Dirge Level 30 Trait Song: 24

Interesting Points:

• Any race can buy any horse (not just pony) and it will automatically resize according to your race.
• Momement buffs do not stack with mounts.
• You purchase whistles that you place in your activatables slot to 'use'.
• You can drag the activatable slot to you hotbars and click the whistle to call your mount.
• You can fight & harvest from a your mount.
• When you zone, you come back on your mount.
• You can only ride your mount in the large parts of cities, and open zones. Not caves and instances, etc.
• If you purchase a mount with status, it sells back for gold and no status recoup.
• The flying carpet looks like your sneaking 'visible' while riding.

Sellback Information confirmations NEEDED! Please post Screenshots.

VERY VERY VERY Nice Job, thumbs up man!

5 Star Post, Undoubtedly.

Great guide !! Thx !

Say i buy the 2p horse from SQ vendor. Then i get 8p and want to buy the 10p horse.

So can i sell my 2p horse back to the vendor and get full money back ? So that i have 2p + 8p =10p.

Thanks

Yes you can. You can sell back a horse for the same price you paid for it. I don't know about status though. I bought my horse for only cash.

Thanks. Any chance you can add some information about what movement buffs stacks with what?

Thanx Warwick!! Very nice post!! I don't know about totems but Jboots stack with Pathfinding & they both stack with the Dirge speed JMA (special choice at level 30).

Movement buffs don't stack. The only way you could increase your mounts speed is by applying a movement buff that grants a higher bonus than the mount does. SOW/Pathfinding are both 20% so it would speed up the paladin/shadowknight horse (to 20%) but not the purchased horses. Running is a 40% speed increase so it would increase the speed of "fun"-horses, starter and standard horses as long as you have power to keep running. However the speed bonus while running on a horse is still 40% not more, the 9pp and 50pp horses don't require you running anymore since their speedbonus is at least 40%.
There were some issues with some speedbuffs stacking after release but I think this problem has been solved in the meantime. JBoots however still seem to stack with movement buffs. But I can confirm that horse+pathfinding, horse+SOW, pathfinding+SOW only apply the highest buff and don't stack.

Theodore,

MOST movement buffs do stack. SOW + (Preorder) Jboots + Totem = 54% speed increase. This is confirmed. SOW = 20% Totem = 24% Jboots = 10% if you have your player effects window up (go to EQ2Interface.com to find out how to show it) you will see a speed=54 in the window. Also it has been confirmed that Pathfinding is NOT 20% but it is only 16% I have found that Sprinting doesn't stack with the 54% worth of run buffs as I do not go any faster with it activated.

This was tested a couple times by myself and guildies as I finished the TS Jboots run with over 2 minutes left and Nek with over 3.

Now I may be incorrect on this but Preorder Jboots did NOT stack with pathfinding before they may now but I am not a scout I just know that they didn't at one time.

Also I am not sure if they stack with horses run buffs. That is a completely different animal and I will not comment on it as i have no actual knowledge on that subject just wanted to let you in on the SOW / Jboots and Regular run buff stacking.

I just got the Steppes Pony it is the same as the parade pony but Unkept. I think it has a gray mane also.

Wonderful work on the guide Does anyone by chance know if you have to have good faction with the respective organization to have access to the maj'dul and holy/unholy steeds? What I mean is that my paladin does writs for the Qeynos Guard, so he is losing faction with both the priest and mage societies. Once our guild hits 30, will he be blocked from obtaining a holy steed?

Excellent guide. Sellback info would also be helpful in this thread. I think you get something like 80% value back. Can someone confirm this? Is sellback value of a status horse less than the equivelent non-status horse?

Awesome! 5 stars

Is there anyway that is not guild related to get an Maj'Dul - Flying Carpet , Spirit Steed or Unholy Servent


Very nice list. i always like seeing the pictures of stuff.

I do plan on editing this for any confirmed information and questions that might need answered alot. Gonna let it sit a bit and get some good stuff to add. PS, if you have a pic, post it, or send me a link of the ones missing. BUT best of all is that if your on Mistmoore server, lets work a time for me to take the pic

Stupid question but will a stepped pony scale up when mounted by a barbarian/ogre/troll/iksar?

I have NOT seen any black horses for sale - are there any? (somewhat like the SK one)

Nice guide!

I'm guessing that you didn't mean "working progress", but meant "work, in progress".

Oh wow, didn't know about the lv 30 Status mounts!

Very nice guide thanks!

Asked some of my old guildies who are in Bane on Blackburrow to fess up the level 30 stats. Hopefully they can help fill in some of the details.
