I'm sure the pros around here will get a kick of out of this. For two weeks, I've been trying to save up 10k in gold to buy a mount (horse). I quickly grew tired of running around on foot, so I made this a goal. Well, two weeks later, I finally reached 10k, and purchased a horse.
ESO tells me to choose it in my Collections. So there I go, not only to find the newly purchased horse, but also some "Nix-something-something" mount. I had no idea I had it, nor where I collected it from! Turns out, it came with the Morrowind pack I'd bought over the holidays. I never knew!
So here, I had a mount all along, and wasted 10k. I laughed about it, because hey, it's a learning thing. I thought I would share this here so others wouldn't make the same mistake as me.
Side note: I'd joined a guild via the forums here, and shared this story on Discord as well. Another member of the guild very kindly sent me 10k in the game as "reimbursement"! What a kind gesture!
