I hate horse breeding

Since the removal of horses from raid pools, getting a higher-tier horse is harder because the only way to get horses is the horse merchant from Ternaves or Bucie. But the horse merchant is a scammer. Sorry, but I just need to tell my story and how unlucky I am.

My friend and I decided that we must have white horses.
Yes, I know it was a dumb idea but we believed it would only cost us a few le or like 64le at max. Little did we know. At the end I spent 2x64le (all of my money!!) out of desperation only to end up with a chestnut horse. My friend’s story is more painful. He used up 3x64le which he earned by hard work (from lootruns and annie) only to get a black horse. There’s a 30% (!!!) chance you get a worse tier when you combine two horses of the same tier, and his chestnut horses ended up black horses 3 times out of 10!!
We’re so unlucky, I will never breed horses again… Man, I reckon I should have just bought a 40/40 white horse from the trade market.

Thank you for reading my short venting. I’ll never gamble again.

 

99% of gamblers quit before hitting their big winning streak.
I will loan you 1 stack le to keep gambling, just pay me back with 50% interest next week

 

It would be nice if they added actual consistent upgrades for horses. Wynncraft could use a mount rework in general.

 

The worst part is how useless even 40/40 horses are, in modern Wynncraft.

They could add a tier 10 pegasus or something and somehow I still feel like normal travel would remain the faster option.

 

Yup. Rather famously, horses are sold below the average cost to breed even now. It is strangely cheaper to buy a higher tier horse than to make your own on average.

 

Plus most classes have decent mobility; I almost never use horses in my playthroughs. Even with the scroll nerf. Though then again I have only fully played through mage, shaman, and archer, so I didn’t have to deal with the mobility of other classes.

 

So real :( I lost 3 stacks on breeding yesterday and only got a chestnut...

 

Yeah. Horses just kinda suck. Realistically, a chestnut is the minimum tier that actually makes sense to use for most classes. Brown horses are barely better than walking (unless you have walk speed bonus). I use them on new characters sometimes, but it's actually usually faster not to. A 10/10 brown horse is at least kind of acceptable in the early game if you're on a lower mobility class, but I genuinely don't think there's a reason to use a 1/10 unless you're deliberately not using movement spells or choose to have 0 mana regen or something, so leveling a horse to 10/10 just involves wasting a ton of time. Especially with all the downsides of using a horse (no combat, no looting chests, massive hitbox to get stuck, no water, slower climbing, worse steering), I just don't think they're hardly ever worth using.
