  • Why not tailor made horse gear?

    Hello Everyone,
    This is my first post on EQTC even though I've used this site for years for the great info found here.

    What I am wondering is why couldn't it be possible to tradeskill some simple horse gear like reins etc, nothing as fancy as the warhorse barding. Just simple conventional gear that could be installed using the barding oscillator.
    The plain horse that we have now looks like a tired old nag ready for the dog food factory. Almost any gear to dress it up would be an improvement. I know they talk about the global memory limitations on new graphics, but if they can make mods to simple items like bag colors etc, I dont see why they couldnt take the warhorse barding model and simplify it down to just some reins and head gear and make it trade-skill-able. That way we can all help to make Norrath a more beatiful world.

    I'm not sure if it's possible. If the horse and the barding are separate in the global profile, custom armor may be possible. But if the warhorse are listed in global file as whole horse and not just the decoration, then it may not be possible.

      I'm not 100% sure, but I think the point of the graphical horse revamp that came with PoR was to enable this kind of functionality. The pally and SK upgraded horses are just the basic horse with a horn or flaming feet added, respectively. Barding was again a graphical add-on to the base horse. The pegasii in the Elddar forest are again the basic horse with wings added, and so on. So yeah, it might be possible.

          it would be nice, though.

          I want a winged horse - even if it doesn't add speed, or flight...
