Mounts have several different kind of feats that allow them to do something that wouldn't be possible without the mount knowing about that feat. Feats vary from mount to mount and mounts can be also trained at animal trainer so that it can be used in the right way for example in combat. One animal trainer is located in the town of Atherton. Also mounts can learn these feats by themselves while you are riding them but this may take time and it can be frustrating to train your mount for combat for example as it keeps getting frightened and flees from the combat taking you with it. Note that some mounts cannot learn some of the feats. For example non-flying mount cannot learn any flight related feats. Currently there are these feats: Air combat Feat air combat is needed to be able to control the mount in the right way while fighting in the air. Without this feat it would and will be plain suicide. NOTE: flight combat is not available... yet. Flight mount Your mount has to know this feat or else it cannot be commanded to take off to the skies and fly around. Hauling Your mount has to know the proper way of hauling this from place to another or else it will get hurt in the process or won't be able to pull your cart or carriage at all. Hunt With this feat player can use his mount while hunting which would be impossible otherwise. Jousting This feat is needed in order to use mount in the right way while trying jousting. If your mount doesn't know this feat you cannot use jousting while riding it. NOTE: jousting is not available... yet. Kneel Kneel feat helps smaller races to mount more easier on bigger creatures. This is really helpful for small races and they all should teach this feat to their mount. Normally you can't ride a mount if your size is lower than 2/3 of the mounts size but with this feat you can ride a mount if your size is 1/2 of the mount's size or bigger. Leadrope If your mount knows this feat, it can be lead on to some direction with 'lead' command. Almost all of the mounts know this when you get them as handling them without it would be very difficult. Magic Horses and most of the other mounts are generally afraid of magic because they are quite simple creatures after all. Being near a mage who casts a ball of fire out of nothing is very frightening even to normal people, yet it is much more to mounts. With this skill the mount is trained to tolerate magic users so that it won't flee in panic when a player casts a spell. Note that _any_ spell will cause fear in your mount while you are riding on it. Mount Every mount should know this feat in order for someone to ride it. If it doesn't you cannot ride but you definitely should go to an animal trainer and let him teach your mount this feat. All mounts bought from stables will know this and most of the animals bought from animal trainers will also. Race tolerance Some mounts might hate, fear or even want to eat certain races. These mounts have to be taught to tolerate riders from that particular race in order to them to ride on that mount. Saddle Mounts have to be taught to tolerate being saddled and someone riding them. Saddles make the riding more comfortable to the mount and to its rider but some saddles might be magical and give some other beneficial bonus for the mount. Steady ride Every archer in the valley of Icesus value mounts who know this feat. It makes riding on it much more steadier and thus removing negative effects from riding to shooting. Note that this doesn't remove actual effects to your skill percents as they are affected by your own riding skills. Warfare This feat must be taught to all mounts which are going to be used in a battle. Mounts who do not know this feat run around wildly in battle and have a habit of running away from the combat carrying you with them. This doesn't affect the actual fighting skill percents which are affected by your own riding skill percents.
