Create Mount Gilding update page (Sorrel ritual, 20/40/60% odds, gildable breeds)

New page

| summary = Sorrel the Stablemaster now offers Mount Gilding — sacrifice 1–3 identical mounts for a 20/40/60% chance at a solid-gold gilded variant. All slotted mounts are consumed, win or lose.
}}

'''Mount Gilding''' is live with [[Sorrel the Stablemaster]] on [[Mainland]]. Talk to Sorrel and ask him to gild a mount in gold to open the ritual pens.

Slot '''1, 2, or 3''' mounts of the '''same breed''' — that buys you '''20%, 40%, or 60%''' odds the fire returns a solid-gold version. Every mount that goes in is consumed either way. No refunds.

<div class="kin-note"><span class="kin-note-label">Warning:</span> Gilding is a true gamble. Success gives '''one''' [[Gilded Mount]] of that breed. Failure leaves ash. Trained mounts can be slotted too — Sorrel asks for a second confirm before burning them.</div>

== Highlights ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Update
! Details
|-
| [[Sorrel the Stablemaster]]
| New gilding dialogue and ritual UI on [[Mainland]].
|-
| Same breed only
| All pens must hold the same mount type (e.g. 3 Wolves — not mixed).
|-
| Odds scale with count
| 1 mount → 20% · 2 mounts → 40% · 3 mounts → 60%.
|-
| All mounts consumed
| Win or lose, every slotted mount is destroyed by the ritual.
|-
| [[Gilded Mount]] reward
| Success grants exactly one gold cosmetic variant of that breed.
|-
| Stats unchanged
| Gilded mounts keep the same speed / training rules as the base breed.
|}

== How it works ==

# Find [[Sorrel the Stablemaster]] on [[Mainland]] (straw hat and pitchfork).
# Choose '''"Can you gild my mount in gold?"''' then '''"Light the fire — let's gild."'''
# Drag or double-click mounts from inventory / mount bag into the three pens.
# Check the odds display, then press '''Gild Mount'''.
# On success you receive one gilded mount; on failure the slotted mounts are gone.
