Horses & Clovers

Post by Maldazar123 »

Just a thought I had while riding around on a horse and foraging:

Would it be an interesting idea for when you forage a clover on a horse, instead of the clover going into your inventory, having the pony power stamina increased by about 5-10%?

I understand Jorb's worries about how overpowered permanent horses could be, but this would be a finite way of temporarily increasing the duration of your horseback-foraging, that there is no way to really abuse or stockpile clovers for. The clovers would need to be picked fresh while on a horse, not fed from the inventory, so it would only be by chance while crossing grasslands that you would come across them and mildly boost the horses stamina.

I know there's been times where I've wished that bar would last just a little bit longer :(

Haven't put much thought into balance/percentages, but this seems like the best way to extend horse longevity outside of permanent taming (that I've thought of so far).

Even a 1-5% would be nice :) Maybe depending upon q.

When I'm riding my horse I can easily find a clover every 2-3 minutes.

The specific reason why horses aren't tamable yet is the issues of permanent riding and the effects it will have on pvp.

Lets wait and let the devs plot how to kill us all in peace. They get horse suggestions at least every day.

Which is precisely why I'm suggesting this as an alternative to permanent riding or taming.

An occasional tiny boost in stamina (and only when riding on grasslands) isn't exploitable, and can't be permanent when you need to pick fresh clovers to get it. Especially if the percentage of the stamina increase is low enough.

So it appears that you cannot call it a day unless somebody makes a new horse thread.

I want to do a recreation of a Tijuana donkey show with a horse and a female hearthling. This should be added at the earliest possible convenience. And hookers, and blackjack. thanks in advance! :)
