| How to get | Sorrel the Stablemaster (mount gilding ritual) |
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
| 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.
