Saddle Mechanics

Saddles are one of five mount gear slots available for your horse in Crimson Desert. The five equipment types are: Saddle, Stirrups, Horseshoes, Champron, and Barding. Each slot provides different stat bonuses:

Saddle increases maximum Horse Health
Stirrups add Stamina regeneration per second
Horseshoes add Health regeneration per second
Champron increases Horse Attack
Barding increases Horse Defense

To equip a saddle, summon and mount your horse, open your inventory, and switch to the mount inventory tab (R2 on controller). Select the saddle from your items and equip it. Picking up a saddle does not automatically equip it; you must manually assign it.

Saddle Tiers

Saddles come in five tiers, corresponding to rarity levels. Higher-tier saddles provide greater stat bonuses and are generally found in later regions of the game:

Tier	Rarity	Examples	Availability
T1	Common	Shabby Horse Saddle	Hernand Saddlery (Annabella)
T2	Uncommon	Delmar, Blue Scout, Purple Scout, Exclaire, Hyperion, Varnian, Wells's Warhorse	Various saddleries, Twitch Drops, edition bonuses
T3	Rare	Sahareum, Servano	Mid-game saddleries
T4	Epic	Berkei, Branique, Hernandian	Pailune (Eldred), Hernand (Annabella), saddleries
T5	Legendary	Delesyian, Demenissian, Hagmund	Delesyian Saddlery, Demeniss Saddlery (Fiona), late-game vendors

Where to Buy Saddles

Saddles are sold at Saddlery shops located throughout Pywel. Each saddlery is run by a named NPC and stocks region-specific gear:

Saddlery	NPC	Location	Notable Saddles
Hernand Saddlery	Annabella	Northeast of City of Hernand	Shabby Horse Saddle, Hernandian Saddle
Equinsher Saddlery	Bruna	Equinsher	Delmar Saddle
Eldred's Saddlery	Eldred	North of City of Pailune	Berkei Saddle
Demeniss Saddlery	Fiona	North of Demeniss Castle	Demenissian gear
Varnia Saddlery	NPC	Near Alabaster Bridge, Varnia	Varnian Saddle
Delesyian Main Saddlery	NPC	Near Finhold Netmakers, south of Delesyian Institute	Delesyian Saddle

Refinement

All saddles can be refined at a blacksmith to permanently increase their base stats. Refinement uses Tempering Materials and does not cost silver. Each piece of gear has up to ten refinement levels. Early levels require basic ores and timber, while higher levels demand rare materials and Abyss Artifacts. Visit Blacksmith Turnali in the center north district of Hernand to begin refining your mount gear.

Recommended Progression

A practical saddle upgrade path through the game:

Early game: Start with the Shabby Horse Saddle from Annabella in Hernand, then upgrade to the Delmar Saddle (available southeast of Fernand) for +50 Health.
Hernand region: Pick up the Hernandian Saddle (+250 Health) from Annabella's shop alongside the Hernandian Champron and Stirrups.
Mid-game: Transition to the Berkei Saddle (T4, 1,873 silver) from Eldred's Saddlery in Pailune, or the Branique Saddle (T4, 673 silver) for a budget option.
End-game: Acquire a Legendary saddle: the Delesyian (5,020 silver, highest stats), Demenissian (2,340 silver, from Fiona in Demeniss), or Hagmund (2,340 silver). Refine it to +10 for maximum performance.

Tips

Saddles are essential mount gear. Equip a saddle to unlock your horse's full potential.
Higher-rarity saddles may provide additional comfort or speed benefits during long rides.

Special Mount Saddles (Patches 1.06 and 1.07)

Patches 1.06.00 and 1.07.00 introduced a separate line of saddles for the Special Mounts system, sold at the same regional saddleries that stock horse tack. Each special-mount species type has its own saddle that fits all rideable members of that species. The horse saddle directory above remains unchanged.

Wolf Saddles

A single wolf saddle fits every rideable wolf, including the Large Wolf (1.07), the Large White Wolf (1.07), and other special-mount wolf variants. The saddle is stocked at two locations near Hernand:

Saddlery	Region	Notes
Hernand main town stable	[object Object]	The main saddlery on the north side of the city. Carries the wolf saddle alongside its standard horse tack inventory.
Gold Leaf Trading Post	[object Object]	Near the Greyman camp. Carries the same wolf saddle as the Hernand stable.

