Mount speed

 * See also: Movement rate

Mounts appear to have the following speeds (slowest to fastest): Slow1, Slow2, Run1, Run2, Fast.

Speed matching
It is believed (but not yet confirmed) that if you purchase a mount from the Marketplace with Station Cash, the mount (assuming it is not by default a "Fast" mount) will go at the speed of the fastest mount you own.

Pegasi mounts

Posted by Ngreth, EQ Developer regarding the new pegasi mounts only: You can't go just by the spell attached to the item.

There is a script that runs on the item, that check for a flag on your character. The flag is set by mount items. Depending on the flag it casts a different spell.

There are 5 mount speeds. 1-4 are readily available, 5 is raid/knight.

the script then looks for that flag. If it find none, or a 1 to a 4, it sets the flag to 4, and summons a speed 4 (the spell you mentioned)

If it finds a 5, OR that you are a knight with the appropriator AA... it sets the flag to 5, and cast the NEXT spell, which is the speed 5 mount.

Other Marketplace mounts

From the March 12, 2014 patch notes: "The Steed of War, Umbral Selyrah, Highland Cragslither, and Ornate Flying Carpet mounts will now properly summon their faster versions if you have used a raid speed mount."

Upgrade roboboar
It is possible to upgrade your roboboar to make it faster. See: Roboboar Conversions.
