Do I need the riding skill?!

[Guildmasta]

Me and some friends are currently working on the Glory of the Hero acheivement (need two, Mosh Pit and Cleaning Up), when we get it we'll get Reins of the Crimson Cloud Serpent.

Question: Will we need Cloud Serpent Riding to be able to ride it?

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

I believe every Serpent mount requires Cloud Serpent Riding.

Only when in Pandaria I believe

As per the item's tooltip:

Reins of the Crimson Cloud Serpent

Yes.

[adam86shadow]

Isn't it called Wisdom of the Four Winds?

Ah I see....

There are two different riding skills in Pandaria. One is to use any flying mount there. The other is to use the Cloud Serpent mounts, which require you to get exalted with the Order of the Cloud Serpent faction.

Wisdom of the Four Winds is what lets you fly in Pandaria. Cloud Serpent Riding is what lets you ride cloud serpents.

You didn't at first, but I think you do now, or they are changing it soon.

Sweet, thanks for the info guys. Just started the Cloud Serpent dailies so I should have the skill before we make the Clean Up run
