World of Warcraft Mount Purchase

If I purchase a flying mount from the Blizzard store will it work for my character who is only level 41, or do I have to level and get the more advanced riding skills to use it?


All three of the Blizzard Store mounts (the Heart of the Aspects, Winged Guardian, and Celestial Steed) work from Level 20 and 75 (slow ground) Riding Skill. They will not, however, allow the user to fly until the proper riding skills (225+ Riding, Flight Master's License/Cold Weather Flying) have been purchased (based on zone).
