== Description ==
''Horses like this one have many uses.''

'''Horse''' is a rideable [[animal]] primarily found on [[Terrain:Steppe|steppe]] or [[Grass tiles|grass]] land. Wild horses (those that spawn somewhere in the wild) are grey. Bred horses come in one of 5 known colour types: black, white, grey, brown, gold.

Being mounted provides a very substantial advantage in combat. It is usually much easier to kill a strong opponent when riding. In addition, mounts are unaffected by the rider's [[stamina]] and [[health]], which makes it possible to retreat from combat even with low stamina or critical wounds. Riding a fast mount is often the only way of successfully escaping some of the faster mobs (like aged [[troll]]s or [[crocodile]]s). This is especially true when carrying loads above a bare minimum, because horses are not slowed as much as players are when carrying a lot.

They can be [[lead]] by anybody without being tamed, but they are [[Mounts|ride-able]] only with 21 [[Body Control]]. Horses can be [[tame]]d with [[seeds]] and some [[vegetable]]s. However, as mobs attack tamed mounts before the rider and horses do not withstand much damage, it's usually wise to ride them untamed (to untame simply tame another animal).

Horses can be ridden up and down a straight 30 slope ramp or anywhere the sum of two neighbouring sides of a tile do not exceed 30.

One or two Horses can be used to pull a [[large cart]].

== Speed ==
If the speed of a horse slows suddenly and without a weight or terrain increase - the horse is mostly likely needing to graze. Get off and lead the horse to [[grass]] tiles. It should graze and then speed should be back to normal.

A horse without speed affecting traits or equipment will have a max speed of ~18 kph (when riding it). Riding speed is completely unaffected by terrain type. It is the same everywhere on and off-road. [[Saddle]]s and [[horse shoe]]s will raise the maximum speed. A horse's gear can only be accessed or changed when tamed, and only by the tamer. When riding down 20+ slopes the rider will not receive wounds like when walking, and mounts will go neither up nor down slopes over a certain max, so it can be wise to ride to avoid falling off mountains.

Any [[Animal husbandry|traits]], the horse's [[hunger]], [[terrain]] steepness (uphill only) and the rider's [[inventory]] [[weight]] can affect the speed of the horse when riding.

== Bred Horses ==
Bred horses have individual (but not unique) [[horse names|names]] randomly chosen at birth. They can have traits affecting their speed and other [[animal conditions|characteristics]].

Bred horses have 2 [[foal]] stages (young foal and adolescent foal) before they grow to young horses. All foals are bred, not wild.

== Traits ==
Speed related traits will turn on and off at random intervals by design. See [[Animal husbandry#Traits|animal husbandry]] for a full list.
*'''"It has fleeter movement than normal."''' - This trait is known to create a small speed boost.
*'''"It has lightning movement."''' - This causes a much higher speed boost.
*'''"It can carry more than average." ''' - The rider's inventory will affect the horse's speed less.
*'''"It has very strong leg muscles." ''' - Slopes affect the horses speed less.
*'''"The legs are of different length." ''' - This causes a very severe speed penalty.

Improving Guide

Tedrick: /* Hints and Tips */

==General==
Improving is the ability to increase an item's [[quality]] on success. However on failure you will damage the item and you must then [[Repairing|repair]] it to continue improving. The quality increases by small amounts with each success or decreases when you repair after damaging the item. As the item's [[quality]] reaches the maximum you are able to produce (based on skill and equipment) you will begin to fail more often than succeed.

==Basic Tools==
This is a list of all the tools used for improving. Note that each skill area requires their own tools so, for example, lumps are used in smithing and chisels are used in masonry.

*[[Plank]]
*[[Mallet]]
*[[Log]]
*[[Carving Knife]]
*[[File|Iron File]]*
*[[Rock Shards]]
*[[Iron Stone Chisel]]*
*[[Lump]]*
*[[Pelt]]*
*[[Iron Hammer]]*
*[[Whetstone]]*
*[[Water]]

Items noted with a <nowiki>*</nowiki> might take longer to make or find than some of the others.

==Hints and tips==
*Look at the improvement column in your inventory to quickly see what you need to do next

*Always use tools or items that are a higher quality than the item you want to improve.

*If you start to fail a lot, and are losing quality, it is usually a good idea to stop and maybe try later with better tools and/or higher skill.

*Your skill (and equipment) affects the maximum quality you can reach - don't try to push it too far!

*Improving takes time, make sure you have enough food & water for how long you intend to improve.

==How to improve==
To improve an items all you have to do is:

#Examine the item you want to improve to see what is needed (EG:/ log, chisel etc...)
#Activate the improvement item or tool
#Repair your item if needed.
#Right click -> Improve

==Improving Bonuses==
Usually when improving something, your skill will raise faster than with item creation.

It is a good idea to concentrate on certain items for certain skills such as a [[Statue]] for [[Masonry]] or a [[Wooden Fence]] for Carpentry

[[Category:Guides]]
[[Category:Babel/I]]

==Hints and Tips==
*[[Wooden fences]] and walls can be improved with planks.
*You must use a higher ql item to improve an item. You can not improve a 20ql mallet with a 1ql [[log]].
*Fences can be improved with out having to repair them.
*Only raw materials must have a greater ql than the item your are repairing, tools do not need to be higher ql.
*Ask fellow players for a spare pelt when starting out. Be nice!
*Trade for a pelt using the trader, use multiple [[clay jar]]s to barter with. Remember to fire them first!

}}

== Description ==
A large kiln-like [[pile]] made from [[log]] and covered in [[dirt]]. The purpose is to turn the logs into [[tar]], [[ash]], and [[charcoal]].

== Usage ==
After finished, light the pile. The pile will slowly damage and create [[charcoal]], [[tar]] and [[ash]]. A pile will burn for one to two days, accumulating charcoal over time. The higher the QL, the longer the pile will burn. The pile products can be removed at any time without harm to further [[charcoal]], [[tar]] and [[ash]] production.

== Hint ==
[[Kindling]] QL affects the chance of creating a [[Charcoal pile]]. [[Log]] QL does not affect the chance of creating a pile. <br>
However, log QL and [[dirt]] QL will affect the rate of increase in QL of the pile, according to your coal-making skill.
A QL 20 pile will yield approximately 14 of [[tar]], [[coal]] and [[ash]].
