MVP Mount Taming Guide

Some of the rarest and most impressive mounts in Ragnarok The New World are obtained through MVP encounters, where specific bosses drop mount items that can be used to tame unique creatures. These MVP mounts offer distinct appearances, superior movement stats, and in some cases, the ability to fly across the open world. This guide covers every MVP that drops mount items, the taming process for each, and strategies for obtaining these prestigious companions.

MVP mount drops are among the rarest items in the game, with drop rates comparable to MVP cards. Obtaining an MVP mount requires either exceptional luck on a single kill or consistent participation in MVP hunting over an extended period. The rarity of these mounts makes them status symbols that demonstrate dedication and commitment to endgame content.

MVP Mount Drops

Ground Mount Drops

Flying Mount Drops

Flying mounts from MVP drops are the rarest items in the game and command extraordinary value in the player economy. The Storm Eagle from Stormy Knight is the most commonly sought flying mount due to its impressive visual design and practical flight speed. The flying mounts guide covers flight mechanics and usage in detail.

Taming Process

Obtaining the Mount Item

When an MVP drops a mount item, it appears in the drop distribution for the eligible party. The mount item is typically a tradeable object until used, meaning it can be sold through the auction house for substantial Zeny. Players who prefer guaranteed acquisition may purchase mount items from other players rather than relying on drop luck.

Using the Mount Item

To tame an MVP mount, use the mount item from your inventory while in an appropriate open area. The taming process involves a brief animation sequence where your character bonds with the mount creature. Once tamed, the mount is permanently added to your mount collection and can be summoned from any location.

Mount Requirements

Some MVP mounts have level requirements before they can be used. Flying mounts typically require a higher base level than ground mounts, reflecting their superior capabilities. Ensure you meet the level requirement before purchasing or using a mount item to avoid having a valuable item sitting unused in your inventory.

Hunting Strategy for Mount Drops

Target Selection

Focus your MVP hunting on specific MVPs that drop the mount you want. Rather than hunting random MVPs, track the spawn timers for your target MVP and participate in every kill opportunity. The MVP spawn timer guide provides complete schedules for all MVPs.

Each MVP has a specific element weakness and attack pattern that affects kill efficiency. For mount hunters, learning these patterns for your target MVP is essential because faster kills mean more total kills over time, which directly increases your mount drop probability. The MVP weakness chart provides detailed element data for optimizing your party composition against each target.

Kill Volume Strategy

Given the extremely low drop rates for mount items, the most practical acquisition strategy is maximizing your total number of MVP kills. Join an active guild that hunts MVPs consistently, participate in every available kill, and accumulate attempts over weeks and months. The law of large numbers eventually favors consistent participants.

To illustrate the math: if a flying mount drop rate is approximately 0.03% per kill, and you participate in 2 kills per day on average, your expected timeline to obtain one is roughly 3,300 attempts or about 4.5 years of daily hunting. However, joining a guild that kills 10 MVPs per day across multiple spawn windows reduces that timeline to approximately 11 months. This dramatic difference underscores why guild participation is effectively mandatory for MVP mount acquisition.

Economic Acquisition

If you have sufficient Zeny but insufficient time for dedicated MVP hunting, purchasing mount items from the auction house provides a guaranteed path to MVP mounts. The prices reflect the rarity: ground mount items cost millions of Zeny, while flying mount items cost tens of millions. The Zeny farming guide covers income strategies for accumulating this level of wealth.

When considering economic acquisition, compare the Zeny cost of the mount item against the opportunity cost of your time. If you earn 500,000 Zeny per hour from farming, and a ground mount item costs 20 million Zeny, the mount represents approximately 40 hours of farming time. For many players, this calculated comparison makes direct purchase more attractive than gambling on drop luck over an uncertain timeframe.

Mount Usage and Benefits

Ground Mount Benefits

Ground mounts provide movement speed bonuses that reduce travel time between locations. While the movement speed bonus may seem modest, the cumulative time savings over hundreds of hours of gameplay is significant. Mounts also provide visual prestige, as other players can see which mounts you have collected. The Orc Mount from Orc Hero offers a unique tribal aesthetic that distinguishes its rider in crowded areas like Prontera, while the Fox Spirit from Moonlight Flower features an elegant running animation that appeals to players who value graceful visual design.

