Does anyone know if when the breeders reserve is merged with the EC reserve if we will be able to exchange things from the secret market with things from the black market? for example a horn of plenty exchanged for a horn of lushes in the item exchanges.

The "new" RCs will not count toward the coat's total count, but will count toward the collector's trophy?

For example, say coat I Am Rare retired at 100 uses. Two uses died and so now it's down to 98 copies. A player uses the new item to purchase a copy of I Am Rare, which makes their total collected number of coats 500, and their number of under-100 coats 300.

I Am Rare still registers at 98 uses, but the player gets their trophy for both collecting an RC *and* for collecting one under 100 uses.

That makes sense, and I think that's a decent idea, if Howrse goes through with this new item.

I don't collect RCs here, but I do on Caballow, and every one of the coats I have (that are retired) are <100 uses. I don't want that messed up by a new item that lets players buy already-retired coats. I've worked hard for the rare retired coat trophies that I have, but if there are more copies sold, then that could raise the count of some of my coats above 100, and I could lose my trophies.

However, your idea for only counting towards the trophy would be fantastic. While I don't want to de-value the RCs, there are a couple of recently retired coats that I missed that I would very much like to get. If this *ONLY* counted for the trophy, and *NOT* towards the coat's total count, then I think that would be reasonable, and it would give people an opportunity to get the coats they missed that they would like to have.

The Lipizzan
It looks the same as the Lusitano though
He will be in the Penguin gifts in the Magic ride

Some things from the new features page
"Stores are also merged. The different departments remain well identified depending on what you want to buy. If droppings can no longer be purchased at the store, manure is made available in the Agriculture Department so that you can purchase it directly without having to make it.

Also, because of this merge, the Equestrian Center can no longer be reset or deleted."

"Forest rides improve:

Speed
Gallop
Trot

Mountain rides improve:

Stamina
Dressage
Jumping

These rides take a few more hours than before but the energy cost per hour has decreased. Without the benefit of the Equestrian Center location (see next point), your horse will take the same time as before to finish them"
"Beach Rides still allow you to transfer points from one skill to another. From now on, you can choose the skill that will gain points and the skill that will lose points. If a choice is not made, the skill that will gain points will be the highest, and the skill that will lose points will be the lowest." (yay) "Now, beach rides require the same amount of time no matter the genetic potential of the horse.

Reminders:

Exchanged points correspond to 2.5% of genetic potential.
Walks at the beach do not count towards the BLUP"
"Did you make a mistake in choosing the location of your center? Don't panic! With the next update, you'll be able to change locations as many times as you like for a period of 30 days, in order to test all of the possibilities available to you! "
