New Wild Horse Breeds
One of the most exciting parts of Training is that moment of anticipation when you check a tamed Wild Horse at the stable, hoping you've found a rare gem, and the little thrill when you actually do.To let you enjoy these moments more often, we've added new breeds of Wild Horses that weren't available before and improved the system so you'll encounter them more frequently.

- New wild horse breeds now appear in the same locations as existing wild horses, each with set spawn rates.

QUEST & KNOWLEDGE
Seraph's story is deeply intertwined with earlier narratives, from the Valkyries and the Elionian Church in Calpheon, to the Orbita main quests in Edania where you first encountered Margarethe. As we created new stories and expanded the world, some elements conflicted with previous storylines, and we weren't able to resolve those points as seamlessly as we should have. We apologize for the confusion this caused.To all Adventurers who follow and care about Black Desert's story, we offer our sincere apologies and our heartfelt thanks.
