Unlocking a mount in Diablo 4 is one of the first things that most players aim to achieve in the early stages of the game. Diablo 4’s map is massive and having a mount to ride on will help in exploring it faster. You are introduced to the stable master early in the game when your character arrives in the city of Kyovashad with Lorath. Do not get too excited because unfortunately, the option to purchase a horse is locked. You will have to do some questing and progress through the main story before you can get your hands on your own mount.
How to get a mount
Diablo 4 has a total of 6 Acts, each varying in length. To get a mount in Diablo 4, you will need to progress through each Act until you reach Act IV: A Gathering Storm. At the beginning of Act IV, you will receive the quest: Donan’s Favor. You must complete this quest to get your first mount.
Act IV: A Gathering Storm – Donan’s Favor
Once you complete the quest: A Master’s Touch, Donan will tell you to visit the Stable Master in Kyovashad. Oskar, the Stable Master, will give you one of the mounts free of charge. Once you complete the quest, you can purchase additional mounts from different Stable Masters throughout Sanctuary. Each mount you purchase can be used on all characters on your account. You can summon your mount in almost all locations except for dungeons and other limited areas.
Mount Customization and Gear
What would mounts be without some customization? Mounts in Diablo 4 have a number of customization options available that include mount type, armor, and trophies that can be attached to the saddle of your horse. There is also a marketplace where you can spend real money to purchase additional cosmetics.
Mount Skills
Your mount comes with basic mount and dismount skills that can be used almost anywhere along with class-specific skills that can be used while you have it summoned. Your mount can become scared when around too many enemies or takes too much damage. If this happens you will be knocked off and have to wait for a cooldown to end before you can summon it again.
With your new mount unlocked in Diablo 4, you can travel to quests and dungeons faster while leveling up those paragon levels.
