With the various addons for switching out gear (such a Titan Panel's built-in Rider, or Wardrobe), there's no reason to not get this sweet trinket. Combined with Mithril Spurs on boots and a Mount Speed Increase enchant on gloves, you'll zoom around, even more so with an epic mount.

Commentaire de 8271

Dude I loved this trinket when i had all these mount enchants. I zoomed around in my lvl 40 mount! I loved it i went 80% faster i believe! I love WoW and I love using this.

Obtained by finishing the Gahz'rilla quest, which you find in the Shimmering Flats. at the Raceway.

You need the mallet of Zul'Farrak to summon Gahz'rilla. but other then that the fight is extremely easy. Watch out for the flinging into the air, as it can hurt alot coming down!.

Bring the Electrified Scale back to the gnome at the Raceway and congratulations at your carrot on the stick.

Helps people with 40 mounts close the gap a bit between the 60 epic mounts.
3% increase to mounted speed, and some mithril spurs and riding glove enchant and you'll move noticably faster. Enjoy!

Commentaire de 8004

This trinket is definitely worth getting. Although 3% may seem very small, it makes the difference in saving a lot of time =)

Commentaire de 8159

Just to add to the goody goodness of this little trinket. This counts for all mounts. Including Gryphons. You might not think that is so great but have you ever had to fly from Eastern Plauge lands to Booty Bay? It takes forever I think this thing took like 2 mins off the flight time for me.

Commentaire de 8474

This quest is pretty easy. Took me a little while to get it. The trinket can give you a bit of a advantage at times when you may be try to get away from someone else on a mount. It also helps speed up your flight path, but by very little.

Does it work on flying mount? ;)

Commentaire de 21239

Is there any way to repeat this quest to get the trinket if you accidentally got rid of it?

60% mount = from 160% to 164.8%
100% mount = from 200% to 206%

Does this make flying mounts go faster also?

Commentaire de dinnerbone

Looks like this, along with the other mount trinkets, are getting a huge buff & nerf all rolled into one ball of "Wait... what?" in 2.4.2
Any ideas?

Nope, they aren't going faster.

Or slower.

Two words: MOUNT. ENCHANTS.

Tooltip for Carrot on a Stick: "Permanently enchant a mount to increase its mounted speed by 3%. You may only enchant mounts in your own inventory, and enchanting your mount will cause it to become soulbound. Single use."

Unconfirmed changes according to http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=6699.0, might not make it into Live or even the PTR, but I'm still posting here in any case.

Carrot on a Stick is useful, I'll admit (I have it equipped most of the time).
But doesn't the item itself (not taking bonuses into account, just what the item really is) make the guy who gives it to you seem like kind of an ungrateful bastard?

You almost get killed by trolls and a Hydra just getting the scale for him, and he gives you a carrot tied to a stick...

Wrong this trinket only gives 3% from 0. It explains that it increases it value with 3 points if you read the detailed tooltip. This mean that your mountspeed will be 103 and not 4.8% more.

Commentaire de Heekale

This item is not only a simple speed enhancer. It is also the ultimate World Of Warcraft metaphor. Your mount walks toward the carrot, and when it wants to bite the carrot moves away. Much like every quest gives another quest, rewarding you with items with which you can accomplish more difficult quests, which again rewards you. Et cetera. Not unlike life, by the way. Ah well, do not let it bother you. Have fun.

Commentaire de 89783

I have recently made an Death Knight which is level 58. I use it to farm pre-TBC ores to earn some money.
I have put the 20% increase mount speed talent in unholy.
I have mithril spurs on boots which increase mount speed by 4% and I could pick this up for an extra 3% speed.

But do all these "things" stack for 27% mount increase speed?

Commentaire de Thottbot

Yes, carrot on a stick does make you faster. I ahd somebody set on follow and after a short period of time I was outrunning them. 3% adds up a wee bit for long distance travels.

Commentaire de Thottbot

To clear everything up:

Mounted:
Mithril Spurs 8%
Minor Mount speed Increase 4%
Carrot on a stick 3%

The reason I can prove this is from an AddOn called Monkeyspeed downloadable http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=234. All it does is show your speed as a %.

