Will there be an announcement like for the PvP Server when we can buy them in BoE versions?

With reference to https://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19657 , pre-1.4 mounts were not implemented on the Nostalrius PvE server. The 1.12 mount system is used from the start.

Prices are, undiscounted / -10% / -20% discount for Honored+ rep or PvP Rank 3+
10G/9G/8G normal mount, 100G/90G/80G epic mount,
90G/81G/72G apprentice riding and 900G/810G/720G journeyman riding, secondary professions,
Only mounts of the same faction can be purchased with Exalted for that race.

The only change with this 1.4/1.5 patch is that normal mounts become BoP.


In the original WoW, "base cost of a mount was 20g for the (mount-specific) riding skill and 80g for the L40 mount. Upgrading to an Elite mount used to cost 1000g." http://www.mortalken.com/news/archives/102

Prices were, undiscounted / -10% / -20% discount for Honored+ rep or PvP Rank 3+
80G/72G/64G normal mount, 1000G/900G/800G upgrade that normal mount to epic mount,
20G/18G/16G per riding racial ability.
Pre 1.4, mounts were Bind on Use and could be sold on AH, which was done by PvP players to sell at a profit.
Pre 1.3, any mount could be purchased with Exalted for that race, including cross-faction.


TL;DR. Mount system is 1.12 already. Undiscounted, 1 normal mount 3 epic mounts cost you 100+1000+100+100 = 1300G, instead of a whopping 1100G*3 = 3300G what it used to be. Be happy. Let's PvP this Sunday.

The mount system on the PvP server was the skill based 1.12 version from the start as well... This post makes no sense in that regard.

varth wrote:To be more specific, on the PvP server the 1.4 epic mounts (Ivory Raptor ect) were offered as BoP for ~90g depending on your discounts (rank 3) from server start until around AV. Around the av release the pvp server made those same 1.4 epic mounts BOE and purchasable by anyone if you were that faction or exalted from another faction for a single weekend for 1000g.

After that weekend the 1.4 mounts were no longer available to anyone outside of the purchased Boe ones.

Then how do you explain this?

"The pre-nerf mounts will remain available until the end of the weekend and will cost 1,000 gold along with being Binds on Equip before leaving the vendors for good."
