↖ How to Unlock Your First Mount?

Your journey into the world of mounts in New World begins with a quest. Here's how you unlock your first mount:

• Start in Windsward town and follow a quest marked by a horseshoe icon on the map. This quest will lead you to a location where you can start your mount journey.
• After completing the initial quest, you will receive your first mount, which is a horse.

 

↖ Riding Skill and Mount XP

Your riding skill is crucial for improving your mount's performance. As you level up your riding skill, your mount's speed and capabilities will increase. Here's what you need to know about riding skill and earning XP:

• The primary source of riding skill XP is the riding quest line you start when you get your first mount. This quest line provides a significant amount of XP, making it the easiest way to level up your riding skill.
• Mount XP is displayed in the Riding skill UI, which shows levels from 0 to 200. You will unlock significant mount speed bonuses at levels 50, 100, 150, and 200.
• You can earn additional riding skill XP through time trials, which are part of the quest line, and by using mount vittles.

 

↖ Mount Vittles

Mount vittles are items that enhance your mount's capabilities. There are four types of mount vittles:

• Basic Mount Vittles: These are the first you'll unlock, and you'll receive some through the quest line.
• Mount Vittles Tier 2: You need to reach riding skill level 50 to use these.
• Hearty Mount Vittles Tier 3: You need to reach riding skill level 100 to use these.
• Luxury Mount Vittles Tier 4: You need to reach riding skill level 150 to use these.

 

These vittles provide various bonuses and effects, including increased mount speed, dash recharge rate, and dash capacity. Be cautious not to consume vittles before the quest line instructs you to do so, as there's a daily limit of three.

New World offers various mounts and mount styles to cater to different preferences and playstyles. Here's how you can access different mount variants:

↖ Mount Charms and Pendants

Mount charms and pendants offer additional bonuses to your mounts, making your journey more comfortable and efficient. Here are some of the available options:

• Mount Charms: Provide bonuses such as increased mount dash recharge rate, dash capacity, and off-road dash performance. You can swap these charms while riding your mount for situational advantages.
• Mount Pendants (Talismans): Offer various enhancements, including empowering your mount after being dismounted through combat, increasing mount summoning speed, and improving mount landing durability.

 

You can choose the charms and pendants that best suit your playstyle and adapt them as needed during your travels.

 

↖ Legendary Tier 4 Power

A highly sought-after item is the Legendary Tier 4 Power - the Powerful Reddera Mount Charm. This charm provides a substantial boost to the mount dash recharge rate. To equip it, you need to have a riding skill level of 40. You can obtain it by:

• Gathering from Elite chests and stockpiles in the Spire of Mopoho.
• Farming it from specific mobs such as Siren Fury, Siren Dog, and Siren Brute.

 

This charm is valuable, and it can significantly enhance your mount's performance, making it worth the effort to obtain it.
