How Much is a Level 30 Mount in WoW TBC Classic?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As an avid WoW player and content creator, I‘m often asked how players can get their first mount in TBC Classic. So let‘s break it down!

The Cost

Getting your first mount at level 30 in TBC Classic will cost you 50+ gold – 10g for the standard mount and 40g to train the 60% movement speed riding skill.

However, you can reduce this cost through reputation discounts:

Honored36g46g
Revered34g44g
Exalted32g42g

As you can see, hitting Exalted with your faction‘s capital city can save you 8g off the total mount cost. Definitely worth the effort!

Where to Buy

You can purchase level 30 mounts from riding trainers in any major city. Some popular locations:

  • Stormwind: Katie Stokx
  • Ironforge: Brolin Stouthoof
  • Orgrimmar: Kildar
  • Thunder Bluff: Jartsam

I‘d advise checking these trainers often as their mount selection can change frequently. And be sure to compare prices across trainers to find your best deal.

Earning the Gold

Now that you know the mount costs, let‘s talk about making gold…

As you‘re leveling from 30-40, I‘d recommend focusing on quest rewards over vendor loot. Many quests will offer item rewards worth 1g+ or actual gold rewards.

Skinning and Herbalism are also solid gold-earning professions at this stage. Resources like Light Leather and Mageroyal can sell quickly on the Auction House.

Lastly, keep an eye out for rare BoE gear drops. These can fetch decent gold from twink players even at lower levels.

Is It Worth It?

Absolutely! Riding that first mount is a right of passage in WoW. You‘ll be able to navigate zones faster for questing, escape danger quicker, and just look cool riding around on your new mount.
