Your favorite Radiant Apex in the game.

Primordialaeon · February 2024

I'm doing something a little different this time. I'm asking people what's your favorite radiant apex mount in the game that you have or wanting to get. it can be multiple radiant apex mounts if you want.

Mine will be the Cursebound Senche-raht Darkfang mount from the Nightfall crate. I'm currently trying to get it with seals of endeavors.

Primordialaeon · February 2024

I simply made this post because I see so many people ride them. so I was just curious what was their favorite radiant apex mount.

Soarora · February 2024

SANGUINE RAM.

AKA the Ram of Dark Delights. Second favorite is Starchaser Senche. I've missed both because of not having enough seals of endeavors.

not sure if there's others.

i love all the Stonelore radiants and wish i had them all.
and the Green Graht Ghost Cat from Psijic Vault crates is pretty, i like its leaf effects.

boi_anachronism_ · February 2024

Sanguivorian Howler and starchaser senche

Zorrin · February 2024

Psijic Spectral Steed is my favorite. I remember seeing it datamined way back when and immediately loving it. Then I happened to pull it from a free crate and it was absolutely magical, like it was meant to be

no need in me ever buying a lottery ticket because all the luck for my existence was used up on that free crate

RetPing · February 2024

IMO radiant apex are almost all horrible, they have turned this game in some flashy korean mmo.
I would be very happy to have to toggle to not see those abominations and to have a little immersion in the game.

Kaelthorn_Nightbloom · February 2024

I have 68 Radiant Apex mounts and my favorite mount is actually the 400 gem Apex tier Iron Atronach Senche which I truly believe is high enough quality to be a 2500 gem Radiant Apex.

Vaqual · February 2024

Tune in next week for more relatable topics, talking about our favorite diseases, favorite war criminals and best tax notification moments.

I once actually got an apex mount from a crate, never used it once. I fully agree with @RetPing.

Ye_Olde_Crowe · February 2024

Sanguine‘s Ram is the one I‘d love to have.

Pixiepumpkin · February 2024

I can't say, 2500 dollars later and I have never had one drop

Araneae6537 · February 2024

Anything that doesn’t summon like a meteor!

I’ve never gotten one, but as for which radiant apex I might want, most are too much FX for my taste (indeed, most apex mounts are too). But there are certain effects that I do like, if ever they were in the right combination: I like the FX on the Glimmerton Ursauk, but I’m not crazy about non-cervines wearing antlers and in any case I would prefer a senche or indrik with this effect.

I rarely buy apex mounts, so a radiant apex for me would have to be perfect to my taste to be worth it!

Primordialaeon · February 2024

heh its nice that this topic has started off good! keep going everyone! and remember there is no debates here. everyone has their likes and dislikes, just keep the dislikes away from this topic and post your favorites here there is nothing to judge.

NotaDaedraWorshipper · February 2024

I don't really like any of them. They are way too flashy for me with weak tacked on lore to back them up. Hence why I don't like many apex ones either.

Think the only one I wouldn't mind to get (But I wouldn't spend endeavors or gems for it), because I don't loathe the look, is Anka-Ra Sandcamel.
I would've been more fine with the Ram of Dark Delights if it was without the black stink cloud.

jlats · February 2024

My absolute favourites that I have are:

Anka-Ra Sand Camel
Cat’o’War Senche Lion
Plagueborn Senche-Panther
Ebon Dwarven Senche

The ones I covet and am saving my seals for:

Silver Nimbus Wolf
Cursebound Senche-Raht Darkfang
Harvestleaf Lynx
Wailing Shackler Wolf

Danikat · February 2024

The only one I like is the Psijic Spectral Steed. It's purple and shiny without being blinding, and the summoning animation isn't excessive. I finally got it using seals the last time the psijic crates came back.

There's a few others which are ok, the Star-Orphan Elk is the only one I can remember right now, but most of them either look a mess or the effects are so excessive I'd never want to summon them.

