What do you think about getting rid of the stable npc's ? making animals a player run service.
That way tamers have some income in the early stages before they are able to get mustangs ?

Anyways just an idea.

write it on your list of not so clever ideas 2011

i think we would need a huge playerbase for this, since most people are macroing and it would take too long to get a new horse

I actually like the general idea as people could run around and stock up a vendor with horses and llamas.

Maybe increasing the prices on vendors would be a better option though. Right now horses are 550 gold, so bumping it up to say 800 would give room for players to make a profit by selling them at the current market price, undercutting the npcs if they were to charge more. This would probably make alchemy a little more profitable as shrink potions would have a higher demand.

Lets see what a few more people think about this and go from there. Though the more of the economy handled by players, the better.

I like the idea of increasing the price of horses on the vendors for sure. Instead of having to tame just rare mounts to make any money you could tame horses and sell them which could help new players earn some income.

Its probably not profitable for players to plunk down 500g per day to sell horses at 500g each. I think being able to sell animals to stable vendors to resell makes a lot of sense.

I don't think doing away with stable vendors altogether is ideal though. Maybe just having them sell non mount pets. Even with 40 taming a player can get horses so that would be a neat system. I haven't seen a lot of wild horses though.

I like the idea of making some way for tamers to be able to make some money at lower levels, my only concern would be do people really get enough of their mounts killed to justify having a vendor to sell horses for 500g, like Ramza said. I've seen quite a few regular horses around though, and don't think it would be a problem of having enough to sell.


Animals - MurderU - 05-26-2011

I dont know how you guys farm money (lol) You can make money selling horses right now and thats great! But if u want to consider making it profittable compared to other ways of making money you are talking about the wrong kind of prices for a horse Smile


Animals - soMa - 05-26-2011

as people get more money its easier when you die, to just go buy a new horse or llama than going to tame one and waste time. Id rather but them from a vendor than tame them Big Grin
(The lazy way)
This way its something a tamer can have on there vendor other than just mustangs and orns.
Everything from a horse, Llama, Pack Llama/horse mustangs and orns.


Either way increase the price (1000) Smile , or stop the purchase of them from npc's sounds good.


Animals - Fear - 05-26-2011

If you really want to go through with this idea, start spawning horses at easy to get to locations with unique hues that needs 60 animal taming to tame. People love colored mounts, and only a tamer will want to increase their taming to 60 to be able to tame them.

I would buy a red'ish colored horse for ALOT, but they would have to be rare


Animals - Eru - 05-26-2011

I remember on Sphere, you could use dyes to dye your shrunken horse statuette and the horse would be that color when you unshrunk him. Maybe we should make pet dyes through alchemy where you can dye your shrunken pets any color you could normally get through a dye tub. This would give people the option to have colored rides, but the really cool colors are still rare.


Animals - Shade - 05-26-2011

Israfil and I were talking about this last night Tongue If its too easy to make though, even coloring those basic dyetub colors would make rare mounts less valuable.


Animals - soMa - 05-26-2011

The colored horses is a cool idea horses, Not mustangs. 60 or 75 is a good level for the skill.
Problem is how would you tell the difference from a stang and a horse. (Cuz you could name them Mustang)
Second is there even a difference other than a mustang is colored ? I thought a mustang would atleast have a little more str / hp or somthing...
So with this idea id say you have to make them unable to change the name of the Horse and make them weaker than mustangs. so Stangs still have a value.


The dye tub idea would make mustangs less valuable.
I think we are on a good path here with taming Smile Are there any other good uses for taming other than rides / pack animals ? Or rare animals to find and make statues or pets out of them ?

*Idea - Tamers quest - the quest for the (Red)-Cougar or something along those lines to shrink for a statue or make a rug out of or use as a pet.
(different quests for different skill levels)

Just throwing out ideas. As if you didnt already have enough to do. Smile
