Anyone know how many passes are needed for the Ikebana companion?

Memory game sounds fun, but am I the only one sick of pastry divines? I just don't like them and they are a pain. They take forever to fill the sugar, what's the point if it isn't full/almost full anyways, and you have to have both which is really quite the gimmick. They just don't do anything for me. Well, another cheap promo for me after Ikebana I guess.

The pastry horses are some of my personal favorites, but I might take a pass on these two due to not been keen on their designs and I feel that only two possible breeds is a tad on the boring side as it limits possible coats you can get.

Sounds pretty weird to me, since

1) both Delights are much better looking than the muffins... oh, sorry, the croissants
2) Barb + Arabian breeds count 27 different coat types, pretty much just the same count that the female muffin (sorry, croissant! ) is about with its 3 breeds available

Not arguing, just saying

I'm not personally a fan of "neon" colored designs unless they are done to a somewhat natural design and are just thrown in a bit. I liked the two from this promo as I liked the color palette and the breeds interest me. I guess design is just preference, but I personally consider the two from the hike promo better looking.

I'm so happy that it will be possible to get the new companion without spending passes! It's the only thing I really want from the Ikebana event. It's good to see that I'm not the only one who's tired of all the pastry horses. The ones in the Ikebana event look pretty cool though, but they're just a pain to me, so won't be going for them.

I like the ones that are currently up. The graphics crack me up an make me laugh every time I see them.
Considering they offer Trotters and Carmargue I'll be one sad cookie I cannot get the male, so my mare can have a hubby.

I have no idea just how long it takes for a Pastry mare before she has all the pearls - anyone knows?

Regarding the memory game, I'll have massive troubles resisting those 2 Pastries.... I mean Arabs AND Barbs.... dang it Howrse

They "only" hand over rolling gain foundies.... but those 2 breeds loads of love to those

The fact that we get a new companion only sweetens the deal for me

the memory game?

the memory game?

the Ikebana flower event. Within the last couple of pages I posted the page number that has posts about it, but now I can't find my post, nor remember the page number

On the last page (2341) I posted the info for the Memory event, which will be after the Ikebana

in the Ikebana event, the flowers are regenerating 1 flower every 4 hours, or all the flowers each 4 hours?

They have different rates of regeneration:

Buds/A: 8 hours (X3)
Blossom/B 6 hours (X5)
Flower/C 4 hours (X6)

The number in brackets is how many it will 'store' for you if you don't claim them. After that it will stop regenerating until you pick them up.

So for buds, you'll get 1 new bud every 8 hours, but if you don't pick them up you wont get any more after 24 hours.

It worried me at first how it was going to work. But as long as you make sure your visits have 24 hours or less between them you should be fine.

Based on what people were reporting on the test server it was taking people most people 3000 - 4000 passes , you can mitigate it as you can get (just from memory not accurate) a max of around 350 fragments from the event so the cost is probably closser to the 3000 passes mark - but it's luck based so you might just get lucky and find the jackpot in the golden fleeces

For the memory game, does anyone have a absolute minimum pass calculation to finish it? Let’s just say you got really lucky when guessing.

It took me 4000-ish passes in total but in the beginning I wasn't using the best strategy for making matches, so I'd guess somewhere around the 3000-3500-ish range
