MOUNTS
Mounts are conveyance animals such as horses. A much hoped for and highly anticipated addition to the game, they were introduced in 2019 at Rumor Woods.
For base information about mounts visit: Mounts
Mounts have the ability to travel in a straight line. You can type w w w w and the mount will go in that direction. If you know your directions in advance, this is handy.
MOUNT CALLING DEVICE
Mounts are summoned by holding either their reins (equine) or leads (tortoise).
To summon your mount WAVE your device. The types are below.
Reins
You analyze your golden leather reins and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way. The creator has also provided the following information: This is a summoning item and will currently summon: a lithe golden charger, which is a mountable creature that has the following characteristics: Height: just over 17 hands Face: white-starred Ears: pointed Forelock: sleek Body: lithe (NOTE: this sets/changes mount article) Coat: flawless (Optional) CoatClr: golden (NOTE: this sets/changes mount adjective) Mane: blunt-cut ManeQrk: decorated with onyx bands (Optional) TailQrk: voluminous TailClr: dark brown Unique: None set This summoning item cannot be altered in any way. USAGE: HOLD (refresh HOME timer - must be in same room), PULL, WAVE (summon mount) Mounts cannot be: - summoned while inside. - ridden inside or in water. - used while in combat. You will be knocked off your mount if you are attacked and may be unable to mount the creature for a short time after combat has ended. Mounts will: - return to their "home" (either permanent or otherwise) if they are summoned and not mounted within 10 minutes. (HOLD reins to refresh.) - return to their "home" (either permanent or otherwise) if they are slapped by the owner/summoner. - remain in their permanent "home" (if you have purchased a stall) indefinitely. - return to your side if summoned in an appropriate location, regardless of where you left them. This mount has a permanent stable in Wehnimer's Landing. You get no sense of whether or not the reins may be further lightened.
Leads
You analyze your yellow hemp leads and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way. The creator has also provided the following information: This is a summoning item and will currently summon: a smooth yellow tortoise, which is a mountable creature that has the following characteristics: Height: about 2 feet Face: small Ears (beak): flat Body (skin): smooth (NOTE: this sets/changes mount article) CoatClr (neck): yellow (NOTE: this sets/changes mount adjective) ManeQrk (scute detail): outlined in beige (Optional) TailQrk (tail): thin Unique: None set Texture (shell): domed Material (scutes): round This summoning item cannot be altered in any way. USAGE: HOLD (refresh HOME timer - must be in same room), PULL, WAVE (summon mount) Mounts cannot be: - summoned while inside. - ridden inside or in water. - used while in combat. You will be knocked off your mount if you are attacked and may be unable to mount the creature for a short time after combat has ended. Mounts will: - return to their "home" (either permanent or otherwise) if they are summoned and not mounted within 10 minutes. (HOLD reins to refresh.) - return to their "home" (either permanent or otherwise) if they are slapped by the owner/summoner. - remain in their permanent "home" (if you have purchased a stall) indefinitely. - return to your side if summoned in an appropriate location, regardless of where you left them. a smooth yellow tortoise. You get no sense of whether or not the leads may be further lightened.
MOUNT CUSTOMIZATIONS
Once you purchase a mount, you can have its features customized to your taste. The common mounts will have less options than uncommon mounts, with rare mounts having access to the most.
You can only customize your mounts features with raikhen and by paying the ostler at Rumor Woods. When visiting the ostler, please have your summoning device in hand.
Recently, the bane on altering mount items (leads, reins, and other mount-related gear) was lifted. However, some items still have restrictions. Please make sure to ANALYZE each item to determine if it qualifies for altering.
MOUNT HOMES
You can dismiss your mount to send him/her away, just as you can wave your reins to summon him/her.
You can also purchase a stall from stablehands in most towns' stables.
Most towns have a stables in them and those that do have a trusty stablehands.
This stablehand can do the following services for you:
1. Assist you in purchasing a stall for your mount.
2. Discuss switching which mount is in your stall.
3. Assist you in purchasing Mount Travel options.
STALLS
You can also purchase a stall from stablehands in most towns' stables.
In order to purchase a stall, you'll need to have your mount summoning device in hand.
If you do, this is the place that you can visit your mount when you are not riding it.
In 2020, the following free upgrades were made to stalls.
1) All stalls will now allow groups to enter. Mounted group members will be dismounted, as there's only enough room for one mount to exist in each stall. (Characters can no longer login to the stall rooms.) 2) All stalls will now allow magic and familiars. 3) Fast travel will now work from all stables, including stalls (assuming the ability functions in that area AND you have purchased this upgrade from the stablehand). 4) Stall decor limits have been removed. 5) You can now teleport out of your stall. Additionally, the following upgrades were announced: 1) STALL SWAP a) Mount Association -- Change the mount that lives in a stall. COST: 625 raikhen b) Stable Location -- Change the town of your stall (assuming one is currently available in that town).
