(Updated 2/22/2008 with data from Blizzard's Flying Mount Page)
I have to admit that I didn't realize when they said the "Turtle Mount wouldn't slow you down," and went at "100% speed" - apparently that means it's the same speed as run speed. I thought it meant it was the same speed as all other mounts. (Yeah, I musta skipped the day they talked about movement speed.) Figures. I should've known it was too good to be true to get a real mount before 40.
So I decided to make some crib notes on movement speed. My research pretty much consisted of some internet searching and a couple of days with a speed mod. Below are the results. I included links to some of the sources (identified with a letter or note of some sort because sometimes the same source provided multiple bits of speed data).
| Mode | Speed | Comments/Source(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Walk | 30% | Druid Table * |
| Swim (Normal) | 66% | Druid Table * |
| Druid in Prowl Form | 50-70% | Druid Table Thottbot-Prowl |
| Stealthed Rogue | 50-70% | Can be increased by talents. Post S |
| Run | 100% | Druid Table * |
| Druid Aquatic Form Swim | 100% | Druid Table |
| Druid in Travel Form | 140% | Druid Table |
Wisp Spirit (while dead) | 150% | 25% faster than normal ghost Source NER * |
| Standard Mount (Land) | 160% | Blizzard Source M * |
| Flight Public Transportation | 160% | Source P (#34) |
| Druid in Flight Form | 160% | Blizzard Source FM |
| Engineering Flying Machine | 160% | Blizzard Source FM |
| Epic Mount (Land) | 200% | Blizzard Source M, Source P (#34) Blizzard Source FM |
| Druid in Epic Flight Form | 280% | Blizzard Source FM |
| Engineering Turbo-Charged Flight Machine | 280% | Blizzard Source FM |
| Epic Flying Mount | 280% | Blizzard Source FM |
* = I saw this myself using the Speed mod.

One of the best benefits of my druid, IMO, was that at level 20 I got cat form and put the talent points in it to make cat form faster. As much traveling as a character does, it makes a huge difference in reducing travel downtime, and even allows you to quickly close on the next mob when grinding. Druid travel form at level 30 is great, too. And even when you get a mount, travel form is nice in TB because it pops instantly (unlike the wait for a mount), so when you lose travel form in the buildings linking the bridges you can just pop back into travel form once you exit, always at a full run.
I just love the druid class. It seems like a druid can do just about anything well.
