[Q] How do I get a horse?

Step 3

Objective [Q] How do I get a horse?

Summary Wild horses roam everywhere.
If you want to tame one, you'll need to catch it first.
Just pick up a Capturing Rope from the stable,
then you're ready to try taming a wild horse.
※ Use the Capturing Rope from your inventory to hold it,
then throw it at a wild horse to begin the taming minigame.

Step 4

Objective [Q] How do I tame a wild horse?

Summary Horses are incredibly smart. Once you catch one,
you'll need to win a tug-of-war before it will accept you as its owner.
If you try to mount it too soon, before you've built a bond,
you'll usually fail, so be patient.
※ In the taming minigame, press Jump when the gauge
enters the blue zone to start the tug-of-war.
※ While moving forward (Forward), rapidly press Jump
when the horse rears to keep the red gauge above half.
※ Repeat the tug-of-war and approach the horse.
When the interaction menu (Interact) activates, mount the horse.

Step 5

Objective [Q] Any tips for capturing wild horses?

Summary Patience is key. Wait until the horse is calm
and standing still on level ground before you approach.
If it rears up after the tug-of-war, don't worry.
Just start another tug-of-war.
Also, before you try to mount, offer a Lump of Raw Sugar.
It'll help the horse relax and make it more likely to accept you.
※ Purchase Lump of Raw Sugar from the Central Market
or craft it through Processing.

Step 6

Objective [Q] How do I register a captured horse?

Summary Bring your tamed horse to the stable to register it before riding.
Make sure there's enough space in the stable first.
Newly tamed horses are slower at first,
so I suggest riding your current steed to a stable and register the new horse.
If your horse really accepts you,
it'll follow you anywhere.

Step 7

Objective [Q] What if my horse's HP or stamina gets low?

Summary Horses get tired if you ride too long.
Give yours some carrots to quickly restore its energy.
If you're out of carrots, just hop off and give your horse a gentle pat.
It's a great way to bond and help it feel refreshed.
※ Use Carrots, Carrot Juice, or Carrot Confit
to efficiently recover your mount's resources.

Step 8

Objective [Q] What happens when my horse levels up?

Summary As you travel together, your horse becomes stronger
and gains new special skills.
※ Approach a horse and press the Mount Information button,
or view details from My Information (PlayerInfo) while mounted.
※ Check obtainable skills, skill controls,
and required equipment for skill use.

Step 9

Objective [Q] How do I use my horse's skills?

Summary A trained horse will show off its skills
at your command.
※ Check skill controls in the Mount Information window,
then mount your horse to use various skills.
※ Low skill mastery may cause skill failure.
On failure, the horse bucks and a minigame begins.
※ Succeed in the minigame to calm the horse.
Failing may cause you to fall off, so be careful.

Step 10

Objective [Q] How do I get horse gear?

Summary Outfitting your horse with gear keeps it safe
and can boost its speed.
You can craft horse gear yourself
at the Horse Gear Workshop,
or find rare, unique gear
at Stonetail Horse Ranch.

Step 11

Objective [Q] What happens when my Training level and mastery go up?

Summary The more you learn about the horses,
the better you'll handle them.
※ Level up Training to increase Skill Learning Chance,
minimum stat growth, and Silver earned from the Horse/Breeding Market.
※ Higher Training Mastery increases Horse Capture Rate, Mount EXP gain,
and the chance to obtain higher-tier horses through breeding/exchange.

Step 12

Objective [Q] How can I make my horse run faster during auto-run?

Summary If you want your horse to run faster,
try using a Riding Crop to give it a boost.
You can buy one from a Material Vendor,
craft a better one yourself,
or pick one up
from the Central Market.

Step 13

Objective [Q] I heard the Imperial Court buys horses...

Summary Deliver your trained horses to the Imperial Court
for a fair price and a special Seal.
These Seals can be exchanged for valuable items.
Don't miss your chance!

Step 14

Objective [Q] What are the Horse Market and Breeding Market?

Summary At the Horse Market, you can buy horses
raised by other adventurers or sell your own.
In the Breeding Market, you can put your stallion up for breeding
or pair your mare with a stallion from the market.
Foals from strong, healthy stock often outshine their parents,
so you can look forward to raising exceptional horses.
※ Breeding higher-tier horses depends on
horse level (max 30), tier, and Training Mastery.

Step 15

Objective [Q] What happens to horses that learn lots of skills as they level up?

Summary As you journey together, some horses may develop unique abilities.
These are known as Coursers.
Coursers are highly valued at the Horse Market,
and delivering them to the Imperial Court guarantees a generous payout.
※ To qualify as a Courser, a Tier 8 horse must learn
Sprint, Charge, Instant Accel, S: Instant Accel, Sideways, and S: Sideways.

Step 16

Objective [Q] How do I graduate?

Summary ※ After completing all Combat and Life Skill Courses,
