if the next promo will need colored tack? I want to know so I don't use it if I will need it

is the treasure hunt coming next Monday or later does anyone know

I keep hearing of a Pinata event. What is this, exactly? Thank you!

the next promo will probably be The Treasure hunt. And we think it will start on Monday?

The next promo will be the Treasure Hunt, probably starting on Monday. You will not need any BMIs for this, but the further along you want to get, the more passes you will need to spend.

After that will be the Continent Cards and a smaller side promo to celebrate Owlient's 10th birthday for which you can win a Vintage Apple. This BMI will allow you to put a V3 coat on one of your horses. Each player can only win 1 VA. It cannot be traded in the Item Exchange and once a horse has been given a VA, that horse cannot be sold.

To find screenshots of V3 coats or what the promos will look like, have a look at pages 1356 & 1359. There is some other info dotted around these pages as well.

Piñatas? Kind of fun, actually. A Legendary horses promo, right? Still have piñata tack, hehe

WARNING: I missed the last few days of testing for this promotion. I was told by some that there were some changes made to the Scenes and Point Values. As such - some of this information might now be incorrect/obsolete - so please take this only as a guide of what to expect as opposed to concrete facts!

This contest is a kind of treasure hunt where the objective is to find the medallion of Amira, the legendary horse. You need to find objects on different scenes and collect points. These points allow you to win prizes.

Hourglasses:

You receive hourglasses that let you play:
►when you first log of the day (4 day)
► during grooming your horses (limited to 2 per day)
► victories during your horses in competition (limited to 2 per day)
► the black market against the pass when there is an operation

You begin with two games available, represented by hourglasses.
A timer turns while you look for objects.
There are a total of 11 items to find during a game. When you find an item:
► you earn 95 points
► a 10-second counter appears
If you find another object during those 10 seconds, you earn 15 bonus points.
There is no time limit to find the objects.

Points:
You earn points by playing a part. When you reach certain levels, you earn gifts (list available on the contest page)

Clues::
There are 5 scenes where you can find objects. At the end of each scene a clue must be found to proceed to the next scene.

Scenes:
There are 5 different scenes.
Each scene you complete gives you Amira equipment. So if you have completed the 5 scenes, you will get 5 equipment items that will allow you to transform one of your horses in Amira.

Speed Ranking::
A ranking of the fastest players is available on the contest page. There is a gift to win for first place!

History:
The chapters in the history of Amira will be released step by step during the competition for games played by the community. This way you will know all about the adventures of the mysterious Amira.


Amira
Amira is a beautiful Arabian mare. She lives in Egypt.

Some days she can hide. On days when it hides, it shows a UFO. For the lucky players, this UFO has a Chronos Timer or Piece of Cloud. To others, it gives Aging Points, Sand, or energy for your horses.

Game:: shows a special UFO if it is hidden
VIP: Automatically retrieve the leather on crops and meadows
This horse can not be sold. Note that Amira can not have foals.
~*~

Basically - it's a hidden object game. You'll use a timer and be shown a scene. You need to find all 11 items in the scene to earn points (faster you find them, the more points you can get). To the right - you'll see a list of the items (note you can only click on and clear an item if it's currently showing on your list *so you can't clear the pick axe shown in scene 1 until it appears on the list*)

Once you have enough points for a scene - the next time you play it, you'll find a clue as well. Finding the clue gives you a piece of Legendary Tack for Amira, and opens up the next area to search.
~*~

The following are pictures of where everything is to 'speed up' your searching. Though I do have a few notes about these images before I post them:

1. You can only 'clear' an item if it currently shows on your list *so you can't clear the Cobra until you list says Cobra*

2. The Clue only shows up once you hit a target point value. Based on my experience - the values seem to be around the following levels:

Scene 1 = 41,000 *Final prize at 42,000 points*
Scene 2 = 50,000 *Final prize at 54,000 points*
Scene 3 = 60,000 *Final prize at 66,000 points*
Scene 4 = 66,000 *Final prize at 78,000 points*
Scene 5 = 75,000 *Final prize at 90,000 points*

