How to Acquire Reputation Mounts
There are two requirements for being able to buy a reputation horse from a faction:
- Kindred Standing: people won’t sell their prized animals to just anyone. You must earn their trust first.
- The Right Currency: While many of the early reputation steeds require a large chunk of Coin (gold, silver and copper) that’s not true of many places. Often you’ll need to have some of the local currency. These are usually earnable through quests but may also be awarded for completing deeds in the region.
Mounts Through Deeds
Sometimes you can acquire your mount for free! By that I mean, work for it – but pay no coins or tokens. This is because occasionally a mount is acquired through the completion of a deed, rather than your reputation standing. I have included the ones I have here.
Reputation Mounts List
I am in the process of fixing layout issues here, so please bear with me. Thank you.
Most reputation mounts have the word “Prized” at the start. But that would make for awfully repetative reading! So, I’ve left that word off the steed name. Here are 25 Reputation Mounts you can earn in-game:

Special Reputation Mounts
Not all horses related to your standing with LOTRO factions are simply a case of “getting Kindred” with one faction. So far I have encountered four “special reputation mounts”. These are:
Elf-Ambassador’s Horse
You will be automatically granted the Elf Ambassador’s Horse/Pony, once you reach Kindred standing with:
- Elves of Rivendell (the Trollshaws)
- The Galadrim (Lothlórien)
- The Malledhrim (Mirkwood)
When you have completed these three factions, you will also complete the Ambassador to the Elves Deed. This grants:
- × 20 LOTRO Points
- Title: Ambassador to the Elves
- Mount Item: Steed of the Elf-Lords
Steed of Eriador
The Steed of Eriador is granted once you reach Kindred with all 11 Eriador factions. This includes the Grey Company.
Completing these factions completes the World Renowned Deed . This also grants:
- × 50 LOTRO Points
- Title: World Renowned
Wild Trestlebridge Steed
This also grants:
- × 20 Marks of the Wild:
- Title: Wild <Character Name>
- +4,000 Virtue XP (VXP)
Steed of Cardolan’s Dawn
A Note to F2P/Premium Players
If you are Free-to-Play or Premium, your ability to buy the reputation steeds that require coin will be restricted. I believe even Premium players have a 5 Gold cap. If you are Premium, you can obtain:
But it will leave you with no coin!
How to Remove the LOTRO Gold Cap
- 150 LOTRO Points: The Deeds of the Shire
- 135 LOTRO Points: The Deeds of Ered Luin: Explorer of Ered Luin (20LP), Slayer of Ered Luin (75LP) and Hero of Ered Luin (35LP)
- 200 LOTRO Points: The Deeds of Bree-land
- Explorer of Bree-land: 45 LP (e.g. History of the Dúnedain, Ruins of Bree-land)
- Slayer of Bree-land: 120 LP
- Bree-land Adventurer: 35LP
And you’ll have points left over!
Also, as faction-specific deeds also grant repuation, you can earn additional LOTRO Points when you’re questing and deeding in those regions.
TL;DR Collect All the Reputation Mounts!
For me, the main motivation behind hitting Kindred with factions is to acquire the Reputation Mounts. This includes even my characters that have War-Steeds. You cannot acquire these horses and goats any other way, so they are a reward for just playing LOTRO. So go forth, make friends and fill those stables with more horses – and goats!
