    WQ or World Quest the lvl 70+ daily you have to go to many places and teleporting is really expensive to do every single day the quest can take a long time but afk flying makes it simple a 1.5 hour quest when flying so tabbing in and out to click a coord or sitting relaxing and chatting while flying more fun then trying to teleport or get your riding mount to all of those places especially since you would have to dismount and swim at some spots. There are 30 locations for WQ after the 3 starting ones in arch and where you end up having to go is random the flyer is much better for this daily... which i personally have taken to calling Worst Quest because on the monotony and ya cant fly or ride with anyone cause of the randomness of the quest which oftens sends people to opposite ends of the map.

    Ahh you have to feed land mounts...so thats it. I knew there had to be something lol.

    So what do they eat? NPC food or meat/hay?

    Its not really that expensive. You can feed them water from the venos pet skill trainer. I buy them buy the 500s for 25k. It gripes for food about every 5 min, and if you dont it loses loyalty, but not a significant loss. It's really easy to do, just bloddy annoying. lol I consider it the maintenance cost for speed. b:chuckle
    If you want something great, you've gotta be willing to bet it all. If you bet it all, you had better be prepared to lose.

    What does the level means on the mount?

    For instance I bought a polar bear mount and when I hatch it was level 11.

    Will it continue leveling up?

    Land mounts start at level 1 and each level increases its speed by 0.1 m/sec. The highest level a mount can reach is 11 for a total gain of 1 m/sec.

    Originally (Since I'm a noob) I agree that upgrades for mounts is an awesome thing. It also increases the speed. Yes, its true when on a flying mount you go...5.0 meters slower? I don't know but on land there's many obstacles. Imagine going to Swamp of the Wraiths with some kind of land mountb:shocked. This is what I recommend:
    -When you're going through a place thats not too difficult for you and when you're looking for mats, feel free to use a land mount.
    -HOWEVER when you're doing a quest through this quest thats a little harder...and lets say dangerous, reconsider and use a flying mount. Stay on the safe side.
    Don't buy both, I don't recommend you wasting all your money but just keep that in mind.

    "Through the darkness light can always emerge, it is only when the unwilling come upon this light that fear takes over. Emerging from this darkness takes more then courage, it takes faith in ones own mind and more importantly in ones own heart. To deny the light is to deny yourself the feeling of true happiness and true peace within your own soul. Denying your own happiness and your own soul is denying all that one has to live for."
