'''Monster Riding''' is the quest that teaches your character to ride a tamed monster. [[NPC:Kenta|Kenta]], the monster tamer in the Aquarium Zoo, wants you to guard his Watch Hog in a private room and bring back five Pheromone and five Kenta's Reports.

== Requirements ==
* Level 70 or higher.
* 3rd job or higher. Dual Blades can take it too.
* Nothing else: there is no earlier quest.

== Walkthrough ==
# Go to [[Map:Zoo|Zoo]] in the Aquarium (Aqua Road) and talk to [[NPC:Kenta|Kenta]]. Accept '''Monster Riding'''.
# Talk to Kenta again. While the quest is running and you do not yet hold 5 [[Item:Pheromone|Pheromone]] and 5 [[Item:Kenta's Report|Kenta's Report]], he lets you into a '''private copy of [[Map:Kenta's Breeding Room|Kenta's Breeding Room]]'''. Anything of those two items you already carried is taken on the way in.
# You have '''5 minutes'''. Inside:
#* The [[Monster:Watchhog|Watchhog]] (24,000 HP) is attacked by Barnard Grays and Zeta Grays. Kill the Grays before they touch it. They keep respawning every 10 seconds.
#* The Watchhog drops one Pheromone every 30 seconds while it is alive. Pick each one up.
#* Four chests stand around the room. Break each one for a Kenta's Report. A chest comes back after 30 seconds (the two higher ones) or 50 seconds (the two lower ones).
# When you hold 5 of each, talk to the Kenta standing inside. He sends you back to the Zoo.
# Talk to Kenta in the Zoo again to hand in the quest. You receive the Saddle, 210,000 EXP and the Monster Rider skill.

{{Changed|The original game paid 32,000 EXP for this quest; MapleVerse pays 210,000 EXP.}}

== What happens if it goes wrong ==
* If the Watchhog is killed, or the 5 minutes run out, you are sent out and both items are removed. Start the run again from Kenta.
* If you talk to the Kenta inside before you have 5 of each, he asks if you really want to leave. Saying yes sends you out and removes the items.
* A message "Please protect the pig from the aliens!" means the hog has just lost a lot of HP. Clear the Grays.
* "There is currently someone in this map, come back later." means every room is busy. Try again shortly.

== After the quest: getting a mount ==
The quest gives you the skill and the saddle, not the mount. The skill appears on the Beginner tab of your skill window and can be put on a hotkey.
# Talk to Kenta and accept '''Pheromone Perfume''' (160,000 EXP).
# It sends you to [[NPC:Chief Tatamo|Chief Tatamo]] in [[Map:Leafre|Leafre]]. His quest '''Dragon's Perfume Bottle''' costs '''20,000,000 Vesos''' and gives a Dragon's Perfume Bottle. Take it to Kenta for the [[Item:Pheromone Perfume|Pheromone Perfume]].
# Go to [[Map:Tiger Ridge|Tiger Ridge]] in Korean Folk Town. A hidden (invisible) portal there leads to [[Map:The Area of Wild Hog|The Area of Wild Hog]]. Use the perfume close to a [[Monster:Tamable Hog|Tamable Hog]] to tame it and receive the [[Item:Hog|Hog]].
# Equip the Hog and the Saddle, then use Monster Rider.

== Common problems ==
* '''"I did not get the skill."''' It was granted but used to be hidden. Look on the Beginner tab.
* '''"Kenta only talks about the pig."''' That is what he says if you have not started the quest, or already hold both item sets.
* '''Your mount cannot be ridden inside the Breeding Room''', and you cannot use Mystic Door or change channel there.
