Supposedly, while as far as I know - Timers will only be able to be bought for Passes...There is going to be a Double Timers event (so instead of 1 pass = 2 timers...1 pass = 4 Timers).

If anyone can confirm/knows otherwise - feel free to correct me.

I had to make a brand new one after some items changed names, and some items from the original were removed. *And apologies there is no label on the Sarcophagus.

The Puzzle Cards


*As the rarities can be a little hard to tell on these as well, I have also written the Rarity of the cards in the order they appear above the puzzles.

A note about the Prizes of Tormenta's Tack...

While you can get unlimited amounts of Tormenta's Saddle, Bridle, and Saddle Cloth from the cards...you will only be able to get ONE of her Polo Wraps and Ear Bonnet*. As such, you will only be able to make ONE Tormenta from this event.

*Tormenta's Ear Bonnet - though not shown in my images - is the prize for completing all 7 puzzles.

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:


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;



Other Information

Remember that the Vintage Apple is just a customization item. It will NOT actually change the breed, skills, species, etc. of your horse:


Take this horse for example - while the image shown is that of a Dun Shetland, you'll notice her breed is still listed as Quarter Pony, her coat color as Black Tobiano, and her genetics match that of a Foundation Quarter Pony. Thus - she still counts as a Quarter Pony for trophies, breeding purposes, etc.

Vintage Apple coats are the old V3 graphics (Those we had before the current ones) - as stated, the older V1 and V2 graphics can not be used due to issues they would have with the new base backgrounds and Helios' Ray background.

Vintage Apple Horses can NOT be sold - except to the Safe Haven.

A player will only be able to win ONE Vintage Apple by finding the Candles - as such, you will not be able to have more than one Vintage Apple Horse.

However, while the VA can not be traded, gifted, or sold through the Item Exchange - it can be offered as a Custom UFO for Pegasus/VIP account holders - so a player could find an extra one via this method should someone make their VA into a UFO. *Yes, I have more than one in these screen shots - but that's only because on Testing, they gave us more than one to work with to make sure we could find all the bugs and the like!

*While the clues for this promotion are incredibly easy to solve...if anyone wants them - Apologies that this only contains clues 1 to 7 confirmed - Clues 8 and 10, I'm 95% certain I have correct. Clue 9 is unknown *Due to issues with clue 8 during testing*

Can anyone bring up an image of the C____ divine for me please?

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.

Hello,

The bonus is training progress.

For instance, after you complete two missions with Tormenta in the same day, all of your other horses that are at least 2 years old will receive 10% training progress in one of the skills that is not yet maxed.

The perk does not stack if you own more than one Tormenta.

Cheers,
MeOw

Now while I have not found a confirmation on this (be it from someone else's observations or my own) - I believe it means the following:

I have 5 horses on my account - 3 fully trained, 2 trained in 5 out of 6 skills (we'll say Dressage is the skill)

Tormenta does two missions in one day.

The two that still need training in Dressage will be given a 10% progress boost towards completing their training in that skill (without losing time from their day) and the three who are fully trained get nothing.

Of course, if a horse has more than one untrained skill (ex. Trot, Gallop, and Dressage) the boost would be given to one of those skills at random.

However, I have not been able to find if that 10% boost is 10% of the progress already made OR 10% of the total amount the horse needs to be trained.

Based on the URL of the main image - that horse's name is Zaldia.

Here's the testing URLs from Equideow:

However, we have no information what his/her perks are, nor how he/she will be acquired.

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!
