Mounts

Template:Infobox Rideable mounts have arrived in New Britannia! Now, players of Shroud of the Avatar will be able to zip across the lands of Novia, Hidden Vale, and Mistrendur atop 16 beautiful mounts, with many additional varieties coming in the near future! Of note, 6 of the Crown Shop mounts will also be obtainable by players who already own particular foal decoration pets! Also, 3 of the new mounts will be obtainable through exchange of the tamed versions of those horses. Additionally, to add a bit of spice and fun to riding, 4 new mounted skills have been added to the Tactics Skill Tree!

For details on movement while on mounts, see Understanding the Avatar's Movement Stats.

Following through with the mount stretch goals, players with the following foal decoration pets will soon be able to trade-in these pets at a quest NPC to receive domesticated versions of the foal PLUS the corresponding Crown Store horse mount! Also, players will receive domesticated versions of the foals from all future Crown Store purchases. Whether a domesticated foal version is received via the foal quest trade-in or through a future store purchase, the domesticated versions of these foals cannot be traded-in at the quest NPC.

Stretch goal foals can optionally be traded in for full grown mounts via the same NPC.

COMBAT: Combat is not supported while mounted. If a player is attacked while mounted, they will drop to the ground and combat can continue as usual.

USING ITEMS, SKILLS or EMOTES: These actions are not supported while mounted.

MOUNTS ARE TALL. You should not expect to be able to enter a building while mounted.

CLOAKS get in the way. Cloaks are automatically hidden when using a mount.