When comparing ground mounts to standard walking speed, a mount with a 5% movement bonus saves approximately 30 seconds per round trip between Prontera and Izlude. Over the course of daily activities that involve dozens of trips between NPCs, dungeons, and quest locations, this time saving compounds to 10-15 minutes per play session. For players focused on daily routine efficiency, ground mounts represent a non-trivial quality-of-life improvement.

Flying Mount Benefits

Flying mounts provide the ability to travel through the air, accessing elevated locations and bypassing ground-level obstacles. This capability is transformative for exploration, as many areas of Midgard contain elevated terrain that is inaccessible on foot or ground mount. The exploration guide covers locations that require flying mounts.

Flying mounts also provide tactical advantages during world content. When traveling to MVP spawn locations, a flying mount can take direct aerial routes that avoid ground-level mob aggro and terrain obstacles, arriving at the spawn point faster and without combat interruptions. This advantage is particularly valuable for competitive MVP hunting, where seconds of arrival time can determine which party secures the kill.

Mount in Combat

Mounts provide no combat bonuses in Ragnarok The New World, serving exclusively as transportation and cosmetic items. You cannot attack while mounted and must dismount before engaging in combat. However, the movement speed benefits between combat encounters make mounts valuable for farming efficiency and event participation.

Despite the lack of combat stats, mounts indirectly improve combat efficiency through faster repositioning between fights. During mob grinding sessions, the time saved mounting and traveling between spawn clusters adds up meaningfully over extended farming periods. The Zeny farming guide recommends using mounts to maximize farming circuit efficiency.

Mount Comparison and Selection Priority

Which MVP Mount to Pursue First

For most players, the Storm Eagle from Stormy Knight represents the best first MVP mount target. It combines practical flying capability with the most attainable drop rate among flying mounts. Stormy Knight spawns on a relatively frequent 4-hour timer and is widely hunted, meaning many kill opportunities exist even if you do not track the spawn yourself.

The Shadow Bat from Dark Lord is a strong second choice, offering similar flight capability with a distinctive dark aesthetic. However, Dark Lord is a more challenging MVP than Stormy Knight, requiring better party composition and gear to kill efficiently.

Ground vs Flying Mount Priority

If you primarily play in areas with accessible ground paths and do not focus on exploration content, a ground mount from Orc Hero or Moonlight Flower may serve your needs adequately at a fraction of the acquisition cost. Flying mounts shine for players who regularly engage in exploration, MVP hunting across distant zones, or who simply want the most prestigious and visually impressive mount available.

FAQ

Can MVP mount items be traded?

Most MVP mount items are tradeable before they are used. Once used to tame the mount, the mount becomes bound to your account and cannot be transferred. Check the specific item description before purchasing to confirm tradeability.

How rare are flying mount drops?

Flying mount drops from MVPs have estimated drop rates below 0.05% per kill. This means you would need to participate in approximately 2000 or more kills to have a reasonable probability of obtaining one. The extreme rarity makes flying mounts the most prestigious items in the game.

Are there alternatives to MVP mounts for flying?

Yes, non-MVP flying mounts are available through other systems including quest rewards, event participation, and the standard taming system. These alternative flying mounts have different appearances and slightly lower movement stats than MVP flying mounts but provide the same core flight capability. See the flying mounts guide for non-MVP options.

Can I use mounts across different classes?

Yes, mounts are account-bound and available to all classes through the Job Freedom system. When you switch classes, your mount collection remains accessible. This means investing in a rare mount benefits all your class configurations equally.

What is the fastest mount in the game?

The MVP flying mounts from Stormy Knight and Dark Lord provide the highest movement speed in the game, both on the ground and in the air. Among ground mounts, the Golden Orc from Orc Lord offers the fastest land movement. The speed difference between mounts is modest, making visual preference a valid selection criterion alongside performance.
