When Solved, Archaeology Fragments form Artifacts. Solved Artifacts can be found in Archaeology's Completed Artifacts tab.

Most artifacts are common. These give you a little bit of lore or flavor text and an item you can sell for a small profit (presumably to a museum!) The profit increases as the value of the artifact increases. You can estimate this by the number of fragments needed to finish the artifact. You will only find cheaper artifacts at low level, but you can find cheap and valuable artifacts at higher level (the reason for this is we want players to be able to find all the artifacts if they want to). You won't find a second copy of a common object until you have found all the artifacts of that race. If you get stuck at a certain skill level of archaeology or character level, you may find an artifact more than once until you reach the next tier.
'''Mounts''' are a much sought after form of transportation in which players ride atop the backs of various more or less exotic beasts (or machinations). [[Warlock]]s, [[paladin]]s and [[death knight]]s can learn to summon mounts as a class perk. Mounted travel is almost always faster than walking/running (some vanity mounts such as [[Sea Turtle (mount)]] provide no speed benifit on the ground). [[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade]] introduced flying mounts in select areas, which further increased the maxium possible player movement speed.
 
   
  +
Some artifacts are rare. These always make a blue or purple item. Many of these have no in-game power and are toys or for flavor. Some of them are actual weapons and armor. The latter items are all bound to account. They aren't heirlooms in that they don't scale, but you can pass them around. So if you are level 80 and you find a level 60 axe, you can always have another character use it when they are level 60. You will never get a rare artifact more than once.<ref name="ArchaeologyWorks">http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.htmlsid=2000&topicId=26726035891</ref>
Mounts were generally expensive in the past, but their prices have been reduced while the training to ride them increased in order to compensate. However, some mounts do not cost any gold or other currencies (such as [[honor point]]s) and will drop at very low rates from bosses in instances such as [[Stratholme]], [[Zul'Gurub]], [[Eye (Tempest Keep)|Tempest Keep]], [[Magisters' Terrace]], [[Sethekk Halls]], [[Karazhan]], and [[Utgarde Pinnacle]]. There are numerous other methods to obtain mounts as well, such as class quests, completing [[achievement]]s, and even playing the [[Trading Card Game]].

==Dwarf artifacts==
Mounts have a 1.5 second cast time, which will be interrupted by taking any damage, moving, or entering combat. Mounts also have a special emote that can be seen by either jumping (the {{keypress|Space}} key by default) while not moving or performing the <code>/[[mountspecial]]</code> slash command. For example hawkstriders will shriek.

There are a total of eight classes of mounts:

The majority of mounts (the first four classes) are directly related to the four ranks of riding skill. Ground mounts cannot fly and flying mounts will instantly dismount the rider if they enter water. However, ground mounts can swim (but not any faster than swimming without the mount) and aquatic mounts can walk on land (but not any faster than walking without the mount). [[#Vanity mounts|Vanity mounts]] confer no benefits (and thus, require no riding skill or character level), while [[#Scaling mounts|scaling mounts]] only require the absolute minimum riding skill and will gain capabilities and speed based on the rider's skill and location.
 
 
=== Apprentice: Level 20 ===
 
Apprentice riding skill (75) costs {{cost|4}} for training and an additional {{cost|1}} for each mount, both reduced by the appropriate [[reputation]] discounts. Rare ground mounts increase movement speed by 60%.
 
 
At level 20, warlocks and paladins can learn the spells {{ability|Summon Felsteed}} and {{ability|Summon Warhorse}} at the cost of {{cost|1}} from their class trainers, which grants them apprentice [[riding]] skill.
 
 
=== Journeyman: Level 40 ===
 
Journeyman riding skill (150) costs {{cost|50}} for training and an additional {{cost|10}} for each mount, both reduced by the appropriate reputation discounts. Epic ground mounts increase movement speed by 100%.
 
 
At level 40, paladins and warlocks can learn {{ability|Summon Charger}} and {{ability|Dreadsteed}} from their class trainers after learning the Journeyman riding skill from the riding trainer. There is no need to purchase a new mount. [[Death knight]]s receive their epic ground mount, the {{ability|Acherus Deathcharger (ability)|Acherus Deathcharger}}, after the completion of the quests {{quest|Grand Theft Palomino}} and {{quest|Into the Realm of Shadows}} at level 55.
 
 
=== Expert: Level 60 ===
 
Expert riding skill (225) costs {{cost|250}} for training and an additional {{cost|50}} for each mount, both reduced by the appropriate reputation discounts. Rare flying mounts increase movement speed by 150% in the air and 60% on the ground. Flying mounts are also only usable while within [[Outland]] and [[Northrend]]. However, flying in [[Northrend]] requires Cold Weather Flying training (see below).
 
