Notes

• Instead of the term "mounts," I will use the word "mount" - it's more familiar and shorter.

• Only non-flying mounts are described.

• The article is made with a focus on the localized version of the game, but all mounts also include their original names.

• The emphasis is on three things: screenshots of all mounts, brief information, and a short description of how to acquire each of them. You will not find information for newbies about where to find the necessary mob, how to learn riding skill, and so on here.

• If any mount is for sale, I indicate its base price. The actual price usually depends on your reputation with the merchant's faction and will most often not be significantly lower than the base price.

• Almost all mounts follow this rule: +60% speed requires 75 riding skill and level 20, +100% requires 150 skill and level 40, respectively. Therefore, I will mention restrictions on riding skill and level only for mounts that do not fall under this rule.

• At the time of writing, the current game version is 3.2.2.

Chapter 1. Class Mounts.

Warlocks, paladins, and death knights can summon their unique mounts. Players of other classes do not have access to such mounts. In total, this chapter describes 7 mounts.
