Here are the legendary howrses
Tormenta

Zaldia

Bacephalus


There you go

The VA is an item that will be acquired through collecting candles on the 8th of next month. The VA only alters the howrse's appearance, changing back to the previous coat styles. For example, if you have a shetland and you choose to use the VA on that howrse, you can pick from any of the pony coats. Again, this will not change the howrse's actual breed, just the appearance. I hope that clarifies things for you. Feel free to send me a pm if you have any other questions

NOTE: The Vintage Apple and its promotion are a ONE DAY event only - September 8th, 2015. If you miss it - that's it as it is not known at this time if this item will ever return

*Copied from the Preprod topic:

The 8 September, we will celebrate the Owlient’s 10 years birthday. At this occasion, we wanted to propose to you a little special contest that will last the all day.

The purpose of this contest is to find 10 candles spread on the game with the help of clues. If you find all the candles, you will receive a very special gift (you need to click on it on the contest page to get it!) : the Vintage Apple, guaranteed nostalgic effect for the early players !

The Vintage Apple allows you to personalize a horse with the old coats from the game (the ones just before the actual ones, previous horses cannot be used because they cannot be integrated on the game background)

Be careful: a horse wearing this item cannot be sold anymore.

This item CAN :
► be given via personalized UFO’s on the page of pegasus and VIP players
► be given to horses from 18 months
► be given to saddle horses, ponies, pegasus, unicorns, winged unicorns, donkeys.
► is compatible with the Helios' Ray
► it gives a +5 “Vintage Apple” bonus to each horse skill

This item CANNOT:

► be bought with passes
► be exchanged in the item exchange system
► be given to draft horses, divines horses, wild horses and legendary horses.
► be cumulated with other special coat items (it overwrites the previous item)

The coat is selected on the same principle as Golden Apple coats : we propose all the coats compatibles with the horse species, and you choose the one you want among the selection.

A horse from a certain species cannot receive a coat from another species. On the other hand the coat variety makes no difference. For example, you can get an old light sports coat for a massive sports horse.

When a horse with this kind of coat is given Medusa's Blood, the coat picture updates to match the new breed of horse (winged version), in the same way as the 5th Element coats.
This also updates when wings or horns are removed from a horse as part of a contest goal.

As with the other special coats, tack is not visible on pictures of horses with Vintage Apple coats.

*Remember - a horse can only be given a coat that matches its species. So this means that your choices for each species are:

Riding Horse = Riding Horse coats
Pony = Pony coats
Donkey = Donkey coats
Pegasus - Riding Horse breed = Pegasus Riding Horse coats
Pegasus - Pony breed = Pegasus Pony coats
Unicorn - Riding Horse breed = Unicorn Riding Horse coats
Unicorn - Pony breed = Unicorn Pony coats
Winged Unicorn - Riding Horse breed = Winged Unicorn Riding Horse coats
Winged Unicorn - Pony breed = Winged Unicorn Pony coats

Drafts, Wilds, Divines, and Legendary Horses can NOT be given this item

However - a horse is not limited by its breed - so you can put a Fjord coat on a Shetland pony. A Curly coat on a Friesian, etc. Here are some shots of potential choices:

Using it on a Riding Horse:


Using it on a Pony:


Using it on a Pegasus - Riding Horse breed:


Using it on a Unicorn - Pony breed:


Using it on a Winged Unicorn - Pony breed:


And here's what you see when you choose a coat to give the horse:


*note the warning saying you can no longer sell the horse*

Once you've hit confirmed - you'll be taken to the horse's page and see the new coat:



You will also notice that the only option now for selling the horse is to send it to the Safe Haven;



Other Information

Remember that the Vintage Apple is just a customization item. It will NOT actually change the breed, skills, species, etc. of your horse:


Take this horse for example - while the image shown is that of a Dun Shetland, you'll notice her breed is still listed as Quarter Pony, her coat color as Black Tobiano, and her genetics match that of a Foundation Quarter Pony. Thus - she still counts as a Quarter Pony for trophies, breeding purposes, etc.

Vintage Apple Horses can NOT be sold - except to the Safe Haven.

A player will only be able to win ONE Vintage Apple by finding the Candles. However, while the VA can not be traded, gifted, or sold through the Item Exchange - it can be offered as a Custom UFO for Pegasus/VIP account holders - so a player could find an extra one via this method should someone make their VA into a UFO.

Can you only get 1 Vintage Apple? Or can you get as many as you like? And is this going to be avaliable on our sever too?

A player can only get 1 Vintage Apple from the promotion itself. So for example - you can only win 1, I can only win 1, etc.

However, the Vintage Apple can be offered as a Custom UFO by Pegasus/VIP account holders. So if I don't want my Vintage Apple - I could make it into a Custom UFO for someone else to find. As such - a player might end up with 2 Vintage Apples = but outside of this happening, a player will not get more than 1 Vintage Apple.

And yes, it seems it will be available on All Severs as it is celebrating Owlient's Birthday as opposed to the birthday of the Server itself. *at the very least, I can confirm it will be here and on Equideow - but I can't speak for the US, UK, and other servers*

*The Clue only shows up once you hit a target point value. Based on my experience - the values seem to be around the following levels:

Scene 1 = 41,000 *Final prize at 42,000 points*
Scene 2 = 50,000 *Final prize at 54,000 points*
Scene 3 = 60,000 *Final prize at 66,000 points*
Scene 4 = 66,000 *Final prize at 78,000 points*
Scene 5 = 75,000 *Final prize at 90,000 points*
