You can also buy the Palomino Horse from ESO Store for real money. Anyone who owns the Imperial Edition of Elder Scrolls Online has access to the Imperial Horse for a namely gold fee of 1 gold. Most of the mounts in ESO are obtained from the stablemaster for a price of gold. As far as I know, there are no special mount drops from bosses yet. Comparison of MountsĪt this stage of the game, there’s only a couple of mounts available – the list of mounts is pretty short. Levelling your mount’s carrying capacity attribute allows you to get a lot more bag space, making carrying capacity s very appealing mount attribute.
Anyone who has played the game knows how valuable any extra inventory space is. Your active mount’s carrying capacity is added to your character’s inventory, increasing your max bag space. Surely it is just better to travel faster overall than be able to sprint for a little bit longer? Capacityįor me, Carrying Capacity is the most interesting horse attribute in ESO because it directly affects your character. Even if Zenimax were to fix this, I don’t really see why you would want to choose Stamina over Speed. This is why Stamina is a pretty bad stat for mounts right now. So: Holding down sprint button allows you to sprint indefinitely on your mount, regardless of horse stamina. Currently this is the only good thing Stamina brings to the table, and it can be situationally useful. Stamina also affects how many hits your horse can take until you are forced to dismount. The moment you release the sprint button, the game will register this and understand that your mount actually has no stamina left, and should not be able to sprint. As long as you have any stamina left on your mount, holding down sprint allows you to move at the normal sprint speed, even when your mount’s stamina meter seems empty. Currently there is a bug in game which renders Stamina nearly useless as a mount attribute. Sprinting with your mounts increases their run speed and drains the horse’s stamina. Mounts in ESO have their own Stamina bar. Speed is also a very valuable attribute in Cyrodiil, where distances are huge and you may be forced to spend lots of time travelling between outposts and keeps. An example of such situation would be exploration: hunting for skyshards, world bosses you may have missed and so on. The value of speed increases if you need to travel big distances. Getting from point A to point B quicker is naturally very useful and saves time. The greater the mount’s speed, the faster your horse will move in game. Just click on the icon next to your mount’s name. Renaming your mount also happens at a stablemaster.From then on, mounting up will summon your newly set active mount, and that mount’s attributes will take effect immediately. You can set other mounts active at a stablemaster: just right click on a mount and set it active.The default keybind for mounting up and dismounting is ‘H’.
You can only have one mount active at a time.You have the ability to purchase more stable slots at a stablemaster. First of all, mounts have no level restrictions in ESO.Which mounts are worth aiming for, which ones should you avoid?
This guide focuses on mounts in ESO, and includes an overview of the available mounts in game. Think of it as a levelling system for mounts. What ESO does have, however, is a unique progression system for mounts, which allows the player to level up their mounts and customize them to suit their playstyle & different situations better. At this stage of the game, Elder Scrolls Online does not have a large selection of mounts, nor are they very flashy. To others, mounts are almost like a status symbol. To some, mounts are just a useful way to get from point A to point B in MMOs.
