Gryphon mounts are the "default" rare flying mounts for Alliance players, and come in a variety of colors. The gryphons are capable of running on all fours like a cat for land travel, rendering it useful as a ground mount.
These mounts require Expert flying (costs 250 to train) and have a 100% land speed and 150%-310% air speed increase, cost 50 each. Faction reputation discounts applying to reduce the price.
Artisan (fast) mounts
These mounts give a 150%-310% speed increase in the air, and 100% on land.
This mount is available as a reward when a player uses a scroll of resurrection and the resurrected friend pays for at least 30 days of game time. After the resurrected friend pays for 30 days of game time, the player who sent the scroll of resurrection can claim a [Spectral Gryphon] on an Alliance character or a [Spectral Wind Rider] on a Horde character by logging into their battle.net account and viewing the scroll of resurrection page.
