The festivities (Lottery) have started on Preprod. Here's the prize list for the lottery!



*So it seems the main jackpot for this one is all 5 pieces of Altair's tack as opposed to the horse itself

Tickets are still gotten in the same ways (Buy them, use passes, friend tickets, win competitions)

~*~
Also, while I'm not sure if it's a Preprod thing or not - once the festivities started, a pop-up came up saying that Altair's story was finished and ready to read *clicking it still gives the standard 'lorem ipsum' publishing filler text*. If preprod's book matches up - the story is 16 chapters and a prologue long *though by chapter - we're talking maybe 2-3 pages long*.

I'm not sure if this happened because they increased the chances, but I got a whole set of Altair Tack in just 7 tries. 14 passes for a divine. Hopefully this was because of an increased chance and not just my luck!

When I started opening the Fleeces, I got the tack pieces so that first I collected one full set, put it on a horse, then another full set and put it on another horse. But after a while I had collected 4 pieces and went ahead to put them on a horse before getting the last piece. When I started opening the Fleeces again, the next tack piece I got was not the one I was missing from the third full set, but a duplicate.

So, it would be wise to collect all 5 pieces before you put them on a horse, otherwise it might take more tries to get all 5 pieces!

Altair, but he and his promo sound pretty awesome, even if it's only a repeat of the Great Challenges.

It also appears you cannot give altair tack in the exchanges like you can other BMI tack

If you give Altair tack to a winged unicorn, pegasus, or unicorn, will it lose its wings and/or horn?

I've put in a query about it on Preprod - so we'll see if I hear anything back.

Though the way I see it - it's one of two things:

A. Just flavor text based on the horse's story

or

B. a new element unique to the legendary horses (sort of like how you had to tame a wild horse before you could care for it...you might need to make sure your horse remains loyal by caring for it every day)

Once a horse is given all 5 pieces of tack - it transforms into Altair (who is a regular riding horse). Thus, regardless of what species you use - your horse will transform and everything about it will match that of Altair (so it won't have Wings/Horn, won't be able to breed at all, etc).

I wonder if we are able to gift pieces of Altairs tack, like how now we can gift a friend a saddle, bonnet etc... not using the exchanges. Like lets say I have 2 saddles and my friend needs a saddle to complete the set, could I gift it to them?

There is no way to gift Altair tack regardless of how many you have. I looked in the Item Exchange, and via the 'regular item' gifting system and could not find the option to trade/gift away my tack.

I tried giving Altair tack to a few different unicorns and the tack did not appear as a BMI available to them. None of the unicorns were too young for tack or had p. packs.

I was able to transform a unicorn into Altair, it kept its unicorn bonus, but of course is not unicorn species anymore, and can't breed.

Legendary Horses (which are similar to Wild and Divines) as a new breed.

The list of objectives and the rewards you get from them:

1. Groom a Horse = Able to roll the die 3 times every 12 hours

2. Donate X amount of Equus to Ow = Able to teleport to the highlighted space

3. Give an apple to a horse that is 10 years old = 3 bonus rolls *horse must be exactly 10*

4. Enter X amount of competitions = Able to teleport to the highlighted space

5. Take a horse on a 5 hour ride = Move to a space of your choice within a radius of 4 spaces *Means take a horse on a 5-hour consecutive ride of any kind*

6. Find an Aging Point UFO = Able to teleport to the highlighted space

7. Remove a Pegasus' Wings = 5 bonus rolls

8. Win X amount of competitions = Able to teleport to the highlighted space

9. Open a Horn of Plenty = 4 bonus rolls

10. Donate X amount of Equus to Ow = Move to a space of your choice within a radius of 6 spaces

11. Give birth to twins = 5 bonus rolls

To clarify something about the rewards:

Number 1's reward is the only one to change how many times you can roll. It's the tutorial challenge that everyone will get.

2, 4, 6, and 8 allow you the option to move to a space the game chooses (apologies I don't know if there's any sort of pattern to the spot chosen)

5 and 10 allow you to move to any space within a 4 and 6 space radius from your current position respectively

All other rewards simply give you the option to throw the die again for however many times it allows.
