Editing Mounts

{{Items}}
'''Mounts''' are creatures and items characters can ride.  Most mounts grant an increase in [[Movement rate|movement speed]].  They may also grant a buff of various kinds, [[Armor Class]], Mana, Hit Points, etc.

With the release of ''[[The Darkened Sea]]'' expansion, mounts may be kept on a [[Mount Key Ring]].

From the [http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-july-16-2014.212189/ Game Update Notes: July 16, 2014]:
<blockquote>Mounts that previously offered stat bonuses as part of the mount spell will now cast a separate buff spell so that you can ride whichever mount you like best without having to worry about buff stacking conflicts.</blockquote>

What this means is that mounts that offer stat bonuses will now cast a ''Mount Blessing _____'' buff on you when you summon them.  This buff lasts for a base time of six hours and will grant you the stat bonuses of the mount.  You can also dismount and keep the buff on you.

{{Cquote|The "permanent" duration type that mount buffs use is the longest duration that the spell system supports. It refreshes to the maximum duration when zoning, but it will eventually run out if you stay in a single zone long enough. We chose "permanent" to represent this state because "about 6 hours if you stay in one zone, but essentially infinite if you zone more often than that" doesn't really fit in the window. ||| [https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/the-ama-responses-are-here.296796/#post-4293158 Aristo, EQ Developer, March 13, 2024]}}
