Across Ancaria you will find many horse dealers. They offer all kinds of animals, from the simple nag up to a real war horse. You can equip a war horse with bridle, saddle and even special armor. These special mount items can be found in the game just like player items, ranging in quality from regular to rare and even unique items.


Riding skill

You can be effective from your mount without having any points in riding. There are no more negative attack/attack speed penalties as in Sacred. However you do require higher riding to ride higher level (and therefore better) mounts. Your riding skill also increases your riding combat arts. These combat arts are only available if you ride a horse instead of your class-specific mount.

Horse Combat Arts

You can potentially get 3 Combat Arts while on horseback. The ones you have depend upon which type of horse purchased. There are two damage and one exploration Combat Arts for horses which are:

Leap

Rear Up

Charge

You may also use your god spell from horseback.

Types of Horses

There are different types of horses again,as there were with the original Sacred. However, in Sacred 2, the type of horse determines the types of bonus it will award you, rather than all horses having the same but some simply having higher values. There are five different types of horse:

  • Gait Horse
  • Racer
  • Nag
  • Charger
  • Saddle Horse

Different horses will give bonuses to different types of defensive skills, with all of them increasing your hitpoints. You can also get each type in a variety of different colors ranging from black to chestnut to pinto and even with different face/leg markings.
