Registering a Horse to the Breeding Market
To begin the Breeding process, select the desired [Male] horse and click on Register at Breeding
- Female horses cannot be registered to the Market, the Breeding Market is only for Males.
Breeding your own Horses
After registering your [Male] horse to the Breeding Market, if you want to have him breed with one of your own [Female] horses and not another Player's then you must make sure to select Show Only Me.
- The fixed fee for breeding with your own horses will always be 35,000 Silver coins
Click on the Silver coins Fee to be redirected to a new window to choose one of your [Female] horses to breed with your [Male] horse.
Select the desired [Female] horse and click on Request Exchange in order to begin the Breed process.
Click on OK (ENTER) if you agree to the fee for Breeding to start the process (you can choose to have the Silver removed from your Inventory or Storage but you must have funds in general).
You will receive a notice for "Breeding has started." and also receive an in-game mail notifying you of this process in which it will take 2.5 hours unless you decide to use Pearls to complete the breeding right away.
You can check on the pair's Breeding status via Mount Status in the Stable.
Breeding with another Player's Horse
If you want to have one of your own [Female] horses breed with another Player's [Male] horse then after choosing your desired [Male] horse click on the Silver coins Fee
- Fees vary depending on level, tier, skills, death counter, breeding counter, stats, etc
Select the desired [Female] horse and then click on Request Exchange to begin the process.
Click on OK (ENTER) if you agree to the fee for Breeding to start the process (you can choose to have the Silver removed from your Inventory or Storage but you must have funds in general).
You will receive a notice for "Breeding has started." and also receive an in-game mail notifying you of this process in which it will take 2.5 hours unless you decide to use Pearls to complete the breeding right away.
You can check on the Breeding status via Mount Status in the Stable.
Collecting your Foal
When Breeding is complete, both your [Male] and [Female] Horses (or just [Female] if you're breeding with another Player's horse) will have the status as Complete
To collect your newborn [Foal], select the [Female] horse and click on the Complete that pops up on the side.
A new window will appear with the newborn [Foal] in which it cannot be registered (available) to your Stable until you name it first.
Retrieving your [Male] Horse
You won't be able to take out your [Male] horse with you on your adventure if he still has his Mount Status as Complete. This means he is still registered to the Breeding Market and must be removed.
To remove him, click on Breeding Market in the main Stable UI and then click on My Registrations (towards the top) and then Receive.
Click on OK (ENTER)
When this notice appears at the top, this means your [Male] horse is now available for use as he is now back in your Stable.
Exchanging Horses
To exchange your horses click on Exchange Horse in the main Stable UI. Select the desired horses you would like to exchange by choosing the [Male] first (right-click).
Then select the [Female] horse you would like to exchange
The fixed fee for exchanging horses will always be 10,000 Silver coins. Make sure you have the funds for it!
If you agree to losing both horses in exchange for a new horse, name the new horse in the field below the Exchange Cost and click on Yes. Your new horse will be sent to the Stable after.
- If you accidentally exchange the wrong horses, this action cannot be reversed by the support team.
- Unlike breeding, if you exchange Coursers your new horse will not receive Courser breeding benefits
- You can only exchange horses once per day (as shown below)
