Best Skills for Horses in BDO
Instant Acceleration
Instant acceleration allows players to speed up while running. So you can gain speed without having to walk — which means that you can travel much more quickly from area to area. This is a key skill for horses to have, as it reduces your overall travel time and helps you grind quests and dungeons much faster without having to slog your way there.
Drift
Drift allows the horse to slide into a pause when the player is riding. In the game, this skill is valuable when having to maneuver around people or objects at a high-rate of speed. It’s especially useful if you really don’t feel like engaging with a group of enemies — so a horse with some Toyko Drift skills is a must-have.
Sprint
Sprint allows the horse to instantly break into a gallop. With this skill, traveling can be much faster for you, greatly reducing the time it takes for you to reach a quest objective or simply get from Point A to Point B. When combined with Instant Acceleration, your horse will be lightning-quick and take you wherever you need to go in the shortest amount of time possible.
