So it looks like the wolf, scrolls of life, courtesan garb (the whole outfit I assume not just one part of it, that would be pointless but one of those translates to Courtesan's garb when I run it through google which would just be the top), and stone of health if I'm translating right.
I don't know, I'm not sure of the source but the article on the Neverwinter Wiki has changed so that states that it's a rank one mount as well. I really hope it hasn't because it seems rude to advertise it so long as a rank 2 mount and change it at the last minute but even so it's still a cool looking mount for no cost.
If it ever gets released anyway.
You know Wikipedia is not Cryptic's official words, right? I did not see any "official" Cryptic advertisement about the mount.
Preview gateway shows the winter wolf with 50%. Its still free, no one promised you content in development will never change. Till now there is no way to get a free mount of above 50% (excluding the ardent coin horse), so its not surprising they "fix" this. Sucks because of the hype and excitement, but without seeing the old development content, no one would complain on getting a free mount.

Greetings,
Unfortunately this was a case of development text inadvertently making its way into the winter calendar event. We're very sorry that misleading text made it into the calendar event, and we apologize for any confusion that it may have caused.
However, I can assure you that the mount will still be made available during the Winter Event, and it will still be completely free. Starlight Parcels are already packed tight with so many goodies—the winter wolf will be made available elsewhere in the event. Please keep an eye on the website for details and look forward to it!
The post above confirms that the offer for the Winter Wolf mount WAS made in Neverwinter's Winter event Calendar. It was also listed there as an 80% mount, however any references to it have now been changed to a rank 1 mount so we cant prove. First the statement (above) was made that the post offering the Winter Wolf mount should never have made it into the game but that since it did the mount would still be given away during the Winter event. Now I see the mount has been changed to a rank 1 mount and is not an 80% mount. I also see something from the french and german posts (see above) that one has to log in at a specific day / time to get it and that there is a limit of one per account. If this is the case wouldn't it seem only fair to share the info with all players? Especially as the day posted there is today?
It worked! Thank you for the beautiful Winter Wolf mount! Logged on after 18:00 GST+1 (12 pm ET) and went to zen mount vendor. There it was, free as offered, and it is 80%. It's awesome! Thanks again!

Read again. When claiming it, it says 80%. After claiming it, it's 50%.
Pros: It's free. Just go to the zen store on any toon.
Cons: It's a standard, green, rank 1, 50% mount, despite the store description saying 80%.
The good news is that it is easy to claim a refund. Simply right-click and select "discard". The wolf will be returned to the store and you will get an instant credit of 0.00 Zen returned to your account balance.

We know this. The point is it was advertised as an upcoming free 80% mount to be given away during the festival. Apparantly that was a mistake of some sort but they said they would give it away anyway, but even tho it says 80% it is not. I am still happy with it, it looks awesome.
During beta and early on after launch, i wanted this "Winter Wolf" mount standing at the stables more than anything for my guardian fighter. I waited and waited, but it never became available, and then eventually disappeared from the stables. People said it was the same as the "Medium Worg" mount, so i bought that from the Zen store, but no, no it was not the same. I took this screen shot after realizing they were not the same mount. I can only assume this is what the Winter Wolf will look like, hopefully. (The grey wolf in the back.)
To clarify: This is a screenshot of the "Winter Wolf" mount as it stood at the stables during beta, open beta, and i believe awhile longer after official launch. This is the "Winter Wolf" mount as it was designed. Maybe they changed it, maybe they didn't, but this light grey wolf mount was labeled "Winter Wolf" at the stables.
Actually, it's redeemable by all of your characters.
So will it stay redeemable for the whole account once you've claimed it once? Or do I need to log on all my characters and start cramming wolves into the banks over the weekend? :eek:
Hello everyone, I have a problem, I can't redeem the winter wolf. Does I need a lvl 20 character ?
Yes. For Zen mounts, you need to be level 20 before they can be bought/claimed and for the Reward Claims Agent, you need to be level 20 to claim any unlocked mounts there too. Mounts from Event Vendors (like Midsummer/Winterfest), can be bought before level 20 but they cannot be equipped until level 20.

you can only claim it from the zen store. you won't be able use it until you hit lvl 20 so it will sit in your inventory until then. once you hit 20 then you can do he quest that opens up the mount slot. once you do that then you can equip the wolf mount

Nay, you cannot buy or claim Zen mounts prior to level 20. See my ninja post above for more information.
Thank for you reply !
So, I'm currently farming the winter event for the Winter Horse, does it mean that I can't have it anyway ?
The dappled riding horse and winter sled comes from the Event Vendors. So, if you get enough to buy them before becoming level 20, you'll still be able to buy it. You just won't be able to equip it until you unlock mount riding at level 20. If you're close to level 20, I'd suggest to go level up for a little bit and get to 20 for the wolf while it is free. The wolf gift ends in the morning of the 28th. It's also 2x Glory, EXP, andf Refinement Weekend, so that will help getting to level 20 faster.

So, if I claim the wolf now, will I be able to discard it and reclaim it later, (after the Winter event and all that), like other Zen store mounts?

Good question...
Also, the Winterwolf Mount is currently reclaimable by ALL characters in your account using the Mounts Tab in the ZEN Market, as opposite to the note here were they state:"*Note: These items can only be redeemed by one character per account and is not account-wide."
Zebular, can you confirm with the Community Managers if the mount reclaimable by all characters is WAI?
What I think about a mount in the shop says 80%, and in the truth is 50%?
A dev mistake? No.
Simply breaking the commerce laws in every single f* decent country

Pretty sure the mount says it's both 50 and 80%. But since it's free it really doesn't matter. I picked one up to see which it was, and found it was 50%, so I put it in the bank and bought 1000 Zen to buy Clydesdales

This is why we can't have nice things. Company gives something away for free and the armchair lawyers start complaining about a typo.
Ok, I'm a unhappy player who has a uncommum mount +1 50%, honesty, why It is? Dev's are lasy enough to make another true
50% wolf item give away that dont fool?

Not sure. From the way the Gelatinous Cube became permanently reclaimable, I'd hope so. I'll ask though but those that would know might not be reachable until after the weekend.

It sounds like it's unintended and if it was unintended, it most likely wouldn't be able to be fixed until after it ends anyway. So, I imagine we should just consider it a bonus. Basically, we won't know till after the weekend as it's not game breaking or they are somehow able to look into it prior.

You are correct. It says 80% when you look at it in the Zen Market but when you claim it it is only 50%. *sigh*

The winter wolf looks a little awkward, especially it's teeth.
Only plus is that it at least has unique mounting animation of snow flakes and it howls instead of snarls with the spacebar effect!
Sad that it was originally listed as 80% speed down to 50% speed. Not that I would of rode it (since I have 110%) but still.