Posted by: killswitch1968 <Penumbra>
Carrot: 5%
Riding Enchant: 3%

They stack for 15% overall.(##RESPBREAK##)908##DELIM##Uchur##DELIM##

Commentaire de Thottbot

This quest is easy.

1. Go to Hinterlands and kill Qiaga the Keeper at Altar of Zul for the Sacred Mallet. She was 50 ish and pretty easy.

2. Go to Jintha'Alor (also in Hinterlands) and climb to the top. Follow the paved trail and take any stairs up that you find. Once you hit the top floor go to the left and follow the trail to the amphitheatre. There is an altar there with a quest guy flopped on it. You don't even have to kill the named priestess that is in the ampitheatre because she paths inside a cave there... So just wait for her to leave and run up to the alter and right click your Sacred Mallet, and you will receive the Mallet of Zul'Farrak.

3. Go to the Shimmering Flats and find Wizzle Brassbolts at 77,77. He will give you the quest for ZF instance and Gahz'rilla.

4. Go to ZF instance. Hang nothing but lefts until you reach a large open area with a big swimming pool in the middle and a gong at one end of it. You right click this gong and your hammer will smack it and summon Gahz'rilla. He was 46 ish for us and wasn't terribly hard. He does knockback, so clear as much of the room as you can for safety reasons. Loot Gahz'rilla's Electrified Scale off of him and return to Wizzle Brassbolts.

The hardest pull in ZF is a 5 pull (in the room with the pool), but most are 3 ish. Have a mage and a group that isn't retarded, and it's a breeze.

Once you get your carrot bank your completed hammer. Anytime somebody wants to do the quest in the future, it should be possible to have them just get the quest from Wizzle and go to ZF with them. Spawn the named, kill, and let them return to Wizzle. Only one person in each group needs the hammer and everybody can receive Gahz'rilla's Electrified Scale.

Vist http://www.calloffate.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32423&PN;=1 for good maps of everything.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Well, I have the Mithril Spurs, and I just got the carrot last night, and this is what I observed:

Default speed on mount: 160%
Mount speed w/spurs: 166-167% (varied)
Mount speed w/spurs and Carrot: 171-172%

I haven't found someone to do the glove enchant yet.

I'll continue testing and see what I find.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I completed this quest yesterday.

The Hinterlands parts were an easy solo with my 60 rogue. Stealthed in to kill the first named priest, sapped her partner.

Second part of making the hammer was easy to, made the hammer while stealthed at the alter. Vanished when done.

Gahz'rilla in Zul'Furak though, this guy is tough.
I died 3 times, but was able to do it in the end.

It's easy to get to him stealthed, using Atlas.
First of all, kill all the roamers around the pool area where you summon Gahz or they will get in the way. I learned this the hard way.

He casts several spells, most of which I resisted, and every once in awhile he will throw you up in the air. I had no buffs, and I had to use a healing potion. I survived with 30hp.

I have mostly blue armor, with some greens. I am using a Mass of Mcgowan main hand and a Shadowblade off hand. With about 3500hp and 575 attack power. No resists.

Hope that helps.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Also the carrot on a stick, spurs and enchant are worth it for 40 mount (riding enchant cost about 5 1/2 gold wich was easily spared.

Get spurs, carrot and enchant if u plan on using ur mount lots.

Commentaire de Thottbot

You pick up the quest from Wizzle Brassbolts in Shimmering Flats to kill Gahz'rilla for the Carrot on a Stick.

Commentaire de Thottbot

You can, but the abilities don't stack. I think whichever one u equipped first gives the bonus.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Everybody, and I mean everybody is wrong about the speeds quoted.

The best description is on the Mithril Spurs page by Yoda_of_Borg.

Please do not post stuff if you don't know what you're talking about. Just because you're using monkeyspeed doesn't mean you're right either.

