Saddle

The Saddle is a Tool item that must be used to mount a Beefalo for riding. It is crafted at the Alchemy Engine with 4 Pig Skins, 4 Gold Nuggets and 4 Beefalo Wool.
Before saddling a Beefalo, players must feed it Vegetables or Fruit (typically Light Bulbs, Cut Grass, or Twigs) to raise its obedience to the desired level (10% per item, max 100%). In it's a good idea to also bond with the beefalo using a Beefalo Bell before saddling. If the Beefalo's obedience is below 10%, it will reject any attempt to saddle it and attack the player. Below 40% obedience it will quickly shake the saddle off. Obedience must be at least 50% to allow riding.
Saddles only lose durability when a Beefalo's obedience drops below 40% and it shakes the saddle off. A Saddlehorn is the only way to manually remove a saddle and it does so without losing saddle durability.
See Beefalo#Domestication for more complete riding and domestication information.
== War Saddle ==
The War Saddle is a variant of the normal Saddle that can be shaken off by a disobedient beefalo 8 times instead of 5. It has a 25% speed increase instead of 40%, and adds 16 bonus damage to melee attacks made while riding the Beefalo. It requires 4 live Rabbits, 10 Logs, and 4 Steel Wool to craft, and an Alchemy Engine to prototype. In Don't Starve: Reign of Giants the bonus damage from the War Saddle will only be effective if the player either has nothing equipped in the hand slot, or has one of a limited number of items equipped, such as a Lantern or Umbrella. For a complete list of items that will deal increased damage while riding a War Saddle, see the main article on Beefalo.
== Glossamer Saddle ==
The Glossamer Saddle is a variant of the normal Saddle that can be crafted using 2 Living Logs, 4 Silk and 68 Butterfly Wings. It requires an Alchemy Engine to prototype. This saddle allows a 55% riding speed above the base speed of the Beefalo (vs. 40% for a regular Saddle).
== Battle Saddle ==
The Battle Saddle is a variant of the normal Saddle exclusive to Don't Starve Together. It can only be crafted by Wigfrid after unlocking the Battle Saddle Skill and needs 4 Gold Nuggets, 3 Marbles and 6 Azure Feathers to craft. This saddle allows a 30% riding speed above the base speed of the Beefalo (vs. 40% for a regular Saddle), and adds 5 bonus damage to melee attacks made while riding the Beefalo, and 40% protection for the Beefalo. It can be shaken off by a disobedient Beefalo 6 times before it breaks.

== Tips ==
* A War Saddle brings Ornery Beefalo attack damage to a whopping 66 points, almost equaling the 68 damage of the Dark Sword without having to worry about sanity drain or durability. However, a Glossamer Saddle offsets the slowness, making it easier to kite with.
* The 25 damage delivered by a Rider or 20 by a Pudgy Beefalo may not be enough to kill the Ewecus to obtain steel wool to make a War Saddle. Plan accordingly.
* Obtaining the Butterfly Wings for a Glossamer Saddle can be a lengthy process complicated by spoilage.
** A Construction Amulet is recommended (if available) to halve the cost of the Glossamer Saddle. Using a Construction Amulet and Deconstruction Staff on a Glossamer Saddle is a way to multiply Butterfly Wings for food and health, though the saddle must remain above 50% durability if used prior to deconstruction.
** Seven or eight Bug Nets are needed to catch more than 68 Butterflies. The extra are required since butterflies have a one in a fifty chance to drop Butter instead of wings.
** If keeping the butterflies alive, make sure to have a few Berries on hand to feed them until it is time to kill them. Murdering them all at once in inventory will give the player enough Naughtiness to immediately summon Krampus. Do this carefully and away from base.
** Killing the butterflies as you catch them allows Naughtiness to decrease between murders, but care should still be taken if summoning Krampus is not your goal. An Ice Box will double the spoilage time of the wings, and a Bundling Wrap or Gift Wrap will prevent spoilage altogether. They cannot be placed inside a Salt Box.
== Trivia ==
* Saddles were first introduced to Don't Starve Together. They were later added to Don't Starve in the Quality of Life update.
* Saddles are considered to be part of A New Reign, even though they were introduced before the official start of the beta branch.
* The Glossamer Saddle is the first item in the game that requires Butterfly Wings as a crafting ingredient, in keeping with the word from which it likely derives its name, gossamer
* The Battle Saddle was introduced in the Skill Spotlight: Wigfrid & Willow beta update.
