Horses, are the $42,700 horse worth it?


If I had to do it all over again, I'd say if you have Imperial Edition - its a no brainer.  Just get the 1 gold horse, don't even bother with the common horse because its just a different color.  Functionally the same.

Where it gets tricky is the other horses.  If you are going to maximize your investment, you'll want the one that you want to focus on and feed it that particular trait every 20 hours or so.  You can upgrade the stamina, speed, or carrying capacity with a 250 gold piece payment to the stable - its 1 percent per or 1 slot per 250 gold.  Don't forget to feed your horse every 20 hours so you can upgrade your horsey level.  (And no... your horse will not die if you forget to feed them.  But its a bit cruel.)

Like most crafters, carrying capacity is very important.  I'd say you'd be wasting money if you get a draft horse (starts with +10 carrying capacity) and feed it anything but oats for a while.

As for me?  I'm saving up my cash for the light horse - I want the speed in getting place to place in Cyrodiil.  And yes, you can have multiple horses, but only can 'mount' one at a time.  Stable space is cheap till you want the third stable spot at 1000 gold.

Before I finish this quick article, one of the FAQ questions newbies ask is - how do I access the extra bag space on my horse?  Well if you have those slots, they just get added to your inventory automatically.  Its as if you are adding slots on your bag.

If you are a pack rat, and feed your horse oats you'll end up with bags hanging off the side of your horse.
