In the past I had indicated that Guild Wars 2 is free to download and free to play (no monthly subscription fee.) This is true but when was start talking about mounts (what this article is about) this is not part of the free base game. This is part of the second expansion pack and users must pay a one time fee in order to unlock all this new content. When you consider that the expansion is something like $40 (one time) it isn't such a bad deal when you consider most MMO's charge $10 to $20 a month subscription.
Anyway, moving on the the Jackal
The Jackal is the 4th mount you will encounter while playing the Crystal Desert maps. The location you will find it in is pretty straight-foward, but it is the first mount that the story will not take you directly to it - you'll have to figure that out on your own.
The Jackal makes i possible for your characters to access the sand portals, which will teleport you to distant areas, some of which contain treasures that you can not access by any other means.
These portals can be a bit of a gamble, because unless you have already done it, there isn't much indication on the map as to where the other end of the portal might be. There could be a bunch of baddies on the other end. However, if that does happen and you are quick enough, simply turn around and portal back from whence you came.
Overall, you don't really see a lot of people running around on their jackals because unless you are portal jumping the Raptor is faster, and the 'Bunny" has much better ability to go over other terrain. The jackal does have the ability to teleport through enemies, but it is a little buggy in the sense that if you are teleporting you can get hung up on a rock or a shrubbery or something dumb like that.
I would say that most people use the Jackal to access the secret areas and then likely don't really ever use it that often in the future, which is a shame because it looks friggin awesome.

The jackel is one of my favourite mount. I usually cruise through maps with it. Its ability to do sand blink aids in avoiding attacks. It works best than most mounts in getting out of the way when there is a mob. I frequently use jackel when runnin, griffin when looking for masteries high up, Springer when to jump higher, and a raptor only for longer jump. However, when it comes to evasion, Jackel is my preferred choice.
why is there another person in here that has a response that is extremely similar to yours? I don't think it is your problem because we have had nice dialogue for a very long time.
The graphics on this game look pretty solid and yeah $40 one time subscription is not much considering that it's just one time payment. The jackal looks a lot cool and nice add to this game.
Gaming is my hobby it is very good the best graphic make more fun...it is a great game I will play,..

STOPthe jhakal is a good game I played it. I liked it very much
How do you know yourself alone?
Your last phone will not talk for a few days
It's evening and you remember the evening
Without thinking of a moment, I felt like feeling away, and how many years you have no news
To feel this feeling, the two-edged water fluttered with the cheek, how do you feel about your feelings, the rage of the post.
What condition did you give me, but now it is difficult for me.
I can not accept this sacrifice for you, then I said in the face of smile but you did not have to talk to him, but you told him to talk to other friends.
But what you might have missed more than me,
But the fate of what is being removed from us
I missed so much 3-4 hours that I missed so much 7-8 hours ago.
well, i can't say this makes a whole lotta sense, especially given the context / blog-entry that it is written on, but thank you.
Its potential to do sand blink aids in fending off assaults. it really works nice than maximum mounts in getting out of the way while there may be a mob. I often use jackel when runnin, griffin whilst looking for masteries excessive up, Springer when to jump better, and a raptor only for longer bounce. however, on the subject of evasion, Jackel is my desired desire.
good buddy. I don't even have a Griffin yet. I hope to do so by this week.
Yep Sounds Good @Buddy
