BDO Dream Horse Guide (Black Desert Online)

Dream Horses After Upgrading to T10 Mythical:

If you like to plan ahead, you may be interested in how Dream Horses compare after reaching tier 10.

• Mythical Arduanatt: excels in mountain and valley travel. Has unique T10 skills for even better mobility. Mythical Arduanatt Guide
• Mythical Diné: can travel on water and has a skill to prevent fall damage after jumping. Mythical Dine Guide
• Mythical Doom: T10 Doom has even more offensive ability and party travel. T10 Doom Guide

The stats (Stamina, Speed, Acceleration, Turn, Brake, HP) of T10 Mythical Horses are the same as those of T9 Dream Horses. Active travel speed for all Dream Horses is very similar on smooth land, but difficult terrain can’t be bypassed as easily on T10 Doom.

T9 Dream Horse Requirements

You will need the following in order to awaken a T8 Courser and obtain your first T9 Dream Horse.

• T8 Courser level 30+
• Courser Training Materials: at least 200 green grade (1% EXP) or 100 blue grade (2% EXP) Courser Training Materials.
• Krogdalo’s Origin Stone: need 1 per Dream Horse attempt.
• Cron Stones: Optionally use 100 Cron Stones to preserve half the total training progress if you fail the awakening attempt.
  • Note: Cron Stones will not preserve Krogdalo’s Origin Stone.

Courser has a gold horse head icon.

Summary of How To Awaken a Courser

• Obtain 100 to 200 Courser Training Materials and place them inside your inventory.
• Remove all horse gear and empty the T8 Courser’s inventory.
• Stable your Courser at NPC Gula of Stonetail Horse Ranch in Mediah or NPC Melabee of Grána in Kamasylvia.
• Select Courser Training to open the Courser Training UI.

• A Courser Awakening can be attempted when the Total Courser Training EXP at the top of the UI is 200%. Feed the UI by adding 1 type of material at a time.
  • Green grade adds 1%
  • Blue grade adds 2%

Dream Horse Materials

Each Dream Horse requires different materials to obtain it. Increasing EXP in one category will increase the chances of attaining that corresponding horse.

For example, to increase your chances of obtaining Arduanatt, use any of the following to obtain 100% Skill:

• 100 Stonetail Fodder
• or 100 Rainbow Gem Fruit
• or 50 Fruit of Yianaros

Courser Training Materials Basic Chart
Skill Arduanatt (Pegasus)	Rainbow Gem Fruit	Exchange 10 Golden Seal – [Imperial Delivery]
		Stonetail Fodder	Processing (L) Simple Alchemy of Farming byproduct
		Fruit of Yianaros	200x Loyalties for 1 (limit 1/day)
Elegance Diné (Unicorn)	Breezy Conch Seaweed	Has a chance of dropping from fishing
		Spirit Pouch of Ferocious Beast	Hunting Blue Whale, Rawr-rawr, and Khalk
		Mysterious Blue Conch	200x Loyalties for 1 (limit 1/day)
Strength Doom	Deep Blue Hoof Root	Has a chance of dropping from gathering
		Pure Forest Breath	Has a chance of dropping from monsters in all regions
		Brilliant Crimson Fire Flower	200x Loyalties for 1 (limit 1/day)

Improving Your Chances

Each time you give an item to train your Courser, it increases the chances of obtaining a specific Dream Horse type. (Every item fed into a particular Training area will increase your likelihood of obtaining the associated Dream Horse by .5% to 2%.)

The goal is to make the Total Courser Traing EXP reach 200% (You can’t attempt an awakening otherwise).

Please remember there is a penalty after a category reaches 100% EXP, halving the value of each training item. Blue training materials decrease to 1% and green to .5%.

Examples of having 200% Training EXP favoring Arduanatt:

• 100% Skill, 50% Elegance, 50% Strength = 200%
• 100% Skill, 75% Elegance, 25% Strength = 200%
• 180% Skill, 10% Elegance, 10% Strength = 200% (expensive: costs 80 extra green mats)

Breezy Conch Seaweed

Breezy Conch Seaweed is obtained as an RNG drop during fishing. You can exchange certain junk fishing loot for them also.

