Let's face it, you want to ride in style when you're jaunting around Taborea and that old horse just isn't cutting it anymore. So what do you do when you need a new ride? Grab one of the new armored warhorses, of course!
The armored warhorse is a new addition to the Runes of Magic item shop, giving players a new, slightly faster alternative over the current mounts. The horse comes in three different variations, including a 1 day, 30 day, and permanent purchase version.
The 1 day and 30 day versions are economically friendly, only costing 40 diamonds and 100 diamonds respectively. That's around 2 US dollars for the 1 day, and 5 US dollars for 30 days. If you really want to be a sport, though, you can pick up the permanent version for 395 diamonds -- about 20 dollars in US currency. It's a bit expensive, but it's almost to be expected from a horse covered in shiny sheets of metal.

The cost of these items is ridiculous! $20 for a horse??? On top of the cost of many of the other items.... ugh. Unless there is a way to get the armored mount in-game, this is a complete rip-off. I'd rather just pay $10 a month and have the option to earn a horse on my own.

I don't see what the big problem is.
If you like paying monthly, just spend $5 a month and maybe a few bucks every month of items that interest you and play this game just like any other MMO.
Or if you are like me and don't play all that often and it would take you a very long time to earn enough gold to buy an epic mount in a game like WoW, $20 is not bad for a permanent mount.

For your information.. there IS a way to get armored mounts in-game without having to pay. Throughout your many quests you're rewarded tokens called Bierdine/Phirius tokens, all of which you can later use to buy a permanent mount when you have gathered up enough. Granted, they cost a lot of tokens and you'd have to complete many quests before having enough.. although, you can always just RENT a mount for 3,000 in-game gold for 2 hours.. and believe me, gold in this game is SO not an issue. At level 20 I already had 200,000 all from quests/npc'ing items. So think before you speak..
