Riding Skill CostFollow

#1 Dec 28 2006 at 6:54 AM Rating: Decent
I've searched the forums but could not find an answer to this question so here goes.

Is the cost of 150 riding skill dropping with the release of the BC expansion? I heard a rumor in game that it is going to be about 500G. I am approaching the 810G needed to purchase the 150 skill so spending 300 more gold than I would have to would really stink. Thanks

I wasn't invited into beta, and haven't heard from anyone, but I wouldn't think they would change it. I don't know why would think that, just have that feeling.

It isn't long until the expansion comes out.

Might as well just save the money just in case.

On the current PTR the cost has been lowered. I just checked with a lowbie character and with no discounts the price was listed at 600 gold.

had a feeling holding off til BC to buy epic mount training would pay off. i'm just hoping that the 600g cost without discounts isn't just for PTRs

Don't they generally drop the prices on things in the PTR to allow for players to test more things easily?

afaik, not really. However, i'll admit I haven't been on the PTR that much. Another option (which i'm still wondering about due to what people have said about the beta servers) is to increase the gain of gold and exp to quicken testing. This seems to be the more reasonable option, as i'd be willing to bet they could change two little things in the code for the game rather then reworking every vendor...

Setexprate 2.0
Setgoldrate 2.0

(or something like that) BOOM, 2x exp and gold... that vs going through and reworking literally every vendor in the game.

SHort answer: no.
Long answer: The epic mount has always been 1000G (less discounts for honored and PvP). Blizz is not changing it for TBC.