A brief summary taken from the linked page:
Riding Skill Enchant = 2%
Carrot on a Stick = 3%
Mithril Spurs = 4%
Riding Crop = 10%

About riding crop!
If you have the riding crop you need nothing else. Nothing else stacks with it. Riding crop is the fastest and best thing you can have.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I think that they should change this to gnome on a stick... My kodo just looooves gnomes!

Commentaire de Thottbot

Horde picks up the quest at the same location as Alliance, at the race way in Shimmering Flats.

Does this stack with Animal Handler Rank 2 (Increases your speed while mounted by 8%)?

Will I get the effect of carrot on top of that?

Commentaire de Thottbot

no i read in one of the guides
The Hunter's talent Animal handeler does not stack with any mount bonuses.

This includes: Enchants
Carrot on a Stick
Spurs etc.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Any side whether Horde or Alliance can get it. From Wizzle Brassbolts at Thousand Needles. Then ull need to do ZF

Commentaire de Thottbot

It is not necessary to do the hammer quest yourself. You must have someone in your party that has the hammer on them to be able to summon Ghaz.

There is no prerequisite to obtaining the hammer. While the Ancient Tablet will tell how to go about starting and doing the quest, that item is not necessary either.

You can obtain the mallet you need by heading to 48.68 in the Alter of Zul, Hinterlands. There you will find Qiaga (50 or so elite, you’ll want some help). Kill that mob and the mallet drops.

From there you need to head east to 57.78 in Jintha’Alor, also in the Hinterlands. This is a hard trip to make, if you are a lower level and don’t have a group. The nice part to this, is you can chain res to the top. Just make sure you get naked on your way in, and always die close to a wall that is on a higher level. That way you can rez going straight up the tower without a lot of wasted deaths or time. Once you get to that point, rez and right click the alter and the hammer is instantly transformed. You will die again, but there is no quest to accept or channeling time. You can then spirit res.

At this point you can go to Ironforge and get the quest in Tinker Town which sends you to the Shimmering Flats or you can just head there and get it there. Head to the mirage raceway to obtain the quest.

By this time your rez sickness will have worn off, and you are ready to hit Zul’Farrak.

To get to the place to summon Ghaz, after you enter ZF take a left each time you can until you see a large pool of water. Clear around that pool to make some room. The person who has the mallet then hits the gong with it. Ghaz spawns in the pool and walks out of it up the steps.

Ghaz will use an ability that will knock your party into the air, where you will suffer falling damage, amongst other attacks/skills. To nullify this, have your ranged dps and healer in the pool of water for the duration of the fight. When you get knocked into the air, you will land back in the water and the whole party will not have suffered damage, just the melee classes, lessening the burden on your healer. The required quest item is an “all loot”, so everyone on the quest will complete it when he dies.

*******************************************************

All those who say that this is a waste and the crop is better… well… are missing the point. You cannot wear the crop until 69, so having this, the glove enchant, and spurs will help you until then. Faster mounted speed is less down time traveling and questing and therefore is faster leveling.

If you don’t like switching out your gear, download Itemrack or one of its equivalents as an add-on. Most of the equipment mod have a build in allowance for setting gear for events (like auto-equipping gloves with a herbalism when you pick flowers; slapping on boots, gloves and the carrot when you mount) and de-equipping the items after the event is over.

The crop will replace all these items when you get up ther in levels, but the enchant, spurs and carrot will get you there faster.

Have fun!

Oh yeah, I’m back suckers (If you knew the old Antimodes on Alleria, now reborn as Antimodez)

Commentaire de Thottbot

OK. Let's get this straight. I used a speed measuring mod, so don't complain. These are the REAL percentages.

Carrot on a stick : 3%
Mithril Spurs : 6%
Glove Enchant : 6%

They Stack up to 15% total.

Th carrot can be understood for most organic mounts, most animals do like carrots. The one I can't understand is the engineered flying mount. Same goes for the riding crop. Why a broom would want a carrot I have no clue either.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Just done some tests ... if your a hunter and have the animal handler talent, the carrot, gloves and boots do stack to 315% of normal run speed, have tested this with monkey speed and its an overall increase of 9.5% so its not that bad, haven't bothered with a crop as i don't think it will stack, if i get some spare mats and time to make one

Commentaire de Thottbot

Wow... so I am a ret paladin, the fastest class in the game right now, with a 15% increase in speed WITHOUT crusader aura, I am a blacksmith, and I have had carrot on a stick, and have been experimenting how to chase down and run away from other players on mount. So through practice, I know a LITTLE bit about mount speed.

