[color]Voltarion's Tale

Voltarion, imbued with the power of lightning, is a descendant of Narc, the ancient spirit of rain, and a godchild blessed by Krogdalo.

With the speed of light, Voltarion could surge across the land, running faster than anyone else.

As none could match its speed, Voltarion developed a fiercely independent nature, allowing only those it deemed worthy to stand by its side.

Voltarion cherished solitary exploration of this world, driven by an insatiable desire to tread uncharted paths. One day, it resolved to embark on a new endeavor: to leap through space using its light-speed prowess.

Though it succeeded in traversing the realms, Voltarion found itself trapped between spaces, slowly fading from the world's memory as it lingered in the darkness.

After a long trek through the deep shadows, Voltarion emerged, yet the world had changed beyond recognition, leaving it to continue its quest.

People have discovered traces of lightning across the land, heralding the return of the long-forgotten Voltarion to the world.[/color]

[h2][color]New Dream Horse Voltarion[/color][/h2]

• Upon breaking free from the confines of space and time, the world of Black Desert felt the electrifying presence of the lightning steed, Voltarion.
  
• With unparalleled speed, Voltarion leaps across space, striking with lightning fury and descending to the ground in an instant. A swift and powerful steed, it brings devastating debuffs while surging into battle.
  
• Collect Traces of Thunderbolt to accept the quest from the Black Spirit and claim Voltarion as your own.
  

[h2][color]Voltarion's Stats[/color][/h2]
Voltarion's stats are as follows.

[expand] * As Voltarion levels up, its stats (Accel., Speed, Turn, Brake) mirror the growth of Arduanatt, Diné, and Doom, with a potential to increase up to 1.3% per level.[/expand]
[h2][color]How To Obtain Voltarion[/color][/h2]
Added "Trace of Thunderbolt," the item required to obtain Voltarion. Traces of Thunderbolt can be obtained from the following content.

[expand]

• War of the Roses
  
• Conquest War
  
• Node War (Unlimited)
  
• Black Shrine (Donghae) - Sangoon Calamity 8 - 10
  
• Black Shrine (Hwanghae) - Deposed Crown Prince (Hard)
  

[/expand]
[h2][color]Voltarion Acquisition Quest[/color][/h2]
Collect Trace of Thunderbolt x300 to accept a quest from the Black Spirit to obtain Voltarion. (Quest Type: General)

[expand]Prerequisite Quests

• [Voltarion] Where Lightning Converges (from the Black Spirit with Trace of Thunderbolt x300 in possession)
  
• [Voltarion] Forgotten Dream
  
• [Voltarion] To Paradise
  
• [Voltarion] Struck by Lightning
  
• [Voltarion] Let Thunder Roar
  

* If you collect another Trace of Thunderbolt x300 after completing the above quest, you can interact with the Water of Verti to obtain a Voltarion Horse Emblem through the [Repeat] [Voltarion] Lightning Strikes Again quest.[/expand]

* Voltarion cannot be registered on the Horse Market.
* Voltarion can be sold through Mount Sales and Imperial Delivery.
* If Voltarion attempts to enter castles surrounded by the Dekrogda relic barrier using Double Jump, Lightning Charge (Airborne), or Thunderfall (Airborne), it will be immediately affected by the Dekrogda relic's waves and fall, just like Mythical Arduanatt and Mythical Diné.
