Legendary mounts: make a snare, capture a beast and ride
Learn the snare recipe, the quick-slot aiming flow, and how to equip a captured travel mount when the feature is available in your world.
How do I get a Legendary Snare?
Craft at a town workbench, or buy a frame or finished snare from another player when listings are available. The crafting steps are:
- Legendary Snare Frame: Carpentry level 95; 8 Elder Plank + 4 Pine Resin.
- Legendary Snare: Hunter level 98; 1 Legendary Snare Frame + 3 Aurora Pelt + 3 Moth Dust.
Buying a finished snare avoids the maker's crafting requirement. Check the listing quantity and total Coin price before buying. Captured mounts stay with their owner; a tradeable snare is not a tradeable captured mount.
How do I capture a legendary beast?
When you encounter a roaming legendary beast in an available outdoor area, put a Legendary Snare in a quick slot. Select the snare to aim, then aim at the beast within throwing range. Read the result before throwing again. Hitting a beast gives a chance to capture it; a hit is not a guaranteed capture.
This is an encounter in the world. You do not need a tracking overlay to search for a guaranteed spawn. Availability depends on the current world and game service. A catalog entry or a guide does not promise that a beast is currently present, that every world is open, or that a specific color will appear on demand.
How do I equip and ride a mount?
Open the bag after a successful capture. Under Mount equipment, equip an owned mount and choose Ride when the action is available. The field also offers ride and dismount controls. Mounts are for travel: you must dismount before attacking, and hostile hits can dismount you.
Why can I not ride right now?
You need a valid owned selection, a living hero, a suitable outdoor area and a safe state. Combat, recent damage, transitions, hazards and restricted modes can prevent riding. Resolve any pending mount action and wait for its confirmed result before trying a new action.
Choose a mount for travel and appearance. Do not plan a combat build around changing into the beast or receiving a new hero kit; mounting does not turn it into a combat form.
