Mounts

There are several types of mounts in ArcheAge. Each race has its own unique mount obtainable via quest at very early levels.

Elk
The Elk is the faction mount of the Elves. It is available in White, Green and Purple.

Lion
Although this mount is obtainable by all races, the Firran have the easiest access to it as the vendor is located in their beginning town.

Donkey
The Donkey can be bought at Mirage Island with Gila Stars or through the second step of the Trade Run guide quest. Donkeys come in 5 color options (black, white, grey, brown and ..?). They have a basic spead of 7.4 which makes them slower than Faction mounts. But Donkeys are able to carry heavy weight and maintain a reasonable speed when one carries Specialty Goods.

Donkeys do not learn any attack skills and have only two skills available upon reaching level 20, which are both temporary speed buffs (the first needs a carrot each time and the Donkey can still be headed into different direction, the second is a dash with the direction fixed).
