Update 44 is expected to include the introduction of mounts for player characters in DDO! Mounts can be accessed in the preview server by speaking to the Loot Guy in the center of the test dojo or from Quaal of Vesve at the stables in the Keep on the Borderlands. Either of those characters will give you items that can be used from your inventory and then summon a mount.

  • Mounts can be summoned in public areas or Adventure Areas. (They can not be summoned/used in Dungeons)
  • Mounts grant either +80% movement speed or +100% movement speed depending on the type.
  • Characters may not engage in combat while on a mount.
  • You can dismount by hitting the "block" key (defaults to left shift).
  • There is a chance, upon taking damage, to auto dismount.


In this preview there are 4 different visual variations of horse mounts with an 80% speed version and a 100% speed version of all 4.
