This is correct. For example you can win a Nyx from the actual competition and you can win a Nyx from the spinning wheel. So two separate locations and it is because of that I am assuming they put two Nyxs.

Cakes!

The contest is based on the same principle as previously, but there have been changes to simplify it.

The jackpots are Fairycake and Cupcake, first pair of divines of the new Pastry divines series.

Concept:

The aim of this event is to collect ingredients and use them to bake cakes in order to obtain the gifts or ingredients they bring.

Some cakes bring items, some bring ingredients and some (the Cupcake) fill a gauge to reach the divine.

At certain points during the event, players have the opportunity to buy packs of ingredients on the Black Market.


How does it work?



Obtaining Ingredients
The player collects ingredients:
at the first connection
by completing daily objectives
by baking them
with packs of ingredients on the Black Market at specific moments


[NEW] by recycling the divine ingredient (the cupcake) to obtain butter


Baking Cupcakes

The player bakes a cake by putting 2 ingredients in the bowl.

[NEW: there are recipes with two of the same ingredient]

They see which item is obtained with this potion and they validate to brew it or cancel it to try another recipe.

Discovering a recipe for the first time unlocks it. Unlocked recipes (+ how many times you made them and how long they take) can be seen on the gifts page. There is a new horse breed in the gifts.


[NEW] After a few days of contest, all recipes are unlocked for everyone on the gifts page.

The cakes take some time to bake, and it increases every time you make this recipe again.


Boosters reduce the baking time by 2 hours. (Boosters can be obtained at the first connection, with the daily objectives, bought, won in the collections)
The player has 3 bowls and can bake 3 cakes simultaneously.

Daily Objectives

At the beginning there are 2 daily objectives that bring ingredients and gifts for the contest, and if they reach the Community goal of baking enough cakes, they unlock a third daily objective.


The Divines

You need to bake the divine ingredient: cupcakes.
Every time you take a cupcake out of the oven, 1 point is added to the divine gauge.
You first start with Cupcake which requires 50 cupcakes.
Once you have obtained him, you can progress further and obtain Fairycake (which also requires 50 cupcakes).

Collections

The collections include the ingredients you have to bake yourself and give additional gifts.

Changes since last time

- You can make a cake with twice the same ingredient (eggs + eggs, butter+butter). The result is another ingredient.

- You don’t need to make a recipe with the divine ingredient anymore. Once you get one (cupcake) it automatically fills the gauge to obtain the divine horse.

- You can recycle a cupcake into butter if you change your mind and don’t want to play for the divine anymore

- You need to prepare Cupcakes to fill the gauge for the divine horses

Cupcake & Fairycake


With this contest, we introduce a brand new divine series: the Pastry Divines!

They always come in pairs: 1 male divine, 1 female divine. Both are a version of a specific pastry.

For the first pair, we have Cupcake and Fairycake.

How They Work

They increase the chances to find sugar with your other horses during their actions (with each additional Pastry horse, the chances increase – it cumulates).

Their skills can be increased with diamonds.

If you own both, you can make a covering offer with the stallion to the mare. The baby of this covering will be a foal from the same region as the pastry.

Every morning when she wakes up, the mare gives sugar pearls that fill a gauge. The fuller the gauge is at the time of the covering, the higher the inborn skills of the foal will be.

CupcakeFairycake

Breeding will be unlimited with Cupcake and Fairycake. Also there will be an offer of cupcakes in the TC at all levels ( much like the treats we had at Halloween) The special will also be "" buy one pack of 6 ingredients (from the first 6), 1 Cupcake and 12 boosters for only 1 pass for the cake event!"". So when buying the pack you get a cupcake that will go toward getting the two divines. It seems to me that is will be one of the most reasonable promos offered this year so far.

The Tyron games come first then the pastry promo.

Alebrijes Piñatas

The contest is based on the same principle as previously, but with a few changes. The theme is based on “Alebrijes”, those brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures.

Concept
Players click piñatas to open them and receive the prizes inside. The more they progress, the more interesting the prizes get.

This time, the Piñatas represent Alebrijes.


