Second horse.

mikwin · July 2015

So i just bought a second horse on my main and for some reason it has the stats of my first horse that i upgraded, i was gonna max a horse with speed and 1 for capacity. How do i do this?

You don't. Horses don't have individual stats any more - instead characters have riding skill. You upgrade the riding skill of your character, which then applies to any mount your character rides, rather than the individual stats of the horse. So just keep upgrading your riding skill at the stables for more carrying capacity and you'll eventually have max speed and capacity regardless of what mount you use.

Mounts are now Skins, not individual animals.

Your Character is what learns the Riding Skills and those skills apply to each mount.

So, basically, you go to the Stable each day and buy a lesson. Or use the Crown Store potions to get 10 lessons.

Wait so i can max out capacity and speed? I thought you had 60 points to use on a horse?

Nope, you can max out all three areas.

On the plus side, once you buy a horse, all your alts also get the horse. Mounts are now account wide and nor character specific.

That's how it worked before 1.6 dropped. Now you can max out capacity, speed, and stamina on your riding skill so that you're at 60/60/60. Most people (myself included) focus on speed & capacity first, but once you've got those 2 maxed out it's totally worth it to work on the stamina too. I can't count the number of times having stamina maxed out has allowed me to keep galloping away while being attacked (this is how I get through open enemy gates in Cyrodiil to collect the skyshards on the other side - I just gallop right through, ignoring the attacks from all of the guards, and keep going until I'm out of range and not being attacked anymore).
