The gifts in the current event... if you exchange your shop currency for an item, such as a hestias gift - if you go back to buy that item again, will it have increased in price? or is the price the same each purchase?

I'm hoping the latter...

Woah that's expensive, I bought one back in the old days for 5 (500) passes

Thank you Zeona

& @Nalu I asked here because I couldn't see anywhere in the shop which said it, I realise now you have to scroll right to the bottom and its like a contract, being that its in tiny lettering barely noticable but thank you


gah... wish it didn't double though, I hate when they do that.

There's just a button in the comp section of your reindeer's page. You click it and the deer is auto-entered so there's no chance to choose a comp or check out the opposition. The button had a little pretty image of a red ski/sled type thing on it if I remember correctly.

Otherwise it's just a case of investing passes into the deer's skills to have a better chance of placing high. I think someone posted previously that you an also do rides to gain skills but I don't remember seeing that during testing. Probably because I didn't look much further than wanting to see the comp.

I think it will be slim to no pickings for the average player on the pass prize front though.

Notes:
-Average fragments found per item: 14-16 per item. NB: I rarely ever found fewer than 13 fragments per item. However, when I did, I found very few fragments which dropped the average.

-You can get a 3× fragment multiplier from completing the community objective

- requires 3250XP to complete his quest.

-Don't forget to already have your Grail divines on an ongoing quest before you get Lancelot. Buying Lancelot will autocomplete your ongoing quest, even if you started it on the day that you got him.

-You will get 6 items daily from logging in, 9 items from logging in for 5 days in a row and 9 more items daily from doing missions and entering competitions daily. That’s a total of 312 free items for the duration of the promo or 104 of each category assuming that you get equal amounts of items from each category.

-The event was not playable on your phone through your browser/desktop mode on preprod. If you’re using your phone then rather switch to mobile mode because it’s much easier to place the gear on the rider on mobile as opposed to classical mode.

-If you’re using classical mode and you’re having trouble putting gear on your riders then you may need to drag the gear to the centre of the rider in order to place it.

-There’s a community goal to place X pieces of tack to unlock a 3× fragment multiplier for Lancelot.

-You will need your EC workshops to craft items for the event if you want to complete the event. Your workshops are not accessible through the mobile version so you must play the classical version to use them.
--NB: 2* tack, along with store bonuses such as the whip, are ingredients that can be used to craft event items in your workshops. And not all of the store bonuses can be bought from the store.

-You get more or less 4200 coins for free from the promo if you participate by crafting.

-IMPORTANT: the cost of each item in the prize store DOUBLES after each time you buy the item.

-New riders will arrive at your store every x hours depending on what level you have reached. However, if you do not want to wait for the riders then you can choose to advertise for 90p to automatically get 3 new riders/orders at your store.

-Some players got confused between items/tack when they were trying to add the riders. I have attached an image that demonstrates the difference between each tack piece below. This image was created by Strawbz.

-If you want the maximum number of coins per rider then try to give each rider exactly what it wants.

-You may need to use up your whole supply of 2** tack to craft items for the riders.
--It takes 1 day to craft 1-3 of any type of item in your workshops depending on the size of your workshops.
--Employing the artisan drops the time to craft recipes to 14 hours and X minutes.

-Strategy: go for the prizes, not the divine. You probably won’t have the masses of 2** tack and bonuses that are required to get through the entire promo so you may end up spending a good number of passes trying to finish.

The "reindeer games" seem like a waste to me. I would have to spend a fortune raising the skills of even one reindeer high enough to be competitive for any prizes, and those skills would continue to rise so the spending would never truly stop. Making the reindeer more useful sounds great, and the top prize of 300 passes once a month sounds like a great prize, but I'm not so naive that I believe I would ever actually win that likely even once (with so few winners) let alone enough to make it worth while. It reminds me of the objectives where you have to use an expensive black market item to earn a measly 10 or even 20 passes, and in the case of the reindeer, you wouldn't even be guaranteed to win ANY prize. I dont think I'll be using my passes to raise my reindeers' skills. IF I decide to work/compete with them at all, on top of all the others I'm already working, they'll just be equus earners. That is, assuming these new competitions even offer equus as prizes like the normal comps do.

They could have just made "You get 20 passes as long as you're ranked, and you only get ranked if you entered at least competition every day of the month" and NOBODY would have suffered.
Yes, the best players would have still gotten their reward, but we'd have at least SOMETHING.
