'''Mount Training''' is Kintara's fair, transparent system for increasing mount speed. Every mount starts at **25% base speed** and can be trained incrementally to a hard cap of **55%** through paid sessions with [[Sorrel the Stablemaster]].

Training is per-mount, permanent, server-enforced, and tied to the individual mount — your trained mount keeps its speed through trades, marketplace sales, and any other transaction.

== Core Mechanics ==

=== Base Speed System ===
Every mount in Kintara — regardless of rarity, cost, or source — begins at the same **25% move speed bonus**. This creates a level playing field where wallet size does not determine PvP dominance.

* **Dragon Mount:** 25% base (was previously variable)
* **Whale Mount:** 25% base (was previously variable)
* **Rocket Mount:** 25% base (was previously 45%)
* **Wolf Mount:** 25% base
* **Turtle Mount:** 25% base
* **All other mounts:** 25% base

=== Training Sessions ===
Visit [[Sorrel the Stablemaster]] on the [[Mainland]] with a mount you own:

# Open the training interface
# Select which mount to train
# Pay **10 [[Gold]]** per session
# Receive **+5% speed** to that specific mount

Each session is incremental. Going from 25% base to 55% cap requires exactly **6 sessions = 60 Gold total**.

=== Hard Cap ===
The maximum any mount can reach is **55% move speed bonus**. This is the highest speed Kintara has ever offered and creates a ceiling that prevents endless speed creep.

* Minimum: 25%
* Maximum: 55%
* Range: 30 percentage points
* Sessions to max: 6 (at +5% per session)

=== Per-Mount Training ===
Speed is tied to the individual mount, not the player:

* Each mount you own can be trained separately
* If you own 3 Dragon Mounts, each must be trained independently
* A trained mount keeps its speed if transferred, traded, or sold
* A 55% mount is a valuable, tradeable asset
* An untrained mount is always 25%

=== Server-Enforced & Permanent ===
Trained speed is stamped onto the mount server-side and is enforced everywhere:

* **Inventory:** Shows trained speed
* **Bank:** Persists during storage
* **Marketplace listings:** Displayed in trading UI
* **Wagers:** Confirmed before bet resolution
* **Guild displays:** Visible on mount rosters
* **Trades:** Transfers with the mount

Once trained, your mount's speed cannot be reduced. A 55% mount will always be 55%, even if traded to another player.

== Why This System ==

The previous system suffered from speed creep: every new mount had to be faster than the last to feel exciting, creating an unfair PvP landscape where richer players were automatically faster.

This new system:

* **Removes pay-to-win mechanics** — rich players can't buy speed, only grind Gold for sessions
* **Makes all mounts equal at start** — fairness on day one
* **Rewards player investment** — 60 Gold and patience earn a maxed mount
* **Creates tradeable assets** — trained mounts have real value
* **Eliminates power creep** — no future mount will be faster than 55%
* **Supports skill-based PvP** — speed is earned, not purchased

== Mount Training vs. Gilding ==

Two systems let you customize your mounts:

* **Training:** Incremental speed increases. 10 Gold per session. Guaranteed. Any mount can reach 55%.
* **Gilding:** High-stakes ritual to create rare cosmetic variants. No Gold cost but mounts burned (win or lose). See [[Gilded Mounts]] for full details.

Both are optional ways to invest in your mounts.

== Tips ==

* **Budget 60 Gold** to fully train a mount from base (25%) to cap (55%).
* **Trained mounts are valuable** — a 55% mount is worth more on the marketplace than an untrained one.
* **Train mounts you'll keep** — once trained, they stay trained through all transactions.
* **Speed matters in PvP** — a 55% mount gives you a real advantage in mounted combat.
* **No refunds** — once you pay 10 Gold for a session, you cannot reverse it. Plan carefully.
* **All mounts equal** — don't assume new mounts are faster. Check the base speed before buying.
* **Sorrel is permanent** — mount training will always be available at [[Sorrel the Stablemaster]].