 
Druids can learn {{ability|Flight Form}} from any druid trainer at level 60 for {{cost|3}}, which grants them expert [[riding]] skill for next to nothing.
 
 
=== Artisan: Level 70 ===
 
Artisan riding skill (300) costs {{cost|5,000}} for training and an additional {{cost|100}} for each mount, both reduced by the appropriate reputation discounts. Epic flying mounts increase movement speed by 100% on the ground and 280% in the air. This was also the training level required to use the ultra-rare 310% speed flying mounts. No class-granted abilities award artisan flying, although the Druid ability {{ability|Swift Flight Form}} requires it.
 
 
=== Cold Weather Flying: Level 68 ===
 
The [[Cold Weather Flying]] skill used to cost {{cost|1,000}}. This non-discountable training grants players the ability to also use their flying mounts in Northrend and required at least level 77 and expert riding skill. Level 80 characters were are able to buy a [[Bind to Account|bind to account]] heirloom, the {{loot|heirloom|Tome of Cold Weather Flight}}, which allowed characters of level 68 to learn the spell, making flight in Northrend possible from an earlier level.
 
 
As of [[Patch 4.0.1]], the cost was reduced to {{cost|500}} and requires level 68 and expert riding skill, which eliminated the need for the Tome of Cold Weather Flight.
 
 
<div id="Master80">=== Master: Level 80 ===</div>
 
Master riding skill (375) costs {{cost|5,000}} for training, reduced by the appropriate reputation discount. Introduced with Patch 4.0.1, this opens up 310% flying speed to any level 80 that can afford it. However, any characters that already had a 310% speed flying mount pre-4.0.1 were given this skill automatically and free of charge with 4.0.1. Purchasing this riding skill will unlock 310% flying speed for all flying mounts a player can own.
 
 
One considerable exception to this is the reward from the [[meta-achievement|meta]] [[World Events achievements|world events achievement]] {{achievement|What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been}}, the {{loot|epic|Reins of the Violet Proto-Drake}}. After many posts on the forums from disappointed players who had been working on the achievement, [[Zarhym]] announced that the Violet Proto-Drake would be hotfixed it so that obtaining it after Patch 4.0.1 will award Master riding.

== Increasing your speed==
 
===Through class abilities and talents===
 
[[File:Trollsraptors.jpg|thumb|Two trolls riding raptors.]]
 
[[Shaman]] and [[Druids]] acquire shapeshift forms that increase their movement speed (not as much as a mount, but it is trainable at an earlier level), while Hunters get [[aspect]]s to boost their own movement speed and that of their party. Rogues and druids in cat form have an ability to temporarily increase movement speed. Here are the skills and abilities that provide some classes with a bit of a faster movement speed, either passively or by the activation of an ability.
 
 
* {{Class|Death Knight}}
 
** [[File:Spell DeathKnight SummonDeathCharger.png|18px|On a Pale Horse]] {{ability|On a Pale Horse}} in the Unholy tree (tier 4). Increases your speed while mounted by 10%/20%. The mounted movement speed increase does not stack with other effects.
 
* {{Class|Hunter}}
 
** [[File:Ability Mount JungleTiger.png|18px|Pathfinding]] {{ability|Pathfinding}} in the Beast Mastery talent tree (tier 3). Increases your speed while mounted by 5%/10%. The mounted movement speed increase does not stack with other effects.
 
*{{Class|Paladin}}
 
** [[File:Spell Holy PersuitofJustice.png|18px|Pursuit of Justice]] {{ability|Pursuit of Justice}} in the Retribution talent tree (tier 3). Increases your movement speed (and mounted movement speed) by 8%/15%. This does not stack with other speed increasing effects.
 
** [[File:Spell Holy CrusaderAura.png|18px|Crusader Aura]] {{ability|Crusader Aura}} at level 62. Movement speed while mounted is increased by 20%. The mounted movement speed increase does not stack with other effects.
 
** [[File:Spell holy auramastery.png|18px|Aura Mastery]] {{ability|Aura Mastery}} in the Holy tree (tier 3) does not directly increase mounted movement speed, but it does boost Crusader Aura. With these two abilities combined, it is possible to increase mounted movement speed by 40% for 6 seconds every 2 minutes.
 