Bear Saddles

Bear saddles fit any rideable bear variant tamed through the Special Mounts system, including the Brown Bear, the Clawed Bear, and the additional bear variants introduced in 1.07. Bear saddles are sold by two saddleries.

Saddlery	Region	Notes
Hernand main town stable	[object Object]	Stocks the bear saddle at 3 Silver alongside horse tack.
Calphade Saddlery	[object Object]	The Calphade saddlery (Driana) stocks the bear saddle for players progressing through the region.

Giant Iguana Saddle

The Giant Iguana Saddle is the species-specific saddle for the Iguana Special Mount. It is sold at the Tash Kalpha tannery and saddle vendor, located next to the same fighting pit where you steal the iguana itself. Buying the saddle and stealing the mount can be handled on the same trip.

Saddlery	Region	Notes
Tash Kalpha tannery / saddle vendor	Tash Kalpha (Crimson Desert)	Stands next to the town fighting pit. Same town has the iguana available via Steal with a lantern.

Leaping Kuku Bird Saddle

The Leaping Kuku Bird Saddle fits the Leaping Kuku Bird Special Mount that hatches from the egg recovered inside the Blood Steel Camp fortress. The patch notes confirm two vendor sites for this saddle.

Saddlery	Region	Notes
Drieghan-region saddle vendor	Drieghan	Closest vendor to the Blood Steel Camp hatching nest.
Calphade saddlery	Calphade	Cross-stocked alongside the bear-saddle line for players who do not want to detour through Drieghan.

Sandwalk Camel Saddle

The Sandwalk Camel Saddle fits the Sandwalk Camel Special Mount unlocked through the Red Wind Merchant Guild side quest "Outlaws of the Desert". The saddle ships from the camel-saddle line stocked at the desert-belt saddleries.

Saddlery	Region	Notes
Varnia saddlery	Varnia	Closest saddlery to the desert routes the camel is best suited for.
Varnia stable	Varnia	Secondary stocking site; check inventory before travelling to the main saddlery.

Tiger Saddle

The Tiger Saddle fits the rideable Tiger Special Mount captured east of Demenissia. It is part of the large-cat saddle line introduced in Patch 1.06.00.

Saddlery	Region	Notes
Demenissia saddlery	Demenissia	Closest saddlery to the tiger pride spawn island.
Delesyia saddlery	Delesyia	Alternate stocking site for players based west of the spawn.

Lion Saddle

The Lion Saddle fits the rideable Lion Special Mount. The same large-cat saddle line covers the lion, and the closest vendors sit near the Vanya pride and the Demenissia Circus.

Saddlery	Region	Notes
Varnia saddlery	Varnia	Closest saddlery to the Vanya pride spawn where the legendary white lion also appears at night.
Demenissia saddlery	Demenissia	Useful for players who tame a circus captive instead of a wild pride male.

Red-Feathered Raptor Saddle

The Red-Feathered Raptor Saddle fits the Red-Feathered Raptor Special Mount knocked off enemy riders in the Tash Kalpha area. The saddle is stocked at saddleries serving the Tash Kalpha and Hernand belts.

Saddlery	Region	Notes
Hernand saddlery	Hernand	Closest mainline saddlery to the Tash Kalpha outposts where the raptor spawns.
Tash Kalpha tannery / saddle vendor	Tash Kalpha	Same vendor that sells the Giant Iguana Saddle.

Unequip Saddle Option

Patch 1.06.00 added an unequip option for special-mount saddles. When the saddle is unequipped the mount appears bare-back, which some players prefer for a cleaner look on predator mounts. The unequipped state has no stat penalty in the patch notes. The same option also applies to the reins accessory introduced in 1.07.

Other special-mount species (mountain goats, deer, kuku birds, iguanas, camels, warthogs) have their own saddles stocked across the saddlery network. See Special Mounts for the full species-to-saddlery mapping and Saddleries for the saddlery directory.
