Also you can get faction with Order of Flame at the Temple of Thunder in Lavastorm. The merchant to left of temple sells the new lavacarpet it speed is 55% and only costs like 3plat. Very good bargain.

You also have to be close to level 80 for the LS carpet. Another option available at around 70 is going to the Moor's and doing the quest for the "Bogstrutters" walking stick, it's a 35% run speed buff. Not exactly mount speed but it does work in indoor zones.

You do have to do a questline to get one specific location update, involving high 70 level mobs. I believe the Fae might be able to float down to the Crown location, or a featherfall potion might work, but I'm not sure if that works.

That I doubt to be quite honest. There's that single npc in Maj'Dul that needs to be taken out along the way, can't remember his name, he one shotted me even with him being grey to me at the time. 12000 damage in one blow is too much, heck even now I couldn't take that much damage.

Not sure if that's been changed though, it really has been a while ago.

The questline for that carpet is done very rapidly with a decent group though, I've heard calls for such groups only recently so it's still done too.

He hits hard, but not as hard as the chap flying around on the carpet that will join in if he spots you fighting! That can easily wipe a group (yep, got the T shirt)

The final step, you will be looking for a full group, even if he is grey. The guy is tough.


On another note, a good speed buff is the earring reward from the crafter epic quest. It might take less time to save up for a horse though, rather than levelling up a crafter into the high 70's then doing an 'epic' quest. Failing that, find a nice healer to cast Spirit of the Wolf on you to give a speed boost for a short time.


Edit: Better still, if you have Shadow Odyssey expansion, /claim your Bear Whistle which will summon a Ykeshan bear than can be ridden once you hit level 20. It's speed increases as your level does.

Killing one kicks off a ring event where more attack you, eventually culminating in the spawning of a named guy who can drop a decent chest from what I understand. Still probably not worth the effort, but it's still neat.
