Wondering how one actually levels up their riding proficiency in New World? Here’s a quick guide to the grind – and why our boosting service can save you from it. Raising Riding Skill from 1 to 100 (or 250) requires a variety of activities, and none of them are as simple as just riding around. Check out the main methods and their XP (experience) yields:
- Time Trial Races (Tours & Rallies): Scattered across Aeternum in New World are timed challenges that deliver hefty Riding Skill XP. A gold finish can yield 5,000+ XP, making these runs one of the best methods for upping your speed if you enjoy action-packed competition. Repeat them frequently to get a serious boost for any horse or other mount you plan to ride across diverse terrains.
- Feeding Your Companion (Vittles): In New World, certain feeds grant chunks of Riding Skill XP with each use—Basic Vittles I provide 1,250 XP, while Luxury Vittles IV can yield 15,000 XP. This method quickly raises any mount’s power and speed, making it one of the best ways to grow a stable of horses or dire wolves. Resource collection can be tedious, so a boost helps accelerate progress and lets you focus on more thrilling parts of Aeternum.
- Riding Quests & Challenges: The expansion introduced quest lines that drop large sums of Riding Skill XP—some awarding 20,000+ XP in one go. Completing these tasks grants extra gear and can unlock the best possible mount perks, ensuring unparalleled speed during travels. Combined with a boost, these quests streamline your path to high-level mastery in New World, whether you favor horses, dire wolves, or lions.
All these activities take serious time and repetition – a true New World grind. That’s where ChaosBoost comes in: our experienced players handle all of the above efficiently, so you can skip straight to the fun part (enjoying a fully boosted Riding Skill and blazing mount speed).
At high Riding Skill, all three mount types (horses, dire wolves, lions) become remarkably swift in New World. Which one aligns best with your approach? Let’s compare their strengths and see how a boost further refines each choice.
- Horse: Horses are the classic mount – reliable and fast. At high Riding Skill, a good horse reaches the top speed just as well as any other mount. It has smooth handling on roads and looks heroic charging across the plains. Many players consider horses the best all-around choice for speed and style.
- Dire Wolf: Dire wolves add a feral flair to your travels. They are every bit as speedy as horses at Riding Skill 100+, and some riders swear wolves feel more agile on rough terrain. If you love the idea of a mount with fangs and fur, a dire wolf won’t let you down in either looks or velocity.
- Lion: Lions are the king of style and roar with pride. At max Riding Skill, a lion thunders across Aeternum with incredible speed equal to the fastest horses and wolves. Lions might have a slightly longer sprint endurance (after all, they’re apex predators built for chases), making them great for sustained runs. When you ride a lion at full tilt, you’re making a statement – and backing it up with top-tier speed.
Ultimately, the “best” mount in New World comes down to personal preference; at max Riding Skill, even a basic horse runs as fast as any top-tier companion with a proper boost. So whether you’re a horse lover, a wolf tamer, or lion-hearted, rest assured your mount will perform at its best once your Riding Skill is maxed out.
