Quick Answer
Farever gives every player a free mount and a free companion through the in-game Shop. Open the Escape menu, navigate to the Shop tab, and claim them at no cost. Additional mounts and companions can be found as rare drops from overworld enemies and dungeon bosses.

How to Get Your Free Mount
- Press Esc to open the game menu
- Navigate to the Shop tab
- Find the free mount listing — it costs zero currency
- Click Claim to add it to your collection
- Open your mount menu to equip and summon it
No level requirement. No quest prerequisite. No real-money purchase needed.
Many new players miss this because the word "Shop" implies paid items only. The free mount and companion are deliberately placed there as starter gifts.
How to Get Your Free Companion
The same Shop menu includes a free companion:
- Open Esc → Shop
- Locate the free companion entry
- Claim it
- Equip from your companion menu
Companions follow your character in the overworld. Whether companions provide gameplay benefits beyond cosmetic presence is still being tested by the community.

Common Questions New Players Ask
Where is the Shop menu? Press Esc during gameplay. The Shop is one of the tabs in the main menu. It is not a separate NPC or location in the world.
Do mounts work inside dungeons? Mounts are generally disabled inside dungeon instances. They are used for overworld travel and exploration.
Are there different mount speeds? Not confirmed in the current Early Access build. All mounts appear to provide the same movement speed increase.
I claimed the mount but cannot find it — what do I do? Check your mount or collection menu, not your inventory. If it does not appear, restart the game client. Some players have reported a brief delay after claiming.
Can I trade mounts with other players? Not confirmed. The player trading system in Early Access is limited.
FAQ
Is the free mount really free? Yes. It is claimed through the in-game Shop at zero cost. No premium currency, no real money, no quest required.
How many mounts are in the game? The exact total number is still being documented. The free mount is the only guaranteed one; others are rare drops.
Do companions do anything in combat? Not confirmed. Companions appear to be cosmetic followers during Early Access. Check patch notes for changes.
When should I claim my free mount? Immediately. There is no reason to wait. Open the Shop as soon as you can access the Esc menu.
