Allow Unicorns To Wear Horse Shoes And Barding

[Tryfaen 709]

Since you made unicorns rideable(again), and they're the same size and shape as horses and hell horses, how about also allow them to wear horse shoes and barding just for funsies.

why no barding?

 

crafters of wurm couldn't make a hole for the horn?

[MasterEntaro 13]

+1  always thought that it was completely stupid that this wasn't possible

Simply overpowered at that point, imagine a greenish unicorn with barding

[Tryfaen 709]

can't 2 shot it? OP

[ianrose 125]

Agreed. They're basically horses with horns anyway.. no reason they shouldn't wear shoes and barding. Barding shouldn't stack with their natural armor though. So if unicorns naturally have 40% damage reduction and chain barding has 55% or whatever, a barded unicorn should have 55%, not a product of the two. (I'm thinking something similar to how hell horses were when first implemented)

[MattSquare 426]

I think they should be able to wear barding and shoes, and their natural armor and barding should stack. A mount doesn't have to be able to be killed in two shots, and a lot of people are reluctant to PvP because their mounts can be killed in two hits. IMO, hell horses should have stayed the way they were, all you needed was 60 longbow, but people whined because they didn't want to grind archery. It would be nice to have another hell horse like mount, especially since it has to be tamed and will be attacked my mobs most of the time.

You can already put a saddle on them, they're intended to be ridden. the request is to simply make them a viable choice.

Anything that can be tamed or dominted would look awesome in armor. Champ Ven troll in full plate wielding a LT two handed sword in each hand..., hell yeh.

Fine by me, as long as it takes like 80kg of steel to make just the breastplate

Also +1 to unicorns able to wear gear

Then the spell effect ends and it runs away in that gear.

And while at it, making the barding visible on unicorn and hell horse would rock.  Was nastily disappointing the day I put gold barding on a hell horse and it didn't show >_<

[Drastox 332]

bump, make unicorns great again

If we do this can we keep it to pve plz, would rather not add more potentially game breaking/ meta requirements to pvp

how would they be different to hell horses?

 

I fail to see a game breaking,system or meta change from this

Differences from a hell horse:

1) Unicorns have higher fight skill
2) Unicorns can have a passenger (one person could archer while moving, or could jump on when they're dehorsed)
3) Unicorns can be champion, greenish, etc.
4) Unicorns are slower

[Mordraug 2,542]

"No!  Don't!  People may have better mounts on PvP!  There would be one or two new techniques to adjust to!!!!" 

And this about mounts that are slightly tougher... 3shotted instead of 2shotted, and hella slow with the extra passenger.

 

And then there are threads about PvP stagnating.

 

Last time I used this gif it was joking, this time I'm dead serious:
