Thread: Profession Dependancy and Mounts: A Proposal

To increase the degree to which professions work together, I'd like to propose that Tailors get a set of schematics for saddles, which are required by Creature Handlers to train a creature to be a mount (existing mounts would be grandfathered in).


These would come in three sizes.



  • Small covers Kaadu, Spats, and Cu Pas. Saddles would be available in various styles, some quite fancy and draped with hueable cloth. The simpler ones would just be hueable leather.

  • Medium covers bols and dewbacks. Saddles would branch into two types, normal and sidesaddle. This would overcome the ridiculously wide leg spread of riding these creatures if so desired. Again, some would be fancier looking than others.

  • Large covers Brackasets and Banthas. Several options would be actual howdahs you could sit in, some with ornate curtains.

What do you think?

Now I personally think that is a very good idea. Having a little skill as a creature handler myself, I'd love to have something a little unique to add to a mount.

Very nice idea.

Though mounts aren't used much these days as vehicals are more popular because of speed it's still a great way of adding a little more customisation. I know I'd love to get my Amber (Cutest yellow cupa ever!!!) something that goes with her fur more than the current brown saddle.

I forsee two stumbling blocks of resistance concerning it:



  1. Essentially, a saddleis the same as a wookie pad. Tailors can't use it.

  2. It will be seen as just 'another componant'. Many [not all] tailors are resistant to selling componants of any kind.

That being said, I still really like the idea. The potential for creativity is fairly broad, atleast far more than a wookie pillow. I might even be more inclined to saddle up my ole carrion spat and tool around town on him.

I was thinking this was a piece when the mounts were released. Customized saddles would have sold very well.

Personally I see it more as clothing for pets rather than a component. If saddles were added I would take pride in making and selling them myself, maybe even try to colour match the rider's clothes to the pet's! I do think it would add another fun element to the game.

  1. Tailors can sell these directly to people who wish a saddle for a specific mount they've gotten as a baby. I could see direct sales being pretty popular.

  2. If you allow Creature Handlers to "resaddle" a mount, there could be even more of a market.

If anything, I see this as something tailors would sell on their own vendors.

If, once a creature has been trained as a mount, any player could purchase a saddle and switch change it themself. I'd be inclined to think it's be a fairly good product. Similar to vehicle customization kits, except that it has only one use and is perminant until another saddle is used.

I am not sure its agood idea.


I have a Master Tailor and Master CH myself. At this moment aCH with a level 4 mgt can train a mount. After doing that there appears a saddle on the mount. So actually the idea is already implemented.


Letting the saddle first be obtained from a tailor could be considered as a nerf. And CH as a profession lost nearly all his attraction due to a lot of nerfs.


- BE pets being much better than tamed creatures


- tamed pets cant be sold on a vendor where BE pets can be sold on a vendor


- Vehicles being much faster then pets.


- Distributing of Pet level over all skills so obtaining CH partly doesnt amount to much.


At this moment there is no merchant value in havingthe CH profession. Buying saddles looks nice but nearly no pets are sold by a CH.

Well, as people have said, it could easily be made optional, with tailors producing the saddles other than the "basic" one.

I'd go one better and suggest "battle wear" (saving the armor for AS). This could be used for any pets, not just mounts. Like this?

I think the idea would work better if implemented along the lines of the Vehicle Customization Kits allowing us to sell an item that will allow saddle customization, maybe with 2-3 users per item?
