Mount

Mounts are animals or creations used by players to move faster. Mounts have to be purchased from mount vendors and added into the player's collection (like books and companions). Mounting has a 1.5 sec cast time, and players can be dismounted when taking damage. Players will also dismount when using any ability.

The mounted speed increase depends on the level of the mount. This does not stack with other movement speed buffs, with the exception of some outfitter enhancement consumables that can be applied to leg items.
 * basic mounts give 60% faster movement speed and can be obtained at any player level
 * mounts for level 30 players give 90% speed increase, and
 * mounts for level 50 players give 110% speed increase.

There are no flying mounts.

Apart from running (mounted or unmounted), players can instantly travel to other zones by using a Porticulum or the Ascended Power Soul Recall.
