World-of-warcraft – Is it worth buying paid mount in WoW

world of warcraft

I am very casual gamer when it comes to WoW. I rarely play this game and I get really bored many times when it comes to traveling far distances. I thinking of buying premium mounts from the store to save time.

I did not find any extra information other than the price. This is what I want to know about these mounts.

  • Swift Windsteed
  • Armored Bloodwing
  • Winged Guardian
  • Heart of the Aspects
  • Celestial Steed
  1. Can I use them immediately? irrespective of level? I am now level 23
  2. Speed of these mounts?
  3. Is it tradable? or bound?

1 and 2 are very important for me.

According to the info it sais:

so saddle up, because this supernatural warhorse will fly as fast as your riding skill will take you, and it will travel at 310% speed if you have at least one other 310% mount. Once activated, this in-game pet key applies to all present and future World of Warcraft characters on a single European or Russian Battle.net account.

So your answers are:

  1. Yes as long as you have a riding skill (lvl 20 minimum).
  2. They scale according to your riding skill so if you have 90% run speed then that is the max you can get. If you are lvl 80 and have 310% flying speed then that is the speed they will have.
  3. They are bound, but you get them for every character you create.

In short, the store mounts are purely cosmetic. They will not get you higher speed sooner than the regular mounts.
