And Now We Run - Level 30


Location: Freewind Post
Level: 31
Latest Achievements: "Giddy UP" + "Level 30"
Total Quests Completed: 206


I have been waiting to reach level 30. Running everywhere, slowly, by foot, really stinks. Especially if you're like me and have quests spread over 4 zones spread from north to south. As a Hunter, you receive "aspect of the Cheetah" at level 30, as a Druid, I received Travel form.... Or, in other words, I get to become a cheetah. The Cheetah form speeds your travel to +40%. At Level 30 you can also pick up your first mount.

You should, in any class, receive a piece of mail that tells you where you can buy your mount. For a horde druid, a Tauren, you buy your first mount, all of your Tauren mounts, from the vendor in Bloodhoof Village. First you'll need to get the riding training, and an achievement for the choice to do so. Then talk to the vendor and pick your favorite color. I don't believe a mount can be returned, so choose carefully, because you'll be seeing a lot of this one. Especially check out the backside, cause that's what you'll see the most. :-P

At this point in the game, you can only buy a mount from your home city. You have received enough praise to raise your reputation to exalted. Once you have done enough quests for other races, orc's or undead for example, you will raise your reputation enough to buy a mount from them. For the time being though, Tauren get Kodos.

And now we run! So much faster. You buy a mount from the vendor, learn it from your bag and then can use it any time you wish by clicking it in your character/pets window. You can also drop the quick key into your bar for easy access.
