<h1>How to Get Mounts in Neverwinter: A Comprehensive Guide</h1>
<p>Mounts are an integral part of the **Neverwinter** experience, allowing you to traverse the vast landscapes of the Forgotten Realms with speed and style. Obtaining them involves various methods, from purchasing them from vendors to acquiring them as rare drops from challenging content. The primary ways to acquire mounts in Neverwinter include purchasing them from the **Mount Merchant**, obtaining them as **rare drops** from dungeons and events, redeeming **Mount Requisition Tokens**, and buying them from the **Zen Market**.</p>
<h2>Understanding Mount Acquisition Methods</h2>
<p>There are several avenues available to Neverwinter players looking to expand their collection of mounts. Each method offers unique benefits and requirements, catering to different playstyles and in-game resources.</p>
<h3>Purchasing from the Mount Merchant</h3>
<p>The **Mount Merchant**, Brendon Canter, located in **Shaundakul Stables** within **Protector's Enclave**, is your go-to NPC for basic mounts. He sells common mounts and mount consumables. This is often the first stop for new players seeking a reliable way to get around.</p>
<h3>Obtaining Mounts as Rare Drops</h3>
<p>Many of the more coveted **Legendary mounts** can be obtained as **rare drops** from **dungeons** and various in-game events. These mounts are often **account-wide**, meaning once you obtain one, you can claim it on all of your characters from the **Reward Claims Agent** in Protector's Enclave or directly from the Home menu. The availability and specific mounts that drop vary with each event, so keep an eye on game announcements.</p>
<h3>Redeeming Mount Requisition Tokens</h3>
<p>**Mount Requisition Tokens** can be earned as rewards from quests such as "Giddy Up" or from the [Adventurer's Reward II] and [Adventurer's Reward IV] reward packs. These tokens can be redeemed at the **Mount Merchant** for specific mounts, typically lower-tier horses, offering a guaranteed way to acquire a mount.</p>
<h3>Buying from the Zen Market</h3>
<p>The **Zen Market** is the premium in-game store where you can purchase mounts directly using **Zen**, the game's premium currency. This market offers a wide variety of mounts, from common to epic rarity, including exclusive and visually stunning options like the **Celestial Wings**. Buying mounts through the Zen Market provides instant access to desirable rides.</p>
<h2>Mount Mechanics and Usage</h2>
<p>Once you've acquired a mount, understanding how to use it effectively is crucial. This involves equipping it, understanding its stats, and knowing how to upgrade it.</p>
<h3>Equipping Your Mount</h3>
