Master List of Horse Training Buffs and Items

Embarking on the journey of horse training in Black Desert Online requires understanding the various buffs and items that can significantly accelerate your progress. This comprehensive guide details the essential tools and temporary boosts available to enhance your Training EXP, Life EXP, Life & Training Mastery, Mount EXP, and Mount Skill EXP.

Understanding Training Buffs

The Horse Training life skill encompasses several key experience types that can be boosted. It is crucial to differentiate between buffs that affect general Life EXP and those specifically targeting Mount EXP and Training EXP. While Life & Training EXP buffs are valuable, they do not directly impact the leveling speed of your horse. For detailed information on horse leveling strategies, refer to guides on horse leveling and mount EXP.
