I was going to say I bet its something for the future.

Very glad we can now see how many BMI we have. It was a huge pain before.

But why have they already added the search parameters and trophy to the game if it's still a spoiler? Can we not openly talk about it seeing as they have now technically 'announced' it? default smiley (8)

Because updates are done preemptively on Tuesdays to integrate the new features, and Divines are launched on Thursdays.

The Welsh Corgi pet horse, a new series of hybrids, will launch on Thursday.

You don't need to restart. I did my first 3 by helping others. There is no need for you to get a new one. default smiley :)

I appreciate that but I have 26 Wilds and 28 Chimeras. I pretty much think I have already completed a few of how ever many levels they may have without starting from scratch. I'm not working any of my Wilds or Chimeras because they are done. Now I'm suppose to fish them out of retirement????

This whole thing just ticks me off. default smiley (li)

I'm a bit confused about achieving these newest trophy objectives.
Once you've fully tamed your chimera or wild horse it's impossible to help others with training theirs, correct? Or am I missing something?
So, if all of my wilds and chimers are fully tamed , it's impossible for me to work on these new trophies until I'm able to get a new one that's not tamed yet?

Tamed Wilds and Chimeras can help other players tame theirs.

Even if you have them all, and they're all tamed,you can work towards the trophy because "help" is included in the task. You can just pull one out to check a day, although I think there's a 10 a day help limit. If there's many players asking for help that day, you may want to check other Wilds/Chimeras you own

Thank you for the answer, Legacy Ann.
However, I'm still confused. Lol
I checked the page for my chimera and wild and didn't see any botton/option for helping another player? Where do I find this option or how can I do it?

It's a button that appears near the tamed horses box. I'm not sure where it's at on mobile though.

Help requests dwindle a week or so out of a Wild or Chimera release because players like to get them tamed quickly. We'll probably have to wait for another release to really start working on the trophy as there will be more help requests put out

Bah, I forgot there is a Wild available now. Don't mind medefault smiley xd
I'm guessing those that wanted it have bought i, and/or the requests are just getting accepted by others quite quickly

I bought two and I am going to strictly only ask for help. It will take longer, but I don't mind, I bought them for these trophies. That said, I did accidentally ask for help on one while I was trying to catch a request, so oops. default smiley xd Luckily it was low end, so I only lost a few help requests.

Finally! Thank you so much. Been waiting for an update to allow us to see how many we have of black market items so I wanted to take an extra second to say thank you for finally implementing that! Or bringing it back it's been so long I can't remember if we had it once (I feel like we had) but it's sincerely appreciated nonetheless.

No it didn't. We were able to see the quantity in inventory until they began the redesign of the black market page, which wasn't ten years ago.

I'm not buying doubles of Wilds or Chimeras they're not worth it. I especially dislike Chimeras.

I'm on levels 4 and 2 for those by fulfilling the help requests with my tamed horses.

Having an untamed one will just make the process a bit quicker, because you're not having to wait for the occasional help request to show up.

Outside of the trophies I don't care for the wilds and chimeras, I bought 2 to max them out as fast as possible, that's the only reason. default smiley :) I probably won't buy anymore wilds outside of these two. I know it seems like a waste of passes, but the 300ish I lost can be made up on a good weekend with my divines, so I don't mind losing some in order to gain more prizes in the long run that can benefit my game. I don't have the next divine yet, so it's a win for me, as without the wilds I picked up it could have been quite a while until I got the points required for the divine. default smiley (y)

@Rath
we used to have it before they removed it on several BMI pages (but not all) like a year ago to negative response, but it's such a basic thing I'm surprised* it took so long to change back. imo it was probably done to make you more likely to buy an item with passes because you didn't realize you had them (or knew how much you had) in your inventory?

*except I'm really not.
