Fast mount

Siren896 · January 2016

Hi, I'm new to eso and do not have a subscription. What is the fastest mount I can get, where can I buy him and how much do I need to save to buy him. Thanks, my wood elf legs are getting tired

All mounts have the same base speed, they are basically skins. You have to upgrade the speed on the stablemaster to make it faster.

Yes you must choose to train your riding skills each day. Go to the stable and select speed upgrade. 20 hours later you can do it again

All your mounts will be based on this for that character. They will all be the same speed.

I had heard rumor that one mount is 10% faster. That is not true? Thanks guys!

It's not true.

It used to be like that when the game first came out but it has been changed a while ago. All mounts are the same speed now.

The running joke from my girlfriend when I am playing ESO is that I am feeding my horse. At one point, I was feeding horses on 7 toons. Haha. It takes about 6 months to fully level a mount if you do it every day. You can also do it via the crown store. If you have any desire to play alts, you could start now. I would honestly split between speed and stamina at the beginning until you have about 20 into each (or maybe 2:1 speed to stamina). Then max out speed, followed by stamina, followed by bags (there are other ways to get bag space). Speed is great and all but without stamina, you will get knocked off your horse by just about anything. If you make an alt, you could start with bag space to increase your inventory a bit.

Until you get your horse to Speed of 20 or so, its almost not worth riding them.

Okay, thank you!

^^^^ +1 to this. I have several low level alts with high riding skills. When I get around to them, they will be Cyrodiil ready. In the meantime, they make good cheap mules at a cost of only 250g. I usually alternate between bags and speed, and do stamina last, as opposed to Bearclaw, but nothing wrong with his argument.
