Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Here's a thought.... What if you could choose when to use lightning movement on a horse? By using this new item called a whip you could trigger your horse use its speed boost from lighting movement. The Cool Down would be a 1-10 mins timer where the horse would not use lightning movement at all. The Whip Quality could determine the duration of the Cool Down or the Duration on the Lightning Movement. Anyhow just a thought...might be fun during horses racing events or even be useful to get away!! Item - Horse Whip / Riding Crop Skills - Leather Working, Tailoring, Rope Making, Carpentry. Creation -.50kg of leather, .50 kg wood, .25 kg wemp fiber. Weight -1.25kg Possible Options - Add light wounds to Horse as a Trade off for using the Whip more often over time for increased speed Duration. Success of speed boost based on AH skill ( maybe Duration as well? ) Edited January 26, 2014 by Protunia 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) 9 pages of PvPers sayin -1 [just wait for it] +1 for freedom anyway, even tho it's not really an necessity if ur horse is already well geared Edited January 24, 2014 by silakka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) While your idea might be reasonable, to chose when your horse gets max speed,I find whips to be very cruel way to treat animals and i Love animals (not supporting hunting etc IRL, tho i enjoy it in wurm only for skill gains)-1 (+1 if i can use it to whip Protunia) Edited January 24, 2014 by DonAngelo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) +1 to use it for emergency speed boost. Adds a very light wound and a speed boost then horse falls into Hurting stage (and speed) for a few seconds when it ends. You can keep beating the horse to keep it fast but you'll slowly kill it and make it slower once the effect wears off. Sounds like a good trade-off. Whip QL could affect speed of boost, duration of buff timer, or damage caused by the whip (higher ql means lower damage to horse).

Posted January 24, 2014 +1 but it needs to have a clear penalty, like a random wound to your horse (or yourself). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2014 Aye if one isnt skilled enough. Skilled users would merely crack the ends where the horses could hear without actually hitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Wow, people are seriously complaining that it's "unethical"? Even overrun-by-political-correctness Wikipedia doesn't have a "Controversy" section under the entry for riding crops. I'd cite the history of horsemanship in what could be considered analogous time periods, not to mention today, but I guess you guys just want even more fantasy in your fantasy game.
