White Tiger (Mount)

  I'm sure all you guys are aware of this pet now, but I wanna make a thread about it anyway.
  
  I just came back to Mabinogi (quit during G7) and after browsing through all of the new content... there's so much to do, first of all... but something which really caught my attention:
  
  OH MY GOD, the White Tiger mount. I want it so bad. Thank God I didn't miss the sale. (missed Griffin) :mad:
  
  I play an elf exclusively and this looks to be probably the most important pet we can have because it travels quickly on ground, and it will continue to attack while you're mounted on it and shooting. Plus it's sooo beautiful.
  
  It will be the first pet which I will put my heart and soul into levelling while it's still young to get amazing STR. The White Tiger will be my most trustworthy companion as I travel through the world of Erinn!
  
  I heard it was released during G12 of other versions of Mabinogi, so what are the chances of us getting it soon?
  
  I think I'll be praying for the release of this pet every time Mabinogi updates (including tonight).
  
  :lol: White Tiger appreciation thread!

  Sick, I didn't know it can attack while you're riding it. I'm human, but that's still pretty cool~

  I doubt we'll get it any time this month or december. Next year is my best guess, be it early or late in the year.

  This pet was released during G12S1 on other versions of Mabinogi. I don't understand your reasoning.
  
  I'd rather be hopeful anyway~ I'll be a little too busy for excessive gaming after December and I need to get my White Tiger to level 9000+.

  I'm waiting for this pet as well. I thought I heard somewhere that this pet was exclusive content to one of the mabi's and might not be realised or might not untill very far into the future. One of the most interesting and best looking pets imo, however most seem to be more interested in the Dragons (for good reason) so don't see to many talking about this one.

  Well, if I am correct the Dragon mount can attack while you're on it, but it's a flying mount so it moves more slowly than White Tiger on the ground. As an elf I'm more interested in having a mount that can attack together with me and also move quickly. If I wasn't an elf I'd want the Dragon much more.
  
  I don't know where you heard that it's exclusive content to one version, but the White Tiger is in the Japanese and Korean versions of Mabinogi.
  
  White Tiger was also just released in Chinese Mabinogi which is in G12S1, which makes me optimistic that we will be getting this pretty soon.

  i'm pretty sure the dragon mount runs as fast as a thoroughbred on the ground ... i have my griffins modded to it and i have SERIOUS rubberbanding issues because of the speed difference between shire and thoroughbred.

  Nexon NA has a tendency to release pets late to keep us occupied with guessing when they'll be released while waiting for stuff.

  Nexon at their best.
  
  Dragon pets outclass all pets with their epic elemental skill which can cause some pretty heavy damage. Let me find a video.
  
  EDIT: D: FFFF I can't find any QoQ

  I don't play foreign versions of Mabinogi, but I don't see how the Dragon would possibly run quickly on the ground. It flies quickly in the air and is amazing combat wise.
  
  If it was as fast as a horse on ground wouldn't that make like every pet in the game besides dragon obsolete? :lol:
  
  I see dragon as being a strong combat partner but not incredibly mobile. I bet it walks around like a Pelican on the ground but someone could confirm. It's as fast as a griffin in air, and fights much better than the Griffin, plus can attack with you on it. So how could it possibly run FASTER than a griffin?

  I heard many rumors about the dragon pet, that it is fast on ground, that elfs can shoot from its back *while on ground*. I mean If you look at the Dragon mobs they can't move but there Dash has epic ground speed. I can't really disprove any, all I know for sure is it is fast in air and it has a super skill :D R1 Pet skill nice. Can anyone with a Dragon pet confirm or disprove this rumors?
  
  Edit: A little more info on the dragons here http://www.mabidata.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=432 It seems they can use WM and o.O elfs can attack from the backs of them? It gives no info on Land speed however that air speed is epic with boost atleast for the Thunder Dragon.

  i heard the white tiger mounts were exclusive to china for the year of the tiger thing. just saying.

  The Thunder Dragon moves as fast as a Thorough on ground. As seen Here.
  
  White Tiger is not as fast. As seen Here.
  
  The White Tiger will probably become the second best combat pet but dragons, or at least the Thunder one, seem to outdo everything completely.

  That's the baby white tiger, not the mount.
  
  Also @Crimmy, wow. Dragons seem OP. I still really want the tiger, lol, but that's crazy that it moves that quickly on ground, can attack while mounted AND fly. I bet they'll cost like 30 bucks and Nexon will force us all to get them.
