Horses are essential for travel in Crimson Desert, and with the map being ever so large, it’s necessary to claim the best horse, along with the best horse equipment. From the horse itself to saddles, stirrups, and more, we’ll show you where you can get the best horse setup to ensure easily traveled journeys.

For faster travels than any other horse, and to beat opponents in horse races, you can find the best horse build below, so that you’re making everyone walking behind you eat the dust while you sprint ahead with the fastest horse, ensuring no time is wasted while exploring.

There are multiple legendary horses, but we recommend Royler for the reasons stated below. However, you might want to find the other legendary horses, and we have a guide for that, which you can find just below this text.

How to Get the Best Horse in Crimson Desert

Royler, the Legendary White Horse Stats & Location

Health	990
Stamina	390
Attack	46
Defense	150
Movement Speed	5
Acceleration	5
Handling	4
Jump Power	3

Royler is a legendary horse found south of the “P” in “Pailune” at the Snowgrass Hearth lake.
To obtain Royler, you will need at least +10 Stamina from the Skills menu, as attempting to tame a wild horse like this isn’t going to be easy.
Tame Royler simply by holding the Left Stick in the same direction as Royler’s tail until the horse calms itself.
The reason we picked Royler was that he is the fastest horse in the game, boasting the best Stamina, Movement Speed, and Acceleration of any horse.

The stats shown above are Royler’s at Level 5 Trust, along with the best-equipped gear!

Best Horse Equipment in Crimson Desert

To start, enter Castle Delesyia (with the Visione equipped) and purchase the Delesyian Crown for 70 Contribution Points at the Contribution Shop (marked on the map above).
You can now equip the Delesyian Crown and purchase the best horse equipment from the Deleysia Saddlery, also shown in the image above.
