Thanks. Makes me sad. I'd love to buy one with endeavors!

All of the Nightfall radiants are very well done, I have the cursebound sabre cat prowler and love it! But I would also like the senche-raht darkfang or the lichsteed.

The Scalecaller crates are also very nice, I like the dragonfire wolf and shadow-rider senche especially.

I got one of the radiants from the Dragonscale crates, the storm wolf, and I like it especially. It's perfect for my necromancer whose a dragonslayer since it's ghostly, matches the aesthetic of magcro related abilities, and has dark bone armor that is very pleasant as well as horns when fully upgraded.



The sanguvorian howler is also very unique with the swarm of bats that spawn when it's summoned or howls.

I like most of my mounts to like they belong to the world of Tamriel so most apex mounts are already too over-the-top for my taste but sometimes I make exceptions. I was considering a more statement mount for a vampire character and the Sanguivorian Howler had caught my eye and being summoned with bats is cool but the lingering smoke or whatever and especially the weird red effect while running ruin it for me so I’ll go for the “regular” New Moon Wolf instead.

Shadow Rider Senche is on my all time wish list. The red streamers on it mixed with its intense glowly red eyes sets it apart from so many imo. The Green-Ghat Ghost Cat is also a very close second on my list!

For now, my best radiant I think is pretty snazzy looking is the new celestial ram. I got lucky and it popped up in a 4x crate purchase a few weeks ago. I've acquired 2 others since the gems option has been there but before that the only one I had organically acquired aside from the ram was the frost draugr senche years back.

I usually use my dwarven ebon wolf mount I tirelessly worked towards usually though.

The Potentate Aphotic Wolf is my favorite (I love the sound it makes when mounting), got very lucky and had it drop from me. I'm saving my endeavors in hopes they bring back the Dragonfire Wolf or Ram of Dark Delights (though it's probably gonna be a long time waiting lol).

My favorite will be the one they take down just one or two weeks prior to me having the necessary points to buy it. They've already done that to me twice now.

This thread is whale-bait.
Just kidding, but there are a few whales to spot here with an insane number of radiant apexes. It's almost scary to think how many crates that must have taken, I am just a bit curious to be honest

I have never taken a fancy to the radiant mounts. I also think they are too much, and prefer mounts with fewer light effects. So the ram of dark delights is the only radiant one I ever thought was neat-looking.

So some of us are gettin close to 16k endeavors. Im sure some poeple have been saving them for a radiant apex mount and there are my questions:
What radiant apex mount is your favourite and why?
Which one has the best visuals in your opinion?
Edit: You can choose from all the radiant apex mounts, not only from the ones that are available now

None....It is just a skin and well I use my endeavor awards for things I do like, such as motifs.

where are the guar radiant apex?

colossalvoids

Looking up those I'd probably be waiting for Scalecaller crates to come back, some of those are most fitting my main characters theme and feel being dragonfire wolf, shadow rider senche and galvanic storm steed. Also potentates aphotic wolf is pretty fitting one alongside with purple nocturnal themed one the name of which I can't really remember, something probably having to do with umbra meaning shadow.

This whole thread seems to be the latest version of "where's waldo"...

Except here it is "spot the whale"!

Necrotech_Master

the only radiant apex i would have any interest in is this one, the ebony dwarven spider, which of course comes from the bandaari crates

i personally have never gotten a radiant apex, but i also seldomly get any crown crates (especially after they stopped giving us regular free ones from login rewards)

that is the only radiant apex i would be interested, once i get over 16k seals, i will probably spend them on other things, but have enough to get the mount i want lol

ZOS please give us the radiant guars

All guar are radiant, in my eyes.

Guar is love. Love is guar.

On console my favourite mount was the Psijic Senche, which I got from cashing in a Resplendent Sweetroll. Since moving to PC I have missed that mount, but when endeavours were announced I was hopeful I would have enough to buy the Senche when the crates returned. Which I believe I will

Sadly I won't have enough seals to buy it when it comes back later this month, so I'll probably be waiting about a year to get it (if I have enough seals then, if other things I want come back first I'll get those instead).

I expected to like the opaline steed from the frost atronach crates too, but I was disappointed with how it looks in-game.

I just looked at some pics of the psijic purple steed - that it is nice - didn't know it was coming out this month - good you mentioned it

The Baandari Guar is the best one imo. Kind of sucks that Morrowind didn't really get its own crown crates - hopefully we'll get more Dunmer-themed content down the line.

As for Radiant Apex, I agree that most of them are just too flashy. Plus I hate pretty much all mounts except horses, guars and camels. The Cursebound Lichsteed and the Lambent Shadowmere Courser are kinda alright, I guess.

But what I really want is just a plain normal Welwa.

vesselwiththepestle

I need a radiant apex camel. Sadly there hasn't been any good one yet and camels don't get much love in general.

I'm still feeling so salty that the datamined welwa mount model we got did not first appear as a normal looking one! Instead we got another remodel of the awful senche-raht model that is some lizard hybrid welwa, and daedric lizard-welwa.

Give us a normal, furred welwa (that does not use the senche-raht model). ...and echatere.I want an echatere mount.

Getting mounts without effects and just interesting and unique tack like the Baandari ones that are themed to race/provinces would be nice too. Guars with Great House themes. Something like this:

A lot of that is part of the rider, but I'm sure people can get the idea. Things like nice tack with dunmer styled fabric with the House, Tribunal symbols etc. Maybe an Ashlander themed one too.
Guars with argonian themed tack.

Same goes for other mount types. Although, I'd prefer they weren't apex mounts.

I really agree with you @NotaDaedraWorshipper - it would be great with mounts with more culture themes, instead of just new effects and extreme magic

Zenimax might underestimate this one here, a lot of radiants and apex can be stripped of VFX and still be awesome and adding actual cultural thematic things might turn out as good as just cheap "make it shinier it was the last time" approach if done tastefully. Both should exist though.

Wolfkeks

Silver Nimbus Wolf, almost have my 16k seals ready and now must simply wait

I like the glow effect a lot, especially when I see people riding on this mount in the dark!

This is the kind of thing I'm looking for too. The Baandari and Frostbane ones are the best so far imo for this reason. The celestial mounts for example would be vastly improved if they only had the unique tack instead of the body paint.

Yup. The body paint reminds me of those craft videos I used to see years ago when people painted space/galaxy stuff on almost everything. Would've been prettier without it.
