I am relatively new to PWI, and i was very disappointed to discover (a bit too late) the downside of being a Elf compared to the Venomancers. I am level 18 Elf now and realized that my only available mount seems to be a very pricey pony. I know the wings are the trade off but they are no where close to being as fun or interesting as the Veno mounts (especially the new ones that keep coming out). I dont really feel like starting over as a Veno and im not really pleased with the Tail and Ear design of the Venos. I love my char. and i dont want to change it now. I know thats the edge of the Veno race, but they ALSO can tame pets. And whats the excuse for making Humans ride swords? Let the Veno's keep they're unique pet taming gift but all races are entitled to decent, and creative mounts.

P.S- And why cant they tame Arabian Colts? They totally qualify for the conditions of what creatures a Veno can tame. A basic mount like that is equivalent to Elves flying at level one.

    Ok so here is the thing Seline.

    Firstly, venos don't have any specialized mounts. There are Human, Untamed, and Winged Elf flying mounts and then there is the typical ground mount available to all classes that take up 1 pet slot in your pet inventory, every class starts with at least 1 pet slot so you do have room for mounts.

    I'll admit the Untamed class (venomancers and barbarians) flying mounts, or aerogear, are very cool however though you may have realized too late you did choose the Winged Elf class and they use wings.

    Also for the ground mounts. You don't need a pony. Ground mounts are very versatile as far as size, shape, and style. There is a black horse and a brown horse available with in-game money however by using the boutique (cash shop, Hit O in-game to open) you can select even more interesting mounts such as Raptors or Panthers.

    I don't know why the Humans ride swords however that is just the way it was designed.

    Venos can't tame horses for a few reasons. For one, most venos wouldn't want a horse to attack for them. I'll admit taming a ground mount would be fun however this will not happen because it would be unfair to all other classes aside from the veno.

    Don't worry about the advantage given by flying at lvl 1 either. Every class has their advantages and disadvantages.

    Finally don't whine about your flying mount. It is a relatively small part of the game. You as well as many winged elves might not like the wings however it is part of your class. Though you are against it you can start over with another class or you could just not fly or you could just go along with the fact that you use wings. Remember though, you are not limited by ground mounts and fyi, there is no flying pony.

    i appreciate the feedback, but i hope you weren't using sarcasm.
    (i have no interest in flying ponies.)

    i havent played as much, or long as a lvl. 40, and have yet to see a Elf with any mount, just wings. maybe because the horses are pricey?

    Venos could train Colts and sell them to other races, but ive seen alot of Veno users post wondering the same thing, why cant they tame them.
    (infact ive seen alot try)

    and i know they are the Untamed, i just refer to them as the Venos, since the Barbarians are not very customizable and i have not interest in them myself.

    all aside, this is the Suggestion Box.

    If you are talking about riding mounts, those are not class specific. Any character can ride any mount in the game, as far as I know.

    As far as flying mounts, each class has their own style. It's just part of the game.

    What about ground mounts?

    im not really interested in the flying ones.

    BESIDES horses, are the other ground mounts available to the Elves?
    *ex- the Chinese lion-looking mounts*

    Ok you are very confused Seline and I'll try my best to explain it. There are Aerocraft and Mounts. EVERY CLASS can ride any mount they like. this include the horses, raptors, polar bear, panthers, etc. They are all ground specific and much faster than aerocraft. Aerocraft on the other hand is race specific. Humans ride swords, untamed ride beasts (all flying type/also called flying mounts which may be the reason your confused), and elves fly with wings. The aerocraft is only for flying and mounts are for the ground. A race cant switch the type of aerocraft they have. This means that only untamed can ride "flying mounts" and only elves can fly with wings.

    And to answer your question which is above anyways, yes any ground mount you see is available to the elves and all other race. This includes teh chinese lion-looking mount

    We Venos do not get to use any Land Mount (a creature you ride on that stays planted to the ground such as the Horses, Panthers, Raptors, Elephants, Polar Bears, Lions, Hell Hounds, Foxes, etc...etc...) that any other race canot also use. In fact, we are more limited than other races because we need that pet slot for our REAL battle pets not some Mount to carry us around.

    We DO have our own version of your wings which allows us to fly and this comes in the form of Mantas, Birds, Bees, Dragons, and other rare creatures. These equip to our character like your wings and work the same way except they do not drain any mana like your natural wings do. (But the later wings you get and wings from the Botique also do not drain mana)

    As for being able to tame a mount that would cut into their Profits lol and would make us even more rich that there would be endless b:cry ing about how OP we are...oh wait...um...well nevermind... I honestly was really annoyed though that upon taming a "Riding Wolf" that I could not "Ride" it...b:surrender

    Now maybe you have seen us running around as a Fox? Maybe riding a White Tiger? If that is what you mean that is just us Venos' ability to become a Fox or the Barbarians' ability to become a White Tiger and then "Embrace" us so that we seem to ride them. (Best Mount in the Game! Heehee) But an Elf woman could ride on a White Tiger too if he lets her. (Get your mind out of the gutter! You know what I mean.)

    As for flying at the get-go being an advantage...Well...It is actually a fair advantage the Elves have but their quests seem to be a fair bit harder so there is that trade-off. Other than that they fly slow at the start and while flight is way better than ground no matter the speed it is still not so hot to spend SP on Flight Mastery if you are a Cleric who NEEDS all the SP you can get. +Elves walk reeeaally slow.

    So, what exactly is your suggestion?
    Is this really a suggestion, or a question for the Beginner's forum? It seems to me that you are just starting to learn the game, as you've said yourself, so perhaps you should be asking questions instead of giving suggesttions.
