So training your mount actually makes a difference!

[djb_1990]

I've been playing with just one character for ages, and been upgrading the speed and stamina of my mount the whole time, not thinking it really made the slightest bit of difference, but boy was I wrong!

I created a new character, to try a different playstyle, and hoo boy is my horse slow now! Pretty sure my character can run quicker!

So, for people new to the game who are wondering whether it actually makes any difference training you mount at the stables... yes, yes it does :D

Thanks for information :D

Not only the Speed makes a difference, also the other Stats :)
Additionaly your mount gets small visual upgrades over time too
If you want to know more about Mounts in ESO you can take a look at my Video guide:

when you train carry-weight, it actually adds a slot to your backpack and not your mount.

If you're just leveling, think about getting "The Steed" mundus stone buff and it gives a small boost to speed with the health regen.At least until your horse picks up some speed.

I think you can actually run faster than your mount at first, never tested it but it sure seems that way.

When I realized how long it takes to train mounts I decided to make a few character classes I knew I wanted to play and just parked them by the stable and logged on to train the mount for a few months. When I got around to playing them they had at least 60 into speed.

When Warden came out it was very hard to go back to the slow mount. That came out last May I think and my two wardens still haven't finished stamina. I go Speed, storage, then stamina....

ofc it makes a differece, everything in this game that makes a difference is heavily time gated
(and intentionally hobbled like absurd amounts of ingame gold it takes to max out bank and inventory storage) like mount training to get you to buy riding lessons from crown store, or with craftting - trait research takes a loooong time so they hope you will buy research scrolls to speed it up.
How else would they make people part with some extra cash outside of buying the game itself.

It is the smart thing to do. You can also make pack mule characters and go for inventory space.

This is why I have made all eight characters allowed and parked them at horse trainers. I subjest you make one of each type character that you might one day have interest in playing and train them daliy

Well, why not if you have patience to login on 8 characters every day for 180 days...
Speed is useful only in few situations, like wb hunting in group, PVP in Cyro and such. Any other time you an use wayshrines. Wayshrines everywhere...
Stamina is useful only in PvP, since ZoS dont see a problem in infinite gallop with 0 Stam. More mount's Stamina = more restanse to unhorsing under attack.
So only really useful is stat #3, which is +60 to Bag Inventory.
