Kingdom Come 2: Pebble or Herring, the Ultimate Crafting Dilemma

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, choosing between Pebbles and Herring as your trusty steed is a significant decision. While Herring initially boasts superior base stats, this advantage is deceptive. Each horse unlocks a perk boosting its stats after a certain riding distance.

Pebbles, obtainable at the Semine estate before the Semine-Agnes wedding, offers a compelling advantage. Her perk unlocks after a shorter distance (35 kilometers) compared to Herring's 50 kilometers. This means Pebbles' stats improve faster, making her a more practical choice for extensive travel. While not possessing the highest stats even after the boost, her boosted stats (217 stamina, 353 capacity, 53 speed, 12 courage) are still quite respectable. Furthermore, she's available at a lower cost than many other horses, and even free under certain circumstances. Her sentimental value as Henry's pre-game companion adds another layer to her appeal.

Herring, acquired after completing "For Whom the Bell Tolls," is a viable alternative, but his later stat boost comes at the cost of more riding time. You can even sell him to Kabat for 300 Groschen if you already have another horse.

Ultimately, Pebbles emerges as the superior choice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Her combination of affordability, quicker stat boost, decent stats, and sentimental value makes her a reliable and trustworthy companion for Henry's extensive journeys. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
