Could we have Stat Mounts that're not PvP or PvE related?
Like a Fishing or Gardening Booster Mount?

There's a problem with this. Once you come off your mount, you lose any bonus they gave you. When you enter sigils most of the time, you do not have your stat bonus. They would have to change it so that when you dismounted, you would keep those benefits; especially if they ever start letting up stick jewels on them

They could make it a rare instance that you don't get off your Mount when you Garden or Fish.

Perhaps the Fishing Boat from the Mystic Fishing Retreat Bundle would be a good start to add Stats onto (5% Fishing Luck, maybe) as you can't fish in real life with no boat if you're in a large body of water so it'd make sense to have some exceptions. In the case of Fishing, the camera zooms in on your Lure when you Fish making Mount Visibility irrelevant imo. In the case of Gardening, most of your spells you cast are out of range from your Mount to be a concern unless you Garden Stack and everything is compacted.

If Mounts can't be available while you Fish or Garden, perhaps we could gain the Stats by association with it being in your Pack.

I'd be fine with that (getting the stat bonus for it being in your backpack). Yes, fishing does zoom in, which Im fine with, however, they don't need to remove us from our mounts to fish; though maybe they do to make the graphics work. It reminds me of what Pixar/Disney went through when doing Frozen. Any time they tried to make Elsa's hair function properly, the animation would crash, but, when they moved her hair to drape over her shoulder, it never failed. Perhaps KI ran into this kind of issue and we needed to be dismounted.
