With the water balloon fight, would it be best to have a lot of friends so you can throw to a lot of people?

With the water balloon fight, would it be best to have a lot of friends so you can throw to a lot of people?

The Great Challenge returns to us - but with some changes. The following is a copy-paste from the Preprod topic:

The concept of this contest is to collect horseshoes with the whole community to meet the amount that will launch the Festivities. In addition, you will discover the days when certain steps are reached, a new chapter in the story of Altair, as explained on the topic of Legendary Horses.

Collection of horseshoes

The ways to earn horseshoes are reviewed. Now horseshoes are won only through the daily objectives. Competitions no longer offer horseshoes. Do not worry: the amount horseshoes was adjusted to these changes.

Objectives

There are now 3 daily objectives, rather than 6.

The objectives bring 2 times more horseshoes than before:

►Objective 1: 2 horseshoes
►Objective 2: 4 horseshoes
►Objective 3: 6 horseshoes

You now have the opportunity to complete the objectives from the 2 previous days if you have not done so.

You can validate the 3rd objective of the day with the advertising video if one is available.

Ask for help

You can ask for help to complete the third objective. It costs 5000 Equus and you can ask for help once a day. In this case your objective will be proposed to the other members of the community. It is another player who will complete your goal. However, even if you have asked for help, you can still choose to complete your own objective.

The first time you help someone during the day, you win a raffle ticket for the Festivities. Afterwards, helping other players helps launch the Festivities sooner.

*Note the community objective only appears after doing all 3 of your regular objectives. Also, note that these objectives are from EVERYONE in the community and not just your friends.

Puzzle

A puzzle is added. The puzzle consists of 12 pieces (4 x 3).

►Each time you complete 3 daily objectives, you earn a piece of the puzzle.
►The puzzle pieces are always won in the same order.
►Once puzzle is completed, you still have objectives to complete and they will earn horseshoes and not puzzle pieces.
►You get a gift for each puzzle piece unlocked. Gifts are received during the Festivities launch.

-Advantage for Festivities

You receive an advantage over the Golden Fleece depending on the number of Irons won during the Grand Challenge.

►5 = 6: 40 horseshoes
►4 = 5: 80
►3 = 4: 115
►2 = 3: 145

*This is no different than the original Buy X - get 1 free deal that came with the Titan's Challenge/Horn of Plenty from the original Great Challenge

Festivities

When the required amount of horseshoes is reached, the Festivities are launched.
The duration of the Festivities is based on the number of days that the community took to reach the goal. So: the faster you collect the horseshoes, longer the Festivities will last.

During the festivities, in the Golden Fleece, you will find pieces of equipment for the Legendary Horse Altair. There are 5 pieces. When you have them all, the horse on which you have chosen to place them will be transformed into Altair.

To learn more about Altair, please visit the topic of Legendary Horses.

►It is not possible to get the Legendary Horse in reserved sales after opening a certain number of Golden Fleece.

►VIP retain the possibility to obtain pieces of equipment in the Golden Fleece during the Grand Challenge if they wish.

►It is no longer possible to give a raffle ticket to a player who has not finished (or abandoned) the tutorial.

The prize list for the puzzle - you get 1 prize per piece, and they are given out in order from top to bottom (so if you only collect 3 pieces - you'll only get 5x aging points, 1x helios' ray, and the Red and Blue 2** Saddle cloth. If you get all 12 pieces - you'll get all 12 prizes*
