Im kinda confused about mounts...

[Tomocha]

Is there a reason to use ground mounts? i just use a flying mount thats flies vertically, then switch to the flying mount that flies horizontally. It seems that i move much faster this way, and im not dismounted by monsters

[Peter Zwegat]

Yes. But in some areas you cant use flying mounts. Thats the reason ground mounts exist. For example, dungeons.

yea but in dungeons you move slowly anyway, and have to wait for every partymember.

I've noticed that ground mounts are used quite abit in the exploration goals, other than that aesthetic? to show you have money and/or achieved things in the game i guess is another reason

Some people like flying some like ground
When your in the air you may miss something like a certain magical hat that likes to appear
When your not flying you may miss a certain magical hat further away etc etc just examples
To each their own

Flying will always be faster and more efficient. Like another user said, meant to fill in when you can't use flying mounts, as of now.

ok let us think about the people who are NOT premium members which means they CANT use the "flying taxies" all the time free and have to lay on something.

ground mounts are usually faster then your normal movement speed. so i dont see NOT a reason they should NOT exist. If i explor areas and dont wanna fight all the time, i use said mounts. its easier to avoid enemys with and faster then switching all time between flying and walking as one sample. i mean by your logic, i would more like to ask why you can fish or make music in this game. if you know what i mean~

I've never put a cent into the game - you get enough free rotors from mapleopoly, and you can get your first fast flying mount from the wheel spin there. I did exactly that, and was flying before I probably hit level 10.

Point being, it's really, really not about premium, nor is the thread. The fact, is that it's pretty easy to get flying mounts, and things will always be more efficient when you don't have to account for terrain in your way, nevermind the fact they're just quicker moving in general.

same here. im a newbie. just hit level 40 and i have 120 walkie talkies for air taxi. and i also managed to roll the maple leaf flying mount, wich is realy fast, much faster than any ground mounts

true but again, not premium members might use (or have to use) mounts more then someone who is able to use said taxies all the time. Since you get all you need free if you just play a bit, even your first ground-/air mounts, you dont even have to pay for said mounts one cent reallife money. Thats why i said i dont see a reason why they should not exist.

ehm no. with level 60 you get a bull you can ride with is a epic ground mount, which is pretty fast if you run with it.

[Tomocha]

maybe its faster but you'll get dismounted if you get hit right? and you have to climb walls and ladders too

[Ulterior Void]

You won't get hit in the air, and you don't need to climb walls if you're soaring overhead anyways, you just need a little height from a balloon/porcine mount, which you get pretty early on.

for the first and the second part yes i can agree but at least for the first part i can say in a later prestige level you get the passive ability that this will not happen. also after you climb walls and ladders, you normaly sit on your mount back AUTOMATICLY without turning it on again, even after swiming. so again, there is no reason ground mounts should not exist.

[FibS]

The higher-tier ground mounts have better speed than the horizontal speed of most of the flying mounts you'll get.

The Maple Leaf is one of the best horizontal flying mounts, while the Pumpkin Balloon is one of the best vertical ones. However, getting to 60 will give you a purple bull that probably goes faster than the Maple Leaf.

And, as stated, in a "dungeon"-type map you can only use ground mounts.

[Riger82]

Why did no one even mention all the mount trophies that require you to actually travel by ground mount? Trophies are a bit important due to the skill points they give at certain milestones.

[Ulterior Void]

You can afk those
