Mounts or speeders are important feature in every game, and that is the main reason why Carbine team has put a lot of effort to make this form of transportation fan and unique. WildStar will provide mounts (speeders) in a form of creatures and vehicles, which can be categorized as ground and flying mounts. Some WildStar mounts will be introduced early in the game, through quests or like a temporary mounts, but, when you reach higher levels, there will be permanent mounts with different abilities. Since the cost of the first mount is 10 gold, our suggestion is to start saving your money on time.
How to use your mount?
Players can buy the first riding skill and mount at level 15 for approximately 10 golds from mount vendor. Once you buy the mount, you’ll find it in your inventory first, where you should use it. This action adds the mount to your mount list. Now you can choose it from mount customization window.
With new game UI, “Z” button has been assigned to help players use their mounts easier. By default it is placed in your bottom left corner. It is activated by keyboard button “Z”. There is a small arrow on this same button. You can use it to bring up a popup menu with list of all mounts you have in your possession. Mark one of them, and you can activate it by pressing “Z” button. Advanced riding skill is available at level 40, costs around 35 gold, and increases mounted speed by 15%.
Exile and Dominion Mount Vendor Locations
We compiled a comprehensive list of vendors with location screenshots where you can buy mounts and customization items. This list is still work in progress, thus, if you know any vendor location not listed in this guide please share it with us and WildStar community.

Mount customization
Mounts bought from mount vendors can’t be customized, but, you can buy mounts and customization items from various vendors in the city – renown vendor, reputation vendor; along with modifications for hoverboards and other mounts. Mount price depends on reputation level you have achieved with your faction. The higher reputation level, the lower price will be.
Mount customization are items you can attach to your mount, and change its appearance. There are 4 spots on which you can attach customization items: Front, Rear, Left and Right Flair. After buying mount customization item you have to use it from your inventory and then tag it inside your mount customization window. Mounts customization window can be accessed from the Character Screen Window (by pressing key button “P”), under Mount tab.
Mount Tips
- Mounts have sprint ability that makes them even faster.
- Summoning mount takes around 1,5-2,0 seconds. If you move during this time, it gets canceled.
- The only areas with known mount restrictions are PvP Battlegrounds and Arenas,and PVE instances.

Thank you!
Is there any info on mount default speeds? I received 2 mounts from a special mmorpg.com promo and one is much faster than the other. I can’t find any info anywhere on what mounts have what speeds, only info on the speed increases with the license upgrades.
