Sorrel the Stablemaster
Role	Mount trainer
Location	Mainland (main world)
Services	Trains mounts to increase speed, one session at a time

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

1. Find Sorrel in the main world (look for the straw hat and pitchfork).
2. Talk to him and select a mount to train.
3. Drop the mount into his training pen (double-click the mount in your inventory to load it).
4. Pay 10 Gold per training session.
5. 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%).
