You’re dangerously close to your Horse Armor days, and nobody wants to revisit those memories. It’s worth noting that the Imperial Edition specifically grants you an exclusive white horse, while the microtransaction horse is Palomino, so I guess you could figure out who the big spenders are from the color of their steed.īe careful, Bethesda. Earning the gold to buy yourself a mount was something of an achievement, and offering horses as a bonus for players with a little extra cash is a slippery slope. The Elder Scrolls Online isn’t out yet, so the in-game economy is subject to change, but horses in the beta were pretty expensive. The Blue Oasis Dragon Frog was available from the Crown Store for 700 Crowns, and in the Wild Hunt Crown Crates as a Legendary-level reward. Upgrading from a standard game to the Imperial Edition will get you all those treats, but if you’re just interested in the horse (let’s face it, Imperials are boring), you can purchase one a la carte. Atmoran Chub Loon is a pet that is available as an Epic-level Reward in Dragonscale Crown Crates. The Imperial Edition of the game gives players a fancy white horse, a mudcrab pet, and the ability to play as the Imperial race. “The purpose of the store is to offer interested players a variety of additional services,” he says.

Feeding your mount Hay will increase its stamina, allowing it to sprint longer and take more hits before becoming dismounted. Feeding your mount Apples will increase its speed. Game director Matt Firor spilled the beans on what the Zenimax store will look like when the game launches. Unlike Skyrim, you can actually level your horse and increase its stats by feeding it at any stable. There won’t be very many options for real-money purchases at first, but two items have been confirmed: an unsurprising upgrade to the digital special edition, and an “entry level” horse mount.

In addition to the standard MMO subscription model, The Elder Scrolls Online will feature microtransactions in an online shop. Things are not looking good for the wallets of Elder Scrolls fans. The Elder Scrolls Online is a big game – why walk when you can ride?
