Suggestion:
Back in the days when all pets were mounts and all horses were mounts, you could have as many mounts following you as you want.
Although I am not suggesting that you have an army of beasts that can follow you, those that own pets (custom beasts) - well at least me, would often like to have the pet following while mounting the horse.
Arin often has Baz as a companion rather than a pet. It is more friend with sentient beast but mounting a dumb beast.

I'd like to see this, too. It wouldn't be used terribly often, but I think it wouldn't be too hard to code in a way for someone to spend an extra fifty credits or so to make their pet a 'passive' pet, unable to use active abilities and not counting towards the beast limit of 1.
Edit: By active abilities I refer to anything that would affect players directly, by the way. Delivering mail and such like that should still work, obviously.
Arin2008-10-25 05:45:59
I don't think you need to pay credits to make it passive.
Just an extra pet command, something like, BEAST ORDER STANDDOWN, and as Moiraine suggests, the beast will no longer affect the player but you can still down all forms of passive stuff, e.g. order the pet to talk, emote, move and any intrinsic abilities and mail and deliver.
It won't count towards the Beast number so you can have a mount.

People who started early should have adult horses now.
Here is mine
This skeletal stallion is a strong, powerful creature, and his well-defined
muscles gleam beneath a brown coat. His mane is slightly tangled from his wild
runs, and his tail swishes incessantly as his brown eyes stare about languidly.
He lets out an occasional snort as his paws at the ground, throwing his head
back with inherent nobility, and leathery wings grace his body. He is called
'Plight.'
A skeletal, brown stallion with leathery wings appears to lack strength.
He weighs about 1000 pounds.
His feedbag is brimming with food and he is looking well-fed.
He is loyal to Apprentice Celina d'Murani.

Apparently Vathael's is the exact same, only white and wingless. Brown. I have brown horses IRL.
I dunno, I think I just expected something cooler if you fed it all meat.

I'm hoping that description is a side effect of raising it in Mag and not what actually comes from meat. I don't want a skeletal horse!

Yes, this looks like they might have different desc depending on where they were raised. I'm a rogue with an all meat horse as well..I will post the description when he matures (in estar).
EDIT: This may be an incentive to trade! If you wanted a horse that was raised in Celest as opposed to Seren, and so on. How intriguing!

Just a quick question I'm going to ask here, so I can give my clan members a break .
I don't fully understand the inherent abilities in HELP BEASTS. Do those allow you to go over the cap for abilities?
My question is bad but I can't think of another way to word it >.>.

Moiraine2008-10-26 23:58:50
From what I understand, these are just abilities you don't have to use training points on. The beast has them regardless.
Kharaen2008-10-27 00:27:38
Inherent abilities are free skills. Meaning, they don't count towards the limit.
Example:
If you total all the skills, it'd be 590 points. But since mount and gallop are inherent, they don't count towards the cap.
