Bannerlord Endurance Perks: Riding¶

This perk tree mostly focuses on increasing your combat effectiveness while on horseback, but can also provide advantages for the campaign map. For example, the level 150 perk, ‘Horse Grooming’, improves horse farm production by 50%, allowing you to breed horses more quickly that you can either sell or incorporate into your army. You can also slightly increase the carrying capacity of your pack animals, and eventually increase the movement speed of your own horse and your cavalry on the battlefield. The tree also offers a perk which reduces the chance of your horses becoming lame when injured, an invaluable trait for a cavalry based force.