Jackpots

#20: Midir from the Celtic divines
#16: A Falabella: Tiny

Changes since last time:
A meter on the contest page displays the number of clicks left and evolves according to the “recharge time” and the total number of clicks available (which are reduced/increased as the player progresses through the contest)
When the meter is empty, players can fill it by 50% by paying 1 pass
Objectives have changed, as have their rewards in some cases.
Players can find points for the piñatas in the Golden Fleece on the weekends.

Midir is one of the Celtic horses.Find all 5 Oghamic letters from their prediction by using their powers of divination every day.Once you have completed the prediction, you will either get:1 x Achille's Heel,1 x Hypnos' Blanket,100 x Leather. This horse cannot be sold.

This year, again, we introduce a brand new customization item: Catrina’s brooch. It will be on the Black Market on a specific weekend, but players will also be able to win it in the Piñatas contest.

There are 4 different coats, themed on the Day of the dead. When a horse gets one of the 4 coats, it also gets one of the 21 alebrijes piñatas as a companion

This item will give the horse the following bonuses:

Stamina: +5
Speed: +5
Dressage: +5
Gallop: +5
Trot: +5
Jumping: +5

Please Note: The companion awards an additional bonus to the horse between 2 and 6 on a specific skill, depending of which companion it is.

Those new companions are NOT included in the Companions trophy.

A few notes..."reserve" refers to each "bar" or "portion" of the meter. Points required to open each Pinata typically don't change from preprod to the live version, but it's not guaranteed that the objectives stated here will be copied exactly to the live version.

Prize: Divine Midir

For winning 1000 equus in competitions with a horse, does it have to be all on the same horse? Or is it in total of your horses?

Anytime we have had that objective all you needed to do is get a horse that has won 1000, enter it into a comp and place somewhere and it takes all the winnings and the objective is completed. I can see no reason why it would change from this.

Divine Dust


The “Divine dust”, i.e. the safety net for promos with divine horses in luck items

As requested by many players, and Ambassadors, we implement this system as a sort of safety net for promos with divines in luck items.

Every time you open a luck item when there is an active offer, you get “divine dust” if the divine horse doesn’t show up. You can see how much you progress in a gauge. Once it is full, you have the guarantee to get the divine.

If you win the divine before the gauge is full, the dust disappears.

The dust also disappears when the promo is over (i.e. it cannot be cumulated for the next promo).

Note: you can only win the divine once with the divine dust. There won’t be anymore divine dust if you open more luck items and try your luck for a second divine in the offer.

Competitions


Difficulty level of competitions


When you create or edit a competition in your equestrian center, you can now set the difficulty level in percentage. This way, the difficulty (i.e. this percentage) remains the same and the maximum and minimum required skills are updated automatically every day according to the best horses of the game and the difficulty.
No need to constantly update your competition to maintain the prestige anymore!



Emma’s competitions


To cover the lack of competitions that sometimes happen on the game, we introduce Emma’s competitions. When no competition at all is available for your horse, the system generates one automatically with Emma’s equestrian center. The difficulty is the lowest possible so that the horse has the most chances to win.
Once other horses have joined, the competition is run and disappears from the system again.

Note: this only works with non-special horses


Competitions for beginners


There has been an adjustment for beginners’ competitions.
The Genetic potential is now taken into account. It can’t be higher than a certain number, related to the best horses of the game.

New Passes



As announced, the old passes and diamonds have been replaced with new passes:


1 old pass = 100 new passes

1 old diamond = 10 new passes


This change brings everyone more freedom and flexibility, to set prices, to spend old diamonds, etc.

The graphics for passes and equus have completely changed, to be more modern and also to be more easily distinguishable (and prevent confusion as there was with the old images for passes and equus).

The passes and equus also get a completely new page, with new offers. You can check out the Equus page now, but not the pass page (which is blocked on the preprod to prevent players from buying passes here…)

New on the Black Market



There are many new things concerning the Black Market.


Inventory

You can now see on a Black market item’s page how many items you have in your inventory


New Prices
Thanks to the new passes, we have a higher flexibility regarding the prices of BMIs, as we can set prices that are less than 1 old pass.

Most Black Market Items now cost less than previously.


