What are mounts?

Silver Fang in Crimson Desert.

Mounts are rideable creatures or vehicles you can use in the game to travel more efficiently or even to engage in combat. The game has various mounts ranging from normal horses to dragons. You can even fly into the sky on the back of a fire-breathing dragon. Some mounts are permanent, and you can use them continuously, while others are temporary. Each mount has a different speed, combat prowess, and other advantages. If you want to try the mounts the game has, but don’t have the game, you can get it from LootBar.

Why are mounts important?

Mount helping by fighting enemies in Crimson Desert.

  • You can use some to fly 

  • Some are required for progression

Mount categories 

There are several mount categories, and each rideable steed falls within one. 

  • Special Mounts: These are legendary or unique mounts 

  • Horses: Most common mounts 

  • Temporary Mounts: These can only be ridden temporarily 

  • Vehicles: Mechanical mounts 

Mount upgrades

There are certain mount upgrades you can unlock that can increase the efficiency of your mount. The mount upgrades are mainly for horses.

  • Horse Skills: Horses have stats, including their trust, stamina, and level, that you can improve to make them more efficient 

  • Horse Armor/Gear/Saddle: Horse equipment can improve their performance, including increasing their speed and stamina recovery 

How to get mounts

Almost every mount requires a different method to acquire.

  • Steal from NPCs: Some NPCs own mounts that you can steal

  • Purchase from stables: This is an expensive method, but less risky than stealing mounts

Legendary mounts may attract you more, but the horses’ leveling system may make them more useful as you progress. Regardless of which mount you use, ensure that they complement your playstyle so you don’t clash with each other. Whether you want a fire-breathing dragon or a trusted horse that will appear whenever you call, Crimson Desert offers it all.