First mithril spurs DO NOT stack with any of these, and as a matter of fact carrot on a stick does not stack with anything else. You can have both carrot on a stick and mithril spurs, and be a paladin with 15% speed increase or even a hunter with 8 and guess what the fastest you'll go is?

15%. These effects DO NOT STACK, and unfourtanetly for everybody in the game, they probably never will. :(

However, if you want to go fast, just group up with either a paladin or hunter, and get the crusader aura or aspect of the cheetah, and you'll go pretty fast :)

Commentaire de Thottbot

REMEMBER! YOU NEED A PERSON WITH THE MALET OTHERWISE THE ZF RUN WAS ALL IN WASTE! :OOO

Commentaire de Thottbot

Should a hunter have if he has animal handaler(in beast mastery)? or does it make animal handaler slower?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

are you stupid ?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I use Carrot on a Stick, mithril spurs, and riding skill enchant on gloves. I use the Monkey Speed addon to tell how fast I'm going, and it always reports a slower speed when I remove any one of the three items.

I can't wait to get a riding crop in a couple of levels. It does NOT stack with anything else, but it is a bit faster than the carrot, spurs, and glove enchant combined. I confirmed this by racing a friend who has the same speed mount as me, but he uses the riding crop. Slowly, but surely, he passed me.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I have tested this also against others with spurs only. You go faster with the spurs + carrot, although it's not a big difference (3% is pretty negligable unless your traveling very far distance)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Doesn't stack, not worth it...sits in bank

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I'm a lvl 44 mage with a mount. Why isn't Rizzle Brassbolts giving me the quest for the carrot? He has no exclamation point over his head and only says something innocuous like "Hi, how are you?" when I right (or left) click on him.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Now, Using the CORRECT %'s from deathzstart's post (I swear, people have no common sense.), I will show you the increase in speed, as that is another argued topic...

Lessay, just for ease, that the running speed of a character is 100. Now, your mount increases your speed by 60%. 60% of 100, is 60. So now, adding together, you go 160. 60% more. 100% increase on an epic mount, meaning 100% of 100, added to 100. 200. You now go the speed 200.

Now you get that damn carrot.

Mount increase is 60%. Carrot makes it 63%. Simple. Epic mount is 100%. Carrot makes is 103%.

63% of 100 (still running speed), is 63. 63 added to 100 is 163. You now go 163. Epic increase is 103%. 103% of 100 is 103. 103 added to 100 is 203. You now go 203.

If you have all the increase gear (well, at least all the ones listed in deathzstart's post, lest there be more), you get a 15% increase. Mount increase is now 75%, as opposed to 60%, and the Epic mount is now a 115% increase. 75% of 100 is 75, and with is you will move at the speed, 175. 115% of 100 is 115. Ba-dum-chhh! You should get it by now.

Don't argue anymore. Everything has been cleared up. Yep, in the last few posts. So stuffit and argue on who needs it more.

Here's the run down (credits to Auenwing)

1. Go to Hinterlands and kill Qiaga the Keeper at Altar of Zul for the Sacred Mallet. She was 50 ish and pretty easy.

So just wait for her to leave and run up to the alter and right click your Sacred Mallet, and you will receive the Mallet of Zul'Farrak.

3. Go to the Shimmering Flats and find Wizzle Brassbolts (Wizzle, not Rizzle) at 78,77. He will give you the quest for Zul'Farrak instance (in Tanaris) and Gahz'rilla.

4. Go to Zul'Farrak instance. Hang nothing but lefts until you reach a large open area with a big swimming pool in the middle and a gong at one end of it. You right click this gong and your hammer will smack it and summon Gahz'rilla. He was 46 ish for us and wasn't terribly hard. He does knockback, so clear as much of the room as you can for safety reasons. Loot Gahz'rilla's Electrified Scale off of him and return to Wizzle Brassbolts.

