Hi all,


Just been having some enjoyable sessions back in EQ2, neither of my three characters (Froglok Guardian, Warden and Ranger) have any free mount option so I was looking around for something to buy, I've been saving up like crazy so have about 30 plat between the three characters to buy a mount and about 270k status on each character for a mount which is at least a fair amount to me.

But looking around at the various sites there isn't an up to date one I can see, the best I can find is a non image one here

Apart from the dire bear mount you get free (which I have not realised about until recently ;) ) I'm tempted by the purple saddled Mistrunner since I guess the combat bonuses others give are fairly minor.

Just wondering here if there is any advice on this one? And I'd be interested to see what other people went for too.

Also in not in any of those guides are the new lava rhino and flying, flaming, carpet that came with the last update. These are fast and have some stats... a great cheaper alternative. I personally use the carpet. I think you have to do the quest lines 1st but they really arn't that hard.

Ah cheers, I did see the ten ton hammer one there too, while its updated though its missing so many now, the New Mount Guide is the most complete I've seen so far with pictures, although the text one gives everything so far I think (its missing the flaming carpet kottonmouth mentioned for sure).

While the flaming carpet has a nice touch to it I'm still tempted by a more old school spirit steed style mount, but especially for the warden I'd love to get Fitzpitzel's Hover Platform, but seeing that it needs a whole x4 raid at level 70 is needed it would be a tall order to get it. The mob himself looks easy enough though Fitzpitzle. I love their level rating there of "fun" :) Worth keeping EQ2 raid mobs as a link.

Another question then :) EQ2 raids, how do they work when you out level them? Can you go in say 10 levels above say an X2 raid and do fine with a party of six? I see the bosses all have levels there so will at least be low level to attack, that's one difference with WoW where a boss mob is always your level +3 for hitting etc.

Although in WoW the gear and character levels are so steep a difference that a level 80 character can solo a 40 man level 60 raid (Onyxia's Lair).
