Round-2 cleanup: typos, schema-leak vendor names, 'Bronze Coins' currency, regen unit phrasing
Horseshoes crafted using Delesyia's precision engineering. Their machine refined curves ensure a perfect, seamless fit against the horse's hooves.

Steelheart Horseshoes can be purchased from Saddlery Vendors in later-game regions of Pywel for a base price of 1,220 silver. As a Tier 4 (Epic) item, availability may be limited to saddleries in more advanced areas. Look for them at:
Delesyian Main Saddlery (near Finhold Netmakers, south of the Delesyian Institute): fitting, given the Delesyian origins of these horseshoes.
Tommaso Saddlery (center of Tommaso Town).
Varnia Saddlery (near Alabaster Bridge entrance).
Merchant trust plays a role in unlocking higher-tier items. Building trust through daily greetings, completing requests, and gifting items can help unlock Epic-tier stock at saddleries that initially only carry lower-tier gear.
The Steelheart Horseshoes originate from Delesyia, the technological heart of Pywel. Delesyia stands at the forefront of science and technology on the continent, where ancient alchemy meets cutting-edge engineering. The "precision engineering" and "machine-refined curves" described in the horseshoe's design reflect the region's industrial innovation, driven by the genius of the inventor Marni. Unlike hand-forged horseshoes from other regions, the Steelheart design uses mechanical precision to ensure a seamless fit against the horse's hooves.
Steelheart Horseshoes provide +5 Attack and +4 Stamina regeneration per tick, identical to the Bow Knot Horseshoes. Both are Tier 4 (Epic) options costing 1,220 silver, so the choice between them is cosmetic. The Steelheart variant features Delesyian engineering while the Bow Knot variant uses traditional Pailunese silverwork.
At this tier, the +4 Stamina regeneration per tick makes a substantial difference during extended gallops and mounted combat encounters. Players who frequently engage in horseback battles will benefit from the combined Attack and endurance bonuses.
For maximum performance, the Four-Leaf Horseshoes (Tier 5, Legendary) offer +8 Attack and +5 Stamina regeneration at 5,410 silver, representing the ultimate horseshoe upgrade.
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.

The Steelheart Horseshoes are hidden in a concealed room near the Gate of Peace in Region's Rise. The fastest approach is from the fast travel point just right of the Diminish golf course. The entire trip usually takes under two minutes once you know the route.
Fast travel to the point nearest Region's Rise, just east of the Diminish golf course.
Ride your horse west and then toward the Gate of Peace. The direct route cuts across open ground, no set path is required. Avoid the low tree branches, they can snag the horse and stagger you.
Ignore the flying patrol robots in the area. Unlike the heavily guarded zone marked in orange on the main map, this stretch does not aggro and the crows in nearby regions do not reach you here.
Continue until you reach a small stone bridge.
Dismount on the bridge and jump down to the riverbed underneath.
On the underside of the bridge wall, a hidden passage is visible from below. Climb up to it.
Hold the left trigger to brace, then use Force Palm on the wall to smash through.
Drop down into the concealed room. The Steelheart Horseshoes are inside the chest there.
This is one of the rare legendary items that has no boss fight and no quest requirement. You can collect the Steelheart Horseshoes the moment you reach the area, and the passive regen they provide is strong enough that most players treat this as a mandatory early game pickup. See How to Replenish Horse Stamina for how the +4/second regen interacts with other stamina sources.