Once you get your carrot bank your completed hammer. Anytime somebody wants to do the quest in the future, it should be possible to have them just get the quest from Wizzle and go to ZF with them. Spawn the named, kill, and let them return to Wizzle. Only one person in each group needs the hammer and everybody can receive Gahz'rilla's Electrified Scale.

I solo'd this at level 66 just to see if it could work with another trinket and it was cake. So if you are higher levels, stuff won't even attack you.

I have the carrot trinket, minor mount speed enchant to gloves, and spurs to boots, and they all stack for about a 15% increase. i have tested this with one person with nothing, one person with one, one person with two, and me with all three using auto follow and there is a noticable difference between all of them.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

This does not increase the speed of your mount -- this increases the speed of "air mounts" only. So, when you take that griff ride across the world, that 20 min flight from Darkshore to Theramore is now only 19 min 24 seconds!

Ummm... yeah... junk alright...

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Previous versions of the Cosmos run speed and Telo's Clock mods had a bug which did not calculate run speed correctly.

The correct speeds are:

Regular 160%
Carrot 165%
Spurs 166%
Carrot+Spurs 171%

You can find more info about the fix at the WoW interface forum.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I was riding along the side of someone else, both of us were mounted, and I had this equipped but he didn't. Nor did he have spurs attached, but some how he was running the same speed as I was. So I'm wandering if this is bugged or broken as of the latest patch?

Mithril Spurs 8%
Minor Mount speed Increase 4%
Carrot on a stick 3%

Total 15% Increased mount speed.

Get this, enchant a pair of gloves with mount speed increase, and have a blacksmith fit a pair of boots with mithril spurs. Then get yourself a mod that auto-swaps riding skill items as soon as you mount (Titan bar has one). Won't insanely increase your riding speed, but has a definate edge over a rider without these.

Does anyone have any idea if the carrot and the boots and the glove enchant do ANYTHING at all to the flying mounts?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Just think people this makes you go a little faster.
So your riding next your friend, and you over take him.
Defiantly worth it.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I just did extensive testing of this item on the same terrain (road in STV). I don't believe that the spurs and the carrot stack. I measured my speed using the gauge listed in the Clock addon (available in Cosmos or as a standalone addon from Telo).

Nothing equipped: 157.14% of run speed
Carrot only equipped: 171.43% of run speed
Boots with spurs only equipped: 171.43% of run speed
Boots with spurs and carrot equipped: 171.43% of run speed

So as you can see, it appears that while the carrot DOES increase mounted speed, it does not appear to stack with mithril spurs, which increase mount speed the same amount. Perhaps this is by design, and there is simply a cap on mounted (non-epic) speed. That is my conclusion, unless the speed increase is just not regisering with the addon.

I highly recommend all 40+ characters to have a high level friend run you through this quest. The time you save by going faster is priceless.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

It makes you faster...that's all you need to know!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

It increased the speed of my mount. I always catch up to people when I auto follow when they don't have this equipped.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I finally hit level 69 and started using the Riding Crop. I use MonkeySpeed to tell how fast I am going.

With my previous setup (carrot, riding skill gloves, and spurs) I was going 219% of normal running speed.

With the Riding Crop I now go 220%, so it only makes about 0.5% difference in speed.

Although it doesn't stack with the old riding gear and it's pretty expensive, I really like two advantages of switching to the riding crop.

1: If I get knocked off my mount by a mob, I'm only missing one trinket for the fight instead of having to also use junk riding gloves & boots as well (since my good ones are always equipped now).

2: I save a couple bag slots because I was able to get rid of my old riding gear.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

personally this item is over-rated. after having this trinket for 10 levels i can say that its not that great at all and infact you WILL NOT notice the difference with it or without it

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Question: Has anyone done any testing to see if this increases for epic mounts?

