The AA shows up in the class section and is called "Holy Warhorse". It's level 59, with the prerequisite of "Holy Steed". The ability ID is 1643.

The spell icon that appears in the buff window is called "Summon Holy Steed", and is the same spell icon that Holy Steed generates. So the same spell effect. Just the appearance of the horse is different (kinda makes sense I guess).

It says Prophecy of Ro.

Insightful thread.

Hurts my head a bit, but insightful. Thanks for everyone looking this stuff up and sharing info.

(I'll admit that given the option... I prefer no mount in EQ).

I have seen this mentioned before, but the mounts I have definitely have a slight delay starting and drift quite a bit when stopping. I have a great deal of trouble kiting with them. My Wizard is not too difficult, but my Necro cannot use a mount or he gets interrupted all the time.

Same here, I mostly use them when runs are over a great distance, but dispense with them once I arrive.

Yeah, I got so used to doing this with my necro main over the last 5ish years, that now I do it on any character. Somewhat odd looking and unnecessary on my monk... but that is life as me.

That IS strange. I tested on a Kangor model mount but I doubt the type of mount makes any difference. I suppose it could be your connection. Is it "terrible"? I am on a very fast FIOS connection.

I've noticed that stopping is variable on my paladin. Same mount every time. Most of the time, if I let off run, it stops instantly. But sometimes I continue to "coast". I've seen no specific pattern to this, it just happens sometimes. I know I've run right through pok books before because of this.

In my own experience, the type of mount seems to determine whether it starts and stops instantly. I personally prefer a slight amount of 'drift' as it's more realistic.

One thing I didn't notice above was a link to this site's page for mounts - I can't be certain it includes all mounts for EQ, but it's complete what what I can tell: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/EQ%3AItems_Mounts The last word for EQ mounts!

One last thing. Yther, you made an earlier post that said this;



Well, I tried to upgrade my Collapsible Roboboar using the gnome 'Tindle Klinksworth' in the bazaar. When I tried the combine in the kit he gave, it didn't work (tried a silken bridle). Petitioned the issue. Here's the transcript of what happened:

Customer By Web Form 01/23/2014 06:18 AM
I just purchased a silken bridle for 60k plat to upgrade my roboboar for my character Zirumkin. I went to Tindle Klinksworth in the bazaar to get his conversion kit. I placed my bridle and by collapsible roboboar in it and get the message 'cannot combine these items in this container type.'
Please help!

This seems to imply that either the collapsible roboboars cannot be upgraded, or maybe they can...but through another method that I haven't discovered yet (and yes, I'm aware of the *very* expensive method in Crescent Reach where you buy all those parts from the clockwork behind the bank. I don't think that applies to the /claim collapsible roboboar though.

Hope all this info helps someone?
