You gain increased carrying capacity only from your active horse.Īll horses have a total of 49 points you can distribute to either of these three stats, which is added to their base stats.

Not only is it convenient, but increased bag space is very helpful to have when adventuring considering how many different crafting materials and items you come across.

Stamina: stamina determines how long your horse can gallop (sprint) and how much damage you can take while riding one without being dismounted.Ĭarrying Capacity: horses don’t have an inventory of their own, instead their carrying capacity is simply added to your own character inventory. Don’t forget, feeding your horse costs gold (explained below), so it can be a smart decision to save enough gold to simply purchase a Light horse first. The other mounts are unfortunately more expensive and you will have to save even longer for one, but it might be worthwhile in the end. Many players recommend not buying the Common Horse at all since it has only 10% increased speed, so you may want to think purchasing a Light Horse right off the bat. Speed: increased speed is self-explanatory: higher movement speed on a horse means it gets you places faster. Other mounts are fairly expensive for new players, as even 17,200 gold required for the cheapest Common Horse can take time to accumulate. Imperial Horse can only be bought by players who pre-ordered the Imperial edition of the game through the official site or various retailers.
