You know because you get enough EXP to get to level three immediately with the personal story reward after the tutorial instead of just enough to get to level two. It's a tiny sample size obviously, but it could be like 20-30% of new players getting the hidden XP boost (and presumably the mount trial too).

In your Control Options menu, under Mounts, you will find Mount Ability 1 and Mount Ability 2. For the skyscale, these keybinds translate to Dash and Decrease altitude respectively. By default, your character can dash using the V , and decrease altitude using C .

All mounts are level 80. 1-80 is kind of a tutorial. Once you hit 80 you have to start the PoF story to get mounts. as you progress you'll unlock the other ones. Each has a different effect on movement such as being able to jump far/jump high/glide over water.