3. Some items will differ in how they look from scene to scene (ex. in one scene, the Vase is blue - in others, it's red - but still easily identifiable as a Vase)

4. All Items are in the same places for everyone and everyone has to find the same things (just not in the same order - so you might start by needing to find the Vase, Chest, Cobra, and Gemstones...I might start with Pick Axe, Cobra, Monkey, and Chest)

The notes aside - here's the 'Cheat Sheet' (I recommend memorizing what and where things are so that you can make sure you find items fast enough to get the additional time bonus):

Scene 1


Scene 2


Scene 3


Scene 4


Scene 5

*The Ancient Arch (the only one written in red) - has had its name changed to 'OLD CHEST'. Apologies I have not had time to update the image.

*Scene 5 is also the only scene where instead of being listed as CLUE - the final item has an actual name - it is unknown if this will change once the event goes live on this scene or the others before it
And one final treat - this is the final pop-up you will see after getting all 5 'clues':

*At present time, it is unknown if extra prizes means unlisted gifts or if it refers to gifts you have not yet gotten (for example - the Clues showed up between 1,000 to 15,000 points away from the final prize for each level depending on which scene you were on)

Tormenta is a legendary horse.

You can obtain her when you give the 5 pieces of Tormenta's legendary tack to one of your horses, or when you purchase a Tormenta pack.

On certain days, she can complete 2 missions. Upon completing the second daily mission, she gives a 10% training bonus in one skill to all your horses.

When Tormenta is obtained via the Tormenta pack, the probability that she can take on two missions a day is higher.
Game:
gives a 10% training bonus in one skill to all your horses if she completes 2 missions on the same day
VIP:
Automated retrieval of items crafted in workshops (except for buildings)

This mare cannot be sold.

NOTE: The Vintage Apple and its promotion are a ONE DAY event only - September 8th, 2015. If you miss it - that's it as it is not known at this time if this item will ever return

*Copied from the Preprod topic:

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.

~*~

*Remember - a horse can only be given a coat that matches its species. So this means that your choices for each species are:

Riding Horse = Riding Horse coats
Pony = Pony coats
Donkey = Donkey coats
Pegasus - Riding Horse breed = Pegasus Riding Horse coats
Pegasus - Pony breed = Pegasus Pony coats
Unicorn - Riding Horse breed = Unicorn Riding Horse coats
Unicorn - Pony breed = Unicorn Pony coats
Winged Unicorn - Riding Horse breed = Winged Unicorn Riding Horse coats
Winged Unicorn - Pony breed = Winged Unicorn Pony coats

Drafts, Wilds, Divines, and Legendary Horses can NOT be given this item

However - a horse is not limited by its breed - so you can put a Fjord coat on a Shetland pony. A Curly coat on a Friesian, etc. Here are some shots of potential choices:

Using it on a Riding Horse:


Using it on a Pony:


Using it on a Pegasus - Riding Horse breed:


Using it on a Unicorn - Pony breed:


Using it on a Winged Unicorn - Pony breed:


*There are a few issues right now with incorrect coats displaying for various kinds (ex. for Riding Horses - the option of 'Gypsy Vanner' coat shape displays as the 'Thoroughbred' coat) - so there are more options that what I've shown here, I just opted to show the ones that match up currently to their label.

And here's what you see when you choose a coat to give the horse:


*note the warning saying you can no longer sell the horse*

Once you've hit confirmed - you'll be taken to the horse's page and see the new coat:



You will also notice that the only option now for selling the horse is to send it to the Safe Haven;

On preproduction, we were able to get two VAs because the page lasted more than one day and we were able to reopen the gift box on the second day because it wasn't removed, which means that we were able to receive two VAs. On the live version, the page will only last a day so you will only be able to obtain one VA.
