Riding

This article concerns the actual riding skill. For more details on its use, see Mounts and Travelling.

Riding

• Characteristic
You are able to ride mounts.

Notes

• This skill is required to ride any permanent mount, increasing the player's movement speed to greater than 60%.

By acquiring this trait you can purchase any of the permanent mounts skills also available in the LOTRO Store. Skill is auto-applied upon acquisition.

• Note: You need to have this Basic Riding Trait (Skill) (Riding Skill) before being able to do races at festivals (the quest ring won't even show otherwise).

• Free or Premium players must first purchase this Basic Riding Trait (Skill) from the LOTRO Store, but can do so at any level after completing the Introduction (Level 5).

• VIP players can acquire the riding skill at level 20 without expending any Turbine Points by completing the quest, Proving Your Quality, from Éogar, son of Hadorgar, Horse-master, at the Hengstacer Farm in northern Bree-fields ^{[22.3S, 52.3W]} (the small black horse near the top of the large Map of Bree-Land); or from the store after completing the Introduction by expending LOTRO Points (TP).
