Major Inconsistency: The Scorpion is Killing Animal Husbandry

Imanek

Hello,

I want to draw your attention to a major imbalance that is already harming the game’s economy especially the Animal Husbandry profession.

You’ve made the Scorpion mount, a novice-tier mount with 175 speed (the fastest in the game), accessible to anyone via a simple luck-based click. The consequences are clear and already visible:

Direct consequences:

Animal Husbandry is being abandoned, even in a central city like Winsted, where players are now prioritizing a forge and a mismatched kitchen setup over a proper farming workshop which would actually make more sense.

Is the issue player behavior or a direct result of this inconsistency you're allowing by leaving such a powerful mount tied to pure RNG?

Whatever the case, the server is flooded with Scorpions, and as a result, the mount market is collapsing. This not only kills the motivation to level up Animal Husbandry, but also impacts dependent professions like cooking, tailoring, and processing all of which suffer from the ripple effect.

This is reminiscent of Phase 2 when everyone was riding crocodiles and breeding was meaningless.

Please, in the upcoming economic patch:
- Reduce the Scorpion’s max speed to 140–145.
- Reinstate the value of mounts and the professions behind them.

Thank you for your attention to this issue, which is already having serious consequences across the game’s profession system.

yeah that mount handsdown rather dumb like 400hp less but 40% more speed is silly

people also try using them to grief with there low HP they just wack them in the middle of purples fighting hoping one has the AoE hitting non purples turned on or they target it by accidnety to get 1 shot making them go red for gear drops
