Mounts

A mount carries you faster and lets you jump higher, and you can fight while riding. Every skill works from the saddle. Open Mounts from the menu to see your stable.

Riding

1. Open the Mounts window, pick a mount and press SET ACTIVE.
2. Tap the RIDE button (the small circle above JUMP), or press R on a keyboard.
3. Tap it again to DISMOUNT.

Good to know:

• You cannot mount in mid-air or while on a rope. Mounting and dismounting takes a moment.
• Grabbing a rope, ladder or vine hides your mount while you climb. When you let go, it comes back.
• A single hit for a quarter of your max HP or more knocks you off.
• Riding keeps going when you change maps, but you always enter the world on foot.
• Auto ride is on by default. When you walk a long way on a quest or move around in AUTO-HUNT, you mount up by yourself. Switch it off in the AUTO settings if you prefer.

Find out how to get any mount

Tap any mount in the Mounts window, even a dark shape you do not own yet. HOW TO GET lists every way: the quest with its giver, town and level, a lumens shop, a party quest board with its token price, the creature that drops it and where it lives, a seasonal event shop, or the Cash Shop with its Starshard price. Tap a way to act on it. You walk to the quest giver or shopkeeper, see the creature's home on the World Map, open the event while it runs, or open the shop on that offer. The collection tiles name the way in one word: Quest, Shop, PQ, Drop, Event or Cash.

With no mount yet, the window opens on the Dawnwolf marked YOUR FIRST MOUNT.

Compare mounts

Press COMPARE to line up every mount with SPEED, JUMP, GLIDE, what owning it adds and how to get it. Arrows show if a mount is better or worse than the one you ride. Sort by SPEED, JUMP or OWNED. Tap a row to see that mount.

Speed, jump and glide

Each mount adds a percentage to your walking speed and jump height while riding. The Mounts window shows them as chips next to a big preview of the mount.

Some mounts can glide: hold JUMP in the air to float along. Gliding mounts are great for crossing gaps and drifting down slowly from high ledges.

Riding raises your speed and jump above the usual limits, so it is worth it even if you have capped your own speed.

The mounts

Mounts come as a Mount Whistle. Use the whistle and the mount joins your stable. Quest mounts follow the quest. Board mounts are bought at the party quest boards with tokens from their quest (see Party Quests). Boss mounts are rare drops and can take a few tries.

The stable bonus

Collecting mounts pays you back, even when you are not riding them:

• Some mounts add a small bonus just for owning them. Pearl Lion and Lumen Cloud add health. Cinder Drakeling adds attack and magic attack. Star Whale adds a bit to every stat.
• Own five mounts and you earn a one-time boost to speed, shown as STABLE BONUS in the Mounts window.
• Mounts also count for the achievements Hit the Road, Saddle Up, Stable Master and The Full Stable. See Achievements and Titles.

Mounts you do not own show as dark shapes with a note about how to find them. Tap a way to get it to be taken to the right place.

Cash Shop looks

The Cash Shop sells extra mount looks: griffins, a hoverbike, a flying carpet, a broom and more. A look has the same speed, jump and glide as the play mount it copies. It is never stronger than the one you can earn. Each look says which mount it copies. The Frostfeather Griffon matches the Skyspire Griffon, and the Pocket Galaxy Whale is a look of the Tidefin Ray, so it glides too.
