[Event] The Great Challenge and the Treats Battle



The Great Challenge

and Festivities



The Great Challenge is back, and this time it will be followed by the Treats Battle.


How to play?


Click to display
As usual, this contest takes place in two parts:

The Great Challenge phase: Collect horseshoes by completing in-game objectives.

The Festivities (Treats Battle) phase: Catch UFOs and decide to keep the gift (and lose points), send it to another player (and gain points), or spend Equus for a chance at a different UFO.

Note: there are no divine fragments in the daily objectives during this contest.


Part 1: The Great Challenge

Click to display
Collect Horseshoes: Every day, perform various actions to collect up to 100 horseshoes. 120 if you have bought the Premium Key.

Unlock Gifts: As you gather horseshoes, you'll unlock awesome gifts at certain thresholds, like game items, fragments and more.

Special Jackpots: Keep an eye out for the free Jackpot and other bonuses that await.

Community Goals: When you claim a gift, you also contribute to a community goal. Achieving this goal means more UFOs for everyone in the upcoming Battle!


Premium Key

Click to display
Buy the Premium Key with Passes to access:

Marvelous Premium Gifts: Gain access to exclusive gifts.

Extra Horseshoes: Increase your daily horseshoe limit to 120, helping you to catch up or to get ahead faster.

Buy the Premium Key early for maximum benefit, but remember, it's never too late!

The gifts that have been unlocked but not claimed during the Great Challenge part are automatically given when the Festivities start.




Jackpots



Free - Hermes' Winged

Staff


It allows you to use the Black Market's item of your choice for free, regardless of its value in passes.



Premium - Raven


Companions wake up during your horse's first action of the day. And they fall asleep when your horse ages. Raven gives a bonus of +14 in Trot.


New divine:

Romanticism


Throughout the contest, you can find fragments of the new divine horse Romanticism from the Art History Horses series.



Part 2: The Treats Battle


Click to display
The Festivities will start right after the Great Challenge ends.

Catch UFOs: During the festivities, your task is to catch UFOs in three daily sessions, with the number of UFOs based on your horseshoe collection.

Make Choices: After catching a UFO, decide to keep the gift (and lose points), send it to another player (and gain points), or spend Equus for a chance at a different UFO.

The value of the UFO's content affects the points you win or lose. You can wait to decide but can't catch new UFOs until you choose.

Bonus Items: Win bonus points by using items earned from horse competitions, friends' help, or your participation in the Great Challenge.

Climb the Ranks: Accumulate points to rise in the rankings, unlocking gifts associated with your rank and those below.

The UFO's have been sad to say the least. I keep getting offered Aging points, kitsune, and Croesus Fortune offers (offered to me *6* times on Thursday).default smiley (n) Had one tears which I kept.

I think the buying the key was the better option as you did spend passes, but got more desirable items.

This is hilarious! default smiley xd

I decided to trade my UFO yesterday and got Aging points. I traded today and got another undesirable Croesus Fortune.

I'm having unfortunately bad luck with this promo.

to be honest. i wouldn't waste your money on bonuses. take what you get. do reasonable trades. unless you are pretty high up best you can do is a Medusa's blood. maybe a ow's hray

I'm going for the Phanes' Egg, and maybe a Harmony Pack, mostly. Everything else I don't need much of so I can leave those. default smiley ;) (I do need Bloods and Ow's Rays, but I'll be getting that with my rank anyway!)

That's strange that the people with extremely low ranks get only the lowest-end stuff, though. I'd think that the chances were already evened out based on the choices of players? At the beginning, I improved my ranking with the Fortunes and 5000 equus ones, then when I started ranking higher (surprisingly to me default smiley :o), I increased the limit that I would trade prizes for. Now I'm only trading in prizes that are below the Kitsune level (yep, I set the bar pretty low for someone of my rank, since you can't be TOO optimistic that you'll get an awesome prize default smiley ;)), and now I'm hanging out within 200th-101st. I hardly spent more than 200 equus for exchanging in most rounds (max I ever spent was 800 for maybe two or three rounds) and of course, the usual 3000 equus for bonuses each day. I really want that Phanes' Egg! default smiley :d

If I ever get a Harmony Pack, though... that would be a moral dilemma. default smiley (8)

When you caught your last UFO, did you make a choice on what to do with it? If it's still sitting there waiting for you to give away, keep or trade, you have to choose an option before you get another one

Just saying, we should have a final two hour session on Monday before it ends, as it isn't like the lottery where draws are at a certain time. default smiley (y)

I haven’t seen a harmony pack or a fertility wand. I got one HOP on my first day and I’ve seen very few bears and tears (I’ve kept two bears). I’m getting heels when I do get a BMI and a lot of low tier items which I sadly don’t need or want. I would love to get some wands or timers but it doesn’t wanna give me them. It’s probably also a me problem since I focus on one breeding project, I don’t have alot of use for the BMIs I am getting like the tears and heels. So my luck isn’t necessarily bad since I’m getting some decent items just not the ones I want. It’s still a nice event that I enjoy.

Oh the UFO's are terrible. I've gotten the same items over and over, Kitsune, Croesu's Fortune and aging points. Once I got the Aphrodite's Tears and kept them but othen than that nohting else. I should probably try exchanging on the last few days if I get any reasonable ones, but other than that I haven't even bothered to waste my Equus or passes on bonuses and what not. It's not worth it default smiley (n)

On 9488th place��� On my way to be on the last page

Pretty happy with prizes i got, even tho I traded a lot, but I think overall i didn't spend more than 100k equus (which might be a lot for some people, but with 2x Harmony packs, HoP, 3x Fertility Wands, 2x Bears, Aphrodite's tears, 3x Achilles heels, 9x Kairos deals and more minor prizes, I'm really happy with what I have)