 
===Through items and enchants===
 
There are five other methods for increasing your mounted speed, with no effects beyond level 70:
 
 
* {{loot|enchant|Enchant Gloves - Riding Skill}}: +2% (stacking), world drop [[Enchanting]] recipe
 
* {{item|Carrot on a Stick}}: +3% (stacking), reward from the {{quest|Gahz'rilla|Gahz'rilla quest}} in [[Zul'Farrak]].
 
* {{item|Mithril Spurs}}: +4% (stacking), world drop [[Blacksmithing]] plans
 
* {{item|Riding Crop}}:[[File:Bc icon.gif]] +10% (non-stacking), [[Leatherworking]] pattern sold in [[Old Hillsbrad Foothills]].
 
* {{item|Skybreaker Whip}}:[[File:Bc icon.gif]] +10% (non-stacking), quest reward from {{Questlong|Neutral|70|Dragonmaw Race: Captain Skyshatter}}, must be Honored with [[Netherwing]].
 
 
These last two items effectively increase a mount's speed by 10%. However, they do not stack with the previously mentioned methods, so they are approximately (see below) a 1% improvement over using the above 3 items combined. It should be also noted that for players of [[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King|WotLK]] the [[Riding Crop]] is only usable for two levels (69 and 70), and the [[Skybreaker Whip]] only for one level (70).
 
 
All speed improvement items work on both normal and flying mounts (with the exception of npc controlled point-to-point flight).
 
 
{{wotlk-inline}} Characters higher than level 70 will not benefit from mount speed improvement items and enchants. Blizzard's design goal is to eliminate the trinkets, but they've had technical issues with an implementation of an alternate system. <ref>http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=9336669931&pageNo=1&sid=2000#1</ref>
 
 
===Statistics===
 
The first three effects act as percent multipliers of your total mounted speed, stacking with previous multipliers. Thus, if you have spurs but nothing else, your normal mount speed will be increased to about 166.4% ((100% + 60%) * 1.04 = 166.4%). These numbers were obtained experimentally using a position-tracking addon written specifically for this purpose.

== Available mounts ==
 
The tables below are separated based on mount source, such as purchase requirements, killing specific creatures, participating in world events, completing achievements or more.
 
 
=== Racial mounts ===
 
Racial land mounts are typically the first mounts players will acquire. To purchase a racial land mount, players must either purchase their race's mount (such as horses for humans, or wolves for orcs), or gain [[exalted]] standing with that race's representative faction (such as exalted with [[Darnassus]] to purchase sabers). Flying mounts do not require any reputation rating.

===Class-specific mounts===
 
  +
{| class="darktable sortable zebra"
There are four classes in the game that can acquire special mounts and abilities linked to their own class through lore: [[death knight]]s, [[druid]]s, [[paladin]]s, and [[warlock]]s. The original quests to gain the paladin charger, warlock dreadsteed, and druid's swift flight form are all still in-game and reward feats of strength if they are completed. The aforementioned quests are not required to learn the ability, however, and are on the class trainers at the level listed in the table.
 
 
Druid and paladin abilities are slightly different based on race and faction. For example, the Alliance charger is blue and golden, while the Horde version is red and bronze. Similarly, night elf druids are black in flight form, while tauren are tan. With ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm|Cataclysm]]'', it seems that [[tauren]] and [[draenei]] paladins will not be getting chargers, but special types of Kodo and Elekk mounts, respectively<ref>http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=19377464368&postId=193512634565&sid=1#26</ref><ref>http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=19377464368&sid=1&pageNo=3#46</ref>.

=== Guaranteed drop mounts ===
 
A guaranteed drop mount will result in ''one'' mount being awarded upon killing the specified creature under the condition listed, regardless of the size of the party or raid. For mounts rewarded such that everyone who completes the achievement gets the mount, see the "[[#Achievement system mounts|Achievements]]" section. There is no direct achievement for killing the Time-Lost Proto-Drake; the hard part is actually finding the drake alive.

=== Holiday mounts ===
 
There are several disguises and time-limited items that are available during holidays. Disguises simply turn the player's mount into something "more festive" like a kodo or a reindeer but do not otherwise affect mount mechanics. Time-limited items exist only during the duration of the holiday itself. Previously, time-limited items had a set time such as seven or 14 days, but were changed to be directly tied to the holiday.
 
