Horses? Already? How?Follow

Both Paladin and Dark Knight get a horse ability at level 20. Supposedly it's only as fast as J-boots, where as the normal, more expensive horses are faster than that.

Well, if Jboots are sprint speed, then yes, Pally/SK mounts are that fast. If not, then those particular mounts are faster :) As much complaining as i hear about the Jboots i seriously dont see how they could be as fast as sprint..because thats a nice speed boost. Specially when it lasts til you drop the horse :)

Can you 'sprint' whilst on a horse? I suppose 'gallop' would be a more apt description.

By the way, money is not a proublem. There are several methouds out there that allow you to pull in a lot of cash fast.

A new player that has 2-3 silver, can easily turn it around and have 5-6 gp within an hour or two during prime time. 3-4 plat within a day or two.

I am assuming this will balance out, but its amazing how many people sell things without checking their value. :)

The wholesaler quests will net you 3, and 12 silver respectively for T1 and T2 items. (Last time I checked).

So if you can buy T1 items for less then 20 copper, T2 for 80 you will make a profit.

You can very often by T1 items for between 2-12 copper. T2 Items tend to from 8 to 80 copper. So with a little care you can make a 10x return on your money. Considering you can do this every few seconds it does not take long to generate a great deal of money. Note that once you have more then 50 gold the return is not really enough to warrant it, but it’s an excellent way to build starting funds.

As for bags.

Make some Elm Strong Boxes. These only go in your bank, but hold 8 items and cost less then a silver to make. They weigh 100 lbs so be careful transporting them.

In addition Pristine Rough Leather Backpacks can easily be made that hold 6 items and give you a 10% weight reduction and cost silver or two to make.

Note both of these items can be made by ANY crafter with the most basic components.

Sorry, slight threadjack.



It's also amazing how people can accidentally click on "Buy from this broker" instead of "Examine"...

Grr... there goes my 40 silver! :P At least someone out there is happy. :/

Concerning horses... I'd like to know if the actual horses you buy have sound effects? I find it ethereal to see a Paladin on his horse riding past me with no sound whatsoever. :/ Trivial, yeah, but still.

Also, you don't pay upkeep on them, do you? And can recall them at anytime?

Where can these wholesaler quests be found? Any advice would be appreciated.

They are gathered etc items but many people then sell them on the market - ironically enough usually to clear bag space - so you can buy them cheap. This seems to vary a lot with time of day etc.

Just buy from the broker in your TS house and turn in to the quest-giver. You make 3 or 12 silver on T1 or T2 and can get another work order immediately. You also gain faction with the TS house so even if the profit is marginal it may be worth doing it and getting the next.

And yes people do buy without checking. I mispriced a pelt yesterday and someone bought it

Actually you can. But it takes another person to help. Basically you give the items you want counted to a friend, and have him trade them back to you 1 at a time...ding quest item per trade! This is not an exploit because you still need all 15 to turn in to finish the quests. Just a way to use items you already harvested before you got the quest.
