The new Wind Runner mount looks to be the last one (in a long time), as it is unlocked only by gaining Marshal title.
Anyone knows its stats?

160 Speed, 10000 HP
I will let you know tomorrow once I get it.
But I would imagine the over all experience (like Dragon vs. Bear) scales appropriately so for the same exp spent, you gain more HP.
In the mail, it says that the windrunner is the first of their additional mounts.
Information on whether or not there will ever be a transfer / resale / trade-in feature would be awesome. It would help us with planning ahead.
The Wind Runner starts with 10k HP and it costs 3500 exp to get to 1st star which is then 20k HP.
I would suspect the experience doubles each time similar to dragon with HP going up by 10k increment.
so 7k exp = 2nd star
14k exp = 3rd star
28k exp = 4th star
56k exp = 5th star
112k exp = 6th star
224k exp = 7th star
.
.
.
That's quite a good scale we have for the Wind Runner.
Comparing it with the Dragon:
Dragon(xp) WR(xp) Dragon(hp) WR(hp
0 0 8000 10000
2500 3500 16000 20000
5000 7000 24000 30000
10000 14000 32000 40000
20000 28000 40000 50000
40000 56000 48000 60000
80000 112000 56000 70000
As you can see, it takes 37500 dragon xp to get the same hp bonus as 24500 wind runner xp.
Anything past that and the wind runner leaves the dragon behind.
Since the Dragon was only introduced a few weeks ago, even if Tynon don't implement an xp-transfer option, you would still come out ahead purchasing a wind runner asap.
I believe the other mounts that was mentioned in the patch notes email are lesser-quality ones, which might have some interesting properties, to be introduced in the future.
Major, Knight-Captain, Knight and Master Sergeant Titles don't have any mounts unlocked with them, thus these are the quality levels I would expect the new mounts to be introduced in.
As it is, the Wind Runner is the mount that Marshall Title unlocks. If ever a higher quality mount is introduced in the future, it would also entail having a new title past Marshall, a new hero to go along with it, etc. That would surely take some time.