I kinda find it funny when people hate on the mounts for not being "lore friendly" but forget about the flashy ones from skyrim.

The daedric horse
The unicorn
Arvak
Shadowmere

your going off topic. it has to be radiant apex mounts in Elder scrolls Online

Mogli · February 2024

I shelled out like $300 when Ahz-m'Athra came up and I do not regret. I've always loved the Dro-M'athra style and the senche rat has my favorite mount model in the game, couldn't have been more perfect for my khajiit.

boi_anachronism_ · February 2024

I did reply on topic but there have been replys to that effect. I was simply making an observation.

Shadowmere looks like almost any other horse, with the uniqueness of being black with red eyes. The unicorn, also looks a lot like any other horse but with a horn on its head. Arvak is horse skeleton, and was the first among many very normal looking horses. All of them has lore behind them that you're involved in. You aren't just given them with a little note that says "Here, this exist". I also, never used Arvak, nor the Unicorn (Because I killed it and it's a pain to use as a mount), I prefered the other horses.
Can't say anything about the daedric horse, because that was added long after I played, it's also creation club addition, which is...questionable a lot of times.

ESO on the other hand constantly pour out these mounts in very high amounts, there's more flashy mounts than there is normal looking horses (The most common riding animal in Tamriel, unless you live in Morrowind), and little backs up their existence. There's nothing wrong with the occasional "Arvak", but when they have become more the norm it breaks immersion and doesn't really fit the style consistency of Elder Scrolls.

BulletMagnetX · February 2024

As there continues to be no Radiant Apex bipedal mounts, I will have to say none of them.

Though I do own the Frost Draugr Senche out of a random crate drop, so I guess I'll say that.

I really hope we get some kind of radiant apex kagouti, I feel like they really lend themselves to cool designs. The cinderstone kagouti and fabricant kagouti mounts are my fave bipedals in the game.

Treeshka · February 2024

Shadow-Rider Senche.

It's weird there has been no radiant guar. Guar is love, love is guar.

Honestly, if they would copy the character models of those Korean MMOs I would appreciate it :P

About Radiant Apex Mounts, I think the only one I got myself is the Glimmertarn Ursauk, chosen because the sounds and animations aren't annoying and I like the theme, but I've found out they are not much important - there are a lot of good mounts that are not Radiant and I use them over that one.

I love how fluid felines run, and I like Indriks' aesthetic. The Frost Atronach Senche is one of my favorites. The latest winter crowns Indrik is cool too. I also recently obtained the All-maker Senche Rath with seals, and I'm aiming the Stonelore Lynx (not the Radiant one).
I know the topic is about Radiants but wanted to point out that in my opinion there are regular mounts that have a better appeal.

AScarlato · February 2024

I have Welkyn Born Courser and Varla Born Wolf. Really like both since I was in an Aylied pass though not happy with myself with the disgusting amount they ended up costing.

Most of my characters are too grounded to use sparkley mounts but my Druid would love the Oldfire Elk.

Fischblut · February 2024

My personal favorite mount is Shadow Atronach Senche through all the years

And I have not too small gang to choose from:

Most of old (and most of newer mounts) lost their appeal for me after Seals of Endeavors were introduced to the game, but not this one. No matter his rarity or anything, I love him

He's also probably the most plain-looking of Radiant Apex mounts, even after roaring with shadowy special effect around him:

I love the cool scary voice which Flame/Shadow Atronach senches have, such a beautiful audio designer's job! Without special effects (like explosions or thunder strikes etc) I haven't heard any other mount who can speak as loud as these creatures:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z1b3MUJXrM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=266c1icv63s

He's really master of camouflage in shadows!

I was also waiting to go for Solstheim Shiver Wolf since it was datamined, such a large creepy canine model! It would have been the second Radiant Apex mount where rarity doesn't matter to me.

But his simple animal voice was huge disappointment :'( I really miss times when mounts got nice custom voices.
