How to get and use a mount

The Mount Stable is in Midgard City, in the Quick Access. The Mount Breeder runs the Mount Shop.

Buy your first mount at the Mount Shop for 50 000 Zeny.
Ride: your base walking speed goes up by 25%.
Use the travel Skills you receive with the mount (they cost mount SP).
Heal your mount when it gets tired (see below).

Mount HP and SP

Your mount has its own HP and SP. They depend on your Base Level.

“I know 0 tricks. Bring me Special Hay!”

Your mount: Cerberus · Basic Mount Reins

HP

Resistance 1425 / 1425

Used only when monsters attack you. Take too much damage and you fall from your mount. The damage depends on the level of the monster.

Maximum: 25 x (Base Level + 1), +50% of it, and another 50% with Sturdy: 1425 at Base Level 37. While you ride, a hit costs you only 1 HP: the rest goes to your mount (damage calculation).

SP

Stamina 77 / 77

Used each time you use a travel Skill.

Maximum: Base Level + 1, +50% of it, and another 50% with Vigorous, then +20: 77 at Base Level 37.

Healing

Let your mount drink from the well at the Mount Stable, or feed it Hay, sold at the Mount Shop for a couple of Zeny. Cast: 4 seconds with Hay, 1 second with Premium Hay.

The Feed button of the Stable gives your mount a Premium Hay if you have one, else a Hay. Both refill Resistance and Stamina.
