Cheap mount

If I purchased the 17000g mount am I able to upgrade it in speed, stamina and capacity as I can do for a 42000 mount? I have a 42000g draught horse and I am increasing the capacity each day but I was wondering if I can also do this with the cheaper horse or is that the reason they are cheaper.

    You can level the cheap one, but base stats are lower. This means it doesn't have the same potential as the more expensive horses.

    You can feed it like all other horses for 50 levels.
    The difference is in the beginning stats for the horses.
    If you spent all points in carrying capacity for the horses, the draft horse will have 10 slots extra in the end.

    Common Horse
    Price: 17,200 gold
    Speed: 15%
    Stamina: 10
    Carrying: 0

    Draft Horse
    Price: 42,700 gold
    Speed: 15%
    Stamina: 10
    Carrying: 10

    Sure can. Only one can be active at a time though and your draught horse begins with 10 inventory slots where your normal horse begins at 0.

    As far as I know, every horse is upgradable. Even the 1g Palomino and Imperial horses. They just have different starting values in the three categories speed, capacity, and stamina, resulting in different caps. So if you want to have the fastest horse in game, you'd need to buy the one 42k horse that starts with 25% speed and level it up with apples from there.

    Thanks for that. I can remember reading some advice early which suggested waiting to get the more expensive horse. 10 extra slots for an extra 24000 gold doesn't really seem a good deal though.

    That depends. The later bank upgrades only ever give you 10 slots each, but get much more expensive than 24k gold.

    Wait till 10 inventory or bank slots cost 30k+++, it'll seem like a good deal then.

    DELETED ........... advanced horses have 10 points extra in either speed, capacity or stamina.... that 10 points cost you about 25k gold extra ... about 10x as much as gains feeding any horse. At the end of feeding the advanced horse is going to be 10 better in something.

    ^this

    Once you get passed 150 bank slots, it's 50k per upgrade, so I'd say the horse starts looking better at that point

    Imperial horse is cheapest mount priced with 1 gold, but you will pay with real money :hushed:
    History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.

    becasue apparently that's how they get their jollies or something. and I'm feeling dirty just bumping this thread, but this dude has been at it for a while now and absolutely flooded the forum with 2014 threads. and the best part. the BEST PART is.. his information is not even up to date. the cheapest mount is free. you get a horse just by leveling a character nowadays. (I'm deliberately not counting login rewards)
    dirty worthless casual.

    Why not? is there any rule that you can not post threads from long time ago?

    Nope but it can be really confusing when you read stuff like OP wrote, especially for the newer players.
    I'm done with this game because of ZOS pushing us into Vengeance, because they don't know how to fix Cyrodiil.
