Posted February 22, 2018 So raising AH is a matter of brushing your animals until they're furless and shiny.... http://www.horsechannel.com/horse-keeping/grooming-tools.aspx We have the brush, what say ye to adding a hoofpick, sheepskin mitt (should teach those evil sheep their place while at it), and a shedding block (could wogic it and just use the existing whetstone). So Groom (brush), Clean Hooves (pick), preen (mitt), delouse (stone... which is actually to "groom", because a bit more wogic). 4 possible actions per animal instead of 1 = less need to keep so many just to raise AH. 5 actions if you got sheep. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 23, 2018 Sure. If they fix how broken AH is for over 50...so we can actually succeed in getting decent horses. Otherwise, this is just more actions that raise a skill that it doesn't help to have higher skill in. (62+ skill myself.) They did make it so shearing sheep gives a little AH too, so if you maintain shearing a batch of sheep/rams + groom all your animals every day, it does give pretty decent gains already...but more variety is nice. (Though it does mean more tools to waste inventory space.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even not shearing, stopping at 50.00, at some point just breeding the animals will push you to 60+. At that point, you're kinda stuck leveling an alt to 50 or leveling yourself to 90 just for a bit of wiggle room in the traits. Either way, that means a megaherd (or new ways to "groom").
