Posted June 18, 2021 I did last week test to find out if age has meaning but here is first results which might help. Its all done on flat surface. west to east and back (didnt look what wind direction was or what direction i was running for each speed value). Only differences these two horse have is one is cared, age (old and venerable) and PaintGolden has Spark and WildLei has lightning speed. Weird thing is that 2sp is faster than 3sp which is why im waiting for old horse to turn venerable to see if PaintGolden speed changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Age isn't a factor, but since I know some people will go to the grave claiming it does I used the same age and colour horses for my test. Either way though it doesn't really change the point of the bug report. Edited June 18, 2021 by SmeJack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2021 Now that my 5 speed has aged up enough to be ridden, can also confirm that the unbelievably fast trait is not causing traits to be on all the time, but does appear to be triggering the water trait engaging at times, based on it being around 5kph faster with the same gear as a 3 speed without water trait, and averaging consistantly higher speeds. However, with some testing, it does appear that the water trait then may be kicking in a second time when actually riding in shallow water, as the horse then got a further speed boost - geared with high 80's shoes with low 90's woa, and an unenchanted 80's saddle, best speed i saw out of water was 42kph with a light load, and that increased up to 45kph when in water. Riding pretty much nekid with nothing carried, broke 48kph in water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Doing more testing, I think it is the wording of the trait that has been misinterpreted ... it is a speed trait that is always on, not all traits always on. Adds a speed bonus that is on at all times, and worth around 5kph, this would explain why I was seeing a further boost when the horse then ran in shallow water.
