Riding Skill ID

Riding is one of Valheim's character skills, tracked under the internal ID Riding. Animal speed and stamina drain.

Experience is gained at 0.2 per second while sprinting.

At max level (100) it grants +25% sprint speed,-50% stamina usage.

Adjust your level from the console with raiseskill Riding 10 to add 10 points, or resetskill Riding to wipe it back to 0.

Every Valheim skill ranges from level 0 to 100, and its bonus grows as the level climbs — the +25% sprint speed,-50% stamina usage above is the full value you reach at level 100. Riding earns experience at 0.2 per second while sprinting, so it climbs fastest when you use it deliberately.

Dying is the catch: each death drains roughly 5% of your level in every skill, Riding included, so a hard-won level erodes quickly on a dangerous run. To claw it back without the grind, run raiseskill Riding 10 — that adds ten levels at once, and you can pass any amount (or a negative number to lower it). Prefer a clean slate? resetskill Riding wipes the skill back to 0.
