Riding traits, and how they multiply

Six traits, three competing slots. Each gives a 10% advantage and charges a 5% penalty somewhere else. Pick the traits your mount has and this works out what it actually rides like — including how two traits on the same stat combine.

The three slots

A mount holds at most one trait per slot — the two traits in each column compete, so no mount can have both. Slots may also sit empty, and most mounts leave one or two that way. Select whatever your mount actually has, including just a single trait.

Folded result

Modifiers on the same attribute multiply. Stamina is a consumption rate, so lower is better — a value under 1.00 means less drain.

How stacking works Verified in game

When two traits touch the same stat, the game multiplies them — it does not add them up. Three real mounts, checked against what the game actually reports:

A gain and a cost stamina

Marathoner + Fancy Feet

1.05 × 0.90 = 0.945 — confirmed

Stamina 0.945  ·  Turn 1.1  ·  Speed 0.95

A gain and a cost turn rate

Technical + Steady

1.10 × 0.95 = 1.045 — confirmed

Turn 1.045  ·  Speed 0.95  ·  Stamina 0.90

Two costs, one stat the decisive case

Sprinter + Fancy Feet

1.05 × 1.05 = 1.1025 — confirmed

Stamina 1.1025  ·  Speed 1.1  ·  Turn 1.1

The third case is the sharpest: two penalties landing on the same stat. Additive folding predicts 1.10, the game reports 1.1025. The trailing 25 only exists if the modifiers multiply.

Party buffs & breeding tools

These work differently from the six above. They change nothing about the mount carrying them — instead they buff everyone riding with you. Parties cap at four including yourself, so one of these covers you and up to three others. A mount can hold one of these and a stat trait at the same time.

Party buff · Speed slot

Faster Together

Your party rides at an increased speed.

+10% speed for all four party members, you included

Party buff · Stamina slot

Horse Power

Your party's mounts use less stamina.

Stamina reduction for all four party members, you included. Likely 10%, matching Faster Together — but unconfirmed
