Hot Air Balloon
Category Mount
Effect +25% move speed (upgradeable)
Cost / Recipe No longer sold Gold
How to get Marketplace (no longer sold in The Alchemist weekly shop)

Hot Air Balloon is a mount in Kintara. It gives a +25% move speed bonus. It was sold in The Alchemist's weekly mount slot for 50 Gold from 26 September to 3 October 2026 and isn't sold in any shop, so it can only be bought from other players on the Marketplace. The rider stands in a wicker basket under the balloon. Since 27 October 2026 the balloon is drawn 1.5× bigger, and your name tag sits above the balloon instead of inside it.

Note: Despite its looks, the Hot Air Balloon is not a flying mount — it floats at the same low hover as the Flying Carpet and otherwise rides like a ground mount.
