How to Obtain
Bow Knot Horseshoes can be purchased from Saddlery Vendors in higher-level regions of Pywel. At a base cost of 1,220 silver, they are a significant investment. As a Tier 4 (Epic) item, they may not appear at every saddlery. Look for them at saddleries in later-game regions such as:
Delesyian Main Saddlery (near Finhold Netmakers, south of the Delesyian Institute).
Tommaso Saddlery (center of Tommaso Town).
Varnia Saddlery (near Alabaster Bridge entrance).
Building merchant trust to higher levels may also unlock Epic-tier horseshoes at saddleries that do not initially stock them. Trust increases through daily greetings (+5 per day), completing merchant requests, and gifting items like coin pouches.
Lore
The Bow Knot Horseshoes are crafted from Pailune's distinctive silver, a material known for its malleable yet durable properties. Pailune is the northern icy region of Pywel, where knot-based craftsmanship holds cultural significance. The bow knot design is not purely decorative; it serves a functional purpose by dissipating ground impact force across a wider area, reducing stress on the horse's hooves during gallops over uneven terrain.
Usage Tips
With +5 Attack and +4 Stamina regeneration per tick, Bow Knot Horseshoes are among the strongest horseshoes available. They share identical stats with Steelheart Horseshoes (also Tier 4, Epic), so the choice between them is a matter of availability and aesthetic preference.
The Stamina regeneration bonus of +4 per tick significantly extends your horse's galloping range, making these horseshoes particularly valuable for long-distance travel and exploration across Pywel. In mounted combat, the +5 Attack bonus provides a notable increase to damage dealt while fighting from horseback.
The only horseshoe that surpasses them is the Four-Leaf Horseshoes (Tier 5, Legendary), which provides +8 Attack and +5 Stamina regeneration but at a much higher cost of 5,410 silver.
How to Equip
To equip horseshoes, stand near your active horse and open your inventory. Switch to the horse inventory tab (press R2 on controller) to view your mount's five gear slots: Saddle, Horseshoes, Stirrups, Champron, and Barding. Select the horseshoe item and click Equip to apply it. You can also access the horse inventory through the Lantern button menu while riding.
