Difference between Common horse and 42.7k horses?

LegendaryPow
Hey! I'm considering buying one but is it worth it, I have a 27,20,10 common horse, so if I buy a 42.7k horse will it be a waste of gold?

    It has higher attributes at the beginning so you can.level them higher in speed etc.

    You also get the pleasure of riding around on a "Cadillac" as you pass by "Civics". ^_^

    Yes, basically the 42K horses have 10 more point in one of their attribute.

    So it's like they have 10 level more than the common horse granted (since one level equal one point for a horse).

    So if I have 15 speed common horse and 15 speed other horse they'll still run the same speed?

    The base horse and imperial horse have 15 speed, 10 stamina, 0 carrying.

    Each of the 42K horses is 10 better in 1 stat. Ie..

    25 speed, 10 stamina, 0 carry
    15 speed, 20 stamina, 0 carry
    15 speed, 10 stamina, 10 carry.

    Given that a horse has 50 levels it can be improved the 42 K horses will all wind up 10 Points better than the base horse and the imperial horse.

    @Hodorius‌ I think you need to rethink the Caddies of today.

    http://www.cadillac.com/

    Horse stats don't really matter, so long as you raise it up. If you get the Palomino, Imperial or even the basic horse you will only down 10 points of whatever stat you really wanted.

    That said... Stamina is STILL bugged, so most people wont care about it at all since the horse can sprint forever.

    So if you want a horse, get what looks good. For me, I always bet on black!

    If you put all points into speed:
    An imperial will have +65% speed
    A 43k horse will have +75% speed

    So I figure thats about 6% faster

    A bit off topic but it is in connection with horses: is it just me or are the horses (at least my imperial one) a tiny bit faster since patch?
