Description
These are said to bring luck! Apart from improving horse speed and safety, of course.
Horse shoes are U-shaped metal items which can be equipped on a horse's hooves to help it move somewhat faster.
Can be made of iron, gold, or silver.
Can be worn by
- Horse
- Hell horse
- Unicorn (can only wear gold or silver horse shoes)
Equiping
- Tame or brand the animal you want to put the Horseshoe(s) on to
- Right click the animal and choose look>equipment.
- Open the Torso, Legs, and Forelegs
- Drag and drop a individual Horseshoe to each hoof.
Note: Horse shoes MUST be cold before putting them on!
Notes
- 4 horse shoes are needed per horse. (tested with one horse shoe and still got a speed bonus)
- Horse shoes are damaged with every step the horse takes while mounted. Horse shoes are not damaged on horses being led.
- The speed enhancement depends on the quality of the equipped horseshoes. 50 QL is required for any bonus {New information suggest that this is no longer the case, more research needed, see http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/77108-horse-gearspeed-test/ for more info}. A bonus of .24 km/hr is gained for each shoe at QL50, another .24 km/hr at QL70, and a final .24 km/hr at QL90.
- Enchantment with WoA will increase the efficiency of the horse shoes. The same bonus is added as for the QL: a bonus of .24 km/hr at 50 WoA, another bonus of .24 km/hr at 70 WoA, and a bonus of .24 km/hr at 90 WoA.
- Speed bonuses are only at each threshhold. For example, a QL70 horse shoe will give the same bonus as the same shoe improved to QL89, and a horse shoe with 50 WoA will give the same bonus as the same shoe with 69 WoA.
Speed Testing
- The following speed results were done using a wild horse - no traits of any kind on March 04, 2015.
- The rider weighted 85.6 kg.
- The base speed of this horse, with no shoes was 13.69 kph on a flat cobbled road.
- The testing was a continuous non-stop process and did not afford the horse a chance to graze. During testing at the 140 Total Shoe Quality level, the horse became hungry, resulting in a prompt speed reduction, from 15.11 kph to 12.2 kph. Feeding the horse restored its speed performance.
- It was found that the sum of the qualities of the shoes had an effect on the speed of the horse as seen below.
- Shoes of various qualities were mixed in order to provide quality sums in increments of 10 - for example, 70 QL total = 1 shoe at 30 QL and 1 shoe at 40 QL.
- Testing for total shoe quality above 200 was not possible due to lack of higher quality shoes for testing at this time.
Total Shoe Quality | Speed of the Horse |
---|---|
Unshod | 13.69 kph |
1 - 60 QL | 13.69 kph |
70 - 130 QL | 14.40 kph |
140 - 190 QL | 15.11 kph |
200 QL | 15.82 kph |
