Dawnspur

The Dawnspur were bred for riding by Ancient Human nobility. They have recently returned from supposed extinction, and are now found roaming the Royal Highlands. The Dawnspur is one of several Mounts available to the player in Palia. Dawnspurs are a previously-extinct breed of horse inspired by the American Quarterhorse.

What it produces 5

Rule — Animals at the Baby or Venerated Age do not produce items or breed. Adult animals will produce specific items based on the species, each with a limit on how many they can carry. Item production is affected by the animals overall happiness as well as how many of the same species you have. If you’re over the species cap, it will slow down production of items. Production, happiness and focus are explained in the Ranching guide.

All Dawnspurs, once reaching Young Adult or further in age, will begin producing various fertilizers. This includes WeedBlock Fertilizer, HydratePro Fertilizer, SpeedyGro Fertilizer, HarvestBoost Fertilizer, and QualityUp Fertilizer.

While the Dawnspur produces the same items as the Akwinduu Thoroughbred, the Dawnspur makes them in higher quantity, but lower quality.

Traits

Dawnspurs can have a variety of traits that influence their happiness, focus, production speed, lifespan, and riding traits exclusive to ridable mounts. Traits can be inherited through breeding or discovered when purchasing new Dawnspurs.
