The Next Legendary is Amira.

It's Alexander the Great's horse: Bucephalas! His name means 'Ox Head' and his emblem on the Great Challenge is an ox head!

There is a brilliant book about his story told from his point of view, it's called 'I am the Great Horse' and it's by Katherine Roberts

The Katherine Roberts Bucephalus book seems interesting. Is Bucephalus's bonus known yet?

Do we know what you need to get Bucephalas or Amira?

Bucephalus and Zalida are in? I'm interested in having them and I want to know if it's a feasible promo for me.

the Cards (which has Tormenta). Bucephalus will be in Pinatas. At least that's what I've seen. Don't think we know yet about Zalida.

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.

Modifications to Genetic Thresholds

Genetic experts, take note! What follows may interest you.

To address some of the imbalances in the development of genetic potential, some genetic thresholds are slightly revised.

Genetic thresholds are what defines the speed at which your horses' genetic potential increases with each generation. Thus, the further away from the genetic threshold of a breed your foals are, the more genetic potential they have. Conversely, they closer they are to it, the less they have. Genetic thresholds are increased gradually each day in order to follow the evolution of the breeds.

For differing reasons, it can happen that not every breed has the same genetic threshold. We want to reduce, or remove these gaps entirely so that certain breeds are not too far behind others and in this way ensure the game is balanced.

Therefore, in order to resolve a genetic threshold issue, the Fjord will be able to benefit from increased genetic potential from one generation to the next temporarily.

These changes in no way disrupt sustainable developments of genetics on the game. There is a small adjustment.

*Note it is only Fjords that will have an increase - and it is only TEMPORARY!

Sell horses to your team!

There has been a specific improvement to how sales within teams are managed.

If you are part of a team, you can now offer the sale of any horse with the team affix to all your team members simultaneously.

When you decide to sell your horse, use the same method as usual then you simply need to select the option “Reserved sales” then “Reserve sale for my team”.

Once a team member has bought the horse, it is no longer available to any of the others. The Sales page includes a My Team Sales tab.

This should make selling horses within the team much easier!

Improvements to the Creation Space

Sending your creation stage

Now when you preview your creation before sending it to the creative space, you can also see it on a black background. This will allow you to see small imperfections that can escape the eye on the bottom of the creation, such as jagged edges or light colored spots on the bottom.

Hint: You will have a much greater chance of seeing your creation appear online if it's cleaned up in the preview.

Community voting stage

► A new category has been added for reporting creations that do not conform to the rules:

We added a new category called “Does not respect the Black Pearl's other rules” which allows you to report creations that do not conform to the rules and which lack a specific category.

Tip: You can report creations that do not conform to the rules when you vote for creations but also by visiting the the pages where all the creations are displayed.

► Creations reported numerous times for not conforming to the rules will be withdrawn from voting:

Following your requests for the improvement in the quality of the creations entered for voting, from now on, any creation which has been reported numerous times as abusing the rules will no longer appear during voting.

Tip: You may vote for creations between the 6th and 14th of each month in the Creative Space (link). Creations which receive the most votes will be posted online on the 26th of each month.

► Filter by breed:

On the page displaying all of the creations for which you can vote, you can now filter creations by breed. This allows you to display one available breed at a time (riding horse, unicorn, donkey, etc.) without seeing all the others.
