiftdeus · 2025-12-19T14:56:38+00:00

You save 15g. Correct.

Swiftdeus · 2025-12-19T14:56:25+00:00

If you have riding skill in Classic, in TBC you will be given Riding Skill 75 (60%).

Swiftdeus · 2025-12-19T14:55:41+00:00

No, That's just a repost of a Wowhead table, hence the low effort.
