The Saddle is a Tool item exclusive to Don't Starve Together. It can be used to mount Beefalo and is crafted at the Alchemy Engine with 4 Pig Skins, 4 Gold Nuggets and 4 Beefalo Wool.

Main article: Beefalo#Transport

To mount a Beefalo, the Beefalo in question must first be tamed by feeding it Cut Grass, Cut Reeds, Twigs, or any Vegetable and Fruit. Afterwards the Saddle may be placed on the Beefalo to allow mounting. If a player attempts to saddle a Beefalo with obedience lower than 10%, it will reject the saddle and attack the player.

After some time being mounted, the Beefalo will eject the mounted player. No damage is inflicted to the player upon being dismounted, and the Beefalo can be mounted again immediately afterwards.

Tips

• Saddles only lose durability when tossed off by a Beefalo.
• War Saddles are best used on Ornery Beefalo, as they do more attack damage.
• A Saddlehorn can be used to remove a Saddle from a Beefalo without loss of durability.
• Since obtaining the Butterfly Wings can be a lengthy process complicated by spoilage, it is recommended that the player first craft seven or eight Bug Nets and collect the Butterflies live, making sure to have a stack of Berries on hand to feed the Butterflies until it is time to kill them. Once the player has enough Butterflies, they may kill them in the inventory. Since the Butterflies have a one in fifty chance to drop Butter instead of wings, the player may want to catch extra Butterflies. It is worth noting that this method only gives the player one point of Naughtiness per stack killed, rather than one Naughtiness point per Butterfly.
  • It should also be noted that because of the extreme cost of the Glossamer Saddle, a Construction Amulet is recommended. Using a Construction Amulet and Deconstruction Staff can greatly multiply the number of Butterfly Wings, which is useful as they are a great food and health source.
  • When wrapped in Bundling Wrap or Gift Wrap, perishable items do not spoil. This can be used to a players' advantage to keep older Butterfly Wings fresh.

Trivia

• Saddles are considered to be part of A New Reign, even though they were introduced before the official start of the beta branch.
• The War Saddle is the first item to require Steel Wool as a crafting ingredient.
• The Glossamer Saddle is the first and only item in the game that requires Butterfly Wings as a crafting ingredient.
