In the charming world of Raise Animals, one of the most sought-after cosmetic items is the Mount Potion. This special item allows you to ride one of your beloved animals around the lobby, adding a new layer of fun and personalization to your experience. If you’ve been wondering how to get your hands on this potion and use it correctly, you’ve come to the right place.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about the Mount Potion, from its location and price to a step-by-step guide on using it safely.
What is the Mount Potion?
The Mount Potion is a cosmetic item that permanently transforms a single animal into your personal mount. Once applied, you can ride that specific animal in the lobby. It’s important to understand that the effect is permanent and cannot be reversed or transferred to another animal. Therefore, choosing which animal to use it on is a crucial decision.
How to Get the Mount Potion
The availability of the Mount Potion has changed since the game’s early days.
Initially, the potion was exclusively available during the Everdawn Event, where it could be purchased for eight Gems.
However, the potion is now a permanent item in the game’s shop. You can find it in a new shop located in the area opposite the other existing shops. The permanent price for the Mount Potion is 15,000 Rubies.
A Safe Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Mount Potion
Because the effect is permanent, it’s vital to follow these steps carefully to avoid using the potion on the wrong animal.
Prepare Your Lobby: The safest method is to pick up and store all of your animals except for the one you have chosen to become your mount. This prevents any accidental misclicks.
Select the Potion: Ensure the Mount Potion is in your inventory and equip it by holding it in your hand.
Approach the Animal: Walk your character close to the animal you wish to mount.
Apply the Potion: A prompt will appear on your screen. Press the indicated button to use the potion on the animal.
Once successfully applied, you will notice the animal shrink slightly in size to allow your character to sit on it comfortably.
How to Ride Your Mount and Key Features
After the potion has been applied, riding your new mount is simple.
Stand near your mount and press the F key to hop on and off.
Any mutations or special skins your animal has will remain visible while you are riding it.
The Mount Potion is purely cosmetic and does not provide any gameplay advantages or stat boosts.
Interestingly, you can still climb onto other animals in the lobby even if they haven’t been given a Mount Potion, but you cannot ride them as a permanent mount.
Tips for Choosing the Right Animal
With a price tag of 15,000 Rubies and a one-time use per animal, you’ll want to make your choice count. Here are some tips:
Pick a Favorite: Choose an animal you have a particular attachment to, as you will be seeing it a lot.
Showcase Rarity: Using the potion on a rare or hard-to-obtain animal (like one with a unique mutation or skin) is a great way to show off your collection.
Cosmetic Enjoyment: Think of it as a fashion statement. A mount makes your AFK time in the lobby or your collection display much more visually interesting.
