- Mount masters have found a home near all rift way points. These masters will allow you to rent one of three flying mounts based on continent for a fee of 20 silver. You can use the flying mount as many times as you want within the 5 minute timer given. When the timer wears off you will be given a freefall effect for a short duration and the mount will be removed from your inventory.

Interesting...

Atleast it's not like WoW's automated flight. It would kill player travel quickly.

What they've failed yet again to point out on these notes (and it's not like it's an unknown thing) is that these rental/trial/poofware mounts are LEVEL 40 limited. If you're not level 40, you get to waste 20s. Some would argue it's a waste anyway, but that's another issue.

Unless they've changed things since these guys were on the Test server, anyway. Renter beware.

OIC. Wasn't aware of that.

Their isn't a level requirement on the live servers. Sounds like a /bug to me!

[Ysharros]

No, it's quite possible they took the req away on live - which makes sense, if they want people to try the mounts out.

My bad - I should have checked on live for myself
