- Description:
Rubin says to become the best herald ever, you must possess the ability to deliver news in a speedy yet accurate fashion. Let's take a lesson on speed and accuracy from Shamhain.

※ This is a timed quest with goals that must be completed within the time frame.
※ The time frame includes the time it takes to speak to the NPC to finish the quest.
※ If you weren't able to finish in time, talk to the Rubin to reaccept the quest.

Hmm? Rubin told you to find me?
Hehe, just like old times.
Fine. I'll administer the same training to you that Rubin underwent.
It's quite simple, actually. Just tame a horse and return it to me within the time limit.
Like I said, simple right?
That's what Rubin said at first. Anyway, speak to me when you're ready to begin.
※ Talk to Shamhain and press the "[Timed Quest]" prompt to start the timer.
Complete the task and return to Shamhain before the timer expires.

Quickly now.
You don't have a lot of time!

Amazing! Not only did you succeed,
but you broke Rubin's record in the process!
Hmm... maybe I should've kept that to myself.
Anyway, congratulations! You've passed this test as well.

Closest is Tungrad Forest, the horses are literally right on the road at the node.

The closest location of the wild horses is near the Stonebeak Shore. See the screenshots tab.
To complete this quest you'll need a fast horse with a Sprint skill learned.
First go to the location of the horses, find them and place a mark on the map for the reference. Then go to Shamhain, mount your horse and talk to him from the horse back to start the timer. Use the red path from the screenshot and ride to the horses by going through two bridges.

Once you'll catch the horse you'll have to ride it back to Shamhain. New horses are slow, so be sure to be sure to drive it back manually, holding shift key all the time.

Just a tip that worked for me: once you have succesfully tamed the horse, ride it, dismount it and just run back to Shamhain to complete the quest. It seems you don't need to ride the tamed horse back to Shamhain, just need to tame. If you want to register the horse, wait just a little and the new horse will come to you to the stable location.

I don't know if it was changed since you did it or not, but i did it in February 2023 and it's not possible to dismount the horse. Usually you can dismount, but during this quest you can't.

I've just done it and completed the quest as I said on the 7th February 2023

Interesting. Maybe my inability to dismount was a bug then. In such case you can just hop back on your old horse and get back to Shamhain, I guess. This makes the whole quest ridiculously easy though.

I have the same issue, I cannot dismount a tamed horse until it either gets registered at a stable or it dies (I am trying this right now as an option to complete the quest in time). No matter what I press, I cannot get off the horse. I can't even open the map, not a single button works except opening the inventory. Even ESC -> Escape just puts me back on the horse again.

*UPDATE*

I was able to finish the quest. This is how I had to do it:

* I took the quest, sprinted my way to Tungrad Forest to the road where the horses move around (it was the easiest spot to actually find horses quickly, the spots east and north were too random).

*I captured a wild horse, hopped on it, and then headed straight northeast-north to the cliff and rode the tamed horse into the water. I then tried using ESC -> Escape, but it just says "You cannot do this right now" - WTF??

* I then swam across the river and climbed up where the entrance to that Manes Hideout cave is. There I called my horse and sprinted my way back to the quest NPC Shamshain (who cannot be found by NPC search by the way, which is really dumb - like this entire quest). I had around 10 seconds left on the clock with some rage hiccups in between because of how stupid this quest is.
