Topic says it. Rolled a new character. I have the imperial edition, but there is no inexpensive imperial mount to buy. ??

Thank you.

    its in your collection permanately now
    As a casual player I was satisfied that at one point I had a char max level and near max crafting with almost all motifs and I pretty much lost interest. Then ESO discovered DLC's and now my main is just a wanabe and I am happily pulled back into the game.

    Would that have something to do with the cancelation of the rewards program??

    No, it's because of the crown store. Now all mounts are shared account-wide.

    So anyone who bought Imperial edition can no longer buy a horse for 1 gold anymore? They have to pay the full price?

    But all of your characters will have it as long as they purchased it at least once on one other character. Why would you want to buy another?

    No you don't need to as most likely you have already purchased one and you only need one as it is now shared with all characters.

    Don't know. I don't have the Imperial Edition to test it out. All I know is that mounts that you already have, or purchase in the crown store, will be available to all characters on your account.

    Your missing my point, new players with imperial edition before did not have to save up a crap ton of gold and could get a horse at the start of the game for 1 gold?

    Is that not the case anymore? Do imperials have to saved up 14k+ gold for a horse now?

    Or is it completely skill based you use a skillpoint in?

    Seems like imperial edition owners just got screwed and now it doesnt matter what edition you have it's all the same...which means anyone who bought imp editions just wasted their money.

    People buying the Imperial ed. after today will no longer have to pay the outrageous price of 1 gp per character for the white Imperial horse. Instead it will automatically be available for free in the collection system for all characters.

    Not trying to be mean but seriously......you guys can test the patience with some questions. The horse is in your collection. If you buy the imperial edition later, the horse will be added into your collection.
    "And it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days. The fact that the word "monetized" exists points to the heart of the issue for us: We don't want the player to worry about which parts of the game to pay for - with our system, they get it all."

    Horse no longer have their own stats. They are all cosmetic skins now. Your highest stats from before combined and are now an individual riding skill on each character.

    I can't check the Live server because EU hasn't got the patch yet, but if it works the same as it currently does on the PTS (and I don't see why it wouldn't) players with the Imperial Edition do still have access to the 1g Imperial horse.

    I don't know if you need to buy the first one from the stable for 1g or if it's just unlocked automatically, but after that it's in the collections menu for every single character.

    Even a character who has never left Coldharbour has the horse unlocked and can set it as their active mount (although it looks like you can't ride a horse in Coldharbour).

    I was able to buy my one gold horse from the stables on PTS. So unless they changed that you should be good.

    But can you still purchase a horse for 1 gold? OR how do you get your first horse/mount?

    The character I made today is unable to purchase the imperial mount, or any mount for the few silver/gold we could before.

    My other characters all have mounts. This new one does not. When I HIT H, it says "no mount". When I talk to stablemaster, there is no mount; only expensive ones to buy.

    The Imperial Horse is still available to you if you purchased the Imperial Edition.

    It is just located in a new place.


    You now have a collections area where pets, mounts, costumes etc. are stored so they do not take up inventory space.

    Press U. For the horse click on the Mounts tab. Right click on the Imperial horse and select Set Active, this will place a check mark on it to show it is the active mount.

    Close the window (Alt).

    Press H and enjoy.

    Are people not getting what we are saying or what?

    If imperial edition owners can no longer BUY A MOUNT FOR 1 GOLD.

    Then that completely screws imperial edition owners over since now they will have to pay full price in gold for a mount when creating new characters?

    OR is it just a case of we now have a free mount for no cost at all?

    The Imperial horse will go directly into your collections UI. No in-game purchase necessary. Just like when you buy a pet or mount from the Crown Store is goes directly into your collections UI.

    See now it makes sense...

    So the answer is instead of paying 1 gold for a horse imperial edition owners now have free mounts at no gold cost at all.

    I think imperial edition owners just got a boost, before the imperial horse cost 1 gold and was not as good as the other higher end/cost horses, now they are the same as all other mounts and are free with no gold cost lol

    I don't think you understand what others have already said. Imperial Owners get the mount and don't spend the 1 gold. They get the mount. They are not screwed out of the mount.

    Test it. Make a new character, check your collections, grab your mount.