New Black Market items on sale

You can now buy the following BMIs on the Black Market:

Achilles’ Heel
Apollo’s Lyre
Artemis’ Arrow
Hypnos Blanket
Ploutos’ Parchment
Philotes’ stroke


Aging points and new category on the Black Market


The aging points have been added to the Black Market, so now you can buy them there directly.
You can find them in the new Black market category “Aging” – where we have also put Morpheus arms, Water of youth, Pieces of clouds and packs of pieces of clouds.

Hera's Packs

Hera's Packs now contain enough Aging Points to age a mare until she gives birth.

Team Fund



As requested many players, we are introducing a team fund/team piggy bank, enabling players from a team to share passes coming from the sales of team horses among them.

When a player sells a horse carrying a team affix in the name of the team, the passes coming from this sale go into the team piggy bank. The team admin distributes them among team members, when they wish to.

No More Diamonds



The diamonds have been replaced with new passes for simplification and consistency.

Inventory

All inventory diamonds are replaced with new passes (not applicable here since the testers have a brand new account with no diamonds.)

Special horses

All sources of diamonds (divine horses, wild horses, chimeras, etc) now bring new passes that you can use as you wish.

Skills of divine horses

Instead of diamonds you can now increase the skills of some divine horses with new passes. 10 passes = 10 skill points.

[NEW] It is now possible to increase the skills of even more divines:

- Astro divines
- Celtic divines
- Maori divines
- Norse divines
- Rainbow divines
- Love divines
- Some mythological divines (Greyfell, Balios, Hrimfaxi, Midas, Skinfaxi, Sleipnir, Xanthos, Hippogriffe)
- Pastry divines



This gives players more freedom as they can now choose how they use their old diamonds: Black market, horse sales, permanent offers in contests, VIP/Pegasus accounts…

Metal Element

From using the Metal element, your horse will get the Metal coat.

This item will give the horse the following bonuses:

Stamina: +8
Speed: +8
Dressage: +8
Gallop: +8
Trot: +8
Jumping: +8

Only horses above 1 year and 6 months old can use the Metal element

The Metal element cannot be combined with another special coat. If you give a Golden Apple to your horse then the Metal element, it will lose its Golden Apple.

This item cannot be exchanged.

Thanksgiving Cards



The concept is the same as the usual: collect and scratch cards to win gifts. Complete all the puzzles cards to win the new divine horse.




The Jackpots


Ruaumoko from the Maori divine series, when you complete all puzzles

The Tiger Chimera, as a Diamond card in the gift cards

There have been a few adjustments since last edition but not many.





Changes since last edition:


The prices of cards, card packs and joker cards packs have been adjusted to fit the new monetization and are a little cheaper

The new auction system is applied to the flash sales

Ruaumoko


Ruaumoko is one of the Māori horses.

Ruaumoko has a tiki you must fill with mana.

For that, you need to observe 3 turtle nests per day. And find out if there are any baby turtles:

1 x Turtle = 5 x mana
2 x Turtle = 20 x mana
3 x Turtle = 80 x mana



When the tiki contains 3000 x mana, Ruaumoko will give you a gift:


1 x Metal element (NEW ITEM!)


This horse cannot be sold.

Horse Sales



Currency

The new system allows players to sell horses for only passes OR equus.

To reiterate, you will only be able to sell horses for one or the other, not both.

Auction length

This part isn’t available yet for testing

Fees in the sales

A 10% fee is introduced in the sales.

When the seller sets a price for a horse, they can see clearly how much they will get and how much is taken by the fees. This applies to any horse sale between two players (auctions, direct sales, reserved sales,…)

The buyer only sees the final price.

Maximum price

The maximum price in the direct sales has been increased.

From 1,000,000 equus to 1,500,000 equus
From 2,000 passes to 2,500 passes

Piggy bank and Promotional Offers


The equus and passes taken from the fees end up in a piggy bank. Once the meter is full, it triggers promotional offers where you can buy black market items for equus (instead of passes) for a limited time.

You can access the piggy bank page through the Trade menu to follow the progress and see which items will be the next on sale.

Horses with the Vintage Apple

Those horses can now be sold.

Sales cancellation

All sales have been cancelled with the update.

VIP Favorite researches and Automated horse purchases

If you had researches (and automated horse purchases) combining an amount > 0 for passes AND equus, they had to be cancelled, since it isn’t possible anymore to sell/buy horses in passes and equus.
