I've decided I want a Polar Bear mount. I need help?

I have the money. I know a Panda is cheaper, faster, and less work, but I saw the Nissan Polar Bear commercial and... T__T I can't help it! Besides I think the Panda is too fat. Anyway, I was told it's possible to get the Polar Bear to 11m/s. How do I go about doing this? Spurs, then leveling (I'm guessing using him a lot levels him?). What spurs do I need, are they buyable from the Auctioneer, and what are the exact names of the spurs? Can I get two of the same kind of spur or do they have to be different? Also, when I spur him twice he will be ridable at 20, correct?

    Pretty sure the Polar Bear is spurrable.

    You'll need both Spurs of Alacrity and Galewind Spurs from the boutique. First spurring (with Alacrity) will boost it up to 9/10mps, and the second (with Galewind) will boost it to 10/11. Both spurs allow for riding at level 20 too.

    Once you've got the Bear and both spurs, talk to the Pet Manager NPC and they should have an option to upgrade.

    EDIT: Oh, and leveling is easy. Just ride it and it levels naturally. Just be sure to keep the loyalty up by feeding it lots.

    I thought the polar bear was already a 9/10 mps mount.

    Is it possible to buy spurs in-game rather than the boutique? That's over 40 dollars if I have to buy from the boutique. x_x

    You can buy them in game if someone happens to be selling them, but I don't think they're sold often. When they are, it's usually much cheaper than the boutique cost. That's why, ultimately, you're better off getting another mount until you can find a polar bear that's already fulled spurred.

    30 actually, if I'm not mistaken.

    - 5 for the bear (I think...I know they're pretty cheap nowadays)
    - 10 for Spurs of Alacrity
    - 15 for Galewind Spurs

    The only other way that I can think of that doesn't directly involve buying them straight from the boutique is to buy them with Tokens of Best Luck (think it's...3 Tokens per Spur IIRC? I'm don't have the means to check atm), which will still cost a hefty chunk of coin. But still doable I guess. X_X

    Where do I get Tokens of Best Luck and how would I buy the spurs with them?

    tokens of best luck (not to be confused with regular tokens of luck!) are a rare reward from most of the packs. the easiest way to get them (best luck tokens, that is) is to buy them from other players who got them from opening packs. each best luck token is worth around five million coin, give or take a little --- because you can exchange two of them directly for ten million, so nobody will sell them for much less than that. what this means for the price of spurs bought with best lucks... well, work it out for yourself.

    (personally i didn't know you could get spurs with best lucks. oh well, learn something every day.)

    and ecatomb lists an unspurred polar bear as an 8-9 m/s mount, so i'd guess you would need both spurs.

    I want to make sure before I buy them, lol. This would be all of my money. & I still don't know how I'd buy them with the tokens? The boutique?

    tokens of luck, and best luck too, you take to an NPC called the "boutique agent". from her menu you select "gift exchange", and then you're promptly buried under more options than you can shake a stick at. explore the many tabs, see how many tokens (and of what kind) each option would cost you.

    things you can buy with best luck tokens, AIUI, are mostly listed under the tab named "best".

    Can they be bought from the auctioneer?

    If it's 15m for a 10gold item, it's probably not worth it to buy with coins b:surrender
