Those skills now belong to you, the rider, rather than the weird Yoshi-looking lizard thing you’ve decided to ride around on top of. Now all of your mounts will benefit from any skills you learn at stables, meaning you can swap and change your chosen mount while keeping abilities like improved riding speeds and carrying capacities. Items that you haven’t yet obtained will be greyed out, with tooltips advising you on how to unlock them. Just obtain the item at any point in your game and it’ll automatically appear in your collection screen forever.
The collections window will hold three categories of item: mounts, vanity pets and costumes, allowing you to activate any of these things without having to hold the actual item in your inventory.
The new inventory system promises to free up loads of space in your pockets by taking all of these special items and squirreling them away to another bit of the user interface.
