Paladins and Warlocks ride for free at level 40

Paladins and Warlocks do not have to buy Apprentice Riding for 100 gold at level 40 in World of Warcraft: Forever. Their class quest gives them a mount for free. Since a hotfix on 9 November, the Felsteed of the Warlock also teaches the riding skill.

Paladin

Every Paladin gets a class quest at level 40.

Faction	Quest	Where
Alliance	The Tome of Nobility	Duthorian Rall in Stormwind
Horde	Report to Danitha, then A Paladin’s Steed	Danitha Morr at Bandarion Keep

The Horde quest starts in the Undercity and sends you to Bandarion Keep, where you learn to summon your horse.

Warlock

Warlocks pick up Summon Felsteed at level 40. The quest sends you to a Warlock trainer who teaches the spell, without any riding skill.

Until 9 November, the Felsteed only worked as a spell. Blizzard fixed that in the hotfixes of 9 November: finishing the quest now also grants the riding skill. Who finished it before, gets apprentice riding by summoning the Felsteed once. Then you can also ride other mounts, says Blizzard.

The other hotfixes of that day are in our post about the 9 November hotfixes. Every mount and where it comes from is in the mount guide.
