This is great to have with the 10hr long missions.

I only have one follower with this trait so I am not sure if they stack.

Comment by Swordy

This mission is great for leveling your followers. Faster missions = more xp = faster epic followers! Combine this with the Hearthstone 33% experience trait for super levels!

Epic Mount is a Trait that simply makes good things better! It's always good and you'll probably find a place for it. But it's particularly great when you stack it wisely with other Traits.

One of the most effective is Burst of Power. It works as a Trait that significantly enhances the success rate of all of the missions which Epic Mount already shrinked. You'll have a 70%-80% chance just from it, the same as matching the Type of an enemy on a mission (while an Ability that counters directly goes to 100% if the follower level is close enough).

You can either use this for experience or gear, but here's something particularly in demand: Garrison Resources. For which there's Scavenger.

It is less often that there are Garrison Resources missions longer than 7h, but those longer ones are for groups. Then it's ideal for using on this important Trait (stacking with itself, so even 24h missions with room for 3 followers can go down to 6h).

Combinations of these 3 Traits are what you should be going for from the start. Choose one once a week at the Inn/Tavern or level characters with one of them, and hope to get another one when moving to rare or epic quality. They can be very useful in missions of any level.

If you're doing it for Garrison Resources, it's recommended to start leveling such a follower before you actually need to use them, to give it enough time to return your investment and then some. Since Epic Mount will allow you to use up more Garrison Resources on missions than you would normally, you need to choosely wisely and probably not accept some of them. The higher level they are compared to the mission, the better chance it will be as well, so if you prioritize them for XP whenever possible, you'll soon get great results.

I added the Hearthstone Pro trait that gives a 35% bonus to party followers to one of my followers with the Epic Mount trait. Unfortunately, it replaced Epic Mount, so don't think you can combine the two as suggested by Swordy. Now, I'm sad that I don't have epic mount anymore.

This is by far the best trait you can get, if you have an Inn make sure to request it. This ability stacks. 3 followers with epic mount training will cut a 10 hour mission down to 1 hour and 15 minutes which is amazing. Plus they also lvl faster simply because they can complete so many missions in half the time.

This trait is also good for dumping a 10 hour mission that rewards garbage you don't need. Just send 3 epic mounters on it and it's gone in an hour and 15 minutes. + you get the base exp even if you lose. The followers don't even need to meet Ilvl or lvl requirements to reduce the time.

Many of us have multiple level 90 alts that aren't yet 100, but we still want to recruit followers through the level 2 tavern. Unfortunately the Level 2 Tavern Blueprint says that it requires level 98 or a Spires of Arak outpost. You can get a Spires of Arak outpost at level 96, but there's a way to get the Tavern even earlier. You can actually get your level 2 tavern at level 92!

Here's how:
Step 1: Get your level 2 Garrison. This involves doing quest chains in Frostfire Ridge for Horde and Shadowmoon Valley for Alliance. You can follow This Guide to do this. You need to reach level 92 and get to Gorgrond, so do this on your way to level 92. I also recommend getting all of the followers in your starting zone while you're at it.
Step 2: Quest in southern Gorgrond and Complete Strike while the Iron is Hot. You can look at prerequisites to determine the fastest way to get this done, but from what I can tell, is you just have to finish the quest chains that are given to you when you first build your outpost. I got to level 93 with my non-rested alts, and 94 with most of my rested alts. I definitely did some unnecessary quests, so its possible you could get it at level 92 if you optimized the questing route.
Step 3: Take the Outpost Building Assembly Notes you get as a reward to Torgg Flexington in Warspear or Kinkade Jacobs in Stormshield in exchange for Garrison Blueprint: Frostwall Tavern, Level 2 for Horde, or Garrison Blueprint: Lunarfall Inn, Level 2 for Alliance.

Using this I got my 5 alts their level 2 tavern in about 2 days. Now i'm getting 6 recruits out of taverns per week with only one level 100!
