'''Sorrel the Stablemaster''' is an NPC who trains player mounts to increase their speed. Wearing a straw hat and carrying a pitchfork, Sorrel operates a training pen in the main world where players can bring their mounts for incremental speed training sessions.

Every mount in Kintara starts at the same **25% base speed boost**. Sorrel trains them higher through paid sessions, up to a hard cap of **55%** — the highest speed any mount has ever achieved. Training is fair, transparent, and tied permanently to each individual mount.

== How mount training works ==
# Find Sorrel in the main world (look for the straw hat and pitchfork).
# Talk to him and select a mount to train.
# Drop the mount into his training pen (double-click the mount in your inventory to load it).
# Pay '''10 [[Gold]]''' per training session.
# Receive '''+5% speed''' to that mount.

== Training mechanics ==
* '''One mount at a time''' — Sorrel trains one mount per session. Once finished, you can bring another.
* '''Incremental progress''' — Each session adds exactly +5% speed. Going from 25% base to 55% cap takes 6 sessions = 60 Gold total.
* '''Per-mount training''' — Speed is trained onto that specific mount. Each mount you own can be trained independently to 55%.
* '''Permanent and server-enforced''' — Trained speed is stamped onto the mount and enforced server-side. It shows everywhere: inventory, bank, trades, wagers, and marketplace listings.
* '''Trades with you''' — If you trade, sell, or gift a trained mount, the trained speed travels with it. A 55% mount is a valuable, reliable asset.

== Speed system ==
All mounts now use a fair, equal-opportunity speed system:

* '''Base speed: 25%''' — Every mount starts here. Rich players, new players, everyone equal.
* '''Training: +5% per session''' — Sessions cost 10 Gold each and stack. No shortcuts, no wallet-based advantages.
* '''Hard cap: 55%''' — The maximum any mount can reach. This is the highest speed Kintara has ever offered.
* '''Transparent and tradeable''' — Trained mounts are real assets you can trade or sell. A well-trained mount is worth more because it's faster and stays faster.

== Why this system ==
The old speed-creep model made every new mount faster than the last, creating an unfair PvP landscape where wallet size mattered more than skill. This new system:

* Makes all mounts equal at the start
* Rewards player investment (10 Gold per session, patience)
* Removes pay-to-win mechanics
* Creates a fair, skill-based competitive environment
* Makes trained mounts valuable for trades and sales

== Tips ==
* All your existing mounts are now set to 25% base and are fully trainable to 55%.
* The [[Rocket Mount]] (originally 45%) is now 25% base like all others — train it if you want it to reach 55%.
* Training sticks to that exact mount — if you want two fast mounts, you'll need to train both separately.
* Trained mounts are valuable in marketplace sales and trades.
* Budget 60 Gold to fully train a mount from base (25%) to cap (55%).
