Is it worth buying 42k horse or just the normal (10k)?
Im lv30~ish and at the moment I have 26k and I really wish i had a horse already... but I can't see that there is any differences between the horses in this game.
is the 10k horse is the same as the others? I don't want to waste those 10k only for a temp horse...

✭All mounts have the same stats per character. So the Crown store mounts and in-game mounts all have the exact same stats. It's just a style preference.3 -
nastuug✭✭✭✭✭
✭Additionally, they are all permanent. No temp/limited duration mounts exist in the game.2 -
The_Sadist✭✭✭✭✭As Nastuug said, the horses themselves are simply skins, get the cheap one and start training it. If you make enough gold to buy another horse you can apply that horse's design onto your current mount sort of thing.

✭✭✭✭✭The only differences between any of the different mounts is cosmetic. If you're fine with the way the 10K gold horse looks, just get that one rather than spending more gold on a different one at the stables, or spending real money (Crowns) on a different one on the Crown Store.

✭Aye. You can go to the little horse head icon shown on the maps while in cities. You can train one stat per day: Speed, Storage, or Stamina.
Pro-tip: Go for speed unless you absolutely need more storage. Mounts have unlimited sprint, so the additional stamina is just needed to get knocked off the mount less often.1 -
If I'll have the 10k horse and want to buy the 42k later on, will the skills (speed/etc) that I got on the first horse will be applied on the second one too? or I will have to train him again0

✭Yes. When you train mount stats, they affect all mounts used from the Collections tab on a single character.
So when you buy any future neato Crown Store mounts in future, it will affect those on that character as well.Edited by nastuug on June 12, 2015 4:41PM1 -

The skills transfer between skins, so if you completely max out a mount and change the skin (e.g. buy the 42k mount and 'equip' it) that mount will retain the previous mount's stats."Each event is preceded by Prophecy.

You train yourself, not the mount.So, what you have learnt, you can use on any horse.Edited by Awe on June 12, 2015 4:43PM1 -
Rook_Master✭✭✭✭✭You'd think they would have priced the horses at a reasonable amount after the change in 1.6, to not confuse new players, but I guess that's just expecting way too much, right?4 -

Horses are one of the few decent gold sinks in ESO and as such probably shouldn't be changed. Given the skins themselves are account wide and are permanent, I have no real complaints regarding the initial costs.Edited by The_Sadist on June 12, 2015 4:50PM"Each event is preceded by Prophecy.

It's not a gold sink when you can skip it and buy one cheap w/ Crowns from a single month's subscription.0 -

I'm sorry, for MOST people who don't want to waste a crazy amount of real life money it is a gold sink.Edited by The_Sadist on June 12, 2015 4:56PM"Each event is preceded by Prophecy. But without the hero, there is no Event." ― Zurin Arctus, the Underking.Tragrim - How do I work this thing?

The reward for 'sinking' your gold used to be that you would get an extra +10 to one stat on that horse.
Now that that's gone, it still has the same cost without the benefit.
That's rather silly when you think about it.2 -

I remember reading somewhere that one of the 42k horses did have +10 storage, and another had +10 speed, did they change that and no one updated the wiki's?0

They did. They lowered the base horse from 17k to 10k. Very easy to reach for a new player.Rook_Master wrote: »You'd think they would have priced the horses at a reasonable amount after the change in 1.6, to not confuse new players, but I guess that's just expecting way too much, right?
They are also account wide, so you don't need to buy them for every character. So instead of buying one per character and training only that horse for one specific task, you have a buy-one-time skin with a distributed cost of 5-6k per character. That's pretty cheap.

1. The standard horse had it's cost reduced by 7k gold.
2. The other horses had NO CHANGE in cost.
How do you explain that? If anything, it should cost more, since it is now 'on par' with the other horses, and players don't need to worry about base stats.
The standard horse was 17k originally, because it had the lowest base stats. Now it's worth less simply because Zenimax declares that skin to be the crappiest via the price they set.0 -
so if i'll buy the 10k horse I will have it on ALL my char? (not buying a horse from the crown shop)driosketch wrote: »
