Starter Mount.

[Silver]

Hi, i was wondering if it was possible to make a low level ride/flying mount that does not require a saddle to mount.

[Suzaku]

Nope. All rideable pals require you to craft a saddle specific to them.

[★REM★]

takes literally 10 minutes from the moment you create your character, to tame a melpaca and build the saddle. It's super fast, super cheap, you can do it at level 3

[Shneekey]

Ethykdeer's saddle is, what, level 10ish? One of the faster ground mounts. Forget what level Vanwyrm is, but that's a solid early game flying mount as well.

[Tetsuri]

saddles are easy to make, so there's no point.

[Buffmania]

If you're playing single player or on your own server there's a few mods on nexus that'll either lower the saddle level requirements or remove them altogether.

[Kituki]

my early go to pals are Nitewing and Direhowl for transportation. Direhowl is a fast early game ground mount and Nitewing is literally everywhere in the starting area.

This mod removes the saddle requirement for ALL mounts. https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/2119

Level 6 and its Rushoar and Foxparks.

But other than that yeah it doesn't take long at all to get to this point even with 0.8x exp

I think if OP is a 'tailored-fit' person, then Tiger's mod suggestion will be ideal. Otherwise, grind until level 15 for that nitewing you'll see in the starter areas.

Bro just adjust your world settings like I did to make the game more enjoyable to your liking. I hated playing on a friends server where everything was jacked up getting raided, losing your gear on death etc.

I put my first base basically where you start and there's a bunch right there to farm out to get you going. A nitewing shows up quite often near the mammorest spawn. Like others said there are mods you can get to multiply drop rates and all. Plus really close by is a small town where you can buy and sell basic goods and even a pet vendor tucked in on the right side that sells really cheap pets of all kinds iirc their collection changes over time. Once you get yourself a jetragon you dont need anything else really.

Ever get a rug burn? When you had one did you ever think about getting the same type of injury at a slower pace for a longer duration? Saddled where invented for a reason. Let me give a more vivid explanation. Animal hair is typically coarse, and their movements are less fluid then they appear. You might think something like a melpaca with hair used for soft clothing would be more comfortable... and you would be wrong. Using Sheep as an example animals with thick soft fur tend to produce a ton of oil to protect themselves from the weather, and their hair tends to get knotted like crazy. Feathers wouldn't be better as basically feathers are hard quills with a bunch of soft quills protruding from it, and like soft fur they are coated in natural oil to protect from the environment.

Direhowls have easy to make saddles, can be found as low as level 6-10, and are faster then the already mentioned pals. Jumping to attack a wolf pack in the early game is ether super fun or terrifying.

For early game Paldium check 95, -415 on your map. For early game ore check 70, -405 on your map. For early game XP never deem a pal species irrelevant until you have captured at least 12 of them. For early game Pal Spheres catch some vixys which only appear in a strip between about 95, -305 & 97, -550.

Where are you looking, and how do you quantify that?

Antler Uppercut

Unfortunately, you will need a saddle for anything. This isn't too much of a problem, though, just for as long as you can make ingots and paldium and know where to farm for leather.

My favorite starter mounts are Eikthyrdeer for land and Nitewing for sky. Eikthyrdeer's Antler Uppercut move can double as a speed boost similar to using a mushroom item in Mariokart. As for the Nitewing, it's basically the earliest and easiest flying mount that you can get, making it perfect for your first flying adventures.

Also, if you are more interested in something that looks cute, Chillet would work. You can get one either by capturing the Chillet boss or finding an egg with one. Eggs tend to be located around the starting areas of the game (most often near the boss, from my experience). The downside is that he has a cold body like Pengullet does, so be sure to bundle up.
