11Overview22334455Priden is one of the five standard horse breeds in Crimson Desert. It features above-average health and stamina alongside excellent handling and jump power. According to its in-game Knowledge entry, Priden horses are famously gentle and do not run even when approached, making them one of the easiest breeds to tame.6677Thanks to its unique High Jump skill (unlocked at Trust Level 5), Priden excels in mountainous terrain like Pailune, where vertical movement is frequently required. When combined with Double Jump, Priden can clear gaps and vertical obstacles that would otherwise require dismounting and climbing on foot. This makes it the premier standard horse for exploration in areas with significant elevation changes.8899Base Stats10101111Priden has the following base stats at Trust Level 1. Its Evade stat of 60 and base Handling/Jump of 2 are the highest among standard breeds. Movement Speed starts at 1, making Priden slower on flat terrain than Brianto but far more capable in hilly or mountainous regions.12121313StatValueHealth400Stamina195Attack10Evade60Movement Speed1Attack Speed1Climb Speed Multiplier2Swim Speed Multiplier2Seats41414Level Progression15151616LevelHealthStaminaAttackEvadeMove SpeedAtk SpeedClimb SpeedSwim SpeedLv. 140019510601122Lv. 242021012631122Lv. 344022516662222Lv. 447024019692322Lv. 5520270237233341717Skills by Level18181919Priden's signature abilities are High Jump and Double Jump, both unlocked at Trust Level 5.

The following areas benefit heavily from Priden's jumping capabilities:44444545Silver Wolf Mountain: Steep cliffs and elevated resource nodes are much easier to reach with High Jump.Steel Mountains: The terrain around the Spire of Insight has many vertical shortcuts.Pailune Cliffs: The rocky terrain of Pailune is designed with vertical exploration in mind.Abyss Cresset locations: Many fast travel points sit on elevated platforms that High Jump can reach directly.46464747For flat terrain speed, Brianto or the legendary Royler are better choices. Priden is a specialist, not a general-purpose speed mount.48484949Leveling Your Priden50505151Horses gain Trust levels through three methods, listed from fastest to slowest:52525353Feeding: The fastest method. Give your horse food items like hay, sugar beets, oats, or apples while riding. Each feeding session grants substantial Trust experience.Caressing: Target your horse and press R to pet it. This grants free experience at no resource cost but has a daily cap on how many times it can be used.Riding: Passive experience earned from simply traveling on horseback. This is the slowest method but happens naturally during gameplay.54545555You can also invest Abyss Artifacts into the mount-related nodes on the Abyss Tree to improve base stats beyond what leveling and equipment provide.56565757Horse Equipment58585959Priden can be equipped with horse items at stables.
