    Pets

    Adopt a loyal pet to follow you around.

    Fairies, dragons, and monkeys, oh my... What are they and how do I get one?
    Pets are accessible at all levels and by all classes. Each player is allowed only one active pet at any moment. Therefore, pet attributes cannot stack and there is no benefit in having more than one of the same kind. Pets are not usable in PvP matches, but If you fall in battle in the wilderness, your pet becomes inactive and can be reactivated through the inventory. Pets have unique attributes and can be seen below.

    Mounts

    Travel through the lands of Duria in style with a hearty mount by your side.

    [​IMG]

    How do I get a mount?
    Mounts can be purchased for coins or andermant at a Grizmek, the Tamer, in Kingshill, Jarlshofn, Ellonidos and Andrakasch. Be on the lookout for Gnob, the Event merchant, who sells horses for draken. Mounts may also be rewarded for participation in special events.

    What does the mount do?
    The mount will increase the player's travel speed in urban areas and out in the wilderness and dungeons. Speed buffs (like those given by the fairy), and travel speed from equipment, will stack.

    Can I attack while on a mount?
    No, you are unable to deal any damage or use any skills while on your mount. When you attack, you will be dismounted.

    What is the difference between mounts?
    Besides the cosmetic differences, all mounts are identical.

    Does the mount have any skills?
    No, as of now, mounts only help you travel through the lands faster.

    Can my mount die from mob damage?
    After you receive a threshold level of damage, you will be automatically dismounted, and the mount will rest in your inventory.

    Are mounts allowed in the arena?
    Mounts cannot be used in the arena in all matches, except for Capture the Flag (5v5). In Capture the Flag (5v5), you will be dismounted when you pick up the flag.

    What are epic mounts?
    Epic mounts move at a quicker speed than traditional steeds. For more information, visit the Epic Mounts post.

    What mounts are available in DSO?
    Consult this page regarding Mounts.

    Epic Mounts (& Wings)
    Explore the world of Drakensang Online with an Epic Mount, which you can earn through completing various PvP quests or by purchasing one through Grizmek, the tamer. Game mechanics of Epic mounts are similar to those of traditional steeds, but with greater movement speed (increases travel speed by 100%). Wings are also a type of Epic Mount.

    Battle Master Quest Series:
    Complete the PvP quest available through Battle Masters all across the land. Each battle master will provide you with a 5-part series of quests that require you to win battles in a certain type of arena. Upon completing these tasks, you will be rewarded with pieces of a costume (4 total parts) and, ultimately, the corresponding speedy mount. All players who can access the cities where the Battle Masters are, can participate in these quests.

    Epic Mount Options:
    Listed below, you will find the number of wins required to complete each quest The first 4 quests reward you with increasing pieces of a costume set and completing quest 5 will reward you with the corresponding epic mount.

    Ice Bear: Duel (1v1)

    [​IMG]

    Costume Duria: Team Death Match (3v3)

    [​IMG]

    Cerebus: Capture the Flag (5v5)

    Steam Mount: Storm the Fortress (6v6)

    [​IMG]

    Blood-Scaled Dragon Brood: Purchase from Grizmek([​IMG] 19900)

    [​IMG]
    Wings
    Wings have the same mechanic as epic mounts and allow the hero to travel faster. For balancing reasons, just like the standard mounts, the wings will also not allow you to fly over hurdles or obstacles. The wings can be purchased from NPC Grizmek (Tamer) as packages called Lucky Sphere of Bone Wings and Lucky Sphere of Feathered Wings in exchange for 799 Andermant. The packages contain regular mounts but with a bit of luck your character can win the jackpot of these packages, which are the wings plus a costume.

    Costumes & Decorative Effects

    Dress up in costume every day of the week.

    Do costumes/decorative effects give any bonuses to stats?
    Costumes/decorative effects change the physical appearance of your character and do not affect your playing abilities. They have unlimited durability and do not need to be dry-cleaned.

    Where do I obtain costumes/decorative effects?
    Costumes and decorative effects are often event-related rewards attained by reaching certain milestones within the event. Many costumes can also be purchased from event merchants, such as Gnob. Zahir, the cloak merchant in Kingshill also offers a small selection of costumes.

    A Sampling of Some Costumes:

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
    How are costumes and decorative effects different?
    Costumes will cover some or all of your hero's equipment. Decorative effects do not cover any equipment. Moreover, you can wear costumes and decorative effects at the same time!

    Where can I see what costumes/decorative effects are available in the game?
    See this page regarding Costumes.
