Kris Zierhut put training at 100 or 1,000 gold in the developer interview. The character levels and any discounts are still to come.

BETA ECONOMY
Riding won’t be your biggest expense if you collect rare mounts.
A September 22 beta scan by Icy Veins reports the Black Market Auction House in Powderfuse Port, Riverglades, run by Madam Swyndle. These are observed starting bids from the beta, not fixed launch prices.

Rare mounts
Those starting bids are well beyond riding money. Keep rare Black Market purchases separate from your training budget; the listings rotate and beta prices can still change.
TALENTS
What does dual spec cost?
Dual Specialization becomes available at level 40. Its purchase price and switching conditions remain unverified. The beta’s temporary talent-reset prices do not establish the launch cost.
You can prepare different setups now: compare creator builds or save your own in the talent calculator.
PROFESSIONS
Leave room for training.
Leave some gold for your next trainer visit and the materials your recipes need. We don’t yet have a complete Forever trainer-price list.

Before you buy
Do cosmetic mounts skip riding training?
No. Owning a cosmetic mount does not pay for the riding skill.
Is the higher-tier target my total cost from a fresh character?
The calculator treats it as one training purchase. It does not add earlier training or assume a discount.
What about trainer locations and level requirements?
Those details will be added alongside the prices when they are available. Check the trainer before setting off to buy a rank.
