Dearest Plague Husk Horse

Dearest Plague Husk Horse,

I write to you today upon the 28th of Hearthfire, because I, your old friend, have sought to summon you with the aid of the Trickster Pacrooti.

When I first arrived to gaze upon the gathering of crates, I could but only stand stunned, for it reached to the very top of the mightest of castles. Stacked upon one another in bundles, there was no fewer than one-hundred and twenty of the Tricksters crates. But the sheer size of the task nor the economic depression my vaults faced was no challenge, as long as I held you, my dearest Plague Husk Horse, within my sight.

I stormed and scourged through each and every chest, and within I found much, everything from Crows to Masks of hollow natures and inkworks that would appear beautiful on that of a mortal vessel. I too, saw that even the madgod himself attempted his tricks upon me, for I found his old and dirtied rags amongst the rest of Pacrooti's left overs.

Twice, I was faced with the wrath of Cinder Wolves, whom after I disturbed their rests, angrily tried to claim my life. But how could they? For my dreams of you, my dearest Plague Husk Horse, kept me upright, and ready to face all challenges ahead.

But... my dearest Plague Husk Horse, now I stand here, defeated in the holy city of Mournhold itself, with a carriage filled with one-thousand, five-hundred and sixty-five peculiar gems, but... I do not see you, and I cannot claim you.

Where are you, my dearest Plague Husk Horse?

    If there was any NPC I wish was killable in the game at the moment, it would with a clear certainty, be Pacrooti.

    And yeah... I won't be needing gems anytime soon, I just wish I could throw them all away to receive that Plague Husk Horse.

    Hope you knew the weighted chance before you done this, as detailed by CrownCrateLogger.


    At the minute the stats look like

    Running tally from the Add-On that was created to show the drop rates since ZOS refuses to show them has all Apex mounts running at a 1.4% chance to drop and that specific mount at 0.13%. Keep in mind, there is RNG and then there is weighted RNG. These have to be so heavily weighted to not show up, no way this is just random. This puts RNG with a side of RNG. That is some RNG right there.

    Yes I tried the same last crown crates after $1k usd I gave up myself never to get the mount I wanted.

    I won't be trying bc there is no way to get it. Pure RNG mounts that everyone wants but can't buy with gems is not right.

    It's why I'm skipping these crown crates I used gems from last ones to buy the normal skeleton horse and the BA motif.

    I'm sorry for ur lost this sucks

    As much as I would love to have the super special Senche mount, my limit was 45 crates. I did not get the mount I wanted, but I did get a super special mount. After opening all crates, trading in what I could that I would never use, and buying a few things I still wanted, I'm still sitting on almost 300 gems. The only thing I am missing is that super special senche mount, and I will just have to continue to live without it haha, because I think I used up all my RNG for the year getting the one special mount I did get. And 45 crates was more than enough chances at getting it.

    FYI - Mounted Plague Horse looks nothing like the preview. It loses nearly all of the effects you see during preview. Buyer beware.

    Short answer is DKs likely won't be seeing a ton of changes before we go live; this class is still quite powerful (as it should be being a tank), even after some of the adjustments we've made to other classes and abilities.

    That's fine. But there are people out there who want the animations. It has no animations when actually mounted.

    Are you certain? Because when I saw others ride around upon the dearest of Plague Husk Horses, it appeared to be showing its full effect.

    Lest so it did on my screen.

    Yeah, the effects it has when previewed or placed as a furnishing aren't present when you mount it. There's another thread on this page about it.

    If you turn off the mount upgrades, the animations appear. Still a bug they should fix though.

    dont buy another crate,had the same experience with all previous CC seasons
    and during the Dwarven crates ended with a gazzilon of gems
    last crate i opened had the vitrine wolf but imo it does not worth the money i spend
    above all this i feel very bad to ride apex mounts while all others are on horses,it just dont feel right

    Yea these “business practices” are getting pretty scummy. I’ve stood by ZOS through most of their unpopular decisions because I genuinely believed they had the game’s best interest at heart but they are getting blatantly cash grabby. I’m glad they have stayed away from P2W for the most part but these continued bad decisions are almost just as bad. Please course correct before it’s too late. Such a nice fun game but you’re running people off with all these cosmetics being locked behind a paywall with so little being actually obtainable in game.

    It must REALLY suck if you REALLY want one of the rare rare mounts, you might get lucky or you might go bankrupt trying... I am dreading a season of crates where there is a mount I am desperate to get hold of.

    For my personal tastes this season of crates is the worst so far, but like I say, it is just my tastes, I find nearly everything very very boring this season but I know ALOT of people will find the contents very appealing.

    I kinda lucked out with my free crates by getting a skeletal wolf, which unfortunately probably will never use because I think it is uggggllllyyyy!! I also got two of the lip stains.

    Anyhoo, I always allow myself one batch of 15 crates per season, so I went ahead with that and got another tint.

    Then with my accumulated crown gems I got the Kagooi mount that I missed out on first time around, the fourth lip stain and I thought the crow thing was kinda cute because it reminds me of my crow that I nursed back to health before releasing back to wilds.

    I think I went on a bit of a tangent there, haha, anyways.... TLDR: Good luck to those of you trying for the rare rare mounts.
