Different-colored Elephants?

The bull isn't color selectable so I'm not sure what you mean. But I think what Angevon is saying is that each relogg changes the color of the elephant, despite it being the same elephant. Although, I wouldn't know this myself. Elephants are a waste of ducats in my opinion. Speed+Slots>Weight

I know.

The Flamemare gets a random color when you receive it. I think the same applies to the Bull.

Different Items call for different mounts.

Snore potions are more efficient on an elephant. Also almost all of bangor items are better on an elephant.

Not if you consider speed/time used up.

Yes. you do. I calculated.

Has to hold over 50-60% more goods than an horse to be more efficient.

You mean 43% more goods.

Not to mention it moves slower, so you don't have navigate as often.
