Well, I guess "Ambassador at level 28" sounded like bragging. Sorry for that, not my intention. It may also not be accurate, more like a guess (as the only thing I know for sure is that I got it before questing in Arathi/Hinterlands).
Also that should not serve as example because of 3 things:
- my mage was human, which increased his reputation gains;
- it happened on TrueWoW, which has those TBC factions;
- 60% mount at level 20 probably helped speeding the whole thing up.

So, on PrimalWoW, and as Horde, you won't have those :cry:



In my opinion, you should level up a bit first, to get your 60% mount.
This way, the Rep-Farming will not be so boring.

Level 41 Tauren Druid
  • 12886/21000 with Darkspear Trolls
  • 20144/21000 with Orgimmar
  • 664/21000 with Silvermoon
  • 18896/21000 with Thunderbluff
  • exalted with Undercity
Hope that the rest of STV (Grom'Gol) + Feralas + Hinterlands will do the trick.
It would obviously be a lot easier with BC races being available.

Addition: Oops, so far the quests from the Trolls in Revantusk Village (apart from the Rin'ji escort) don't give any reputation. Pretty much stuck at 15371 / 21000 now (level 45) ... maybe I can get a tiny bit more in Feralas ...
As it stands it's completely stupid to grind Darkspear Reputation for a Raptor Mount on PrimalWoW prior to BC. I just should have waited until I can do the quests for the Venomhide Ravasaur.

Level 51 Tauren Druid
  • 16878/21000 with Darkspear Trolls
  • exalted with Orgimmar
  • 2476/21000 with Silvermoon
  • exalted with Thunderbluff
  • exalted with Undercity
  • Venomhide Ravasaur (+100% mount for 80 gold)
Vanilla/PrimalWoW Riding Skill costs (without faction discount)
  • Apprentice (75) +60% ground mounts: level 40 for 90 gold
  • Apprentice (75) Venomhide Ravasaur +100% ground mount: level 50++ for 80 gold
  • Journeyman (150) +100% ground mounts: level 60 for 900 gold
TBC Riding Skill costs (without faction discount)
  • Apprentice (75) +60% ground mounts: level 30 for 35 gold
  • Apprentice (75) Venomhide Ravasaur 100% ground mount: level 50++ for 80 gold
  • Journeyman (150) +100% ground mounts: level 60 for 600 gold
  • Expert (225) slow flying mounts: level 70 for 1000 gold
  • Artisan (300) fast flying mounts: level 70 for 5000 gold
WotLK Riding Skill costs (without faction discount)
  • Apprentice (75) +60% ground mounts: level 20 for 4 gold
  • Apprentice (75) Venomhide Ravasaur +100% ground mount: level 50++ for 80 gold
  • Journeyman (150) +100% ground mounts: level 40 for 50 gold
  • Expert (225) (not so) slow flying mounts: level 60 for 250 gold
  • Artisan (300) fast flying mounts: level 70 for 5000 gold
  • Cold Weather Flying : level 77 for 1000 gold
Clarification: Getting the +100% Venomhide Ravasaur requires the Apprentice (75) riding skill (only), 80 gold, 20 runecloth, 20 rugged leather and the completion of 20 (easy) daily quests. So, when only comparing the amount of gold needed (which I did), it comes to 90 + 80 = 170 gold compared to 90 + 900 + 10 = 1000 gold for any normal +100% mount (undiscounted, required riding skill + mount).

I'm beginning to wonder whether more WotLK quality of life (riding skill costs) would hurt PrimalWoW or on the contrary would increase the population by pissing less people off. The difference in costs is even more dramatic than it looks on first glance since WotlK gold has roughly 20% of the Vanilla value due to the amount of gold thrown at level 80 players (Hint: costs for dual talent).

They were lowering prices due to implememtation of new levels of riding skills (gold sinks on higher levels) and lower levels beeing "less relevant" from endgame point of view (every1 rushing to 70, 80,85 etc...) Getting goldz for lets say expert riding/flying skill at level 80 for fresh main also werent that easy since you had many other things to invest in.

Apprentice (75) Venomhide Ravasaur +100% ground mount: level 50++ for 80 gold
This, why change anything on this? Its reward from quest, a quest which you need to work for at least 20 days.
