Bdo How To Use Horse Calculator

What is a BDO Horse Breeding Calculator?

A BDO horse breeding calculator is an essential tool for any player in Black Desert Online looking to get into horse training and breeding. This calculator helps you predict the possible outcomes when breeding two horses. By inputting the tier and level of the male and female horses, you can see the probabilities of getting a higher-tier foal. Understanding how to use a horse calculator is the key to efficiently producing high-tier horses like the prestigious Tier 8 or even a Dream Horse.

BDO Horse Breeding Formula and Explanation

The exact formula for BDO horse breeding is not public, but it’s based on a “grade” or “bracket” system determined by the parent horses’ tiers and levels. A higher combined level and tier of the parents will result in a better breeding bracket, which in turn increases the chances of getting a higher-tier foal. Our calculator uses a data-driven approach based on thousands of community-submitted breeding results to provide the most accurate predictions. The Training Mastery and Breeding Rate also play a role in the final outcome.

Breeding Variables
Variable	Meaning	Unit	Typical Range
Parent Tier	The tier of the parent horses.	Tier	1 – 8
Parent Level	The level of the parent horses.	Level	1 – 30
Training Mastery	Your character’s Training Life Skill Mastery.	%	0 – 2000+
Breeding Rate	A server-wide or event-based buff to breeding.	%	0 – 35

Practical Examples

Example 1: You want to breed a Tier 5 Male at level 20 with a Tier 5 Female at level 20. Your Training Mastery is 500, and there is a 10% breeding rate event. The BDO horse breeding calculator will show you the chances of getting a Tier 6, Tier 7, or even a Tier 8 foal.

Example 2: You have a Tier 3 Male at level 15 and a Tier 4 Female at level 15. The calculator will help you determine if it’s worth leveling them up further to increase your chances of getting a higher tier horse. You can learn more about horse training strategies at our Horse Stable guide.

Key Factors That Affect BDO Horse Breeding

Parent Tiers and Levels: The most crucial factor. Higher tiers and levels give better results.
Training Mastery: A higher mastery increases the chance of getting a higher-tier horse.
Breeding Rate: Event-based or server-wide buffs can significantly improve your odds.
Horse Deaths: While not included in this basic calculator, some theories suggest that horse deaths can negatively impact breeding results.
Color Theory: A more advanced concept where the color values of the parents can influence the foal’s coat and tier.
RNG: At the end of the day, there is always a random element involved in horse breeding. For more information on horse skills, visit our Horse Skills guide.

FAQ

How do I increase my Training Mastery?

You can increase your Training Mastery by leveling up your Training life skill, wearing Trainer’s Clothes, and using accessories like the Manos Trainer’s Clothes.

What is the highest horse tier I can get from breeding?

The highest tier you can obtain through regular breeding is Tier 8. Tier 9 (Dream Horses) and Tier 10 (Mythical Horses) have their own special awakening process.

Does the horse’s coat matter?

For basic breeding, the coat is not a primary factor. However, for those following “color theory,” the color values of the parents are important for getting a specific coat on the foal.

Can I breed a horse with 0 breeds left?

No, a horse with 0 breeds cannot be used for breeding. However, you can use a “Breed Reset” item from the Pearl Shop to restore one breeding attempt.

Where can I find my Training Mastery?

You can find your Training Mastery in your character profile window (P) under the “Life Skills” tab.

Is it better to level my horses to 30 before breeding?

Not necessarily. There are “sweet spots” for breeding where the time and effort to level up a horse further don’t justify the small increase in breeding chances. Our calculator helps you find the optimal levels. You can also track your horses in our Horse Stable.

What is an Imperial Steed?

An Imperial Steed is a special horse you can obtain from breeding, which can be sold to an Imperial Crafting Delivery NPC for a large amount of silver and special seals.

How accurate is this calculator?

This calculator is based on extensive community data and provides a highly accurate prediction of your breeding outcomes. However, remember that RNG always plays a role. For more detailed stats, see the Horse Stat Rating page.
