How to get Sorrel the Stablemaster (mount gilding ritual)

A Gilded Mount is a rare, cosmetic variant of any 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.

All mount breeds can be gilded: Dragon, Whale, Rocket, Wolf, Turtle, and more.

How to gild

Visit Sorrel the Stablemaster on the Mainland with 1–3 identical mounts of the same breed:

  1. Open the gilding ritual interface
  2. Slot 1, 2, or 3 mounts of the same breed
  3. Sorrel attempts the ritual
  4. **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.
  • Golden bloodline helps — mounts with golden qualities or higher inherent rarity are rumored to have better odds (unconfirmed), but even legendary mounts can fail.
  • One Gilded per ritual — success produces exactly one Gilded Mount of that breed.

Gilded Mount stats

Gilded Mounts have **identical stats and speed to their base counterparts** — the main difference is cosmetics (shiny gold appearance) and rarity.

  • Base speed and training potential remain the same
  • Can still be trained by Sorrel the Stablemaster (normal speed training)
  • 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.
