Title: Riding Skill Repair Question
Post by: MURDERTRON on February 24, 2013, 10:11:49 am
How exactly does riding skill play into horse repair?  I am mostly curious if a Destrier would repair less often than an Arabian Warhorse if the rider has 7 riding skill.

And I am curious how often will an Arabian Warhorse or Courser break if rider has 13 or 14 riding skill.

Riding skill has no effect on repair chance as far as I know.

They manually added in WPF effecting weapon break rate as a nerf to 0 WPF xbows many patches ago.  Anything else is incidental, and no other skills but WPF effect repairs.  Keep in mind any melee WPF applies to all weapons you spawn with.

Just FYI, melee WPF only reduces upkeep on melee weapons.

Would be cool if riding reduced the upkeep chance of your horse, the problem with that, is that everyone pretty much min/maxes riding and stops at the riding requirement of the horse they want to ride.

Then use a formula with relatively bigger reduction to repair rate, BUT only use levels above the difficulty of your horse.

I.e.

Arabian Warhorse is 7 difficulty, rider has 7 riding skill.

No reduction.

-||-, rider has 13 riding skill.
6 x reduction_rate
