Jethro.9376 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Play the story for PoF for the first mount. Same goes for the glider in HoT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 The gem store sells relatively few actual items, most of them (and everything in the style category like gliders and mounts) are just skins (alternate appearances) for other items. So you can't use them until you obtain the relevant items in-game.You can unlock gliding by doing the first part of the Heart of Thorns story and the raptor mount by doing the first part of the Path of Fire story. The other mounts are obtained later in Path of Fire. If you can tell us which mount you've got a skin for we can tell you exactly how to get it, or you can check out the Wiki: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rng.1024 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Step 1:Go to the official gw2 site and log onto your account to redeem your purchase, this is necessary to obtain all your purchases in game, including x-pacs:https://account.arena.net/login?_ga=2.268306126.1302660252.1536842118-496240116.1484094640Gems can take up to atleast 4 days to transfer mind you, so a little patience is needed. If the above link doesn't work just google "gw2 official website" or use the link in the game launcher to get there.Step 2:Your other orders should arrive in the in-game mail so just grab it from there and equip it,. To start either expansion's story press H and find the story tab then activate the one you want to try first.If I remember correctly you can use your glider instantly since you bought Heart of Thorns, while you have to do the first story mission of Path of Fire to unlock mounts.Happy exploring :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he might have the base game, used those gems but now find himself unable to use them or do the stories since the expansions haven't been activated. Tried to cover every angle, but ofc you may be completely right :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosmaster.8263 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Lol, that user name...the only thing you bought relative to gliders and mounts we're skins. You actually have to play the story to earn them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get it as a gift for helping the people (heart npc states this).https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/MountFor the glider you need to play the first HoT mission, reach the first HoT and skill the Glider Basics in the mastery system.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Glider_BasicsThe wiki links give details and can maybe answer follow up questions.

Kanimae.1735 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Getting the actual Griffon mount is quite the effort as you have to spend both quite a bit of in game gold and do quite a few tasks for it.Here's an extensive guide: http://dulfy.net/2017/09/24/gw2-griffon-mount-collections-guide/In the future....don't just throw money at things blindly like you did, educate yourself first.
