Northrend Loaned Flying Mounts = Awesome

[arcadiaware]

As far as I know, this isn't a repost. I did search and found nothing. If this is in face a repost, feel free to link the post.

At level 77 those of us that are too broke to afford Northrend flying can apprently rent a loaned flying mount from "Honest" Max at K3 in The Storm Peaks. The mounts available are:

Loaned Wind Rider Reins
Loaned Gryphon Reins

The mount is free, it flies, but it moves at walking speed. It's a pain if you need it to explore, but it does have some handy uses.

You can mount while moving.



You can mount in combat.


You can even mount while falling.


I believe if you purchase Northrend flying you're unable to get the free mount, but I was able to get the free mount, then I purchased Northrend flying, and I still have the loaned mount in my inventory. I'm not quite sure what other uses it has, it's still a pain to get around while using it. But it's nice to get out of combat free.

Cool (filler)

Can you get the other faction's mount?

SO if it moves like movement speed, cant buffs like Aspect of The Cheetah and Crusader Aura, or that retri-talent that paladins have, affect it?

Atleast you can mount in combat / when u are moving

I'm too low, but wonder if the loaned mount counts as a mount towards achievement? Just a theory.

[Stillabris]

Is lvl 77 required for this?