Regular Mount
(+60% Run Speed) x 3% = (160%) x 3% = 164.8%

Epic Mount
(+100% Run speed) x 3% = (200%) x 3% = 206%

So for an epic mount, it adds 6% increase versus a 4.8% increase. Insignificant, but mathematically, it should add in more for the epic mounts, since it's "+% to MOUNT speed", and not "+% to speed while mounted".

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I prefer a much better explanation than number-crunching:

It makes you go faster.

Much like a nice go-faster stripe, or decal of a cheeta running.

this is one of the most entertaining threads i've ever read thx to all posters
LOL LOL

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I have a lvl 46 Troll mage...where can the horde get this quest?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

on land mounts and it DOES stack with mithril spurs.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

ok my only question is, why do i want to go faster, lol.
i know it sounds stupid, but why take up a trinket slot if
its just to make my mount faster, when i could use a trinket
that makes me better?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Okay. So. You have increased speed at 60% with your level 40 mount, right? Some dumbass level ? passes you by while your riding somewhere.. then he starts attacking you, while your still on your mount. Well, Wala! With just that 3% extra.. is just enough to get you by and hes not throughing crazyass spells that have a 40 yard range at you to knock you off your mount because your just a tid bit faster. =D

Commentaire de Jaquesante

To actually clear everything up:
The game engine does not round up or down, at all.
Mithril Spurs 4%
Minor Mount speed Increase 2%
Carrot on a Stick 3%

The stack multiplicatively for a total of 174.81984% speed for 60% mount, or 218.5248% for 100% mount.

Commentaire de Bjornara

Eperons en mithril: 4% mounted speed increase, obtained from blacksmithing.
Carotte et bâton: 3% mounted speed increase, obtained from Gahz'rilla in Zul'Farrak.
Ench. de gants (Equitation): 2% mounted speed increase, obtained from enchanting.

A factor that seems to confuse many is that these effects stacks multiplicatively and not additively, meaning that the total benefit from having all effects active is 9.26% ((1.04*1.03*1.02-1)*100) as opposed to 9% (2%+3%+4%).
Also, this increases your mounted speed and not only the speed of the mount. This speed will either be 160% or 200% depending on what mount you got.

Regular mount: Carotte et bâton gives 4.80% speed increase, all bonuses combined gives 14.82% speed increase.
Epic mount: Carotte et bâton gives 6.00% speed increase, all bonuses combined gives 18.52% speed increase.

Use /run print(GetUnitSpeed("player") / 7 * 100) ingame if you want to check/verify this, it shows the current speed percent you're moving in in the chat frame.

Commentaire de Boopyhead

Easy summary for people playing Classic!

There are 4 tiers of speed enhancements. These tiers DO NOT STACK WITH EACH OTHER, so if you have a better tier, you cannot get any of the bonuses from any of the lower tiers.

Tier A: Paladin's Aura de croisé (+20% mounted speed), given at level 62 in TBC.
Tier B: Paladin's , Talent 3/3 (+15% mounted speed AND on-foot runspeed), requires 13 points in the Retribution talents. NOTE: Before TBC, in vanilla, it was only +8% speed and required 12 points.
Tier C1: Trinket Patron : Cravache d'équitation (+10%), created by leatherworkers. Despite what you may think, it DOESN'T stack with ANY other items/enchants (from the lower tiers).
Tier C2 ("Free" Alternative): Trinket Fouet de brise-ciel (+10%, Quest Reward), gained by learning Epic Flying at level 70, becoming Honored with the Netherwing, and defeating all of their races in the sky and defeating the final quest, Course Gueule-de-dragon : Capitaine Fracasse-ciel (something a lot of players give up on due to the difficulty of beating the racers).
Tier D: The "vanilla WoW solution": Carotte et bâton (+3%, Quest Reward) and Formule : Enchantement de gants (Equitation) (+2%) and Plans : Eperons en mithril (+4%) = Around 9%, but not exactly due to how multipliers stack, but it's less than 10%.

Hope this helps you!

Commentaire de Frakman

Just toggle auto-run on and type this on chat (or make a macro) to have your true speed printed. No addons, no false %s, no BS.

/run print(GetUnitSpeed("player") / 7 * 100);
