# Mount System

## 📘 Saddle Master

The **Saddle Master** is a special system in *The Good Old Days* that allows players to gradually enhance their **Travel Mounts** through a timed incubation process. Each stage requires **zeny**, **rare fragments**, and **materials**, along with a waiting period. Higher levels carry reduced success rates, making each upgrade an investment of both risk and reward.

***

### ⚙️ How It Works

* You can buy a **Mount Capsule** at the **Tool Dealer** inside the Main Office.

* **Start Incubation** – Exchange your current mount, zeny, and materials to begin incubation.

* **Incubation Period** – Each upgrade requires several hours of real-time growth.
* **Claiming the Result**
  * **Success →** The mount evolves into the next stage.
  * **Failure →** The mount reverts to its previous stage (safely returned).
