*note the stats they show are only for if you are level 80. I guess they are different depending on what level you are and that is how it "levels up with you"

rumor has it that it goes like this...

Pet till 20.
20% run speed mount at 20.
30% run speed mount at 40.
40% run speed mount at 60.
52% run speed mount at 80.*

Additional information from the eq2players dev post:

From 1 to 19, he's a little bearcub that follows you around.
From 20 to 39, he grows up and you can ride him around (a 20% speed mount).
From 40 to 59, he gets a saddle, and some more speed (30%).
From 60 to 79, he gains armor, and more speed (40%).
At 80, he's fully grown. He has a full set of armor & saddle and is as fast as he'll ever get (52%).


Joyful is gettin a new doggie... er bear wink

I wish they would offer me a premium digital download, I'd have gone an extra $5 to get that mount easy. I really will never get the different rewards for retail vs digital download

Ok so those pictures and stats on the Zam site are for the Void shard mount and not the one claimed from the retail box.

Yeah... initially they listed those as the box mounts... they were corrected by the dev team from the eq2players forums. The stats above, on this thread are the correct stats.

with the chok totems i get 55% runs sped...even with the punny stats a mount gives you I do not see a point in these common mounts....I have to agree with Lindar that mounts would be more viable if there speeds stacked with other buffs. Too bad too cause they look cool.

I'm torn on the topic of mounts. In WoW I loved my mount but the summon speed was alot faster and it performed better, I didn't feel that the mount reacted to keyboard movement differant then my character. I could jump and strafe with it.

In EQ2 the mounts summon slower and seem heavy and unweildy. They don't jump in place, can't strafe, I feel anchored to the ground with them and thus my "feel" of interfacing with the world changes. After a time on my SK on a horse I found that the mount was harder to use in combat if I had to move. If the mounts moved like players, felt more organic then I'd love em, but as it stands I prefer Tovana's freedom of movement even if she's not 80% runspeed with mounts+AA+Items...

There are now warbear mounts that can be bought with void shards that have stackable 65% speed.

Add: The link is to an article that includes pics of the /claimed bear and all 6 void shard bears.

Tovana - I understand what you're saying, but I think that it's supposed to be that way.

Like... In real life when you're running and jumping, etc - you have way more freedom of movement than when you're on a horse, you know?

My reason for not wanting the mounts is purely aesthetic.

Nell has the 50% run speed from the master crafter earring.
The 65% stackable mount has me going, "oooo" - But then I think about my faerie on a ... war... bear. And that deters me.
I think they look kinda dumb.

Before Nell had the earring, she had a carpet. Faeries look stupid on carpets. sad

I wish SoE would implement the ability to hide mounts, just like we can hide hoods and cloaks, so that we can get the speed buff without the visual.

Edited to add: Haha, but of course in real life you can't hide your horse either. =P

Yes well, in real life you can't body pull a mob that's 1' away from another mob without both of them seeing you wink

I wish they would make the interior of buildings auto hide mounts so I don't go into the bank or commerce area of the guild hall and get warg crap on my awesome boots.

Ugh, guess I'll have to invest in a mount. Doubt they'd give bards a run speed anywhere near 66% and with my +mount speed AA that'll be closer to 72%+.
