Riding in WoW Forever: Level, Cost and Trainers
Riding has two ranks in Forever. Apprentice Riding makes you 60% faster, Journeyman Riding 100%. The gold goes into the training and the mount comes with it.

The two riding ranks
Levels 40 and 60 come from the mounts themselves. The level the trainer asks for is not in any data yet, we check it at launch.
Every riding trainer
Every riding trainer teaches both ranks. You also learn the riding type of your race there, Galestrider Riding for the Skyborne.

Riding for your alts
Mounts are account-wide, the riding training is per character as far as anyone knows. This is the gold to plan for:
Apprentice only300 gold
Both ranks3,300 gold
How to get the gold
Training is the biggest expense before level 60. The gold guide shows how to put 1,100 gold together by then.
The Legacy perk Bartering cuts prices at every vendor by up to 10%. Whether that covers riding training is still open.
Beta players also saw Journeyman Riding for 900 to 960 gold, so there are discounts, most likely from reputation.
Open the gold guideGetting around before you ride
Flight paths are there from the start. The Legacy perk Frequent Flier makes them 50% cheaper and 20% faster.
Three new ship routes connect Stormwind, Menethil, Southshore, Auberdine and the Riverglades.
The Skyborne have Skysight: 10% faster on foot and in the saddle for 30 seconds.
Open the Legacy CalculatorNo flying
Forever has no flying mounts. Blizzard said so, and the game client has no riding rank for flying.
