So this post is a bit of a blizzard of questions but hopefully it will help me and others on the topic of mounts.
Mount Selection
As I have seen so far in the kickstarter is that horses are a the only confirmed mount.
I'm wondering if there are plans to have other mounts such as dire wolves or a giant scorpions, just to name some off the top of my head.Mount Purchasing
I'm curious to know if mounts will need to be broken from a wild state or if you will simply purchase them from a trader, and also if player operated towns can breed, board and sell mounts.Mount Cosmetics
This one is a bit unlike the others because I strongly assume there will be a wide range of cosmetic skins for a mount. As we have already seen there is the knight, governor and aristocrat cosmetics for horses. I just wanted to ask if there were solid plans on this or if anyone had any ideas for some!Mount Traits
Lastly, I really enjoy the idea of mounts having trainable traits or even set traits depending on the specific mount, for example a horse has more stamina than a bear mount but has less constitution.Alright. I think that's it hope you enjoyed and if you have any ideas or opinions, let me know!

Wolves are confirmed; two forms are a Foundation reward. They might only be a skin for what was originally a horse.

Ah true I forgot about that and the wolves change appearance depending on your race. Are there any mounts you would like to see added in the future? @fibs

Bird things!! Chocobo-style

They have also confirmed mechanical mounts, in the survival and travel Q&A. Didn't exactly say yes to a mechanical spider mount, but I'm hoping, and I gather these mounts are human only mounts, as only humans can use human technology, which I imagine a mechanical mount would be!
-
My god yes, I'm totally in favor of chocobos haha@fibs
-
Very cool, and now you make me wonder if beastman will even get mounts because they can transform into a wild state which is probably a faster mode of transportation than just walking @greenfire
-
I'm pretty sure Beastmen will get mounts too! The Foundation wolf mount has three appearances, one for each race. It would be great to be a deer lady riding a deer.

@FibS Beastmen will get mounts too, obviously.
Mount Cosmetics

The cosmetic shop will sell mount skins.
Mount Traits

There will be some statistical differences between mounts.

Super helpful thanks! @specter

Ya that went right over my head @fibs
-
- foundation rewards!
- tame or purchase cosmetics
- not sure if cosmetics are apart of rewards or cash shop only.
- there are traveling mounts and caravan mounts, iirc.
-
Thanks for the information @jetah! Any mounts you want to see?

@agracore
a steampunk spider would be sweet though i'd have to steal it from a human, but no problems there
-
Sounds good haha @jetah

niceeeeee

Would be nice if there was a training mechanic in the game, where you can find eggs that you can hatch with some sort of ritual and get a non combat follower. And over time and training it grows into a mount. Or possibly a step in between that where it becomes a combat pet that will assist you in fights.
