Which mounts are fast speed?

    Looking for a list of all the fast speed mounts.

    I thought the Flying Imperial Sokokar was but it seems not.

    Hmm thats interesting I didn't get a tell about it being the fast mount when I used it, nor when I used a slower mount afterwards.

    Looks like mine could be bugged, petition I guess.

    For the mounts that are flagged run2/fast... you need to look at the spell description in your buff window when you're on your mount. If the description only says "fast" then you are at Run2. If it says "Very Fast," then you are flagged for Fast mount. This difference in description may not be present for all of the Run2/Fast mounts, but I believe it's there for "most" of them.

    It's also unfortunate that they used Fast and Very Fast to differentiate between Run2 and Fast mounts because both of their descriptions may lead people to believe that they are already at the fastest mount... when that may not be true. It would have been cool if they had included a description that said "you've gone to plaid!" for the fastest mounts (Spaceballs reference).

    Also, I don't think the spell descriptions for other types of mounts will change at all. So, my Corrupted Sokokar doesn't say either Fast or Very Fast because they never included two different descriptions when this item was put in the game. I know it's Very Fast only because I run time trials with a bot that definitely is not fagged Very Fast, and I outrun him every time. You tend to get a feel for how fast you should be capable of going, and it just feels slower if it's not running at the speed you expect.

    Here's a list of all the mounts that run at the fastest speed. Be aware that checking the "fast/very fast" description in the buff is no longer a valid way to compare mount speed.

    More transparency from a dev. I'm loving this!

    Any chance that the rare random drop Strong Captured Cliknar Mount Saddle can be set to the highest speed by default? It's ridiculously rare enough that I shouldn't need to go get another horse to boost it if I'm lucky enough to ever see it.

    Appreciate that list though!
  10. Hayzeus Augur

    Hi Chandrok can you confirm if this list is only the list of mounts that run at the fastest speed straight out of the stable? BUT, if your character is flagged as an owner of *any* of the fastest speed mounts that you've listed here, then *any* other slower mount we have should also run at the fastest possible speed regardless of their nonexistance on your above noted list?

    I just want to ensure that I didn't misunderstand the last patch notes that said even my slow mounts (corrupted sokokar) will now run at the fastest speed because my character was flagged for the fastest mount (due to owning a glowing drum) as long as I use my fast-flagged drum at least once since the last patch.

    Glowing Black Drum = winner. Just gather a few items, throw 2 tickets to the casino, and get your DE mask and fastest-speed-that-isn't-knight-speed mount.
  12. Marshall Maathers Augur

    Ghostrider is the best combo of ease and looks.
  13. Hayzeus Augur

    Do I win any awards for the mother of all unfortunate typos?
  14. Hayzeus Augur

    You got that right. All of the items are purchasable in the bazaar. As you've stated, from there, it's only two Gold Tickets to guarantee a glowing drum. I have to admit I thought the DE mask would be unused, but I'm having fun messing with everyone that expects me to look Erudian.
  15. Fenthen aka Rath

    It's also useful in Neriak 4th Gate if you have yet to complete the basic quest to grant DE illusion there.
  16. Naugrin Augur

    That would make doing the quests for the Prime one pretty useless.

    I'm pretty sure raid speed = knight speed
  17. Yaldin Journeyman

    Enchanted Firethrower of Speed isn't a fast mount? I'm shocked - it seems like it - keeps up with the whirli mounts.
  18. Chandrok Augur

    This is how it works. All your mounts will move at the same speed as the fastest mount you have used on that character.
  19. Chandrok Augur

    This mount should indeed be in the above list. It seems to have been categorized incorrectly internally, leading to its exclusion.
  20. Beneden Lorekeeper

    Is there any chance of getting the stacking issues with the Gunthak Swabby's Eyepatch removed so we can use any mount that we own while still buffed?
