Can someone help me out by showing me where the info on the cards promo is or what page? I saw a few pictures before but was wondering if someone posted the full info.

buy card packs with diamonds?

I believe it is possible to buy Joker Packs with Diamonds, but not purchase Cards at any time (not 100% sure though as I didn't do testing when the joker packs were offered)

So we can buy joker packs AND regular card packs? Do you recall the price they were at? I'm pretty sure I saw it somewhere, but I'm half asleep and my brain is giving up x)

There are no regular card packs per say this time - rather, you can purchase Cards with Passes at any time (there is no guarantee on what the rarity of these cards will be however:

1 pass = 2 cards
3 pass = 6 cards
5 pass = 12 cards
10 pass = 25 cards
20 pass = 55 cards
50 pass = 150 cards

Joker Packs will also be offered for the price of 2 Passes (or 20 Diamonds - found in my notes where it said it was possible to use them). Joker packs will give you 3 Bronze Joker Cards, and 1 Joker Card of a higher rarity (Silver, Gold, or Diamond)

Seems like it'll be more impossible than usual then to get the diamond cards? I had to use 45(!) card packs last time to just get the diamond cards required... Knowing my luck I'd get bronze only in the ordinary cards and only silvers in the joker cards. So much fun. Like it isn't hard enough to get all the cards you need... -.-

what price the vintage apple will be? and the limit to each player? when these come out wont it greatly decrease the value of diamond apples?

It will be free, because you will win it from an event. Limit is 1 per player and it has nothing to do with diamond apples because you cannot sell horses with VA.

Tormenta will be in the Cards, while Zaldia and Beucephalus' events are unknown.

The promo is free to do (and is not very hard to do) - and each player will only win ONE Vintage Apple from it. As for decreasing the value of Diamond Apples...it won't have any effect on them for a few reasons - key ones being that:

A. Vintage Apple horses can not be sold (nor can the item itself be traded) - as such, the 'value' of a Vintage Apple horse is all up to the owner

B. Vintage Apple coats are just the base V3 coat images and colors, you can not add markings to them like you could with a Diamond Apple

Okay, so the Vintage apple is basically like a golden apple then? You can change your horses coat to another V3 breed coat and the horses looks will change, but not the color. Correct?

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. You do NOT need passes or anything special for this event!

*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*
