      Just to summarize the information about this:
      You get this from "Honest" Max in K3 in Storm Peaks BEFORE and only before learning Cold Weather Flying.
      You can only mount this in Scholozar Basin, Storm Peaks, and Ice Crown.
      This will stay in your inventory, it's not learned like other mounts.
      You get to keep it forever, even after learning Cold Weather Flying.
      This can be mounted while in combat to escape.
      It is 60% flight speed, same as all normal flying mounts, so unless you have a particular reason to fly elsewhere in Northrend, you might as well save that 1000g to put toward Artisan Riding if you don't have it already.

      EDIT: As of 3.1.0 you can no longer use this while in combat.

        Mine disappeared, I might have thrown it away by mistake.

        Is there a way to get it back? I went to k3 but it doesn't tell me anything about it.


        Help plz.

      Since this isn't a very fast mount, who would want to ride it, anyway?
      People would use this because they dont have cold weather...
      as of 3.2.0 it doesnt work because of new flight speeds

      You get it if you reach level 77 but haven't paid for flying training, and need to do the flying quests in storm peaks. You can't get it if you have already paid for flying at 70.

      From the comments on the horde version... it is terribly slow.

    Theres a dude a K3 near flight master just talk to him BAM! like magic got a free flyer no money its a normal flyer mayb no best but better than paying 6k gold for epic flyer and cold weather flying you can use in 3 zones that need flyers (i like them)

    This is the best "Mount ever" Why?
    When you're in combat you can still use it to mount up and fly away.
    I was using this to raid the ships in Icecrown, even when you're netted you can still use it and fly away.
    Stun effects, movement impairing effects, effects that make you lose control all dont apply to you anymore on this mount.
    A warlock kept constantly fearing me (up until the point I was immune)but I had complete control the whole time.

    Dunno if they'll fix it in the next patch

    yup, useable in combat, and this mount (wind rider for horse) is only way to get the mine sweeper achivement, because loaned gryphon/wind rider has over 11k HP, and takes only 500 dmg from each mine. hitting a mine DOES NOTdismount you, the gryphon is considered a vehicle.

      Does it work all over Northrend?.... How about outlands?

      More thoughts:

      I have to say thanks to Blizzard for this. I am trying to do things the right way here. I have never purchased gold and have only have what I have from working the game and keeping my professions up to date. I am a Warrior who is a skinner and a leatherworker. I have this main and an alt that I keep at the auction house. I have never had more than 3200G. Because warriors are so gear dependant, I have spent a lot on armor and weapons. Oh yeah and training. For me to come up with 1800G just to fly is absurd.

      Maybe this is a slower mount, but it gets me to where I want to go and it was free for all intensive purposes.

    This was good for my alt until i could afford epic flyer. And the people who say this is for people who can't use money, it's not, just for people that are just short of getting an epic flyer for their 2nd character.

    This is by far Bizzard's greatest gift to wowkind. I don't even need to be trained past
    150 riding to get this. totally F R E E by talking to the guy at k3 next to FP, then check
    your bags, should be in there. I talked to guy but didn't realize what he dropped in
    my bag lol(guess i should read).

    Can be mounted in combat! costs you ZERO gold, gets you through quests you will
    need. worry about 225+ riding and epic mount at 80. This will suffice nicely and does
    tricks too! ^^

    i took this mount while questing be4 lvl 80, and i kept using it while farming enough gold to buy Artisan flying + Northrend, but since patch 3.2 i can t use this mount anymore. It s still in my inventory but when i try to use it, it says that i can t use it here, of course im using it in the allowed zones. Does any1 know what to do to make it work properly? should i delete and take another from the vendor??

      This was a bug in 3.2.0.

      It was fixed in 3.2.0a.  You can now use the Loaned Gryphon without needing Cold Weather Flying again.



      Incidentally, I've confirmed that you don't EVEN need 225 Riding Skill to use this item!  I've been using it at 150 Riding Skill since I turned 77.

    Yeah, I know, I know... it's part of the game, and by the time you get to X level you should have X amount of gold. That's not the issue. The issue is providing a useful and vital bit of gameplay and then arbitrarily taking it away.  How is gameplay made better and how does Blizzard benefit from removing the "loaner" flying mount? Do they get any real money from the gold now required to fly in certain areas that they didn't before? Are the quests more fulfilling and attract more players if the mount isn't loan-available? No to all.
    It's a powerplay by Blizz, pure and simple, and we're stuck with it if we want to keep playing. We play the game and Blizz plays with us. And I've paid enough money into this game to have my opinion on this.