Dream Horse Stats: Speed, Accel, Turn, Brake

Dream Horse stats are influenced by RNG. When a horse levels, there is a roll to see how much each stat will increase. This ranges from 0.1% to 1.3%, depending upon the tier. Getting perfect or bad rolls 29 times in a row would be very rare. Leveling a Tier 8 horse, Dream Horse or Mythical horse past level 30 will not improve any of its stats, but characters will continue to gain Training XP as the horse levels. Leveling horses past 30 only gives the added benefit of not drawing the attention of lower level monsters.

Dream Horse Base Stats (Level 1)

Dream Horse base stats show that Arduanatt is the clear winner in Speed and Acceleration. Active travel, utilizing the right skills, makes each of the Dream Horses very close in speed. For AFK travel, Arduanatt is the best choice.

Dream Horse Stats at Level 30

This shows the absolute best and worst Dream Horse stats possible at level 30-100.

Which Dream Horse is Best?

Arduanatt for Best in Mobility & Speed:

Arduanatt is the best in overall mobility, with its flight/glide capability. Doing some cliff diving or mountain exploring? No worries here!

Arduanatt has 2 unique flight skills.

Arduanatt is born with 3 skills, “Double Jump”, “Wings of Wind” for gliding, and “Courser’s Spirit” to heal its HP and Stamina when unmounted.

According to Patch Notes, Arduanatt’s DP is 150% higher than that of T8 horses. It’s a good amount of defense, but Dine has the best DP at 225% higher.

Arduanatt is the Dream Horse to use when you want the best AFK movement speed. All the horses are very similar in speed, when using the active travel skills Drift/Sprint + Instant Accel.

Arduanatt is not the best Dream Horse for the desert, water, defense, or combat.

Dine for Best in Desert Travel, Healing, & Defense:

Dine is the best Dream Horse for players who spend most of their time at Valencia grind locations in the Great Desert. This golden maned unicorn is as fast on sand, as it is on road. Dine can use Drift/Sprint + Instant Accel in the desert. This desert resistance is an innate special ability and not tied to a skill. Any desert sickness en route? Dine’s healing capability will come in handy.

Diné is born with “Earth of Life” which recovers 300 HP, as well as 300 MP/WP/SP every 3 sec for 60 sec for the owner and up to 9 of their allies, along with the skills “Courser’s Spirit” and “Double Jump”.

One thing to note: It can be tricky to use Drift/Sprint + Instant Accel combo in the desert because the slope of the dunes can break it. Dine is still much faster than a camel or elephant in the Great Desert.

Dine will also appeal to players interested in the best defensive Dream Horse. According to patch notes: “Dine’s DP will now be 225% higher than that of T8 horses.” Compare that to “Arduanatt’s DP will now be 150% higher than that of T8 horses.”

Doom for Best in Offense

Doom is best for offensive combat and PVP. Have fun with Doom in low level grinding spots to pick up knowledge ranks. His seemingly low speed numbers compared to the other two horses are not a problem if you active travel with Drift/Sprint + Instant Accel.

Doom is born with “Dark Flame Steps”, a powerful melee attack that can inflict flame damage to nearby enemies as well as “Courser’s Spirit” and “Double Jump”. “Dark Sprint” can be learned according to a certain probability.

“Dark Sprint” has a chance of being obtained, allowing faster movement during S: Instant Accel and inflicts damage to nearby enemies, surrounding them with flames.

Doom is the only Dream Horse that can learn the “Two-seater” skill.

Dream Horse Only Skills

All T9 Dream Horses start with 4 skills. One unique Doom/Arduanatt/Dine skill, plus Sprint, Courser’s Spirit, and Double Jump. Other desirable skills have to be learned as the horse levels.
