CSTM RECOMMENDATION: If you were looking to pick up a few zones you are missing, this is a great opportunity!
Riding Skill
The skill enables you to ride any permanent mount that your character has purchased or earned. Riding a permanent mount allows a character to travel up to 68% faster than going on foot. The skill is auto-applied upon purchase and can be reviewed in your character’s skill panel.
Store Location: Travel & Housing → Maps & Skills → Travel Skills
Levels: 5+

CSTM RECOMMENDATION: Riding skill is a store only purchase for our free or premium friends. VIPs have the option to earn the riding skill via a quest but they must wait until level 20 while this can be purchased at level 5 and it is pretty darn cheap.
Mount Speed Boosts
Increase the speed of your mount by 20% for 60 minutes! Single & 5-Stacks available.
Store Location: Travel & Housing → Movement Buffs
Levels: 5+
50-225
40-180
CSTM RECOMMENDATION: I’m not really certain why I would purchase this. Best scenario I came up with is you plan to go out and gather wood/metal for an hour and you want to race around a bit faster. Is that worth real life money? I guess that’s really for you to decide but as far as I’m concerned, no.
Hurried Traveller
Reduce the recovery time (cool-downs) on Milestone Skills by 30 minutes to use instant-travel more often! Works across all Milestone skills! This is a permanent unlock for your character.
Store Location: Travel & Housing → Travel Traits

CSTM RECOMMENDATION: I believe this may be the first time this item has been on sale. It gets a meh only because it depends on your play style (how much you use milestones or if you’re a hunter/warden) how useful this is. The only bummer for this item is that is it only per character so make sure you buy it on the character you want to have this skill!

Now it might sound odd, but I wish my vip would run out already. I dropped my sub but it aint running out until march. Shame that I cant take advantage of the questpack discount..

you can still buy the qp if your vip (i think so atleast)

Unfortunately it won’t appear in the store for him as VIP as with the subscription he “owns” those zones.

Someone told me once that you can call Turbine customer support and have your VIP suspended for a couple days, then reactivated…check it out…

Didn’t happen for me: contacted customer support and just got a “sorry, but we do not have a way to work around this problem at this time” reply. Was worth a try, I guess.

Some of the oneshot maps may well also be locked by a quest.
East angmar ones from lottery cant be used until you’ve done the epic book part for the watcher stones. Not bought store maps but would guess its the same thing.
Questpacks seem to be up more often in the sales. I remember it took months for me to see enedwaith come around.

ARGGGHHHH!!!! Just used my MoM code for the month of VIP last week. I’m going to miss the QP sale as well. Horrible timing.

The mount speed boost helps me outrun the wargies looking to pounce me in the moors. I honestly do think it’s just a tad bit too fast for them to get their dismount and daze skill off when you’re riding with it. Either that or they don’t bother chasing me and go for a slower target
My squishy huntard loves it either way!
