Project Gorgon Horse Apple Guide: How to Get It and Use Them
Horse Apple is a low tier food item with niche value in Project Gorgon. The short answer is that Horse Apple is mainly used for taming Wild Horses, with a few minor side uses in crafting and race skills. Outside of horse taming, it is not something most players eat regularly or stockpile in large amounts.
If you are working toward Riding or interacting with wild horses, this item suddenly matters. Otherwise, it is safe to treat it as situational rather than core progression food.
What Horse Apple Is Used For
Horse Apple has one primary purpose that makes it worth knowing.
Used to tame Wild Horses
That alone is why players seek it out. Without Horse Apple, you cannot tame horses even if you have the Riding skill unlocked.
It also has a few limited secondary uses tied to specific skills.
Used in some Fae race skill interactions
Used in Ice Conjuration recipes
These uses are real but niche, and most players encounter Horse Apple for horses first.
How To Get Horse Apple
Horse Apple is not commonly found in the world as loot.
The main and reliable method is Gardening.
Grown using Horse Apple Seedlings
Requires Gardening level 6
Once planted and harvested, you will have a steady personal supply. There are no standard monster drops or quest rewards tied to this item.
Can You Eat Horse Apple
Yes, but you probably should not.
Horse Apple provides small Health Regen and Power Regen for 1 hour. It counts as a low level meal and is flagged as basically inedible for a reason. The stats are weak and it is outclassed quickly by other foods.
Most players never consume it unless experimenting or roleplaying.
Gifting And Selling
Horse Apple can be gifted, but it has an effective value that differs from its listed value when used for favor.
That said, it is rarely an efficient favor item. Selling it also provides almost no councils, so its value is not economic.
If you have extras, keep a small stack and ignore the rest.
When Horse Apple Is Worth Keeping
Horse Apple is worth keeping only in specific situations.
You plan to tame Wild Horses
You are preparing for Riding related content
You actively use Fae or Ice Conjuration
Outside of that, it does not need dedicated storage space.
Final Notes On Horse Apples
Horse Apple is a classic Project Gorgon item. It looks useless until it suddenly is not. Treat it as a functional tool, not a food or money item, and it will never clutter your inventory or confuse your progression.
