Depends on the class really, as a warrior I would probably always look for upgrades. And as a paladin and warlock I would not need the gold for my 40 mount, so could spend there… But as a hunter I would never buy anything other than a bow upgrade :mrgreen:
Are you not just savin 10g or so. I mean you get the mount for free but you still have to learn riding.
I dont think you need to buy the riding skill, i belive that's included when you learn the spell.
Depends on your gold situation really. If you've been doing a lot of gathering or something similar then chances are you'll have extra to spend on an upgrade here or there. Plus, one weapon doesn't hurt. It'd be another thing to buy upgrades for every slot frequently.
yeah theres definitely incentive to replace your old crappy gear if youre feeling like youre not doing so great grinding mobs of your level, and your gear is quite outdated, youre going to want to look into upgrading, ESPECIALLY at lower levels, it makes so much difference so its worth it to try and balance out your spending then between skills and gear.
usually when youre higher and youre able to do dungeons, plan your quest rewards out, but if you have that one item you've had forever its not a bad idea to buy something better.
I only like to buy greens from the hidden vendors around the world: I like to explore to find more of them so if they have something useful I usually buy it. It's like a self-reward for going out of my way :-)
Got some more of them hidden vendors location? 😬

Well, yes, but now that you make me think it would be better to have a separate thread where we list them. Probably people knows some that I don't know? Or a guide? Will check with teebling :D Thanks for the input, will let you know if I produce something
I craft greens while leveling on my Druids. I buy some weaps on a warrior while leveling. That's a personal choice/preference.
I'm always looking at new gear on the AH. I rolla druid, so not having gold for the 40% mount isnt as detrimental as say a warrior with no speed boost. Also, since I dont speed level, gold is rarely an issue for me (when mount is concerned), and if I dont have the mount at 40, i certainly have it by 42 or 43. Dungeons and gathering profs really help with the gold input, couple dugeon running and taking time out of your day to gather herbs, sell your cloth, herbs, and leather, and I have found that I have enough gold to look for upgrades almost every 2 levels when I come into learn spells.
I tend to only purchase big upgrades. I wont drop a gold or 2 on a green that only gives me +1 stat boost. But if I can get +3 or more overall stats, I tend to buy. Also, if I see an item cheap that I know will be used a long time, ill buy it a level or 2 in advance and just bank it.
Wands I will buy as a warlock. If there's a better wand. I want it. It's crucial for leveling. I'm really surprised at how insane wand damage is right now. Not sure if I just don't remember or what but this is something I will always spend money on when leveling.
Warlocks have a breeze. No mount costs and they can buy greens & blues BOE tailor that are nearly pre-raid BIS:

So i some cases it can work for you getting ahead at low costs.
