Bison vs Horses

Recommended Posts

I did some testing of speed with bison and horses on large cart and wagon.

Animals have 5 speed traits and no negative.

Horses have generally 70QL items and some 50-90 wind of ages enchantment.


Large rare cart

2 mature bison = consistant 12.24km/h

 

2 mature horses (378woa)(198woa) = top speed 21.60km/h, generally lower.

Mature 1 Total item QL: 367.68 rare saddle

Mature 2 Total item QL: 370.02

 

Wagon

2 mature bison, 2 adolescent bison = consistant 18km/h

 

3 mature horses, 1 aged horse = Min speed: 13.67 Top speed: 17.28 generally lower about 15.5km/h

Mature 1 Total item QL: 367.68 rare saddle

Mature 2 Total item QL: 370.02

Mature 3 Total item QL: 323.07

Aged 1 Total item QL: 346.51

 

My conclusion is that bison are best choice for wagon while horses are best for carts based on the fact that horses generally pulled a wagon at 15.5km/h while bison never went below 18km/h.

Yep, Devs stated bison would be faster option for pulling wagons. Nice to see your test results confirm this. Bison might become more desirable now for those long distance wagon haulers. I still won't be having any bison on my deeds though, as 4 horses are the max animals I keep per deed. Plus those hunched over things are not to pleasant to gaze upon for any extended period of time in comparison to our noble looking horses.
