Chrono Odyssey: How to Unlock Your Mount and Collect

In the sprawling world of Chrono Odyssey, fast travel and exploration are critical to both your efficiency and enjoyment of the game. Whether you're journeying through the enchanting landscapes of Setera or dashing between shrines to complete your next quest, having a mount makes everything faster—and more stylish. But how exactly do you unlock your first mount in Chrono Odyssey, and what about all those flashy skins you've seen others riding around with?

This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for unlocking your first mount, taming your horse, and acquiring exclusive mount skins, including the coveted all-black and all-white horse skins. Whether you're a new adventurer or a returning player looking to expand your cosmetic collection, this is everything you need to know.

Getting Started: How to Unlock Your First Mount

Unlocking a mount in Chrono Odyssey is not only incredibly useful but surprisingly straightforward. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

Step 1: Locate the Stable NPC

Start by opening your world map and finding the stable NPC marked by a small horse icon above their head. The exact location may vary slightly depending on your region progression, but it's usually tied to a teleport shrine. In early-game areas, it's often located just north of the initial quest hubs.

Once you've fast-traveled to the correct shrine, look for the NPC near a fenced paddock or open field. Interact with them to initiate the mount acquisition questline.

Step 2: Accept the Quest and Head to the Taming Grounds

Upon speaking with the NPC, you'll receive a quest to tame a wild horse. The quest will mark a location east of the NPC, usually an open plain or pasture where wild horses graze. Navigate to the area on foot or via teleportation and look out for a majestic all-white horse, which is the one you'll need to tame.

Step 3: Taming the Wild Horse

Now, here's where things get interesting. Taming the wild horse may either be a breeze or a frustrating game of cat and mouse depending on your approach:

You could get lucky and walk right up to the horse, press E, and tame it on your first try.

More likely, the horse will run away before you get close enough to interact.

To make this process easier, enter stealth mode by pressing TAB and selecting the sneak icon (depicted as a crouching silhouette). This allows you to slowly approach the horse without startling it. When you're close enough, press E to tame the mount. Once successful, a quick animation will play, and the horse becomes yours.

Step 4: Return to the NPC

With your newly-tamed mount, return to the stable NPC who assigned you the quest. Hand in the quest and you'll receive a mount token in your inventory. This is a special item used to officially unlock the mount in your stable system.

Step 5: Register and Use Your Mount

Now, open your inventory, locate the Snowy Mount Token, and activate it. Revisit the stable NPC and head into the Stable Menu, where your unlocked mount will now appear. Equip it, then simply press T (default hotkey) to summon and ride your horse.

Congratulations—you now have your first mount and can explore the world of Setera at double the speed!

Unlocking Mount Skins: Ride in Style

So you've unlocked your mount and are enjoying the thrill of galloping across fields, but let's face it—you're not here to ride just any horse. You want style, you want elegance, and you want that all-black horse skin you've seen flaunted by higher-level players. Good news: Unlocking mount skins is just as accessible as the base mount.

Here's how you can start building your collection:

Step 1: Visit the Mount Skin Merchant

Return once again to the stable area, but this time look for an NPC with a shopping cart icon above their head. This is the Mount Skin Vendor, and they offer a variety of skins that change the appearance of your mount.

Step 2: Browse the Available Skins

Interact with the vendor to view a collection of mount tokens available for purchase. Each one corresponds to a different skin, such as:

All-Black Stallion

Pinto (Spotted Coat)

Golden Mane Charger

War Horse with Armor Trim

Step 3: Buy the Mount Skin Token

Each mount skin has a cost in gold, typically around 100,000 Chrono Odyssey gold. Yes, it's a hefty price tag, but fashion is fashion, and Chrono Odyssey is no stranger to luxury. As a reminder, this is purely cosmetic—these skins do not provide any gameplay advantage, but they make you look like a legend.

Once you have enough gold:

Buy the token for your desired skin.

Go back to the stable system and use the token to unlock the skin.

Equip your desired skin from the stable menu.

Ride with pride.

Tips for Earning Gold for Mount Skins

100,000 gold might sound like a mountain for new players, but there are efficient ways to earn it:

1. Complete Daily Contracts and Bounties: These reward gold and valuable gear that you can sell.

2. Farm Elite Enemies or Bosses: Rare drops can be sold at the auction house.

3. Participate in Events: Some server-wide events drop gold directly or yield tradable items.

4. Crafting and Gathering: Sell refined materials to other players on the market.

Building up the gold might take time, but you'll feel that much more rewarded when you ride into battle on a midnight-black steed.

Changing and Managing Mounts

Once you've unlocked multiple mounts or skins, you can manage them via the Mount Menu in the Stable. Here's what you can do:

Rename Your Mount: Give your trusty companion a fitting name.

Set Default Skin: Pick which skin you want active.

Upgrade Saddle and Gear: While not available in all regions, future patches may introduce mount gear for additional customization and speed boosts.

Dye Your Mount Gear: Some cosmetic gear will allow color customization.

What Makes Mounts So Important in Chrono Odyssey?

Unlike many MMOs that treat mounts as flashy optional extras, Chrono Odyssey integrates mounts into the core of exploration. The world of Setera is massive, and on foot, traversal can be slow, especially when you're dodging enemy patrols or trying to outrun a world boss that just spotted you.

Final Thoughts: Ride with Pride

The world of Setera is vast, beautiful, and dangerous. Unlocking your mount in Chrono Odyssey is one of the most satisfying early milestones, giving you freedom, speed, and a stylish way to express yourself. Whether you're taming your first snowy stallion or saving up gold for the sleek black warhorse skin, mounts are more than just vehicles—they're a key part of your identity in this immersive fantasy universe.
