A '''Gilded Mount''' is a rare, cosmetic variant of a standard mount breed. Gilded mounts are created through a high-stakes ritual performed by [[Sorrel the Stablemaster]] — you sacrifice up to 3 identical mounts in hopes of creating a single, shiny gold-plated version.
 
Most mount breeds can be gilded — 25 in all, including Dragon, Whale, Rocket, Wolf and Turtle. Mounts with no gold variant — the [[Flying Carpet]], the Orca Mount and the Lamborghini Mount — are refused by the ritual.
 
== How to gild ==
Visit [[Sorrel the Stablemaster]] on the [[Mainland]] with 1–3 identical mounts of the same breed:
 
# Open the gilding ritual interface
# Slot 1, 2, or 3 mounts of the same breed
# Sorrel attempts the ritual
# **All slotted mounts are consumed** — you either get a Gilded Mount or the mounts turn to ash
 
== Success odds ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Mounts slotted
! Success chance
! Notes
|-
| 1 mount
| 20%
| Risky — 80% chance to lose your mount
|-
| 2 mounts
| 40%
| Better odds, but double the cost in mounts
|-
| 3 mounts
| 60%
| Highest odds, but sacrifice 3 mounts for one Gilded
|}
 
Even with 3 mounts, success is never guaranteed. This is a true gamble.
 
== Rules ==
* '''Identical breeds only''' — all slotted mounts must be the same breed. You cannot cross-breed (no Whale + Dragon + Wolf combinations).
* '''All mounts consumed''' — whether you win or lose, every mount you slot is burned in the ritual. No refunds, no partial returns.
* '''Fixed odds''' — the success chance depends only on how many mounts you slot (20/40/60%). Nothing else changes the roll, and gilded mounts cannot themselves be used as ritual inputs — only base mounts count.
* '''One Gilded per ritual''' — success produces exactly one Gilded Mount of that breed.
 
== Gilded Mount stats ==
A successful ritual grants a **fresh Gilded Mount at the base 25% speed** — any speed training bought on the sacrificed mounts is lost. Beyond the shiny gold appearance and rarity, a Gilded Mount performs like its base counterpart.
 
* Starts at the base 25% speed; training on the sacrificed mounts does not carry over
* Can still be trained by [[Sorrel the Stablemaster]] (normal speed training, up to 55%)
* Valuable for collectors and bragging rights
 
== Tips ==
* Gilding is a '''true gamble''' — only gild if you can afford to lose the mounts.
* Three mounts at 60% is the "safest" option, but you're risking 3 mounts for 1 Gilded. Do the math before committing.
* Unique breeds (Rocket, legendary mounts) are rarer to gild, but the ritual is the same.
* Gilded mounts are extremely valuable in trades — they're rare cosmetic variants that show off your luck.
* If your mounts are trained, remember the training is lost on a success — gild first, train after.
