    If you want to get there fast, and do not mind going on the ground, get a Land Mount like a panther. They are cheaper, and faster.

    If you like flying better, and don't mind that it's a little slower, get a nice flying mount. They are more expensive to upgrade but you can fly over everything instead of riding around it. That will let you Autopath better.

    Note that riding mounts start at speeds of 8 mps, and go up to 11 mps after you ride them for a while or upgrade them with Spurs. A fully spurred panther would be 11 mps and $35 gold/dollars.

    Flying mounts start at +1 mps, which is added onto whatever your character's speed is. So they start around 6 mps and go up to 9 mps when you use wing widgets to upgrade them.

    I would suggest a fully maxed fly mount as it only needs 80 widgets that costs 30 gold.The reason is if you need to be some where fast.I can be somewhere faster than landmount with my natural wings as I can go over water you need a bridge.
    Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.

    I prefer flying ... when going over mountains, water, and walls, flying beats everything, in my opinion.

    "Flying mounts start at +1 mps, which is added onto whatever your character's speed is. So they start around 6 mps and go up to 9 mps when you use wing widgets to upgrade them."

    Asked Support about if that true the answer was:

    Flying Mounts start with their own Speed and it DOESN'T ad up to basic speed of character. Which means if speed +0.50 it's plain 0.50 whatever it meansb:surrender

    Try it in-game sometime. They add to normal speed. No one would buy any aerogear ever if they went at their listed speed.

    Aerogears add to a base flying speed. I don't know the exact value but Ill tell you this, its damn close to 5m/s. All the classes movement are between 4.8-5.2 m/s so its hard to tell much difference.

    The +XX adds to this 5.0m/s. So a +3 (maxed) flying mount will be doing something like 8.0m/s. Which is the slowest speed for land mounts.

    The decision to make is, how you gonna travel?
    If you're gonna want to autopath and go afk while you get from A to B get an aerocraft.

    If you gonna be siting at your comp, and want to farm as you ride along get a land mount.

    Also note that with land mounts you have a chance to be knocked off your mount if you are hit by a mob. The chance varies with loyalty. Its a 50% chance if your pet has low loyalty which reduces to 10% if its got high loyalty. To maintain loyalty you will need to periodically feed the pet (unless you have a Xmas blessing, or a tome?).
    When the going gets tough; Get a tank!

    I'd prefer to buy flying mount cause most of the time you'll be flying for daylies or even in normal deplacement! its also very usefull for PK ...it helps escaping away eventually !
    One you'll be 7x you wont regret it cause you'll have to fly very very oftrn for the daily quest "Rosalind" (pw-my name sry)!
