Mounts of Warhammer
DateTime:7/8/2009 5:21:12 PM

Mounts increase your character's movement speed by 50%, but are not usable in combat. If your character engages in combat while mounted, a cloud of dust stirs up around them and the mount dissapears.

Mounts are unique to each character's race and sometimes class:

High Elves - A white steed.
Empire - A brown steed.
Dwarves - A gyrocopter that levitates the Dwarf off the ground slightly.
Dark Elves - A cold one (a giant lizard).
Chaos - A dark steed.
Magus - An augmented disk.
Black Orcs - A giant boar.
Goblins - A rabid looking wolf

The Flight Master will only take you to other Flight Masters. Unlike some games, you do not need to scout out and unlock destination points before you can travel there. If you choose to do so, you can fly to the capital city almost immediately after character creation.

Short of the Flight Master's fast travel, your character will spend the first 20 levels of the game running around on foot, the old-fashioned way, uphill both hills in the snowstorm. At level 20, your character may purchase a mount for the hefty fee of 30 gold.Practicing a gathering trade skill such as scavenging or butchering from levels 1 to 20 will help your cash flow considerably.
