Question about mounts and new riding skill

MisterBigglesworth · January 2015

Will the riding skill be account based or only character based?

If I have a maxed Carrying horse on one character, and a maxed Speed horse on another character, will those passives be combined and available to all my characters?

I'd like to know the answer to this question myself....

We found out during their Reddit AUA: riding skill will be character based.

Character
Character based from the mouth of the devs. You can search for the whole thread or read the reddit or watch the video. Its there.
So to be ready, each of my characters is leveling another 1 gold horse for stamina, another for capacity or if need be speed.
*Your skins for horses are account wide.
*You can still feed your horses one helping in v1.6 but only one helping to one stat. Now you can do 3 helpings (one on each horse) that will combine for your new riding skill. Do it now!
* Eventually you can unlock " grooming" skill which will enable 2 helpings.
* Best evidences show the skill for horses stats will now go to 60 to make up for the higher purchased horses 10 extra stats.

Hope that helps.

[Editing to add ]p.s. As in Skyrim the skill points will be spent per character. Each character uniquely develops their skill lines one of which is horses "Riding Skill". There is also a skill called WarHorse that seems to be available in three different trees from the screenshots what this is I can't say until I'm on PTS tomorrow.

Same here. BTW, leveling 24 Imperial horses runs approx 300k gold... but luckily that's spread out over a couple months.

I don't understand. Why would anyone level more than 1 of each type of max-stat horse? My understanding was that horses were now going to reflect the cumulative max-states of all your pre-1.6 horses.

So, if you have 50 stamina on 1 horse and 50 speed on a second horse, all your new post-1.6 horses would have 50 points in BOTH speed and stamina automatically.

3 horses per character for a max of 8 characters is 24 horses

Its not ALL your post v1.6 horses. Each characters has his/ her own riding skill based on that particular characters highest horse ability. Thus why one would level another horse in a completely different stat. If a person is happy with the one or two present horses skills (for that toon) being used to determine Riding Skill for that toon then don't level another horse.

P.s. for economies sake a user may want to just put 25 stamina/25 speed on a horse if you've got a carrying horse already. And its 250g per point now. So 49 x 250g. So 12,250g to level a horse. Over the course of 49 days.

Yeah, I have a speed horse, a bag horse, and a hybrid...

Guess the 'Prius' just gets absorbed.

...and because less knock-off is more-gooder.

(Everyone will end up with maxed out horse across the board, so it's semi pointless.)

I just bought 3 imperial horses for each character, named them speed, carry, and stamina, and started leveling them all up at the same time. Should easily be ready for 1.6.

Is this maxed out attribute ability limited only to those who max them out pre 1.6? Or will it still be possible for us poor people post 1.6?
