Linken.6345 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) You just need to get your character 10,20,30,40,50,60,70 or 80 and you will get a free mount for 10 hours on that character. If all your characters are already 80 you are out of luck. Edited January 30, 2023 by Linken.6345 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgotten Legend.9281 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) so, in addition to mount rentals mentioned above... with the steam launch on the 10th anniversary of the game, Anet changed a little about Raptors: Quote We want to make the most of the Steam launch, so over the past few months we’ve been working on improvements to the new player experience. We’ve improved leveling pacing, updated default options and key binds to be more sensible, added multiple tiers of new achievements that guide players up through level 80, added a free trial for the raptor mount once players reach level 10 (which becomes a permanent unlock after purchasing an expansion) the quote is from their Blog: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/studio-update-guild-wars-2-tenth-anniversary-and-steam-launch-on-august-23/ Also, Raptors and Springers are available to End of Dragons owners, but you still need Path of Fire to learn their masteries. You may want to check you options for keybinds for mounts. and also the skill located just right of your elite skill, ( you can select which mount appears here, out of the available mounts ) just in case you may have missed something.

Dayra.7405 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) 44 minutes ago, Forgotten Legend.9281 said: free trial for the raptor mount But it's only a trial, he loose that mount after 10h gain (see above link). Should you be able to get it by lvling a char to 10,20,30,40,50,60,70 or 80, it will be free trial only as well (gone after 10h). To get a permanent one that you can master, you both have to buy PoF. On https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/230165307-Guild-Wars-2-Account-Types-Free-Core-HoT-PoF you can see all the things your account can and your friends f2p cannot (till be buys any expansion).

Luthan.5236 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Back then you had to "buy to play" (buy it once). Now it is free to play with limitations. The expansions lift the limitations (if buying one expansion). Though the old accounts that bought the core game should also be without the limitations. (See wiki for more details.) As others mentioned: The raptor the other person gut ... most likely was the free trial. (To get people interested in buying the expansions.) They probably have no way to technically give this to older accounts as well. I would suggest to try the mounts at the festivals ... best festival is Festival of the Four winds (even offers Griffon rental) ... then deciding whether to buy the expansions. (Ideally only if you feel sure that you might want to play a lot more - so you don't buy it and then notice that you lose interest fast again.) Remember: For the core maps though ... everything can be reached without gliding/expansions. (Even more "fun" if you like exploring. Some vistas need a bit of a longer more obscure way when you just can't fly to them. Though raptor would not help there anyway.)
