horsesFollow

i am still fairly new and not very high level yet
so i have never had much oppurtunity see a horse

my question is this what is the point?
i know you can move fast on them and can med while moving is there any thing else to them?

Adendum...

One of the really cool things to see in the world of Norrath is a raid party setting off across a zone with everyone mounted on their horses and drolvags.

Really neat.

On ocasions like this, just to add to the scene Iluien and Celeni use wolf form, must take a picture of it next time.

ROFLMAO at my self

Where do you get a drogmor? Stables? Also, and this is prolly a dumb question, but can you sow your mount?

Drogmors are sold at the lighthouse in Gunthak. Gnome merchant next to the banker sells the drums (same thing as a bridle for a horse). I think the drums rank small, medium, big and biggest or somesuch where size corresponds to Drogmor speed (as opposed to the rope, leather, silk and chain system for horses)

Horses can not be SoWed. Mounts are essentially a buff with a graphic attached. So you can't kill horses, buff them, or whatever.

A few minor corrections...

AFAIK, you get sitting meditation while mounted and standing still, but not while moving. And while mounts may be a bit slower than runspeed buffs, the real drawback is the very low acceleration/deceleration rate. Horses don't immediately move at top speed.

Though I'm a warrior and have no need of a mount (unless I want to pretend to be a Pally), here's what my caster friends have told me about horses.

The biggest advantage is lack of sit-aggro, while still getting mana regen as if sitting. One of my guildies made an exhaustive study of mana regen while bored one time, and found that No, you don't regen mana while moving, and faster than you would unmounted. Nor do you regen mana faster while attacking or casting. Only while standing still. But at least it means you don't have to worry about a mob pounding on you just because you sat down to med.

Drawbacks of horses:
They can't be SoW'd, so if you got a cheap horse, your movement speed could be lower than without them.
You can't use them indoors.
You can't use "ducK" while on a horse...so you need to actually move if you need to interrupt a spell for any reason.
Horses eat like...well....like horses. So upkeep can get rather pricey.

Now, whether you still think it's better to have one than not is for you to decide. I'm just a warrior, I don't know first hand =)
