'''Riding''' is a secondary [[profession]] in which [[character]]s may learn to ride [[mount]]s, which provide movement speed bonuses and, when applicable, the ability to fly. As of [[Patch 4.0.1]], increasing riding skill grants further increases to movement speed. All ground mounts increase movement speed by 60/100% ([[Apprentice]]/[[Journeyman]]) and all flying mounts increase ground movement speed by 100% and flying movement speed by 150/280/310% ([[Expert]]/[[Artisan]]/[[Master]]). |

Revision as of 17:18, 1 November 2020
Riding (Profession) | |
---|---|
Riding is a secondary profession in which characters may learn to ride mounts, which provide movement speed bonuses and, when applicable, the ability to fly. As of Patch 4.0.1, increasing riding skill grants further increases to movement speed. All ground mounts increase movement speed by 60/100% (Apprentice/Journeyman) and all flying mounts increase ground movement speed by 100% and flying movement speed by 150/280/310% (Expert/Artisan/Master).
More detail on the requirements for each mount can be found on the mounts page.
Skill levels
The following table lists the skill levels available and the cost to train each skill. Due to the high cost of training, the price with discount is also listed in the table. The only discounts available are faction discounts, which vary depending on where you train in the riding skill:
- Apprentice and Journeyman riding are discounted based on your standing with whatever race you buy them from. All playable races have trainers.
- Expert riding can be discounted by buying it in Honor Hold or Thrallmar, which will apply a Stormwind or Orgrimmar discount, respectively.
- Artisan riding can be discounted in Honor Hold (Stormwind reputation is used to determine the discount of riding skill) or Thrallmar in the same fashion as Expert, or it can be discounted with Valiance Expedition and Warsong Offensive rep by going to Valiance Keep and Warsong Hold, respectively.
Also, note that the prices listed for the mount itself refer to the basic mounts available to each race, usually purchasable from a vendor near the riding trainer. Special, reputation reward, or vanity mounts may cost more or require special currency to purchase. To save space, faction discounts on the mounts themselves are not included in the table.
Skill | Proficiency | Riding | Friendly | Honored | Revered | Exalted | Required for | Necessary level |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
75 | Apprentice | 10 | 9 50 | 9 | 8 50 | 8 | Mounted riding (+60% movement speed) | 10 |
150 | Journeyman | 50 | 47 50 | 45 | 42 50 | 40 | Faster mounted riding (+100%) | 20 with Apprentice |
225 | Expert | 250 | 237 50 | 225 | 212 50 | 200 | Mounted flying (+150% in the air) | 30 with Journeyman |
375 | Master | 5,000 | 4,750 | 4,500 | 4,250 | 4,000 | Fastest mounted flying (+310%) | 40 with Expert |
Total Price | 5,310 10 | 5,044 59 50 | 4,779 9 | 4,513 58 50 | 4,248 8 |
Free riding skills
- Death Knights receive the 150 skill at character creation (level 55); they learn to summon an Acherus Deathcharger (ability), a swift land mount, as a quest reward in the Acherus starting zone.
- Paladins and Warlocks receive the 75 skill as soon as they reach level 10, and as of Patch 5.0.3, automatically learn the spell to summon their class mount.
- Gladiator awards Master Riding, which is automatically received when learning the Custom Gladiator Mount. What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been did the same until Patch 5.0.3 upon using the [Reins of the Violet Proto-Drake], but this was removed when the mount became available account-wide.
- All classes receive the 225 skill at level 71.
- Draenor flying is rewarded to the player once they complete [Draenor Pathfinder], unlocking flying for all characters on the account.
- Increased Broken Isles mount speed and flying for all characters come from [Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part One] and Part 2 respectively.
- Increased Argus mount speed for all characters is awarded from [Explore Argus].
- Allied races receive the 75 skill upon character creation (level 10).
Note that like all professions, all lower ranked skill levels must be learned before training further (e.g. Expert skill is required to train Master skill).
This is a summary of the initial class mounts. Obsolete quests for the paladin and warlock mounts have since been removed from the game.

- Hotfix (2006-09-28): We will be issuing rolling restarts across all realms [...] to apply a hot fix that will address an issue with mount riding skills. Players that had a mount in their inventory but were not given the appropriate riding skill should find that this has been corrected after this fix is applied.
- Patch 1.12.1 (2006-09-26): The cost structure and functionality of Riding and Mounts was changed.
- Prior to that patch, Riding was an ability rather than a secondary Profession, and had only one rank. Each faction had its own riding skill (tiger riding, horse riding, mechanostrider piloting, ram riding) and the cost was 20, available at level 40. Exalted reputation was required to learn cross-faction riding skill, but mounts were Bind on Use and purchasable by anyone for 80. This meant that characters who were PvP rank 3 or higher could pass on the 10% discount directly to other characters by buying the mount for them. This is no longer possible because all mounts are now Bind on Pickup, and the majority of the cost is built into the riding skill training (which is no longer faction-specific) rather than the cost of the mount.
