Skyborne pay full price for riding training

Skyborne players get no discount on riding training in World of Warcraft: Forever. Every other race saves 10% at Honored with its own faction, but the Skyborne still pay the full 1,000 gold for Journeyman Riding. Their riding trainer seems to be the cause.

What the discount is worth

Riding is expensive in Forever. You learn it at the riding trainer of your own race; trainers of other races only teach you at Exalted. At Honored with your own race, your trainer gives 10% off.

Skill	Level	Speed	Training	Mount
Apprentice Riding	40	60%	100 gold	20 gold, the first one free
Journeyman Riding	60	100%	1,000 gold	200 gold

Why the Skyborne miss out

A player posted a screenshot with Honored at High Order, the Alliance faction of the Skyborne, and Journeyman Riding still at 1,000 gold.

Don't bother getting Honored with the Skyborne Load the post from the classicwow subreddit.

The Skyborne riding trainer, Genn Fairweather, belongs to no faction, possibly because the trainer serves both sides. Other riding trainers, such as Binjy Featherwhistle and Velma Warnam, do belong to a faction, and that is most likely where the discount comes from. Whether Blizzard sees this as a bug, is not known.

Honored is hard to reach

After Zephras Isle, no quests raise your reputation with High Order or with the Windshapers, the Horde faction of the Skyborne. About 70 to 80 quests give reputation with them in total, against more than 140 sources for the Darkspear Trolls. By the mid forties, most players are Honored with the four other factions of their side.

For the Skyborne, only repeatable turn-ins remain, such as A Donation of Runecloth from Oura Stormspinner: 60 Runecloth for 150 reputation. The Skyborne mounts themselves are in the mount guide.
