So, I have two mounts: cheap horse and inventory horse. When I swap to the inventory horse, it doesnt change my inventory, and only the stats of the old horse remain. Is this a technical error (as usually seems to be the case) or am I missing something? I play on xbox one. Thanks in advance for your help.
If you bought one of the more expensive mounts from the stable thinking it would have higher stats, they changed that. Now you level up your riding stats on each character, instead of each mount. Now, if you buy the more expensive stable mounts, it's just for the different skins.
The mounts used to have different stats. This changed when they totally revamped the mount system for the crown store (which happened well before the console release), so that all mounts are now cosmetic, and the "stats" are attached to the characters, not the mounts.
True, they didn't actually change the text on the stables where you buy the mounts. I agree, they should have. Why didn't they? Who knows. ZOS laziness, etc.
Sorry that this bit you. I totally understand your frustration.
