    If you don't have one already, how about a 42.7k horse?

    Yeah my friend recommended that, but I have a 27,20,15 default horse so what's the point of a new one? Thanks!

    The 42.7k horses have bonus stats, which may or may not be useful. This site has a nice breakdown of said stats.

    I had a look at that, read it all. Yet, I still don't see the point it's just a new skin? Sure you look surperior to overs, but that's not a biggie

    No, the 47k horse has a higher base speed to start with, so it will level further than the low level horses.

    Oh!!! I get it! So let's say I have 15 speed on my basic, and 15 on a light horse, the light horse will go faster?

    The difference is if all you care about speed, you would buy the horse that starts with 25 speed. Then, after 50 levels, you would have 75 speed instead of 65.

    Or, you can buy the 15 speed horse and go the same speed, and use the free 10 bag slots.

    I've got my horse maxed at the 65% and a lot of the time it's too fast. I really wish the thing had gears.

    I want to travel fast - but not so fast that I run past nodes without even catching a glimpse or run into groups of mobs (or enemy players) before I see them.
    I've even run off a cliff a couple of times. (It has lousy brakes)

    No way would I pay 42k gold to go even faster!

    'Clever' sigs get old real fast - just like this one.

    The point of it Censorious is for PVP. Speed horses are invaluable for that.

    At the OP, horses only have a max of 49 upgrades (capped at lvl 50 and start out at lvl 1). That is why the 42k horses will always be superior to a basic horse if you stack the stats.

    Good point, I'll probably buy the draft one :)

    Yeah, I don't give much about speed it's just that it's shorter than Bagspace and stamina xD
