Een speler die een op monster rijdt.
Riding is een skill die spelers kunnen trainen vanaf level 30. Je kunt de skill aan leren bij verschillende Riding trainers. Je hebt hiervoor een geld bedrag nodig van minimaal 31 goudstukken en 50 zilverstukken. Riding is niet bepaald een goedkope skill, dus is het aangeraden om al vroeg te beginnen met sparen. Als je de mogelijkheid hebt, om het je te laten trainen, zul je ook nog een dier moeten kopen waarop je kan rijden. Ook deze zijn erg duren en de prijsklassen zijn ook erg hoog.
Riding kan getraind worden op een mount. Een mount is een dier waarop je rijdt. Hiermee kun je sneller reizen van de ene plek naar de andere plek. De standaard-mount heeft een +60% bonus en de epic-mount, welke kan aangeschaft worden vanaf level 60, heeft een +100% snelheid-bonus.
