Body control
Main Page / Characteristics / Body / Body control
Body control is a characteristic that helps with accuracy and stealthing, and determines the mounts a player can ride.
Smithing, carpentry, and tailoring skills all offer decent Body Control skill, as does archery and certain weapon skills. The best method to gain body control is by archery and fighting but smithing and carpentry both offer decent skill gain.
Chopping trees with a longsword and two handed sword also offers good Body Control gains. Note; this only works until 20 skill, or 20 effective skill on Epic.
Archery on an archery target is excellent until about skill level 30.

The body control required to ride a cow has been decreased again to non-prem levels (tested Jan. 20, 2013 on a non-prem character with 19.508253 body control). So currently cows are the only animals non-prem characters can ride.
