Do you know how many passes on average people have spent on the Cards promotion to complete it?

a picture of a Candle?

When will the cards start?

the vintage Apple starts today yes?

vintage apple be going on for only 1 day, or for several days? If it's going on for several days, then how many days?

Does anyone know how Altair will be "re-relased" if it actually does happen again?

Vintage Apple?

September 8th *tomorrow*, after update time (This is when Owlient's Birthday is)

Legendary horse?

Cards Promotion?

Card Promotion?

We already have Altair and Amira...Tormenta will be added in the next week or so, and I feel Zaldia's promotion will probably start towards the end of the Month. Then it will probably go to Bucephalus event sometime in October (I'm guessing towards the Middle of the month).

Either sometime this week, or Monday of next week. All we can do is wait and see.

when you use a vintage apple, does it change the breed/coat color in the description to match the coat you put on, or does it retain the description of the horse "underneath" so to say?

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*
