Epic Riding skill is available at 40, down from 60. Cost is reduced to >50< gold, down from 600. !!!!!
Nonepic flying is available at LEVEL 60!!!!!!!!!!!! Speed is increased to 150%, up from 60%. Ground is still 60% though. Faction discounts apply now. (This is a major buff to this skill)
Epic Flying has not changed but the faction discounts now apply. At exhalted you'll pay 4k for the skill.
