It does look like you can add infinite Phanes Eggs to your Donkeys and drafts. I've used two on the same donkey mare, and she's up to 6 covers right now (2 extra from the Phanes Egg, and 1 from my Tianma).

Water Balloon Fight that takes place after the Great Challenge. First image are the actual UFO prizes, second is the ranking prizes(Medusa's Blood, Ow's Ray,Fertility Wand, Phanes Egg, Tyche's Crown, Eros Egg, Zebra, Jenny)

Bonuses and Points for UFOs:
Points for each UFO is above the prize image. I haven't yet caught a Harmony Pack, HoP or Tears, but the points are probably the same as last time, if anyone has them still.
Bonuses:
1 bonus used =8 points
2 bonuses= 4 more points
3 bonuses= 2 more points
4 bonuses = 1 more point
Therefore, if you used 4 bonuses to boost your ranking you'll get +15 extra points total.
The same applies if you decide to keep your UFO prize and lose points in the ranking.
1 bonus= lose 8 points
2 bonuses= lose 4 more points, etc.

how many points do we gain/lose with the ufos we catch during the water balloon fight ? thanks

...can the Phanes Egg be applied to uni donkeys and uni drafts? I'm guessing no, since it says all breeds, but not species...but wanted to ask to be sure. Thanks!

However, I haven't yet caught a few of the higher UFO prizes, and am out of equus to keep trading to get them. The points look to be the same as they were the last time, so if anyone still has those somewhere, or finds them buried in the spoiler topic, we can include them. Or if someone has caught them on preprod.

I don't really understand the reasoning behind the premium rewards here.

It's great to introduce a completely new concept around divines, but objectively, they are unappealing, as they do not give passes or black market items -- I struggle to see anyone spending months accumulating passes to spend on these guys.

So I'd assume they would give better rewards, so that people could be like "I took the key for these items and turns out I really like the zebra, so I'll open some crowns to get the couple and experiment".

Should it be justified to put a 'pay wall' of 600 pass for items that come back regularly just because the big reward is labelled as a divine?

It feels quite underwhelming but I don't know if I'm the only one. '^^

Does anyone know what the objectives for the water balloom fight will be like? Are they going to be more like the daily objectives or more like the objectives we had with the wandering horses? Also, can water balloons only be sent to friends?

The objectives are only for the Great Challenge portion, and are fairl simple. A few change out daily, like winning a certain comp, applying a BMI from a certain category, adding a companion, while others were each day, such as entering the Grand Prix, entering any comp, donating a horse to Ow.

Each objective was worth a different number of horseshoes, and you can do them multiple times. Entering a comp was worth 1 horseshoe, so if you wanted to enter 100 comps to get your daily shoes you could. Or do different objectives to get them all

I think it's only friends you can send balloons too, but I'm not positive. It's random who you send them to, even if it is a friend though, and only friends can send you bonuses

I think, outside of the art, another issue I have is the marking and color choice. Like, "zorse" exist in real life, being the offspring of a zebra and an equine, so why couldn't they have just gone down the path of making them based on real "zorse" instead of making them unnatural? Why not just create a special horse species and then make the genetics based on what the zebra and the horse looked like? There are many unique "zorse" out there, to the point you could probably make hundreds of unique combos. I know people might think differently, but I'd rather see more realistic markings and colors instead of thousands of unnatural designs that just won't look good.

This zorse thing is making my head spin

From Howrse.de

So, as you know the Pinata event has received an Update, with the addition of the Premium Key.

Is the Key worth it?
- If you are going for the Divine, Yes. There is no going around it, if you're aiming for Little Mermaid the key will be very useful in the fact that for the price of 600 passes you get 125 more fragments (value of 600 passes if you open Tyche's crowns with the Discount) AND a Shark Chimera thrown into the mix for free.

- If you are going for the prizes, Yes. The new trophy requires a pet that is only obtainable through the Premium Key.

- If you are short on time, Yes. The Key will give you 5 more points per click which, while they might seem innocuous, actually make a very marked difference the more we go on. It's the reason why I have to split my Pace Checker in two.

So, in short, if you have 600 passes at hand, consider investing them into the Premium Key. It is still possible to get to the end without paying a single pass, with dedication and a little bit of strategy, but it is a non-insignificant advantage.


If you are considering purchasing the Key, do so immediately or as soon as possible and follow Plan I (one).

If you are not purchasing the Key, know that you WILL still be able to get to the end, and follow Plan II (two)

Has Zephyrus been released yet? I know a couple of the Windy boys were in higher luck items and the rest in HoPs, but I have no memory of Zephyrus's release lol.
