    The only thing about the stick mounts that I was not expecting was that the character carried the stick while sprinting, rather than trying to "ride" it. Otherwise, it is exactly what I was expecting it to be.

    Bottom line is that it is a brilliant and fun addition to the Festival. Well done! Hoping already that there is a new one for next year.

    I don’t know if this has been specified or not, so just a heads up about these in case it hasn’t. They are not real mounts. You equip it as a mount, but you don’t have any mount speed or anything, your just walking and sprinting normally as if your not on a mount, except with a funny looking stick between your legs, when you sprint, your character doesn’t even use it, it carries it over its shoulder and runs.
    So if you buy this expecting it to function like a proper mount, you’ll be mistaken.

    Yeah its definitely not a proper mount. But I think it would have been silly for it to have actually been a proper mount.

    Great, isn't it?

    I don't care what anyone says. This mount was worth it. Going to love being a clown for the next year.

    My in-game shows are already getting people watching. :)

    I expected that much. Like the buckets and brooms a couple years ago were legendary quality, but level 1. But they were also 50 crowns.

    350 gems is what, $120?

    I'll still get a 900 crown one though and ride into Cyrodiil, as soon as I have enough pies.

    Gems don't cleanly convert to a dollar value. In my experience, pulling down 350 should run you closer to $60 - $80, but if you're not lucky, yeah, you could easily spend over $100 chasing it.

    If the stick mount would have the speed of a real mount, then it would be OP in Cyrodill. Think about it: the smaller is your mount the easier it is to hide yourself behind some natural cover.

    These items are meant to be silly, they're labeled to show that they're not going to have mount speed, and in a "pay to lose" category like the broom and bucket. I don't understand all the complaining. They're for fun.

    I'm personally not planning on getting any of them. I have to admit listening to my uxith-beeko running around with the guar one making guar noises, is super cute.

    I use the stick horse mount exclusively in Cyrodiil. Best purchase ever. 10/10
