Check out our Guide to Mounts
Every mount has passive stats that can help you to determine whether its suitable for your next adventure. These include mount health, armor, magical resistance, and crowd control resistance, which tell you how much damage that mount can take before it throws its rider off. Move and gallop speed, meanwhile, indicate how fast you can travel across the world: move speed refers to the basic speed of your mount, while galloping is achieved by continuously riding without taking damage. Another important stat is max load, which shows how much extra weight a mount lets you carry. Here we have to distinguish between max load, which counts as active carry weight, and the Courier passive spell, which counts as passive carry weight. Active carry weight lets you carry more weight while riding or while youre directly next to your mount. Being forcefully dismounted or leaving the mount radius will remove this bonus, and may leave you over-encumbered. Passive carry weight, meanwhile, increases your max load as long as you have a mount equipped, even if youre on foot or in combat.
A number of mounts also have active abilities that can be triggered while riding. Some offer abilities on the shoe slot (default: F) that let you travel faster in various ways, while others have weapon slot abilities (default: Q,W,E). Using an active mount ability will put that slot on cooldown, so if you use the shoe slot ability on your mount and then dismount, you must wait for the cooldown to end before you can use your actual shoe slot again. Every mount has the ability Journey Back (default: R). This allows you to return to your last safe zone location after a channel. This ability has a Silver cost, which is determined by the distance to the nearest safe zone and the items youre carrying.
When dismounted by an enemy player or creature, you become immune to crowd control for a short time, while having full access to your cooldowns. You cannot remount within 30 seconds. When dismounting voluntarily, your weapon slots are available as long as no enemy players are nearby, while your armor slots are on a 5 second cooldown. You will also notice a circle around your mount, within which you can move freely and click/tap on the mount to quickly mount up again. Getting into combat with another player will immediately remove the mount.
Every mount can be traded at the Marketplace. If you decide to raise or earn a mount yourself, you will find additional information below.
When playing the tutorial, youll meet your very first mount - the Novices Mule. While it isnt the fastest, it already has the Courier passive, granting some additional carry weight. Horses and Oxen can be raised on pastures on personal islands or guild territories. Once grown, they can be saddled to become a Riding Horse an agile mount with passive carryweight an Armored Horse a sturdy mount with additional armor for added protection or a Transport Ox, which allows you to carry large quantities of goods.
Adventurers Challenge Mounts offer either fast movement, escape abilities, or high transport capacity. Each month brings a fresh challenge in which players can accumulate Challenge Points to unlock daily, weekly, and monthly rewards. After completing the monthly challenge, players with active Premium status can claim that months mount and immediately begin to use it. Adventurers Challenges work on an annual rotation, with each months mount as follows:
Some baby animals can be acquired by killing open world hide animals. These can then be raised on a pasture or in a kennel. The chances of one of these baby animals dropping decreases with the tier of the mob. You have a chance of finding each type of baby animal in the following biomes:
Each major city in Albion hosts a faction that players can fight for to earn Faction Points. These points can be used to acquire baby animals. Each city has a standard and an elite version of their mount to choose from. In addition to the six Royal Cities, Brecilien also offers two baby animals that can be purchased with Favor. Each citys mounts are:
Battle mounts are used in large-scale battles to enhance the survivability and offensive strength of a zerg. They can offer buffs to big groups of players and shape the battlefield with their disruptive skills. These mounts are usually tough to take down. Most battle mounts are given out at the end of a Guild Season through Conquerors Chests. Attaining a higher guild rank and a better chest increases the chances of getting battle mounts. Players engaging in high-level 20v20 Crystal League matches also have a chance to receive these. Some battle mounts can only be obtained through the Energy Manipulator. They require a base mount, some materials, and a large amount of Siphoned Energy.
There are also a few rare mounts that dont fall into any of the above categories, like the Morgana Nightmare, the Rageclaw, and the Spectral Bonehorse. Each of these can be crafted from artifacts dropped by World Bosses found in special raid zones in the open world. The Rites of Spring event allows players to earn the Spring Cottontail and Caerleon Cottontail mounts. Some older referral seasons rewarded unique mounts. And, last but not least, the Avalonian Basilisk can be acquired with a Saddled Swamp Dragon and 5000 Avalonian Energy at the Saddler.
You are what you wear. So make yourself a dashing adventurer or a gruesome warrior while youre riding through Albion! There are a multitude of skins available to give your favorite mount a makeover - simply go to the Appearance UI in the player menu to check out which skins are available.
Many skins can be purchased from the Albion Online Web Shop or ingame store, while some can be purchased for Gold or earned by referring a friend. Referral mount skins can be traded at the Marketplace. Ready to ride? With this knowledge you'll be well-equipped to traverse Albion's treacherous roads with the right mount for any occasion. Giddy up!
