Achievement for maxing out riding skills?

Jimbullbee85

It doesn't look like we'll ever see riding skills being account wide but seeing as overall achievements are the same does anyone else think it would be nice for there to be an unlockable achievment for maxing out the riding skills, maybe even a title?

Horsemaster?

Yes, I think it would be nice, if it was limited to horses fully upgraded by in game gold only, no Crown Lessons. Fortunately, I did that on 4 of my first characters. The last 6.......lets say some extra crowns were used.

Then they should also not give the Count, Lord etc achievements to people who purchase manors with crowns imo

I would be for this if you couldn't just max it out via Crowns.

Let's calculate how much I have spent on riding lessons:
5 characters maxed out on all 3: 5 x 180 x 250g = 225k
2 mules maxed on carrying: 2 x 60 x 250g = 30k
1 character nearly done: (60 + 60 + 45) x 250g = 41.25k
2 characters at various stages: (50 + 60 + 21) x 250g = 32.75k

So that's 329,000 gold I have spent (so far) on riding training with 36,000 still to go, more if I purchase any new characters.

While I think I have been very patient and diligent to do all of this without going to the crown store, I don't need a title to make me feel better about it (or to advertise how crazy I am). Besides, as two thirds of these can be purchased in the crown store, any title or achievement would be meaningless as someone with the cash could have it very quickly instead of needing 180 days.

Note: yes I know it would not be 180 days since the lessons are 20 hours apart, but let's not get picky here.

Yeah, I think so too.
I'd vote for...

Acrolas

Barnstable Brown - dye for unlocking all upgrades
Rodeo Red - dye for falling to your death on your mount within 60 seconds of an upgrade

Its not a totally unreasonable thing to ask but If they bring something like this in I don't think they should penalise players who have spent crowns on it in my opinion. Players who spend crowns help to keep the game alive. What about those who have won lessons from the crown crates? Would be difficult to distinguish between the two.

Lovin the pics btw

Its not so much the financial aspect, its the time aspect. I rolled a new character this weekend and was maxed out on the horse in about 30 seconds after landing in the Starter Island. I just think Achievements should be something that took time or effort to do.

They could offer two Tiers, Horse Lord for those who spend the Crowns, and Horse Master for those who spent the Gold. Or something like that.

I'd rather they fixed the riding buga than giving me an award for playing with a timer.

Yeah I can see where you're coming from. Your idea with the tier system sounds like a goodn to me I think both sides would be happy with that.

Where can that even happen?

Daggerfall? Maybe.

Cold Harbour? Can you make it to the other side of the Hollow City and jump off the bridge in 60 seconds?

Maybe Wrothgar, if you get creative, climbing the city.
