Curiousity Question from a New Player.

I started playing last night, so far I'm enjoying it.

However. I only plan on playing rather casually, as work and personal life don't offer much free time.

That being said, I don't mind how long it takes me to get to end game just so long as I get there.

Additionally, I don't have a lot of spare cash, so I've been doing free offers and surveys. (This is relevant.)

Meaning my influx of diamonds will be sporadic.

So my question is: Regardless of how much and how long I have to save, is it in my best interest to buy a permanent mount? Are they a necessary and integral part of the game?

Thank you in advance for responding. :o

ok, a permanent mount is one of the things that will make this so much more enjoyable in the long run. even if you spend $5 on this game, i'd advise it to be on a perm mount...so yes, get one

i would not recommend unless u want a mount for (10m) that will give u 75% riding speed bonus
what i do right now is minigame ancient trasures that u might consider starting at round level 40+ if u complete it in less than 6minutes out of 10given u get to open 5 special boxes that give u mount items, if u collect 5 of those items from a horse set u get 30 day nice horse with 65% speed bonus, but these 10 percent are completely barely visible when a 75% and 65% are running together next to each other (because its like one player running at 165%speed and other at 175%)

i did the minigame 21 times, u can do it once a day, and i collected 7 sets of horses already, thats 7 months of nice horses

thats it right there and another one is blue but i havent wore it yet, still got 10 days untill this green one expires, so yes u shouldn't buy perm horse if u dont spend much time ingame, its more of endgame thing when u have 100 mills and stuff, but my advise u asked for dont buy it just do minigame it takes less than 10 minutes seriously


by the way u get titles from this minigame too, and phirious shells which u can exchange for lvl 67-70 items that u can sell as stats, i exchanged two today and got 20m they were sta/pa

I'm not even sure that's mathematically possible...you must be the luckiest person EVER. I've played that game over 100 times on multiple toons and I've only gotten a "complete" set to get the 30-day mount once.

I definitely think a permanent mount is a must in this game, even if you only play part time. However, you can get the viking mount for free still, from the Alienware site. It's 65% (and the sound it makes is annoying as hell)...but it's free. :) Also people are usually willing to sell/give away the 30 day mounts from the Zeevex promotions if you ask around.

Read up about the free permanent viking mount here :

Zeevex mounts dont work anymore... At least the batch I have (and I have 25-30) dont.

Advising person who started yesterday to do mini-games seems... premature. On the other hand, horse rental tickets that drop in mini games are viable choice for newbie. They sell for 600-700 gold each and give you 15min, 2hour or 7 day horse.

Horse rental tickets are perfectly good alternative to buying a permanent mount till they go on sale and you can pick a good one for cheap. When you buy a perma-mount, you dont want to settle, you will be using it... well, permanently. Until then, I would just use the horse. It might be slow at 60%, and it is not a water mount. Still, it beats walking.

Erm. Nevermind. I found out where to use it. But now it's saying my name and password don't match.. But that doesn't make sense at all. :(

You have to make sure that you are on the US page not the EU one.

There is one small benifit to a perm. mount and that is some of them will take two players and that is allot of fun especially if you have a special relationship, like Master/Slave or Hubby and Wife. Working as a team gives valuable XP Bonus Points if your related in some way.

Got a key from Alienware, but it says "Key not found" on the RoM site. Am I entering it wrong? It has some numbers at the beginning separated by an underscore. Do I leave the underscore in? Replace it with a space?

You type it the same way as seen on the page, redeem your key on web page first, then go to cash shop and redeem it there with codes given on web page. (usually your selected sign in name is key, and you will get simpler code to enter there)

Good luck

I still have 14 or 15 months worth of mounts from the mini games, and ive been using them instead of my perma mounts for the past year or so. I have somewhere in the range of 250-275 completes of the ancient runes minis. Since you can hit 55 so fast nowadays you could easily farm ss for mount parts.
