the saddles and other tack on the test server right now are bought, not made

You are able to have 30 days to "try out" what you want before you must finalize your selection.

This is on prepod in the upcoming news so is valid ( as far as I am concern).

I know - but in the future, we will be able to make our own tack (which would explain the need for a way to get leather)

And thanks Spyder...must have missed it when looking in the preprod news

It looks like it was taken off but if you look at the thread Ongoing Text for translation MeOw posted a link to the page there.

It was but thanks to some creative linking - I found it

Maybe we were not supposed to know that this soon but my spyderlings get into every nook and crevice.

I'll say (found a spider in my bathroom sink a moment ago) - not that I mind, I like Spiders

That aside, the current time line says the next batch will come out later this month (I give it another week or two), so my guess is once that batch is released - the time line here will switch to the one you posted. So it's not that far in advance that we know

Oh thank you! I misunderstood, I thought we could choose one location once in 30 days, and then change once Trying out is much better Thank you!

Well,forest is an obvious choice for because if my EC name!

I wish I had it that easy ~ my center is *quoted from my page*;

a peaceful place nestled in the middle of nowhere special

The image on my presentation page shows both a Mountain and Forest - both which are peaceful in my opinion...

About the only thing I'm sure of is that I'm not choosing Beach

It would be awesome if you could change your location once in a while..
I can imagine if you're dedicated to breeding a certain breed you choose the EC location to fit to your breed. (for instance mountain is really good for akhal tekes)
But what if you switch breeds some day

Actually I hope we know more about the resources and what you can do with them, and if you're able to acquire the other two types of resources in the store so that you're not too dependent on your own location.
I just hope we have more information than we have now before we have to choose


yeah me neither (probably). Not interesting for blupping and not that much helpful in skilling since you need the other skills anyway too and I really can't imagine what Sand will be used for

I dunno - halving those horribly long Beach rides is awfully tempting...

Hmmm

In the real world sand is a very bad thing for the health of a good hoof. You know, sand cracks and such..

Okay, so for the locations of Mountain, Beach, or Forest for EC's...we can change them when we want to right? I don't paticularly like one more than the other and it would be nice to switch them around at least once a month or something...?

Well, let's see - what could sand be used for;

If meadows still flooded - Sand could have been used to make sand bags to stop flooding

Sand could also be turned into:

glass
sandpaper
cement/concrete
some sort of soap for cleaning, or polish (I have a soap made with pumice, so similar idea)

I'm sure there are more possibilities - but these just came to my mind almost instantly



If you are into that kind of thing - it's tempting. But as one who only breeds for fun (as evidenced by the majority of horses I work with) and prefers to focus on making her center the best it can be for all (without restrictions)...you can see how the Mountains/Forest would be better for me [as I feel things like Wood and Iron will play more of a large part in production than Sand]

Taken from the preprod time line;



From what I gather - it seems that

Please read my spoiler carefully. Your answer ts there.

Are there any new divines coming out?

nope not at this stage!! (after the one now) there is a new bm comming out though

Where abouts on prepod are you finding the info about the locations of our Ec please? I haven't looked that hard, i must admit, but i cannot find it?

@ShorahNagi

Concerning the EC changes-

Oh, okay. Thanks for the info. Are there any perks of the different various locations?

If choosing the mountain, I could then sing "I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole, diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole ... "

i am reading all of this stuff about cows and leather and working horses. can someone please explain?? in urgent need of info here

Can someone please give me the list of The Great Challenge Prizes and how many horseshoes you need to win them.

Not to mention that horses who are raised in areas with sandy soil often end up with sand colic at multiple points in their lives - they end up swallowing sand with the grass they pull up, and it blocks their stomachs. Bad news for horse owners.

I don't think I'll be doing a beach EC. Trying to decide between Mountain and Forest.
