Battle Mounts

Battle Mounts

Battle mounts allow their owners to fight while mounted, without the need to dismount each time. Some mounts, like the Mammoth obtained from Guild vs. Guild (GvG) events, are battle-ready upon acquisition, but most require conversion. This conversion is handled by NPC Lyair Volchevoy in Hossinger, near the Master of Honor of the Lion Hearts at the League Square.

To convert a mount, you need a regular mount and the item:

This can be purchased in Eyre's Gallery or directly from Lyair Volchevoy for 1

• Note: When upgrading the Azure Snail mount, you need 5 pieces of sealed blood purchased from Lyair! Sacred Blood from Eyre's Gallery is not suitable for this upgrade!

Rider Contract

Once you have a mount, you'll need a "license" to enjoy all the benefits of your battle mount. Simply summoning it isn't enough; you must have an active rider contract in the appropriate equipment slot. There are three levels of rider contracts, but all are temporary. Obtaining a permanent license is impossible.
