Wiki Q&A

Mounts are creatures that players can tame, purchase, or earn in the Overworld, but they cannot be used inside Dungeons or other Mount-Restricted areas [1]. Riding a mount reduces its effective Control Slots to 0, so a mounted player can still command up to 5 control slots of other tamed creatures; if you dismount and exceed the limit, you cannot command tamed creatures until you remount or release followers down to 5 or fewer slots [1].

Riding vs. control:

• You can ride horse, llama, and ostard (including frenzied) mounts regardless of your Animal Taming skill [2].
• However, you can only have at most one mount that exceeds your Animal Taming or Animal Lore skill at a time, and you will get notifications if you try to trade or acquire a second such mount [2].
• If your Animal Taming or Animal Lore is below the mount's requirement, you cannot issue Attack, Guard, or Patrol commands, the mount will not cast spells or use abilities/traits, it will never deal more than 1 damage in combat, it gets no normal Aggro bonus toward enemies, and you cannot earn Creature Experience or gain Passive Animal Taming with it [2].
• Horses and Llamas both require 50 Minimum Taming Skill and are capable of gaining experience [2].

Mount-Restricted areas (e.g., Dungeons or Mountless Faction Struggle zones):

• Entering such an area while riding automatically stashes away the mount and dismounts you; exiting while alive automatically re-mounts it [1].
• If you die in a Mount-Restricted area, you will remount your stashed mount the next time you are alive in a mount-allowed area—simply walk 1 step to remount [1].

Mount Tokens:

• Blessed Mount Tokens summon a unique mount that has no combat ability; double-click the token in your backpack to summon and immediately ride it, following normal mount restrictions [3].
• You may activate a Mount Token only once per 30 seconds, and you can dismiss the summoned mount by double-clicking yourself or the token in your backpack [3].
• Entering a Mount-Restricted area while riding a summoned mount automatically dismisses it [3].
