Mount questions

Hey again,

Do Star or Flame ever appear on the item shop as a special offer?

And do their water flying make that much of a difference such that you'd recommend spending 299 diamonds for, when considering you already have the 175 diamond 65% mount? Or would they become mandatory later on down the line?

Thanks

Because it allows you to get places faster by going over lakes instead of around. This is especially good in a timed event mini-game.

And two people on one mount is better in SW also.

Both mounts were offered as a daily special at least once, before Xmas. 163 dias. Combination of 2 seater, 70% speed and water made this a winning deal. My previous mount was ferret, and was happy with it too. I would consider slower mount to save dias, I would also consider one-seater. Non-water? Nope. Good to have.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

I see... Those timed minigames that Eled mentioned, are they available at low levels or do they require higher?

I will be probably getting one of those mount, but I am inclined to wait it out until I reach a level where I definitely could use one, or until one of those special offers comes up again. I don't feel I am in any rush right now, since during my questing (at least right now), I don't often run over bodies of water, and if I have to, they usually are not swimming marathons.

Would you recommend waiting for the Special offer?

EDIT: One more thing, when one of those gets on special offer, do both get on it or just one?

Yes, many of the MINI-Games can be done at low levels, like the one in Varanas just behind Snoop. She is standing in trees. You need to try and get all of the chests in Varanas.

Good luck doing Curse of Terror while low level. It might work as long as you don't have to take barricade down, and taking 500K barricade can be quite a challenge for low level player with not so good weapon.

Once in a while you can get 7 or 30 day mount ticket, but mostly you get 15min, 2 hours or 7 day tickets. Those can be easy obtainable trough AH. (many players sell theirs - I use mine on alts)

I would wait for a mount sale, yeah. No point in buying something at regular price.

Until then, I would recommend to do what RoMage said - buying horse rental tickets, which is not the same as using stables. They are cheap and while they usually give you 15 minute or 2 hour horse, they often enough give you 7 day one. Yeah, they are 60% and non-water, but hey, beats buying a mount at non-sale price or settling for a so-so mount

A bit late about the tickets, I already dished out the dias for a 65% single seater lol >.<;;

I'll wait it out then for now.

Thanks for letting me know about the ticket, could be good for my alts.
