Mounts have finally arrived in New World but even though Amazon Game Studios gave a few directions to let you know how to get one, they are outside the game so it's possible you missed them.
If you are looking to get all the necessary info about your mount, you have come to the right place.
First, you will need two things to qualify for having a mount at all - level 25 and Rise of the Angry Earth expansion. If either one is missing, you can't start the quest.
If you satisfy both conditions, you will see two quest icons appear on the map, resembling a horseshoe. One is in Oxboro, the town in Everfall, and the other one is directly north of it.
The quest in the town basically just points you to the quest at the northern Everfall border so you might as well skip directly to it.
Once you're there, you will need to talk with Jochi Khan, who will give you the mount rundown.
The quest is rather straightforward - you go to a couple of places and then you need to craft oats for your first horse. They are crafted at the camp so if there aren't any camps nearby that you can claim, just sprout one up yourself and use it to craft the item.
Once that's done, proceed to the next quest marker, feed the horse and then return to Jochi to get your first mount. It will be delivered as an item in your inventory so open the interface and double-click the Moonshadow horse to equip it.
After that, you can summon the horse with the hotkey, bound to "X" on your keyboard by default.
With that done, Jochi will also give you a few introductory quests to raise your Riding skill. You don't need to complete all the races as your mount is fully available from that moment onwards.
However, completing them does provide additional Riding experience, which will improve your mount via items you unlock through the trade skill or passive bonuses, such as the speed improvements at 50, 100, 150 and 200 Riding.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of mounts is locked behind premium currency in the shop so if you want to ride something fancier than the default horse, you will need to pay up.
