Palumba stands out as a ground mount built around speed, with its Samba Step ability giving it a major advantage whenever you’re travelling across grass.
Once equipped with its saddle, Palumba can be ridden and gains a substantial movement speed boost on grassy terrain, making it particularly effective for fast exploration.
If you’re looking for a mount that can tear across grassy areas without relying on flight, Palumba offers a specialized option worth considering.

The Palumba Saddle becomes available when your character reaches Level 35, costing 3 Technology Points to unlock.
Palumba Saddle requires the following materials:
- 30 Leather
- 30 Cloth
- 30 Ingot

Palumba Saddle Effects
Samba Step allows you to ride Palumba while increasing its movement speed by 155% when mounted on grass, giving the Partner Skill a strong terrain-specific effect.
The bonus increases with Palumba’s condensation, reaching 175%, 195%, 215%, and 240% across the five Partner Skill levels for significantly faster movement.
This makes the saddle’s primary effect a substantial speed increase that activates specifically while Palumba is travelling across grassy terrain, rather than everywhere.
Palumba Uses
Palumba’s Partner Skill is especially useful for travelling through grassy regions, where the movement bonus lets you cover large stretches of terrain much more quickly.
The extra speed also makes it a great mount for simply messing around and racing through suitable locations, especially when you have plenty of open grass to work with.
Rather than being an all-purpose mobility option, Palumba is at its most entertaining when you deliberately take it somewhere that lets Samba Step reach its full potential.
Verdict
Palumba’s saddle is at its best when you’re racing across grassy areas, where Samba Step turns it into an extremely fast ground mount.
It can also make simply travelling around certain locations surprisingly fun, especially when you have wide stretches of grass to tear across at high speed.
If you enjoy fast ground travel and messing around with movement speed, Palumba is a particularly fun mount to have in your lineup.
