Duration: Permanent once practiced


Generally you buy your mounts in Livery stables. The ones that you buy are 

automatically charmed and will start following you, as soon as they land in 

the room. There are also some wild animals that you can mount, like wild 

horses. These will have to be TAMED first. Only charmed mounts can be 

ordered though.

MOUNTS are most useful when you are low level and have limited move points. 

While you are mounted, you'll only take 30% of the move points. You can also 

order your mount to sleep, in which case it will regenerate move points a lot 

faster than yourself. Once you are mounted you can move as usual, by just 

typing the direction. (You don't have to type 'ride east'). 

There are saddles and bridles for sale, which often increase the move points 

of the mount. You give them to the mount and then order it to wear them. 

If you come across a HURDLE, while mounted, you'll have to ORDER your mount to 

jump it. 

Some combat skills like TRAMPLE and JOUST can only be used if you are mounted. 


Some mounts can also suddenly turn against you if your alignment gets the 

wrong way. Mounts stop following you once you quit so don't forget to ask 

equipment back before you log out.


CENTAURS are the only PC race that can be mounted, but only on consent. (Use 

the command NOMOUNT to toggle the consent on or off.) 

The centaurs can also use the trample and joust skills directly, mainly 

because they aren't able to ride themselves. With the command buck centaurs 

can try to toss players from their back.
