And my horses are now 'riding horses!'
|
Brining this forward as I know a lot of people are coming here looking for information on Draft Horses now. As was stated in the EC Time Line - there will be 2 breeds of Drafts added to start with;
The following is all the information that was given on Preprod about them - as well as some pictures of the First breed of Draft that will be added. In addition - this post also contains information at the end of it about how they will be added to the game; *Please note -the following post refers to Draft horses as Draugt Horses...They are the SAME thing (Draft is the preferred US term for Heavy Horses, Draught is the UK preferred term for them) Click to display Draught Horses: A new type of horse is making their long awaited entrance on Howrse; the draught breeds. The first horse from this new “species” is the Percheron! Draught horses can: - Receive the same items than Donkeys. The special coats of the following items will use the same image as horses and ponies: - 5th Element - Bewitched Pumpkin - Seal of the Apocalypse Draught horses can be equipped and take part in the same competitions as riding horses and ponies. The equipment is visible on the horse’s illustration. *see image* Like donkeys the draught horses: - Can only be bred with another draught horse - Cannot breed more than three times during his life - When a draught horse is put up for sale any issued but unused coverings are cancelled Weight and feed The need for fodder is larger with a draught horse than with other species The requirement for oats works the same way as for horses or ponies. Missions: When a draught horse takes part in a mission: He earns twice as many skills as a regular horse His owner earns twice as many equus The Equestrian Centre earns twice as many resources The mission button on their page is slightly modified to show it’s doubled compared to other horses. You can search draught horses in breeding farms, sales and in public coverings. When you are looking for a covering for your draught mare the setting is automatically set to search for a draught horse of the same breed in exactly the same way as donkeys. In the other direction, when looking for a covering for a classical riding breed you cannot select the setting to search for a draught horse. Rankings: The draught horses are ranked as any other type of specie. Their ranking goes between the ones for ponies and donkeys. Creative Space: We add the opportunity of proposing creations for draught horses in the Creative Space. On the Black pearl page the sentence “Draught horses aren’t accepted” is removed. Trophies The Percheron is added to the breed and coats for all breed trophies as well as creating a trophy in Talented Breeder => breeds. The species is also added to the species trophy, species Golden Apple and retired Golden Apple trophies. Species riding horse To avoid unnecessary confusion the species “horse” is renamed “riding horse”. *and Drafts will be called 'Draft Horse' This terminology is used on the horse’s page under species, in the horse’s breed description, in the search drop down menus, in the sales, when looking for coverings, in your breeding farms, trophies, species, in the rankings … Help section An entry is added for draught horses in the section 4.1 – breeding. In the EC help under missions in section 2.3 an entry is also added Best Regards The Howrse Team Images of a Percheron's page and the Breed's Page; *bonus - Percheron Foal* ~*~ The Percheron will be released as a prize you can find in the upcoming maze promotion - along with a new Rainbow Divine. There are two of them (Percherons) in total in the Maze. The following is a screen shot of the maze and where everything is*, as well as a route to follow to reach the end: To move through the maze - you'll select a horse from your breeding farm (while using this horse, you won't be able to care for it - so choose wisely). Your horse will start off with 100% energy (this is different than the energy on his page) and you can make 1 move per 20% of energy. The horse will recover between 2 to 5% of energy per hour (the recovery rate is dependent on the horse's skills). *Note that the location of Gifts might be changed slightly - also, you won't know what a gift spot contains until you reach it (so there's no way to know in advance where the Percherons are. In addition to this - the Second Breed of Draft horse is also known: Click to display The second Draft Breed is going to be the Shire Horse. However - other than these three images showing the three colors it comes in - Nothing else is known about this particular Draft at this time: This means we don't know how it will be released, its skills, etc.

I have 20 now that I have to worry about having enough Pandora's Boxes for, lol. And I though I was bad with my now 12 Mortals Doubt I'll even break into the top 100 - but I'm still going to have fun catching and throwing UFOs. As for getting to a big promotion - all we can do is wait and see what the future holds

Click to display Will the Percheron's be able to have Fertility Wands and/or Hera's Packs used on them?
|
Click to display Will the Percheron's be able to have Fertility Wands and/or Hera's Packs used on them? Yes, as was stated on preprod Drafts; Click to display Can receive the same items as Donkeys. So this means things like the Hera Pack and the items it contains can be used on them. They will work the same as they do on regular horses (so you'd get two foals instead of one with a Fertility Wand)

Question about rainbow divines and breeding
Click to display Does Forest Green have a fixed GP? Or will the BLUP of Lovely Blue and Shiny Yellow change the outcome of the foal?

Question about rainbow divines and breeding Click to display Does Forest Green have a fixed GP? Or will the BLUP of Lovely Blue and Shiny Yellow change the outcome of the foal? Typically, all Divine GP is set regardless of BLUP. With the exception of Qilin (correct me if I'm wrong on this as I don't breed mine too often) since it is the only Divine to breed with regular unicorns (but only of your own stock, bought or bred).

Click to display Anyone else thinking the maze will come on Monday? The flower fight is only a week long so I'm assuming Howrse is useing it to make sure everything is ready for the drafts and the maze. This is just a guess but I have some big assumptions that it will come next Monday. |

Does any one have any of the draught horses yet I really want one and what's the maze The Click to display maze is the promo the drafts are coming in. It will happen this month. No one had draft horses yet since it hasn't started yet. |
Question about rainbow divines and breeding Click to display Does Forest Green have a fixed GP? Or will the BLUP of Lovely Blue and Shiny Yellow change the outcome of the foal? Nope - the GP and Skills of Divines are set - so you'll get the same results breeding two 70 BLUP divines (the lowest they can be at) as you would breeding 100 BLUP Divines. The only exception per say would be Qilin - but that's because he produces normal foals/unicorns (and they follow the rule of the best being born when both parents are 100 BLUP).

The only exception per say would be Qilin - but that's because he produces normal foals/unicorns (and they follow the rule of the best being born when both parents are 100 BLUP). Thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't entirely positive as I had said before, I don't breed my unicorns often.

And is that the full M? May I copy and save it to look at? Yes, to anyone who wants them - the following are shots of the upcoming promotion. You are free to copy and save them for your own use if you wish. Click to display These are two routes through the Maze The 'Red Line' route is the shortest in terms of spaces you move BUT it has the cost of being a bit slower due to the lack of treats The 'White Dot' route is longer in terms of spaces BUT it has proven to be a bit faster as you get additional moves from Treats at the cost of needing to 'back-track' a little. If all you care about is getting the Divine as quick as possible - either the Red Line or White Dot path is the way to go. If you care about the Divine - but want to get other things along the way - the White Dot is better. If you don't care about the Divine and just want to try for as many gifts as you can get - make your own route with this untouched map showing where everything is*: *note the location of gifts is rumored to be changing to make things a bit more interesting. Treats and Spyglasses (Binoculars) will still be in the same spots. And for those who might not have seen it/want to know the prizes to plan their course of action - here's the Prize list and how many of each (the blue number) is found in the Maze;

Is it possible that Howrse
