Transportation

As the world of Middle-earth is rather large, it is highly likely you'll be spending a great deal of time being a traveller. This page is similar to the Transportation page in Vanilla, but it also includes the speeds of some of the mod's new mounts for comparison.

Probably the fastest way of getting around is the mod's Fast Travel System, which is covered on its own page.

Mounts[]

Precise speeds will depend on the particular mount you're using. The speeds here are taken based on the average of five mounts. The max speed listed here is the max of those particular five mounts, rather than a search for the fastest mount of all time, so it is possible that some mounts might be actually faster than this.
