I'm not sure I can say I like the new wandering horses that are going to come out (taiga, desert, moot, etc). Something just doesn't look right about them. It doesn't seem 'Howrse' style.

Did anyone else notice that a lot of the horses have the exact same body just with different decoration?...Most of them are literally exactly the same from the base.

Does anyone know a rough estimate of what it will take to get Each W.H?

Hey, does anybody know when the next cards promo will be? I missed the last celtic cards one!

We haven't tested it on a test server yet so we don't know much about them yet.

We only know that we will have a Birthday event and card next. We don't know when the next card event will be.

So to be clear, the Wandering Horses promo is next?

Yes, sort of. We will be having a Birthday Celebration for Howrse before the WH but it will be at the same time as the current promo. At least that was how it was on the test server

Next big event after Ow's Memories is the Wandering Horses. Like last time we’ll have to wait to unlock some of the horses so not all will be available right from the start. You don’t do anything special to unlock them we just have to wait a few days. The length I had to wait differs from what Equideow players are reporting so it’s possible the wait times will change when this goes live, and as such I didn’t write down what the times were, but the order in which I’m listing them should be the order they unlock with at least two unlocking a day.

You can also give these horses x number of colored crystals, which give 1 point each, to unlock instead of only doing the objectives. I indicated next to each horse what color crystal it requires. Regardless, you have to reach 100 points through the objective/crystal to obtain each Wanderer. You get crystals from: UFOs (players can put them as personal UFOs as well), buying with passes throughout the contest or buying them in Crystal Packs.

List of W.Horses including: crystal color, objective, points give per objective, **my** estimate, and prize.

>>Taiga: Won at end of tutorial
=Prizes: x100 carrots, 1 Fertility Wand, 1000equus

>>Rainforest: (red crystal) Log in for the first time each day-6 points per day.
-Estimate: About 17 log ins required or 100 red crystals
-Prizes: Philotes Stroke, Medusa’s Blood

>>Bush: (orange crystal) Take part in competitions- 0.1 points per competition ***NOTE*** the points earned per competition entered will likely depend on the number of horses you have so players with less horses should likely get more points per participation.
-Estimate: 1000 competitions for me at .1 point per comp. Or 100 orange crystals
-Prizes: Philosopher’s Stone, Achilles’ Heel

>>Desert: (Yellow crystal): Give crystals to other horses- 0.3 points per crystal given. ***NOTE*** giving crystals to the community Wanderer does NOT count towards Desert.
-Estimate: 334 crystals given to other horses or 100 yellow crystals given to Desert
-Prizes: Shower, Themis Scales

It was a horse’s 50th birthday last time, and is the birthday noted on Equideow so it’s *possible* a horse has to reach its 50th this time. Placing a Piece of Cloud Pack on your horse and aging it back worked last edition and worked on preprod as well.

We’re getting crystals in Crystal Packs.

Crystal Packs (1 pass or 10 diamonds): Each pack contains
6 x Blue crystal
6 x Purple crystal
6 x Red crystal
6 x Orange crystal
6 x Yellow crystal

I listed all the prizes next to each corresponding Wanderer in the spoiler above, but here is an overview with Alga’s description

Read through the list of Wanderer objectives to see what you’ll need for each and stock up beforehand since the cost of older horses and Pegasus in sales will go up. During the contest make sure you read when each Wanderer will unlock because points for it won’t count until it’s unlocked. For example, on day one you open Horns of Plenty, but you won’t get points for the Atoll Wanderer because he isn’t unlocked yet.
-Catch all crystal UFOs possible. Though you might want to pass on colors you don’t need so the next crystal UFO will hopefully be a color you do need. EX: Savanna requires you to remove Pegasus wings and he also takes orange crystals. You may want to pass on the blue crystals that go towards easy Wanderer objectives in favor of finding orange crystal UFOs

*****Overall spending:******
There is some crafty math involved here thanks to Desert (give 334 crystals to other horses or 100 crystals to him) but being strategic about how you do this can decrease your pass cost considerably, especially if you already have HoPs in stock because then you only need to buy Crystal Packs. Make sure you leave at least 1 Wanderer of each color crystal unfinished that you can give crystals to to earn points for Desert.

I'd suggest leaving the colors with harder objectives unfinished so you don't have to do that action several times (example, leave the orange crystal horse Savanna unfinished if you don't want to de-wing loads of Pegasi). It will help to list each Wanderer under its corresponding crystal color so you'll easily see which horse needs which color crystal.

My overall advice for this one is to just read each Wanderer information now so you can stock up on items/horses and read the instructions carefully when the contest starts so you know which Wanderer unlocks when.

The Community Wandering Horse
Each time the community gives 2000 crystals to the horse, a Wandering Community Horse is triggered and will wander from player account to player account even after the contest ends and until the next edition of wandering horses.

The goal is that the entire community gives enough crystals to the community horse to activate its appearance on the game.

The number of crystals to give to the community horse to activate a copy is 2,000.

As soon as this goal is reached, the progress bar returns to 0 and you can begin again to give crystals to activate an additional copy of the community wandering horse.

Each copy of the community horse stays on the game after the contest ends until a new edition of the Wandering Horse contest arrives on the game.
Where does the community horse begin?

When a copy of the Community Wandering Horse has been enabled, it arrives in Ow's breeding farm.

Starting from the following daily update, the horse leaves Ow's breeding farm and visits another player's breeding farm for a duration of 24 hours. When this 24-hour period is over, the horse leaves that player's breeding farm to go and visit another player's breeding farm, and so on and so on.

The player who receives the visit from the community nomad is selected from all the players:
- who logged in the day before
- having completed the tutorial
- having not been visited by another Community horse in the last 30 days

When a player receives a visit from the community nomad, they are notified by a private message.

In addition to receiving a visit from the community wandering horse, we offer this player a chance to buy the Wanderer's Spirit item on the Black Market during that period of time.

****note*** it’s possible that more than one community Wanderer could be enabled and float around the game after the contest ends. Underneath his picture you can see we've activated two copies so far on preprod.

Moor, Abyss, and Atol seem the hardest fir me. I dont have a HoP stock.l

Do we get the Divine by unlcocking every wanderer?

Do we get to keep the wanderers to take care of or do they go away?

Will we only get those prizes once?
