Description

These are said to bring luck! Apart from improving horse speed and safety, of course.

Horseshoes are U-shaped metal items which can be equipped on horse's hooves to help it move faster.

Can be made of any metal.

Can be worn by

• Horse
• Hell horse
• Unicorn (can only wear gold or silver horseshoes)

Equipping

• Tame or brand the animal you want to put the horseshoe(s) on to.
• Right click the animal and choose look>equipment.
• Open the Torso, Legs, and Forelegs.
• Drag and drop a individual horseshoe to each hoof.

Note: Horseshoes MUST be cold before putting them on!

Speed Boost

Horseshoes increase the speed of a horse. How much speed is gained is a factor of:

• QL of the horseshoe
• the casted power of Wind of Ages or Blessings of the dark
• the rarity of the shoe

The effects of each of these factors is additive.

Due to how Wurm math works, it is not easy to relate how much speed boost is given by each factor. But the overarching idea is the higher the QL of each shoe, the higher the enchantment power of each WoA or BoTD cast, and the rarer each shoe is, the faster the horse will move.

Notes

• Horseshoes are damaged with every step the horse takes while mounted. Horseshoes are not damaged on horses being led.
