Some guilds can use a mount to improve their combat prowess and to make overland travel faster and safer.

• Squires, Cavaliers, Knights and Beastmasters must tame a mount or purchase a mount that someone else has tamed.
• Tzarakk - can summon a steed of tzarakk or a chaos mount that gains power and size as it is fed souls.
• The School of Folklorists - can summon a magical mount via the magic mount and greater magic mount spells.

Mount Types

• Griffons - can fly
• Solar Griffons
• Chimeras - balk at water
• Chaos Drakes
• Fire Drakes
• Shadow Drakes

Mounts also can be different ages, e.g. Adult, Ancient.

Skill Bonuses

Mounts grant a size bonus and a bonus to Attack, Dodge, Parry and Throw weight. The amount of bonus depends on the type of mount and the percentage of your Combat riding skill. Additionally, Tzarakk mounts may give a bonus to Polearms (skill) skill as well.

Riding Underground

Beastmasters get the ride underground skill that allows them to, unsurprisingly, ride underground. Actually ride underground allows larger mounts that can't normally ride underground to go there. Smaller griffons and chimeras can go underground.

Taming Mounts

Only Beastmasters get an appreciable amount of the Tame mount skill.
