In Diablo 4, players have a wide range of options to customize not only their character's appearance, but also the appearance of their loyal steed. By collecting different breeds, cosmetic armor, and trophies that can be displayed, players have extensive control over the look of their mount.
Acquiring more mounts and horse cosmetics in Diablo 4 can be done in various ways, one of which is through the game's microtransaction store, which has sparked some controversy. However, these cosmetic options are not solely limited to real-life purchases. Certain vendors and events within the game offer new breeds and mount armors that are highly sought after and worth the effort to obtain.
The Microtransaction Store Rotates Horses and Cosmetics Regularly
Players can easily acquire new mounts, mount armors, and trophies by purchasing them from the in-game microtransaction shop. The stock in the Diablo 4 shop is constantly changing, offering a variety of new cosmetics and horses. However, the downside is the high cost, which may deter many players. Nevertheless, those who are willing to spend money can enjoy riding exclusive horse breeds with unique armor without having to grind in-game. Additionally, the Deluxe and Ultimate editions of Diablo 4 include special mounts and armors such as the Light Bearer and Temptation mounts, as well as the Comparison of Faith armor. These upgraded editions can be conveniently purchased from the in-game shop.
Both Regular and PvP Stablemasters Sell Mounts and Armors
In Diablo 4, there are two types of stablemasters. The first type can be found in various settlements throughout Sanctuary and offer a selection of items for sale. These items include the Grey Steed, the Mottled Steed, and the Sturdy Saddle. The prices of these items are determined by the player's level, so starting a new character and heading to Kyovoshad will ensure the best prices.
The second type of stablemasters are PvP vendors who exclusively sell special mount armors. These armors can be purchased using Shards of Hatred. To acquire these Shards, players must participate in events, defeat bosses, and engage in PvP battles in Fields of Hatred areas. Once players have obtained Seeds of Hatred, they can purify them at an altar and use them as currency with these unique stablemasters.
Specific Events and Bosses Drop Cosmetics and Breeds
New mount customizations, such as new breeds, horse cosmetics, and mount trophies, can be obtained from various sources in the open world of Diablo 4. Players can find them by participating in World Bosses and Legion Events, which are known to be particularly fruitful for farming these cosmetic items. Each World Boss has a chance to drop a mount armor, while the mastery chest bonus from Legion Events provides even more opportunities to obtain them.
In addition to the aforementioned sources, new horses and mount armors can also be obtained from regular enemies, repeatable events marked with an orange highlight, Cellars, and other content found throughout the game. However, it is worth noting that Legion Chests offer higher-quality and greater quantities of rewards, significantly increasing the likelihood of finding new mount customizations.
Players can earn unique Trophies by defeating specific enemies in Sanctuary. These Trophies can be displayed on the rear haunch of a mount and are usually rewarded for completing events or defeating specific bosses. For example, players can obtain the Butcher's Cleaver Trophy by defeating The Butcher. Diablo 4 is available on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, as well as Xbox One and Series X|S.
