should I buy the Arabian horse

[Themightyred92]

as a still new player to online should I buy the Red Chestnut Arabian Horse that is on discount right now or should I save for a better one ?

and what is the difference with the other 2 arabian horses?

[Villain]

you can see their spec in stable before buy them. the one with the best spec cost like 40 gold bars. not worth it unless you're overflowing with gold bars. when you have 40 gold bars, the first thing you should get is outlaw pass. I bought it when I was rank 100 and I got my 40 gold bars right back and bunch of other goodies and benefits.

As for me, Norfolk Roadster is better because it's much braver and a bit faster but you have to care about horse HP sometimes

[Argstein]

horse bravery is not a stat.

In the story mode, I lusted after the fast Arabian horses and finally did get one. Now that I'm playing online, role-playing is more important to me, and I'm very happy with"Red", my red roan Breton horse. He's not the fastest but I think the bravest.

So the arabian is the fastest?

there is another horse with 1 extra meter of top speed... but that horse does not have 'Elite' handling..........

i use black arabian.

Speed doesn't really matter in online from what I can tell unless they changed it recently. All the horses have the same speed when riding with them that doesn't equal their visual stats.

I had the Arabian at first but stopped using it as it seemed to trip over things way more than some of the other horses.

Each bar of Speed is roughly .5% - .6% better than the last. Essentially, every 2 bars are 1%. So a horse with 3 Speed, is only 6% slower than a horse with 9 Speed.

The difference between the fastest horses, and the slowest, is perhaps 2 seconds at full gallop from point A to point B on a consistent course - with the same saddle and stirrups.

In my opinion, you need 3 horses. Each for a specific need. 1 for Races (probably an Arabian), a Multi for missions and everyday tasks (I went with the Kladruber), and 1 for bustin' sh!t up (a War horse).

But if you're a new player, I'd recommend just saving up until you break level 50-ish to go for a new horse. If you must get one, get a Multi one, and put your $$$ into getting a good saddle and stirrups. At higher levels they affect horse stats. Nacogdoches Saddle and the Hooded stirrups pretty much make any horse awesome in terms of Speed and Stamina.

TLDR;
-Race and Superior horses are nimble and fast, but spook easily and have low Health.
-War horses are slower, tough, and brave, but have great Health and Stamina
-Multi horses are middle ground between the above.
-Don't fool with Draft, Riding, or Work horses.

I have 2 different horses in my stable which have an higher top speed than the black arabian.
But the black arabian has a better maneuverability

Not sure if you can catch unique wild horses online or not, but I just discovered the Warped Brindle Arabian. That is a remarkably beautiful horse.

For new player arabian is very good and with this discount as you r propably low in lvls it's definitely worth.
It's not much brave horse tho, be ready to get ditched by it near wolfs/bears/pumas.
I got arabian at low lvls but ditched it for mustang when I could afford it, imho mustang is one of best horses. Very brave, have a lot of stamina(it goes down slower then some horses) #teammustang :))

You cannot stable and bound with wild horses in online.

I bought the arabian before discount. Real happy with it!
But it is skittish as all hell... Throws me of for a damn danger noodle...
Stops mid track if it hears a wolf. And might not start to run if I tell it to when being attacked by any animal..

And there seems to be a bug happening with cougars especially.. Always stopps and throws me off... Even if the cougar is far away.

just get a good war horse. perlino andalusian has highets stats of any war horse, max hp, good stamina and all hrses ahve extreemelly similar speeds but this one won't buck you off as much as others so yeah itd prioritize bravery and hp with decent stamina over speed and acceleration

Tried this horse and except big stats like health and stamina it was similar coward to arabian. Even with lvl 4 bound it was so scared about tiny snake when I can kill snakes by accident while galloping on my mustang.. XD #teammustang!

Seems like there might be bug and horses classified as work act like war ones, because mustang is work/war and so far any typical only war horse was coward. I use now appoloosa(work horse) and mustang(work/war). I can look at wolfs's eyes on my mustang and had grizzly on my tail(almost literally I was suprised how fast grizzly can be) on appoloosa and didnt throwed me. Cougar is the worst nightmare of any horse tho.

Is there a confirmed difference with horses being scared?
