Learning to Ride in Mortal Online
This is just a sneak peek of Killer Guides Mortal Online Guide, a high-end, in-depth and well structured unofficial Mortal Online guide.
Walking everywhere can get a bit old after a while, even for the most intrepid adventurer. Luckily, you don’t have to make your way across the world on foot forever. By using the Creature Control skill you can tame one of the wild horses found in some areas. If taming pets has never been your thing, don’t worry! You aren’t stuck on your feet. Anyone who has successfully tamed a horse can transfer ownership to you, though they may set a high price.
Once you have a mount in your possession, you care for it much like you would any other pet. You must feed it to keep up its loyalty. Turning your loyal pet into a useful steed is rather simple on the surface. Stand next to your mount and type “Use” to mount your new ride. As with any new skill, riding takes practice to master. As you ride you gain Riding skill. This is important because it determines how well you can handle your horse. Just as you would in real life, begin by riding slowly and work your way up to galloping and jumping as you gain more skill. The higher your skill, the less likely you are to fall right out of the saddle when you go too fast, run into something, or attempt to make a jump.
Riding isn’t a quickly mastered skill, but using a mount is well worth the time it takes to learn to ride well. Not only will you be able to cross distances much more quickly, but you can eventually learn to fight from horseback as well. Though it may be frustrating to master at times, just like the old adage says, when you fall off the horse you have to get right back on!
If you choose to be one of Khurites, maybe you need to practice a lot with your horse!
