**Please note, this guide does NOT take into account the Use of Passes/Diamonds/Horns of Plenty at any time outside of objectives that require it. In addition, though there are 20 Pinatas - this guide does NOT take one all the way to the 20th (as it is based on not using any additional Passes and the like outside of objectives) and is based solely on the Normal length of the promotion, a players ability to get all clicks (normal and friend), as well as do all objectives the same day they are given.

Also, keep in mind that this is based off MY experience - your results may vary.
Also, while this guide does NOT take into account Pass use - you are free to use Passes at any time to purchase extra hits in the form of Mace Blows. If able - this is actually advisable - especially if you only need a couple more points to break a Pinata as it will allow you to save on normal clicks/friend clicks!

Additionally - some of the objectives give Mace Blows (extra clicks) - you do not need to use these right away if you don't want to...However, this guide covers those that use them right away instead of hoarding them.

*You can not make it past Pinata 16 without using additional Passes/Horns of Plenty! If you wish to complete this event and use Passes - please see the next Spoiler for more information.*

So, you want to use Passes, eh? Well - I've a bit of advice for you;

1. Remember that Mace Blows are worth however many points your Normal Clicks are worth (so if your normal click is worth 1 point - your Mace Blow is worth 1 point).

2. Only purchase Mace Blows if you are only short a couple of points on a Pinata - this will actually help save you some passes/HOPs in the long run:

Ex. your clicks are worth 3 points, your pinata is at 96/100
1 Pass will get you 3 Mace Blows - So you can get your 6 points to break your Pinata, and you get to start off with 3 additional points on the next one thanks to that extra Mace Blow.

3. From Preprod - these are the average amounts of points one can find in a HOP for certain Pinatas (based on the use of 5 HOPs per Pinata - you may need to use More/Less on a Pinata)

Pinata 4: 15, 12, 16, 16 (14 points)
Pinata 5:15, 18, 13, 12, 16, (14 points)
Pinata 6: 33, 31, 31, 29, 26 (30 points)
Pianta 7: 35, 27, 28, 26, 34 (30 points)
Pinata 8: 28, 25, 29, 35,(28 points)
Pinata 9: 50, 59, 61, 50, 52, (54 points)
Pinata 10: 69, 59,52,70, 61, (62 points)
Pianta 11: 59, 57, 59, 50, 50, (55 points)
Pinata 12: 102, 108, 110, 113, 139 (110 points)
Pinata 13: 129, 137, 115, 125, 119 (125 points)
Pinata 14: 102, 140, 125, 138, 112 (123 points)
Pinata 15: 279, 273, 201, 237, 262, (250 points)
Pinata 16: 251, 251, 275, 234, 242, (250 points)
Pinata 17: 279, 269, 201, 262, 228 (247 points)
Pinata 18: 496, 428, 448, 512, 420 (460 points)
Pinata 19: 522, 500, 536, 526, 468 (510 points)
Pinata 20: 542, 525, 559, 493, 558 (535 points)

It is up to you to decide when/if you wish to use Passes. Personally, I advise doing the following;

1. Again, purchase Mace Blows if you are only short a few points for your Pinata

2. Always - Do the Objectives FIRST when you start a new Pinata!

3. Use the majority of your Passes/HOPs the first time they are offered ~ I advise using them sooner rather than later so that you can get to the harder pinatas faster (and have more regular clicks) - but feel free to save a couple for later if you wish.

In all my calculations - I've come out to one needing between 10 to 30 passes/HOPs *if one has some in inventory* to complete this promotion in full depending on when they decide to use their HOPs and Passes.

Decided to play around on Preprod with a few Titan's Challenges to see if I couldn't find out additional Divines on Level 7/8 (my luck is terrible though and I can't get past level 6)

But while I was playing with them - I saw this pop up as a prize;



A Magic Hat as a prize in the Titan's Challenge.

I've put in a query about it on Preprod - asking if its going to be a permanent addition OR a limited run in the TC thing as part of its release OR if its a glitch of sorts.

VIP:
Bulk horse registration in equestrian centers.

My budget for the trick or treat promo, is 50 passes, do you think I will get Bucephalus?

Balios

Magic Hat

Yup, it seems to work much the same as if you were going to board just a single horse:

Selecting the horses you want to board is much the same as doing bulk moves of horses with the VIP/Pegasus Account.


The ability to set a search for the Center you want - as well as options (note that all the centers shown have enough spots for all the horses)

However, depending on the skills of the horses you are trying to board - you might have bad luck finding exactly what you want.


Take this group of horses for example; All those Divines have 2000+ skills, the one Donkey has 130 skills. The highest EC skill requirement I found with this set was 100.

When I boarded the above group of just the Divines *without the Donkey* (again, they all have 2000+) - The centers that had skill requirements were all less than 2000 (with most being in the 1200 - 1700 range).

So for those worrying that Mass Boarding is going to mess up their center's prestige based on skills - it shouldn't have much of an impact on that as a player will be restricted by the Lowest Skilled horse they have in the group they are trying to board.

**Yes, in those images, a lot of the Centers have full benefits -but that's only because this is preprod and there are not as many players looking for ECs - thus, more spots open in some ECs that would otherwise be filled. Once this goes live - you might not be able to see the same result at all times.

Most players are coming up with needing between 20 to 30 passes it seems to complete the event. So if you have 50 passes you are willing to use on it, you should be fine.

The Magic Hat allows you to personalize the coat of your horse.

There are 4 personalization options that are chosen randomly when you put the item on your horse:

Enchanter
Evil Witch
Fairy
Shaman

► Each coat is animated.
► When available in the Black Market, it costs 2 passes.
► If you get this item in your inventory you have 3 months to use it.*
► You can give the item to horses from 18 months.
► It can be given to all horses except the Donkeys, Divine, Legendary and Wild horses.
► It gives your horse a +5 bonus in each skill.

What are the effects of each coat?

Enchanter: when a horse wears this coat, you do not use food when you feed it. (All of your horse's food becomes free.)

Evil Witch : when your Evil Witch horse participates in a competition, it brings a penalty of 3 points on each skill to every other horse. It does not work on the Grand Prix.

Fairy: the Fairy horse gets a +5 bonus on each skill.

Shaman: the appearance of a Shaman horse changes every time he gets older. It can get:

► Its own coat
► One of the other Magic hat coats
► One of the Bewitched Pumpkin coats (except the ghost)
► One of the Seal of the Apocalypse coats (except Pestilentia)

The Shaman horse has the advantage of the coat it wears. If it gets its own coat it does not receive a special advantage.



The Magic Hat cannot be used in conjunction with another special coat. If you give your horse a Golden Apple and then a Magic Hat, your horse will lose their Golden Apple.

*Referring to winning it as a prize from the Halloween promotion/titan's challenge and the like. If you buy the item/give it to a horse - the horse will keep the coat forever!

mass boarding.

It seems Mass Boarding can not be used if the boxes are reserved.

I reserved 13 boxes in my center for myself (no skill requirement) and selected 13 different horses from one of my breeding farms.

While I had the option of choosing my own Center - there was no "reserved boxes' tab, and I could not find my Center by searching either with the boxes reserved to myself if I was trying to board more than one horse at a time.

So to answer the question - Nope, reserved box boarding must still be done one horse at a time.

mass boarding.

Is the Witch's Hat BMI out yet?
