� The new divine horse


Seahorse is a new divine horse.

Throughout the contest, you can find fragments of the new divine horse Seahorse in Tyche's Crowns, but also when you activate certain cards and achieve your daily objectives.

Once you collect enough scales, he gets you a Greek Creatures Wanderer’s spirit.

You can increase his skills by using your Passes.

HellOw everyone,



On the mobile version of the game, players now have access to mass actions.

This means they can repair multiple buildings at once or collect all resources from their crops for instance. The only action they cannot perform in mass is the creation of new buildings.

When players go on the mass action page (little wheel on the top right of the screen where you are on your equestrian center page), players:

� Can see all the actions they are able to do on their buildings.
� Can see the number of buildings that will be impacted by mass actions.
� Cannot choose on which buildings the action will be performed.

Players can also now accept or refuse all the boarding extent requests.

Please, test this feature if you are able to do so, and let me know whether you find it useful.

Best Regards,
The Howrse Team

HellOw everyone,
,

Please note the “Rosette per horse” trophy is being removed because it presented some technical challenges (i.e. trophy calculation changes when a horse with a lot of rosettes was sold).

You don't need to worry about losing your progress. To keep track of the efforts made by the most dedicated players:

� The points obtained from previously validated trophy levels will be kept for the general ranking and for the trophy ranking.

� All points gained from the trophy and added to the gift gauge will be kept.

� The total trophy number shown at the top of the trophies page will be adjusted to reflect the removal of the "Rosettes per horse" trophy.

This change will take effect on January 23rd, so you can still make progress before the trophy is permanently removed.


Happy Howrsing!
The Howrse Team

� Part 2: Festivities - Snow Battle

During the festivities, your task is to catch UFOs in three daily sessions, with the number of UFOs based on your horseshoe collection.

HellOw everyone,


To help you run your Equestrian Centers more efficiently on Mobile, they now feature a new function: you can now perform mass actions, greatly simplifying the management of your facilities.

A small icon is now visible at the top of the buildings page (boxes, meadows, greenhouses and workshops). It leads to a page listing the possible actions you can perform on several buildings at the same time, up to a limit of 500 at a time. This may involve repairing several worn-out stalls, or harvesting finished productions, for example. The number of buildings involved can be seen on the page.

Please note that, if you are producing buildings, you will not be able to retrieve them automatically.

The magic works itself: buildings requiring a specific action are automatically selected. No more time wasted manually selecting each box or greenhouse!

Please, test this feature if you are able to do so, and let us know whether you find it useful.

Best Regards,
The Howrse Team

When you complete the action, you earn a given number of points on the gauge. When you complete the gauge, you unlock the Wandering horse!
There are also gifts on the way to the full gauge.

Moreover, you can use Wandering Horses Aging points (see below) to unlock them immediately. They can be earned daily when you log-in or can be bought with passes.

You cannot reproduce them, nor give them Black Market items. You can age them with the event's item (see the Wandering Horse Aging points below).

This feature is available to all account types: no subscription, Pegasus and VIP. You can also activate or deactivate this feature anytime.

� Please test the rides on mobile and let us know what you think.


Best regards,

I am very excited about Red Giant - champion seed, yay!

Bitter disappointment chokes me - they did a Blizzard, and changed Red Giant's prize to an unlimited helios ray
I had not been so excited about anything on howrse for years, and they changed it because it wasn't popular

I agree, I was genuinely looking forward to the original prize, it was something quite unique and I do like my foundations. Originally I was going to go all out for the divine, but now I'll leave it to luck. Unlimited Helios Ray is cool but not as enticing as the champion seed. It would have been like having a blast to the past with one in my inventory haha, haven't seen that item in so long (Obviously my account hasn't been new in a looong time )

Sparks is a Fire horse.
She'll give you a Hera's Lily.
Her bar requires 100 points, which makes me suspect a 25 days drop rate.

Example

Piñatas: Sea mammals


Open your Piñatas and collect their gifts!

� How to play

You can open your piñatas:

By clicking on them;

Thanks to clicks from your friends (5 damage points per click from a friend);

You can see the amount of energy used when you hover over the room you wish to open. If you are out of energy, you will have to wait for a refill.


How does the energy refill?

● The energy refills over time (you can accelerate regeneration by reducing the time with elixirs).

● You can buy more energy points with passes (discounted on weekends).

How do you improve your Dragon’s skills?

On your way, you will find elixirs to improve your Axolotl Dragon’s skills.

There are 3 different types of improvements:

Regeneration: Energy is restored more frequently.

Attack: Each click is worth 1 more attack point.

Energy capacity: Increase the maximum amount of energy you can have.

Get to the last room to win the Jackpot!




� Jackpot – The Sisyphus Stone x3



The Sisyphus Stone doubles your horse’s mission earnings. You can earn twice as many skills and equus by completing missions. It also applies to the mission earnings of your equestrian center.

Draft horses can be equipped with a Sisyphus Stone and, since they already double the Equestrian Center mission earnings, you can quadruple the earnings!

New divine from the Fairy Tale series: Sleeping Beauty!


You can find fragments of Sleeping Beauty throughout the Doors event, in the Tyche’s Crown and by completing daily objectives.

Find the 4 plot elements by reading a story every day. Once the plot is complete you get a prize amongst: Cronos’ Timer, 5x Aging point, Hypnos Blanket.

Carousel change


From now on, all the carousel information is centralized and accessible with one click.

You just have to click on the arrow which was previously used to showcase all the offers/events with multiple clicks.

You will find information about current horses in luck items, different packs available, the ongoing event, as well as a link to the Ascent of Olympus and the Piggy Bank.

What do you think about this change?

Best regards,
The Howrse Team

Five new trophies


We’re adding 5 new trophies in this update.


Four of them are in the “Breeding” category:

Horse breeder: To give birth to X horses.

Draught horse breeder: Produce X draught horses.

Unicorn breeder: Give birth to X unicorns.

Donkey breeder: To give birth to X donkeys.


Important note: These trophies are retroactive for a period of one year. There are two reasons for applying a partial retroactivity on these trophies:

● The first one is that a total retroactivity implies a review of all the horses in the game, and therefore, a substantial maintenance that we would like to avoid.

● The second, is the disparity between the old and the new players which makes the progression non-existent for the former (their trophies would already all be completed) and impossible for the latter (the figure required to progress in the trophy would have been too high).


The other new trophy is in the "Community" category:

Creative space: Vote for X creative space creations.


Important note: This trophy does not take into account Creation space votes from previous months. It is not retroactive.

Please let us know what do you think about these new trophies.

Best regards,
The Howrse Team

The new item cannot be used with a WoY, so it's not that skillers can get double from lessons. It does mean it'll be more convenient though

HellOw,

In order to harmonize the behavior of Ràn and Hipparion with that of Kaktos, we've revised their gift-giving behavior.

Previously, players could get the new breed thanks to these divine horses directly after the game update.

However, to align with the system used for Kaktos, we are changing the way we give the gifts for Ràn and Hipparion: players will now need to wait until at least one player gets the new breed before you can get it using your divine horses.

This change is to prevent the spread of a new breed before it's officially introduced with an event or commercial operation.



Best regards,
The Howrse Team
