WoW Forever riding costs

WoW Forever launched on 4 November 2026. Riding works much like the original game, with one big gold check at level 40 and a much bigger one at level 60.

Step	Level	Gold
Apprentice Riding (includes your first mount)	40	100
Extra mount colours	40	20 each
Journeyman Riding	60	1,000
Epic Swift mount	60	200

That is 1,300 gold to go from no mount to an epic mount. The WoW Forever mount cost calculator lets you tick only the steps you still need.

Discounts

• Honored with your home faction: 10% off the Riding skill and your race’s mounts.
• Bartering Legacy talent: up to 10% off mounts, but not the Riding skill.
• The two stack for up to 20% off mounts. Other races’ mounts need Exalted.

With both discounts, the full 40 to 60 path drops from 1,300 to 1,150 gold. It is worth reaching Honored before you train level 60 riding.

Paladin and Warlock mounts

Paladins and Warlocks get a free mount from a class quest at level 40, but the Riding skill still costs gold. At level 60 they have an epic mount questline instead of buying one. The reagents can cost hundreds of gold, so the WoW Forever mount cost calculator leaves them out and shows only the Riding skill.

Auction House: what you keep

The Auction House takes 5% of each sale, and you pay a small deposit when you list. The deposit comes back if the item sells and is lost if it doesn’t. Type a typical sale price and the tool shows how many sales you need to fund your riding.

How to use the WoW Forever mount cost calculator

1. Type the gold you have.
2. Tick level 40 and level 60 riding as needed.
3. Pick your class and tick any discounts.
4. Add a typical Auction House sale price and deposit.
5. Read your total, the gap and the sales needed.

Tips to reach 1,000 gold

• Skip extra mount colours until you have your epic.
• Train only the class skills you use while levelling.
• Sell gathering materials, since crafters pay well early in a fresh economy.
• Pick a strong spec with our WoW tier list, and fix login trouble with the incompatible server guide.

Buying gold for real money breaks Blizzard’s rules and can get your account banned, so this tool only plans gold you earn in game.

Worked example: a fresh level 60

Say your Warrior just hit 60 with 300 gold and never bought level 40 riding. The WoW Forever mount cost calculator adds 100 gold for level 40 riding, 1,000 gold for level 60 riding and 200 gold for the epic mount. That is 1,300 gold, so you are 1,000 gold short.

Reach Honored and take the Bartering talent and the total falls to 1,150 gold, saving 150. If you sell items for about 10 gold each, you keep 9.50 after the 5% cut, so you need about 90 sales to close the gap. A Paladin or Warlock skips the 200 gold mount, but still pays for the Riding skill and the quest reagents.

Many players skip level 40 riding and save for the epic straight away. The tool shows both routes, so you can see whether the faster mount at 40 is worth the 100 gold.

Final thoughts on the WoW Forever mount cost calculator

Level 60 riding is a big goal on a fresh server. Use the WoW Forever mount cost calculator to set a target, then check it as your gold grows. Prices may change with patches, so check the patch notes link under the tool. More free tools are in our tools directory.
