How many 4k Crown Mounts have there been?

Blinx

I'm going on 2 years and this indrik is the first time I seen this price, have there been other mounts this expensive? or is the first one with more to follow?

Great dark stag was 4k crowns

Lady_Galadhiel

Only one I could think of was the Great Dark Stag for 4k which for me is it worth it,but the Indrik is not.

thanks, I just looked it up, so it only appears in the store friday the 13th lol, at least it's a unique looking stag, not that I would consider spending the crowns on it tho

4,000 crowns mounts should be these (I think):
- Hearthfire Kagouti
- Great Dark Stag
- Chroma-Blue Dwarven Spider
- Kynbound Senche-Panther
- Meridian Sabre Cat
- Dro-m'Athra Senche
- Dremnaken Wrathsteed

So seven

The original Great Elk was and still is the most expensive at 4,500 Crowns.

It's also the first and I think only mount where alternate versions cost less than the original. The dark stag is 4,000 crowns, the ghost elk was even cheaper at 3,000 crowns (and still I regret buying it, because the ghost indrik was free in-game not long after), then there's the one which comes with 3,000 crowns and costs only slightly more than buying 3,000 crowns on their own.

If I remember correctly prices for new mount types had been gradually going up before that one was released. I suspect they discovered 4,500 was more than the majority of players were willing to pay and that became the upper limit. Although the introduction of crown crates (where on average players end up spending even more to get the rare mounts) may also have been a factor.

*when you think 4k crown mount is expensive and then realize how much a radiant apex mount will cost you*

I would have liked that mount if it looked more like the promotional render, but under most lighting conditions I’ve seen it in it looks flat to me so I passed on it. 4k is more than I was hoping the Evergloam Indrik would be but I’m glad it’s available for Crowns and not Gems and to me it is beautiful.

I think it's kind of a jerk move to create a new Indrik mount which is only available for 4000 crowns when the rest of them were available via events (you know, gameplay, which is what other 'free-to-play' games are known for). It is cashing in on the collector mindset really. The only good thing about it is that it is not in Gamble crates (yet), but it is still kind of a scummy practice.

At this point, such a behaviour doesn't surprise me. Actually, I think we should expect more of this in the future.

I was appalled to see a 2500 crown mount in the store when i first started playing.


They've just seriously been way too greedy with the prices of everything in their store. I'm legitimately surprised they didn't carry over the $25 dollar horse armor, it's just that much of a joke.


If they ever get group mounts going, i can easily see them trying to charge 4k or 5k regularly for that. Just look at what they're doing with houses. NOTHING in this game, no single one item, should cost more than the base game itself. Not for virtual items.

Thats peanuts comparing to the gambling boxes.

I remember grumbling when the Frost Mare was first announced, and forking out 3,000 crowns was madness.

How far we have fallen.

I was thinking Dro-m'Athra Senche was 4500.

Is there ANY benefit to these purchased mounts? Speed/space/stamina?

You get to look cool

whitecrow

Are you sure about the Kynbound and Dro'mathra senche? I have both and can't imagine I spent that much...

Edit: It's possible I got the latter on sale, as it had been around a long time before I bought it.

DigiAngel

And by cool you mean, I spent $25 on this...gotcha

The only way this collector would pay for an indrik is if the matching pet were also available.

I bought the Great Dark Stag when it was available last and have been riding it ever since. I also bought this new Indrik and I've come to realize, I don't love it. I'm glad I have it I guess. I still think it looks neat but I'll go back to riding the Stag I think. I have the Indrik as a lawn ornament now at my house.
