Project Gorgon Horse Event Guide: Horse Thieves

The Horse Thieves event in Project Gorgon is a timed world event that spawns twice per in game day and rewards mount related items if you clear it. It appears at 1 AM and 1 PM in game time and despawns 11 in game hours later. If you want Horse Apple Seedlings and horse progression items, this is the event to farm.

It is simple once you understand the timing. Show up on time, defeat the thieves, collect your rewards, and repeat.

Horse Thieves Spawn Times And Duration

Horse Thieves spawn at:

1 AM in game time
1 PM in game time

After spawning, the event remains active for 11 in game hours. That equals 55 real world minutes. If players do not clear the event in that window, it despawns until the next scheduled time.

If you plan to farm it, keep an eye on the in game clock. Missing the window means waiting for the next cycle.

What Happens During The Event

When the event begins, a group of horse thieves appears in the area. The species of the thieves depends on the region where the event is active.

Your objective is straightforward. Defeat all the horse thieves.

Once the thieves are killed, a group of Wild Horses spawns. This signals that the event has been successfully completed. The horses appear automatically after the thieves are cleared.

There are no special triggers or items required. Just defeat the thieves before the timer runs out.

Horse Thieves Event Rewards

Participating in the event grants guaranteed and possible drops.

Guaranteed reward:

2 to 3 Horse Apple Seedlings

Possible additional drops:

Horse Breeds A Primer
Horse Aphrodisiac
Horse Ruby
The Traits of a Mount

These items tie directly into horse breeding, mount traits, and related progression systems. If you are investing in mounts, this event provides steady value.

Where Horse Thieves Appear

Horse Thieves events appear in multiple regions. The enemy types change depending on location.

Some versions feature lower level enemies, while others involve higher level creatures. Stronger versions can drop the same mount related items along with higher level loot.

If you are farming efficiently, choose a location that matches your current power level. Clear speed is more important than challenge.

Best Way To Clear Horse Thieves

Efficiency is key because the event is on a fixed timer.

Arrive shortly before 1 AM or 1 PM in game time
Use a build that handles groups well
Focus on eliminating thieves quickly
Stay aware of nearby players to speed up clears

Area damage helps since multiple enemies spawn at once. The faster the thieves go down, the faster the Wild Horses appear and rewards are secured.

If other players are present, the event becomes much easier and faster to complete.

Is Horse Thieves Worth Farming

Yes, if you care about mounts, horse breeding, or related crafting systems. The Horse Apple Seedlings alone make it a consistent resource event.

If mounts are not part of your current goals, you can skip it without hurting progression. But for players building out their riding systems, this is one of the most reliable timed sources of horse materials.

Watch the clock, show up prepared, and clear it fast. The thieves do not wait around, and neither should you.
