notebene.3190 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 If you are a bit of a map clearing + insight retentive person, like me, do you get more mileage out of Jackal 3 or Skimmer 3 with respect to getting to insights and map clearing objects, at least through the first 3 zones?I ask because I was looking at Dulfy's Desert Highlands insight guide, and was surprised to see some Jackal 3 in there, and only some 'basic skimmer' in the first two zones.

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 To help you find & upgrade mounts, the forum's own @"Rikimaru.7890" has posted an awesome guide. It offers an answer to your question about why you want Jackal 3 first (short version: because there are so many more mastery points that become available once it's unlocked).Mount Training Crash CourseThe tl;dr is:Find raptorTrain it to T3Get Springer & SkimmerTrain Springer to T3Get the JackalTrain Jackal to T3Train Skimmer to T3Train all to T4 (or save some mastery points for ... see spoiler above).The full post explains why this order makes your life easier, where to go, and the specific benefits.See also my repost of a reddit thread that compares the actual speeds of the mounts (and to various "on foot") variations.

notebene.3190 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thank you! I 'suspected' that was the route I needed to go, but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Got my Jackal since I posted, trying to level it up. I had leveled the Skimmer up to 2, but haven't bought it yet. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephylon.4938 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I agree with Ill's list, jackal 3 is needed for specialization collections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebraKadabra.5278 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 @Illconceived Was Na.9781 You freaking ROCK. I've been following those steps unknowingly, and got Springer to 3 before I went to get my Skimmer, but I was chatting in Black Citadel with another player last night and what he and you said confirm that I'm good to go ahead and get the Jackal.Woo mounts!!! LOLAnyway, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
