The Black Pearl
pass 2 passes
Basic idea

Thanks to the Black Pearl, you can submit your drawings to be used for the Golden Apple or Helios' Ray.

You need at least 150 days of seniority and 5 karma points to use the Black Pearl.

Creation

If you want to create new artwork, you need to use specialized software (such as Photoshop or Gimp, which has the advantage of being free).

You must never copy a coat that already exists or an illustration you've found on another site. On the other hand, you can use photo references to help you, as long as you don't just copy them. Your style can be realistic or imaginary, it's up to you!

To send your illustrations, you must use the templates provided:

for the Golden Apple
for Helios' Ray
A black frame marks the position of the horse to help you position your landscape properly
The frame and the horse it contains must be deleted before you upload your artwork.

Your image must be placed on the transparent space on the provided template. You must not change the size or format of this template.

Selection

Once you have uploaded your artwork, it will be:

first submitted for other players to vote to evaluate its popularity
then submitted for confirmation by the team in order to ensure it complies with the submission criteria

During the voting phase, players can report abuse for artwork that doesn't adhere to the submission criteria or is plagiaristic in order to help the team.

Uploading

If, at the end of the month, your artwork hasn't won the support of the community or doesn't adhere to the submission criteria, you will then be reimbursed for the passes you spent.

Please note that we reserve the right to not reimburse passes in cases of clear plagiarism (please see submission criteria to find out more).

If one of your pieces of artwork is selected, on the day it is posted online, you will win:

10,000 equus
Passes depending on the type of illustration:
golden apple 40 pass for an unlimited Golden Apple coat and 20 passes for a coat with a limited number of uses
helios' ray 30 passes for a Helios' Ray landscape

The Zodiac divine Gemini has two different coat variations:

Win the first Gemini divine horse with piñata #19! (Dark - the green one)
Win the second Gemini divine horse with piñata #20! (Light - the white one)

There are 2 Gemini horses. If you have both, they will give you a present on the 11th of every month (after the daily update), provided you have logged in at least once over the previous 3 days: 1 x Fertility Wand to be used within 90 days.

If you were born under this sign, and you have both versions of Gemini, the horse will give you 1 x The 5th Element every year, on your birthday, if you log in on that day.

If you have both coat versions (one pair):

• The coat of both horses changes in order to show the second Gemini behind (Light and Dark).
• Players will receive a Fertility Wand every 11th day of the month.

The Fertility Wand

• Has a use-by date of 90 days
• Is given after the daily update

A message is added to your Office when the gift is delivered, indicating that the duration is limited (90 days).

The gift is given as many times as you have completed Gemini pairs.

Moreover, the image of the horses depends on the pairs of Gemini.

Example : If you own 3 Dark Geminis and 2 Light Geminis :

• Both Light Geminis wear the coat with the Dark Gemini behind
• Only 2 Dark Geminis wear the coat with the Light Gemini behind
• The third Dark Gemini wears the coat without Light Gemini behind
• The Fertility Wand is given twice every 11th day of the month (2 pairs of Gemini)

The fifth element:

As with the Fertility Wand, the 5th element given on the birthday of a player of this sign is given only if you have 2 versions of the horse.

However, only one variant of the horse is required for:

• Divine horse Serpentarius
• Trophies for the horses of the Zodiac and divine horses

~
*So if you want Serpentarius, are not a Gemini and don't care about the gifts -you can stop at Pinata 19!

Possible special offer is a Dice pack. This offer gets you 4 rolls for 1 pass instead of 2. Also available for purchase with diamonds

Preprod topic information

Piñatas contest makes a come back with a musical theme!

The goal is to click on your piñata to make it open and receive the gifts it contains. There are 20 to open with an increasing amount of points to collect. A new piñata appears when you have opened the previous one.

Some adjustments :

We reduced the number of clicks you need to do from 15 to 5.
We also reduced the total clicks you need to open a piñata.
Globally, a click brings more points than before and objectives bring more points.
You can also see the number of clicks and Staggering Blow you have left.

Objectives

Each piñata proposes goals to achieve. These objectives offer assistance to complete your piñatas faster. Do not avoid them!

Friends help

You can receive help from your friends to open your piñatas. It costs 300 equus.

More clicks

You can buy more clicks with passes all along the contest.

At certain moments in the contest, you will find points for your piñatas in Horn of Plenty. The number of points received depends on the piñatas: the last ones received more points than the first ones.

Piñata bonus

Each day you can click on the common piñata. If the piñata receives enough click before the end of the contest, every player who clicked on the bonus piñata will receive a Vintage Apple at the end of the event.

~*~
Staggering blows is just another word for Mace blow (the extra clicks you can buy from the black market for Passes and win from some of the objectives

By "last ones received more points than the first ones" when it comes to points in the HOPs, it means the more points it takes to break a Pinata, the more points you could get from a HOP.

For example

Pinata takes 100 points - you might win anywhere between 10 to 30 points
Pinata takes 1000 points - you might win anywhere between 75 - 100 points

In your objectives post pinata 6 is still listed as having 75 clicks. When I checked this against Craxors findings pinata 6 needed 100 clicks. I don't know which one is right but it does seem strange that pinata 5 and 6 both need 75 pinatas