 
Back during [[Brewfest]] 2007, an {{loot|common|Honorary Brewer Hand Stamp|"Honorary Brewer" Hand Stamp}} was available for purchase and granted access to the {{loot|rare|Brewfest Ram}} and {{loot|epic|Swift Brewfest Ram}} vendors. {{NPC||Coren Direbrew}} (the holiday boss in the [[Grim Guzzler]] of [[Blackrock Depths]]) had not yet been implemented, so completing the quest was the only way to get the mounts. The hand stamp was removed for the 2008 Brewfest and the Swift Brewfest Ram added to Coren Direbrew's loot table (along with the new {{loot|epic|Great Brewfest Kodo}}), but the 60%-speed Brewfest Ram can no longer be purchased except by players who completed the Hand Stamp quest.

== Flying mounts in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms ==
 
[[File:Stormwind City from above pre-Cataclysm.jpg|thumb|With careful use of [[Eagle Eye]] or [[Far Sight]], it is possible to see why Flying Mounts are not allowed in the old world until the Cataclysm expansion hits.]]
 
At [[BlizzCon 2009]] it was revealed that flying mounts will be available in some form to use in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms with the release of the next expansion, titled [[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm|Cataclysm]]. Blizzard officials had previously stated that it was unlikely that they would allow flying mounts in these continents since doing so would require them to redesign the continents with flying mounts in mind.
 
 
The present state of the [[Eastern Kingdoms]] and [[Kalimdor]] is unsuitable for flying mounts; there are visual glitches like mountains and high buildings whose tops cannot be seen, and places where the terrain abruptly changes from one tileset to another, creating a grossly unrealistic appearance in some areas. There are also zones which should be there lore-wise but are presently empty and unfinished.
 
 
With the coming expansion, rebuilding the continents is precisely what zone developers plan to do, which explains why flying in those continents will become possible.
 
 
== Mount class examples ==
 
 
===Scaling mounts===
 
There are a few mounts available that scale in speed and flight capability based on the rider's skill and location. Such mounts are rewards from holidays or outside-of-game items and are designed to be usable regardless of level or skill. That said, they only change capabilities ''during the action of mounting''. For instance: mount up in a non-flying area of [[Dalaran]] to have a land mount, as expected. Then, ride into [[Krasus' Landing]]. The mount will not automatically turn into a flying mount. So, dismount and remount to fly away.

===Vanity mounts===
 
Vanity mounts only exist to put the player on a mount. They confer no bonuses to movement speed, and thus require no riding skill. The two vanity mounts are the {{loot|uncommon|Rickety Magic Broom}}, a fairly common reward for completing daily quests during [[Hallow's End]], and the {{loot|epic|Riding Turtle}}, available from the TCG.

== Notes ==
 
* Mounts have a [[mountspecial|special emote]] they can do: This can be invoked while motionless on the ground, either by the <code>/mountspecial</code> slash command, or by pressing the {{keypress|Space}} key
 
* Flying mounts can perform a loop! Press Pitch Up or Pitch Down (normally {{keypress|Ins}} and {{keypress|Del}}) while in flight to perform a loop. On a macintosh, the {{keypress|Help}} key, or the {{keypress|Fn|Del}} combination (on the laptop) will start it.
 
* Additionally, while in a loop, you can use your strafe keys.
 
* Mounts that allow passengers (the two choppers, the {{loot|epic|Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth|Grand Ice Mammoth}}, the {{loot|epic|Reins of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth|Traveler's Tundra Mammoth}} and {{loot|epic|Reins of the Grand Black War Mammoth|Grand Black War Mammoth}}) allow other characters to ride as passengers. Currently, the only flying mount that allows passengers is the [[Recruit-A-Friend]] mount, the {{loot|epic|X-53 Touring Rocket‎‎}}.

Template:Stub/Cataclysm

Archaeology icon Cataclysm Archaeology (Profession)

When Solved, Archaeology Fragments form Artifacts. Solved Artifacts can be found in Archaeology's Completed Artifacts tab.

Most artifacts are common. These give you a little bit of lore or flavor text and an item you can sell for a small profit (presumably to a museum!) The profit increases as the value of the artifact increases. You can estimate this by the number of fragments needed to finish the artifact. You will only find cheaper artifacts at low level, but you can find cheap and valuable artifacts at higher level (the reason for this is we want players to be able to find all the artifacts if they want to). You won't find a second copy of a common object until you have found all the artifacts of that race. If you get stuck at a certain skill level of archaeology or character level, you may find an artifact more than once until you reach the next tier.

Some artifacts are rare. These always make a blue or purple item. Many of these have no in-game power and are toys or for flavor. Some of them are actual weapons and armor. The latter items are all bound to account. They aren't heirlooms in that they don't scale, but you can pass them around. So if you are level 80 and you find a level 60 axe, you can always have another character use it when they are level 60. You will never get a rare artifact more than once.[1]
