I finally figure out how to make mounts go faster than normal walking speed.

you need to type /gallop in the chat text box. But still there arel glitches where /gallop will not increase the mount speed and where your character can not dismount.

The thing that really pissed me off is that I had to figure /gallop out on my own, because there was no instructions or any documentation on how to use a mount.

Yea the creature mounts will eventually make CH a well paying job. I have a Kaadu and a Dewback waiting for the release. Better get a good stock of the mountable creatures guys. when the mounts come available they will be a little scarce. Imagine dozens of CHs waiting for spawns at each nest. LOL. I heard a great idea the other day that was asked to a DEV. CHs should be able to have a Stable building. Somewhere to put your favorite creature w/o having to carry them in your datapad. Another idea I like is to be able to breed them. Get a male and a female creature and let them go to town. LOL. That will never happen since this is a PG13 game.

Did you use Full Scan. The same thing kept happening to me until I did a Fuul Scan. Obviously a file was missing when I downloaded the TC.

Hiyo, Dewback! Away!

From a list the devs said that there will be kaadus,bols,carrion spats,dewbacks,falumpaset,and brackeset

I am probally going to ride a kaadu

Hey, just a quick question that prolly belongs on the CH boards but I never look there so ignore my lazyness What are the mounts and what do you need in CH (or non would be cool) to use them?

anyone can use them right now altho there is a CH patch coming that will limit non-ch to level 10 or less critters this cuts out all but the kaadu and carrion spat for non-ch. BE can engineer down dewbacks falumpasets and brackasets so they fall below level 10. no one is sure yet what the CH patch is REALLY going to do to non-ch.

to train a mount for mounting purposes you need a halter and some grease... err no. you just need creature empathy4 from the CH skills and the mount has to be at least 60% grown. i did see a baby mount last nite but it may be the result of an exploit. when the next patch hits mount training will be moved to a different branch of CH. why?? who knows ask SOE. it doesnt make any sense to me.

mounts can do their tricks while you are mounted. kaadu do a flip while your sitting on it. it is quite silly looking. the /gallop is the mount equivelent of burst. while mounted you cannot use any skills other than normal firing of a weapon. so no healing while mounted it seems.

if you want to see the mounts check the SWG main page.

I played with mounts as well and gathered together a little bit of info on them;

You cannot use special attacks while mounted - They've always said that would be the case.

You cannot burstrun while mounted - Why would you be able to burst run when you are on a mount. Your feet aren't touching the ground. I haven't tried it yet, but I believe mounts have a /gallop command that works like /burstrun except lasts longer

You cannot have ANY other pets out at the same time as your mount - Unless you have a mod that allows multiple pets. As a CH with managment 3 I can have 2 pets. They had announced this change as well. I don't believe this is limited to mounts...should only be able to have 1 pet out of any kind.

I didn't realize there was a /gallop command until after I had posted. As for having pets out, I'm a CH with management 3 as well, and I can have 2 pets out at the same time, but when my mount is out I cannot have any other pets. In other words, I can pull out my 2 peko pekos, or 1 peko peko and my cockroach, or my kaadu. Always before I could have my kaadu and another pet out, but now that it's a mount when it is called, I cannot call any other pets.

Templar...good idea, I'll have to try it, but I think it would work. I don't think you even need to store your mount, as they seem to keep up withyou when you burst run. I'll try it and see how well it works.

Here's a way to cover a lot of ground in a hurry:

Mount up and gallop.

When your mount tires, hop off, store the beastie, then burst run. Rinse, repeat (if you have camps)?

Okay, I haven't tested this, but it sounds like it would work fine....Anyone want to give it a shot?

Hi i havent been on in a while will someone tell me about mounts a little! Do tailors make the saddles or do they just appear? Is it any faster on a mount? And what is the fastest mount? Can ur creature attack others while your mounted?

All mounts, excluding the Giant carrian Spat (as far as i know), can only be trained as mounts when 60% grown (current HAM / adult HAM *100)

Once at 60%, an option "Train as Mount" appears in the long list under the "train" radial option. The saddle magically appears, and the creature is mountable.

The majority of creatures have a lesser of the bunch that makes it a Non-CH mount (ie. Lesser Bol)

Supposedly the carrian Spat is the fastest, yet I'm just getting that frm what I've been told.

Hope that helped
