It will be marked as a “Merchant” icon on your compass and map, though the actual merchant is just a small piece of paper hanging on a sign.įor the tables below, the preview thumbnails are pretty small.
To buy mounts, once they're available, interact with the small sign next to your stable. That mount will then be your “active” mount, the one you'll call in the field. When you interact with it, a menu will pop up and you can select your type and specific mount.
You must return to your base (either Haven or Skyhold as applicable), then interact with the stable where your mount waits. However, you cannot change mounts from the field. Once you own a mount, whether you purchase it or simply unlock it, it's permanently yours. Simply talking to the Horsemaster and agreeing to help make the road safe for his horses will reward you with your very own mount: a free Ferelden Forder! One of the first you'll hear about upon arriving in The Hinterlands is the Master of Horses quest, located in the far west of the map. You can obtain a mount very early on in the game if you are observant and make sure to investigate Side Quests.
