Diablo 4 offers players a lot of options when it comes to making the game their own. Players can play with a party or by themselves, they can transmog their armor and weapons to look exactly how they want, and they can even add Trophies and Headstones to their player.
Another interesting thing players can make their own is their Mount. Not only can you pick your Mount, but you can also add Mount Trophies and Mount Armor to them. Players can obtain Mount Armor in a variety of ways. Here is a guide to get you started searching for Mount Armor.
