Introduction
To obtain a higher-tier horse, you can either buy a horse from the horse market or start horse taming and breeding them yourself.
Capturing horses in the wild also gives you Training EXP, and is useful for power leveling your Training lifeskill. The respawn time for wild horses is 30 min to 60 min, so you will need to swap channels often if you are planning to power leveling your training skill.

What you will need
To capture a horse, you will need two items:
- Capturing Rope
- Lump of Raw Sugar
For your first attempt, you may want to bring lots of Capturing Ropes and a few extra Lumps of Raw Sugar.

The best and most popular spot for Horse Taming is just outside Duvencrune. The horses can be found south of Duvencrune, and west of the Gayak Altar node.
The reason this spot is popular is because there is a higher chance of finding tier 7 horses here, meaning more silver and better horses for breeding.
However, all wild horses give the same amount of Training EXP, so if you are trying to power level your Training, you may want to go somewhere quieter and close to a Stable Keeper.
My favorite location for EXP is the wild horses just outside of Epheria Port.

Horse Taming Mini-game
I recommend reading through this section completely before you start horse taming. This is so you understand fully what to do and don’t waste materials.
- Put the Capturing Ropes and Lumps of Raw Sugar onto your hotkey bar.
- Approach the horse slowly. If you get too close, the horse will run away from you.
- Use the key on your Hotbar to equip the Capturing Rope (or right-click the Capturing Rope in your inventory).
- You can move with the Capturing Rope equipped, but you will move slower.
- Align your cursor with the horse and press LMB when the cross-hair turns red.
- If the horse is in range and targetted, the first mini-game will start
- A bar will show on the right side of your character and will start to fill up. You have 1 attempt to press [SPACE] at the correct time when the bar is in the blue area.
- Now you can start walking towards the horse using [W].
- If the horse stands up on its hind legs, you need to press [SPACE] to start the second mini-game
- There will be a 10-second timer and you need to continuously press [SPACE] to make sure that the red bar is at least 50% when the timer ends.
- You may need to repeat this mini-game multiple times.
- If you are successful, you can start walking over to the horse again.
- When you get close enough, the interaction options will show up for the horse.
- Press F5 to use an item from your inventory, and feed the horse one Lump of Raw Sugar.
- You can now Press “R” to attempt to Mount the horse.
- There is a chance that this can fail, no matter what you do or how high-level training you have. If you fail to mount the horse, you can retry by equipping a Capturing Rope again and following the same process.
Where to take your Tamed Horse
After successfully taming and mounting a wild horse, you can take it to any Stable Keeper to register it in your Stable.
Tip: You can get off the tamed horse and then mount your regular horse and the tamed horse will still follow. The reason you want to do this is because a tamed horse will only trot and cannot sprint or use skills, so use your normal horse to take it back to the stable quickly.
Don’t worry if the horse goes out of range, it will still follow you, just wait a couple of seconds for the horse to appear when you arrive!
Once you have arrived at a Stable Keeper, click the button to register the horse and enter a name for your new horse.
Horse Taming Gear and Buffs
When Horse Taming, you want to use gear and buffs that increase your Horse Capture Rate and Training EXP.
- If you are looking to power level your Training life skill, stack as many Life EXP buffs as possible using our Life Skill EXP buff list.
- You can also use the Training EXP Calculator by Wolfy to help you work out how long it will take to power level your Training.
If you are focused on power leveling your Training and need to stack Training EXP, a cheap setup is to use x2 Trainer’s Clothes (one in the pearl slot and one in gear slot). This will give you +20% Training EXP.
Another alternative is to use Mastery clothes in your gear slot with just x1 Trainer’s Clothes. It depends on what level your Mastery clothes are. For example, the TRI Loggia Trainer’s Clothes gives +13% Training EXP, which is higher than using Trainer’s Clothes.
