Good sirs, I recently participated in a battle...
ArysOakheart vs Fallen_Wayyyyyne
In this battle, no Fallen showed up, but expecting them too, I rode a Sumpter horse to lead our troops to victory. Now, I care not for the other gear, but Betsies do cost me over 100g to craft each.
I started this battle with 10 cloned sumpter horses, and the battle ended (with no casualties on my side) with 9 sumpter horses.
Now...I was led to believe that if you were riding, or equipped an item at the end of the battle, you would keep that item. I find this most discouraging, and thank goodness no one else was riding Betsy, for I may have lost more then one. For we Free Peasants of Fisdnar, 100 strat gold is quite a bit, perhaps to large-carebear-crafting-allying-with-everybody-clans, it may not be.
All I ask is that this matter be looked into. Thank you, and I hope none of your clans sacred horses are lost through the void.
