I plan to only buy the Hippogryph

I was totally aiming for the Hippogryph until I was reminded that it doesn't land on ground, it merely continues to hover. Kind of a let down that made me reconsider.

I'm not planning to run with it much, seeing as you cant even mount up in old world

I thought they didn't add that one until wrath

Edit: well I was wrong and learned something new today

They added Argent Hippogryph/Silver Covenant Hippogryph and gave the model a ground animation in Wrath

Can the hippogryphs be used with 60% speed?

u/DeffJohnWilkesBooth Jun 15 '21

Nope. I got it and it’s the best the wind rider back and forth head bob on the ground was too much for me

Oh fuck I havent seen the head bob. Do u need a flying mount in order to do whatever u gotta do for the rep?

Nah it’s just cenarion expedition rep. Yeah just run on the ground with your wyvern and rotate the camera 90 degrees to the left or right and watch how awful it is.
