Saddles. Saddle Bags, Horse Armour, Horse Shoes

Post by Ragnar214 »

Saddles
------------
- Can hold a Saddlebag(Extra Inventory), variable colour and style. Improve riding speed by .25% base quality 10.

Horse Armour
---------------

-Am sure its been said before. Leather, Chain and Plate armour for the horses, variable colours and following similar quality/stat increases as our own armour.

Horse Shoes
-----------------
- Improve fatigue (make them do something) Not sure what theyd be used for besides making it easier on the horse to travel, can go longer distances. Can maybe work that into the mechanics somehow?

A few ideas of my own

Materials for saddles - leather, strings and maybe wax ?
Armors - lower the speed of travel with higher armor tiers
Horse Shoes - metal (maybe even make it so that horse shoes can be used as curios - Lucky Horse Shoe ?)

Also a more ambitious project that I am sure it's been said before - make different colour pattern horses, alterable by breeding. Pls devs come up with some patterns, and have them tiered up by rarity. Make the most cool-looking ones very hard to get (a very small chance after the taming process). It would be a huge incentive to boost horse breeding and make it a totally money making business.

Thanks

horse shoes are purely for walking on stone. soo, you could make the horse lose HP when its walking on stone if it isnt wearing horseshoes

You mean stone in the wilderness as well as paved roads right?

hooves act like nails, if they grow too long they can crack and make the horse lame such as can't walk/run

horses are relatively new, i don't think they have been fully fleshed out

Saddle bags would be cool.
