Maxed riding skill

ZigoSid · April 2015

Did anyone reached it ? Still add some visuals ? How is it on guar and Senche ?

THANK YOU

I didn't reach it yet with any of my characters, but after seeing the armor on one of my characters' mounts, I wish I could disable it.

I would love to be able to disable the saddle bags on the horse. Those are totally ugly. The bags on the tiger mounts look much better.

Im 10 pts in carrying capacity to have max riding skills. No visual so far. (other then the armor and saddlebags etc)

I'm almost inclined to just keep my mount at 120 in speed and stamina combined... and just try survive only with maxed out inventory and 0 horse bag space

My main reached max a couple week ago. As soon as I heard about the riding skill changes on the PTS on 1.6 I started training up all my toon's riding skills, and my other 3 alts are closing in on max, too. My 3 mules are maxed for capacity.

I only use horses, as I PvP.

The weird thing is at the end of all those visits to the stablemaster, there was still a 20 hour countdown. At the end I still have the little circle-arrow icon on my C screen but once it was up the next day, but the stablemaster offered no further upgrades past 60/60/60. It remains a little circle-arrow icon to this day.

Ok so, is there any visual change like on level 50 horses before 1.6 ? You know that thing under the saddle, I don't know the name ^^'

I heard reports of the saddle blanket missing now, not sure if I was an intended change or not. (The saddle blanket would show your faction) In order to see all the other accessories you actually just need to put 20 points into each stat, you don't have to max it out.

[EDIT] Found a thread with a maxxed out horse, although this was when the bug existed that caused only 2/3 accessories to show, it has since been fixed. They do discuss the missing blanket though

I have one alt that is 20 points away from maxing Stamina. All of my 4 mains and two mules have maxed, or near maxed bag space. Those characters have riding skills at least in the 30's, other than one who is at 60 for speed.

I will say that once you get a horse to Speed of 40, for PvE, (non trials) the horse is more than fast enough. Heck, even at 30 the horse is fast enough.

I have also noticed that my Stamina bar barely goes down on the one character that I have that skill at 40, so perhaps Stamina does have some value. I have not been unhorsed by a mob on that character in since 1.6 hit. Not sure how it would be in PvP.

I don't know about the blanket, but I remember people talking about it. So I took a picture. Let me know what you think.

My new level 31 NB likes the horsey

No more blanket :'(

Why do you only use horses in PvP?

Someone said something about only horses having infinite gallop. Granted, with 60 stamina and speed one tends not to run out anyways (as you have to stop sprinting momentarily to recast Rapid) I don't often run out, but I don't like the idea of slowing down the trip. I also use Wykkyds to swap in 3 pieces of Cyrodiil's Ward for the +15% mounted speed bonus for any long rides.

It's not true - all mounts have unlimited sprinting. Back before the 1.6 mount system, ZOS had said that the unlimited sprint was a special ability of horses, and that in the future mounts of different types would have different special abilities instead of the unlimited sprint. At some time between when they said that and when the new mount system came out, they appear to have changed their mind, as all mounts have unlimited sprint. I suspect they did this because of the addition of the different mount types in the Crown Store in order to ensure that the mounts available for purchase with cash were just cosmetic items rather than pay to win items.

runagate · April 2015

Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten that. Thanks. I guess I don't much care for the current mounts, as one of those Ghost Rider ones burnt up my poor little bosmer.

I wish max level riding skill gave you a jumping boost. I love jumping on things.
