Complete guide by Slyde is here Faction Mounts Level 30 mount: +70 ground speed, +50 stability, required level 30 Level 50 mount: +90 ground speed, +70 stability, required level 50 Faction Mounts are obtained by turning in faction coins to a city that has the faction mount you want. At level 10 you can talk to an npc in the city you want to gain faction for, choose the dialogue option to fight for that city, and wear the diplomacy necklace given to you to collect the faction coins from mobs that give you xp. They drop randomly and are automatically added to your inventory. You will gain copper, silver, and gold faction coins depending on your level and they will be turned in for faction points for the city. You can gain platinum faction coins from boss mobs who are not grey to you and whose names are all in CAPS. These are what you use to pay for the mount. You can also get ancient platinum coins through various means such as crafting or diplomacy. These can be exchanged for platinum coins of any city faction. 1 copper coin = 1 city faction 1 silver coin = 10 city faction 1 gold coin = 100 city faction The level 30 mount costs 50 platinum faction coins and requires 1000 city faction, the level 50 mount is 150 platinum faction coins, or 100 platinum faction coins if you turn in your level 30 mount, and 18,000 city faction. WARNING - Be aware you will lose faction from opposing cities and may become Kill on Sight to those cities. You will also lose citizen faction which, when it gets below a certain point, you will be unable to aquire quests or use vendors from that city. If you want to remove the KoS status, you need to raise your faction again with the cities that hate you by killing mobs, diplomacy, or crafting work orders that give positive faction for those cities.

thanks so much for putting this up. i wonder if the other 2 spheres will get comparable flying mounts at some point.
i hope they install appearance slots for ground mounts and fly mounts soon. I know i'd prefer griffon look over a fly mount that... "produces" rainbow sparkles from its behind.
I know the rainbow brite one is really fruity.. But it's hilarious. And mass spell effects. If I can get one, I will .... Although I hear most dps go chaos..
If only my dear, if only. The only mounts that multiple players can ride on are aquatic mounts, i.e. boats.
