Leaper and Glider Mounts Coming Soon! [EverQuest II]

[RSS FEED]

Two new mount types will be introduced to the game later in June: "Leapers" and "Gliders". Leapers will be available to players who are level 30+ while Gliders will be available to players who are level 60+. These mounts will be obtainable through either the Marketplace or from adventuring or tradeskill quests. The flying mounts, introduced in the Destiny of Velious expansion, will remain restricted to adventurers and crafters level 85 or higher.

Leaper mounts can jump up and forward in tremendous bounds before falling, moving at speeds similar to flying mounts. You can control how high you jump, and you can steer while jumping using the movement keys. Obviously, you don't take falling damage when landing.

Gliders are similar to Leapers, but at any point in your jump, you can snap out your mount's wings and begin gliding, using the movement keys to control direction, even being able to tip up and climb for a while before descending again. You can also fold your wings in to start plummeting downward, and snap them out again at a different altitude.

Leapers require Level 30 to ride. Gliders require level 60.
