For speed, which mount should I buy? (Or does it matter?)

Rais3dByWolv3s
New player. Just starting. Level 9 Sorcerer. Great game. Love it so far.

One problem: tired of running everywhere.

It feels kind of like cheating, but I'm thinking about just buying a Crown Store mount.

There are several available. However, the store doesn't list their stats.

Are some faster than others?

Is the 2500-Crown "Nightmare Courser" faster or better in some way than the 900-Crown "Palomino Horse?"

Or all the same speed & price difference is just because of aesthetics?

And help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    No matter, now all mounts are just skins. You train your riding skills in stables and they are for any mount you will equip.

    Alright, but what's confusing me is this guy seems to be saying different horses have different stats...

    At 42,700 gold you can purchase a specialty horse:

    Light - Speed
    Gaited - Stamina
    Draft - Carrying Capacity

    As they level up, they will have more of the primary stat that is affiliated with them.

    Is he mistaken, or is that info outdated?

    The info is outdated. It *used* to be that mounts came with different stats that could be increased per mount, but that has been changed into an overall "riding skill" that affects all mounts equally, and they all start out with the same stats. There are no more "light", "gaited" and "draft" mounts.
