Well we already have rug and carpet crafting, statue crafting and taxidermy in place. The world is full of surprises if you look for them

cool, you mean we're supposed to get away from our macros and actually try stuff out???!!!?? =P

As for mount coloring, I wasn't meaning a tub, just referring to the list of colors they give by default. I was thinking along the lines of a single use item that would be very rare.

That's more along what I was thinking.

Before this gets more off the original point, would anyone object to horses being more expensive and if so why? Also, should pack animals be tamable and/or should there be a way to make a normal horse/llama into a pack animal? Oh and would anyone object to ridable packhorses?

I say make the horses more expensive. As for pack animals...would be neat for there to be no "pack animals" per se, but to be able to craft a pack for animals, and "equip" a normal horse/llama with the pack to convert them into pack animals. I think it'd be awesome with them being ridable as well.
