How about having a race track/jumping course where the horse can get experience and be a champion! I'd love to have some competitions based on us working our horses...


Life is a game and you were put here to entertain me.

We at least have the track/course, but either the horse (and rider!) doesn't learn or it don't actually work. I'd love to see it expanded beyond one room, though.

And we have the Steel Claw Clan arena (which appears to actually work), we should be able to 1)joust in there, 2)fight with our horses there, and 3)fight against horses and horse-like critters.

J'Lo, no that other one

Only problem then is that it wouldn't really be you bonding with your horse... presumably you could have a 2nd level bond with a horse you just bought as long as you have 100 AL.

Animal lore definitely needs to both be learned through horse interaction and actually serve a purpose other than titles.

<<But give us race tracks and the ability to breed horses like rasing the little companions for rangers and make animal lore part of the whole "breeding a champion" adventure and I'd actually work the skill beyond the 35 I needed to get my wolf.>>

For a ranger, it also serves a nice peripheral purpose--you can use it as your primary lore skill for circling, which is grand because it's both very simple to train and gains at a primary skill rate.

I hope they come up with many other benefits for the skill, though. C'monnn Team Ranger.

Oh, and I hope some of those benefits are cross-guild, not just ranger-specific. If a non-ranger SOMEHOW trains animal lore up past 200 or so, they should have something to show for it.

Animal Lore does not count as a circling lore for Rangers.

Because they learn it at a prime rate?I would love the precedent though.secondary skill learned at a prime rate and still useable for circling.

I think it's something as simple as "it hasn't been added yet."

Also as an addendum to my previous post, it may count for circling, but it doesn't count in your overall lore ranks when you type EXP LORE.

"I am a leaf in the wind. Watch how I soar."

With how easy AL is to train now it could be required at 2 ranks a circle (hard AL req) and most anyone would be able to keep up just fine.
