== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==
[[Riding]] is a skill that helps prospective humanoid equestrians command their horsesor animals use their special mount-forms. Although [[Riding]] is not a skill used for combat, it will override active combat bars when a mount the ability is being used.
=== In-Game Description ===
Skill in riding terrestrial mounts. Higher skill allows you to keep your mount calm even in terrifying situations. Earn XP by riding in many different and dangerous locations.
=== Training {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} ===
* [[Mythander]] in [[Eltibule]] teaches Riding to humanoids for a small feeor in exchange for doing a quest, and also sells a mount. He also unlocks levels 51-60and teaches some high-level riding abilities (Gallop and Gentle Horse). The horse-based riding skill is available to all humanoids, as well as Giant Bats and Rabbits. Other [[Beast Form]]s have alternative mount-forms.
* [[PashaSilvia]] in [[IlmariSun Vale]] unlocks levels 61teaches mount-70form to [[Deer]] players who are at least level 25, as well as a unique speed-up that reduces mount anxiety and increases jump ability.
* [[Raul]] in [[Animal Town]] teaches mount-form to [[Cow]] players who are at least level 25, as well as a speed-up that consumes grass. * [[Norbert]] in [[Animal Town]] teaches mount-form to [[Pig]] players who are at least level 25, as well as a speed-up that increases both land and water speed temporarily. * [[Legs]] in [[Animal Town]] teaches mount-form to [[Spider]] players who are at least level 25, as well as a Move Those Legs speed boost. * [[Mittens]] in [[Kur]] teaches mount-form to [[Spirit Fox]] players who are at least level 25 and have '''{{favor|Friends}}''' favor. * [[Sanja]] in [[Kur]] teaches the wolf mount-form to Lycan players who are at least level 30 in [[Lycanthropy]]. Hunting Speed (1 through 3) are now Wolf mount abilities (they used to be sidebar abilities), and are activated in the usual way at the [[Altar of Norala]] each month at Full Moon. * [[Pasha]] in [[Ilmari]] unlocks Riding levels 61-70. * [[Backfat]] in the [[Fae Realm]] unlocks Riding levels 71-80. '''Note''': At present, all beast form mounts use and benefit from the same riding tack as is used for horses (shoes, reins, saddles, and saddlebags), and the mount equipment UI shows a horse even for the mount forms where one is not actually used. '''Note''': If you have purchased and activated a pledge package that includes a mount and riding skill, you can redeem that for a single character on your account. You will receive one free horse, free riding skill at level 40, and a special level 40 50-slot "Easy Deluxe" saddlebag. Horse breeding pairs will be released at a future date. Current horses are considered to be an initial prototype version (Gen 1) for game testing purposes.

=== Learning Riding ===
When Riding is first learned from [[Mythander]]obtained, the abilities ability '''Lope''' and '''Calm Horse''' are is automatically learned. A horse icon will also appears on appear in the right-side menu, between the social window and settings. This icon grants access to the '''Mount Window.''' Hot-keys can also be assigned to mount, unmount, and open saddlebag storage. ====Acquiring Riding Experience===={{Quote|source=[[Mythander]]|;How do I get better at Riding?By riding of course! And I have a technique for getting better fast: you should ride in lots of different places, and always ride near dangerous monster.; I should ride TOWARD dangerous monsters?Just ride near enemies -- don't get so close that you get injured! Just get close enough for the horse to experience anxiety. Then you can practice overcoming that anxiety.; So I should just ride around monsters? Like, in a loop?No, no!

Keep fleeing!; That sounds insane, but you're the riding expert.}} Experience in the [[Riding]] skill is earned by riding near enemies then successfully escaping from them without being forcibly removed from a mount. Increasing [[Riding]] level improves health and armor while in mount-form.* The map of each zone where [[Riding]] is possible is divided into an invisible grid of squares. This grid is not visible in-game.* When experience points are first earned in a square of the grid, that square is added to an internal list of completed squares. * The [[Riding]] system only keeps track of a certain number of grid squares. Once it reaches its limit, the earliest entry on the list is dropped and experience can be earned there again. * At [[Riding]] Level 30, player-crafted reins can be equipped with an enchantment that indicates whether a grid square has been completed or not. If the square has already rewarded experience, a small check appears.* Some adventurers will ride directly past an enemy in an attempt to earn experience, while others prefer to pass in a wide arc. Both methods can be used successfully, but ultimately all that is important is that a mount gains some anxiety from the encounter. ==== Riding Maps ====Click expand for each zone to see a player-created map of areas [[Riding]] XP can be earned in. {{Spoiler|Serbule Riding Map|[[File:SerbuleRideMap.jpg|450px]]}}{{Spoiler|Serbule Hills Riding Map|[[File:SerbuleHillsRideMap.jpg|450px]]}}{{Spoiler|Eltibule Riding Map|[[File:EltibuleRideMap.jpg|450px]]}}{{Spoiler|Sun Vale Riding Map|[[File:SunValeRideMap.jpg|450px]]}}{{Spoiler|Kur Mountains Riding Map|[[File:KurMountainsRideMap.jpg|450px]]}}{{Spoiler|Ilmari Riding Map|[[File:IlmariRideMap.jpg|450px]]}}{{Spoiler|Rahu Riding Map|[[File:RahuRideMap.jpg|450px]]}}{{Spoiler|Gazluk Riding Map|[[File:GazlukRideMap.jpg|450px]]}}{{Spoiler|Fae Realm Riding Map|[[File:FaeRealmRideMap.jpg|450px]]}}{{Spoiler|Povus Riding Map|[[File:PovusRideMap.jpg|450px]]}}
=== Mount Window ===
The '''Mount Window''' provides statistics for an active horseor for a beast-form players mount form, a button to mount or dismount, and slots to equip horse tack. (Beast forms at present use standard horse tack to improve their Riding stats.) It should be noted that mount equipment is tied to equipment loadouts, therefore you will need to equip your mount (or mount form) with your desired tack and save it for each loadout.
==== Horse Stats ====
Three categories of horse stats are available through the '''Mount Window.''' Additional information about a horse can be seen when it is in a stable.
* Intelligence
* Fertility
