===Acquiring Riding Experience===The basic instructions for gaining XP in Riding are to ride near monsters and enemies, and That's how you will gain Riding experience, which will increase both your health and armor while get better at riding. Initially, this encourages a practice of quartering a zone map so that you try to cover as much of it as possible and : keep riding near monsters and enemies. However, at level 30 in ridingexploring! Keep fleeing!; That sounds insane, but you can equip player-crafted reins which include an XP checkmark to indicate whether you have gained 're the riding XP in a particular area. Once you have done so, you should move on to a place where the checkmark disappears and then find another monster or enemy to ride near to gain XP again (and light up that checkmark)expert.}}
There are some poorly understood mechanics about timers 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 firstarmor 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-out lists 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 how and when areas become available once more to gain riding XPexperience can be earned there again. * At [[Riding]] Level 30, but they do happen over player-crafted reins can be equipped with an extended period of time (enchantment that indicates whether a month grid square has been completed or so?)not. In any caseIf the square has already rewarded experience, even a fairly low-level character small check appears.* Some adventurers will ride directly past an enemy in an attempt to earn experience, while others prefer to pass in terms of combat abilities a wide arc. Both methods can actually advance riding skills quite farbe used successfully, provided you avoid being dismounted in highly dangerous locationsbut ultimately all that is important is that a mount gains some anxiety from the encounter.

;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! You can't get better if you just stay in the same area. You have to ride near different monsters in many different places! Explore all types of terrain, and dodge monsters everywhere you go.
That's how you get better at riding: keep exploring! Keep fleeing!

=== Mount Window ===
The '''Mount Window''' provides statistics for an active horse or 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.
