[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.

I've had nothing better than one fertility wand and a couple of arrows, oh and a few dials. Everything else has been small items and loads of Croesus Fortunes. Even when I swap I never seem to get the really good things so I don't really bother much with this one, just keep what I might use, occasionally try a swap and use the rest to get points. I've played this many times and never got anything higher than the Medusa's Blood. I did think I might sneak into the Ow's Ray this time but it's not going to happen.

I chose to keep a HOP but it’s not in my inventory. Will it show up over time or after the event?

It goes straight to your inventory once you decide to keep it.
Did you check your item history to see if it was added?

I want to be ranked 10,000 does anyone know the total number of people participating? I'm closing in on it without anything better than tears. I'm also hoarding disks... maybe they'll be useful somewhere else?

There are currently 9,915 players, with the player in last place having -2385. When the event ends the medals will disappear and they will not be able to be used in the future.

Fun fact, you can figure out what your placement would have been if you remove the - if you kept everything. After looking at the ranking, I would have only just managed top 200, what would I have had to give up? 2 harmony packs, 1 timer, 1 hop, 6 tears, 5 wands, 3 heels, and 7 dials. It's safe to say, I am glad I have kept everything, as that placement would have only got me 2 phanes eggs, a wand, an Ow's ray, and a m blood. I'd go so far to say that only one of those two harmony packs were worth more than those items combined.

So if I'm calculating right, will there be one more round of treats 2 hours before the promo ends? I know there's one in less than 1 hour (2 hours before update) so once I get those treats I can go to bed and set my alarm to catch the last round.

There should be, as we don't have to wait a certain time for the prizes. This has been the case in previous versions, at least.

Same! I would've placed in the same category, and I'm happy I didn't go for it! I have kept sooo many great prizes and with amount of equus I spent I would be devastated to be placed only in 200th smth place!

I concentrated on getting the raven and only picked up money,bypassing all the prizes. So where did I land? 278th. I focused on points only. Sigh, it was fun but the wait was so long I fell asleep.

Currently ranked 9841!! This is an all-time low for me, and I must say it's somewhat fun to try and achieve the lowest score possible haha
I also got a bunch of pretty decent BM items with zero Equus spent, so no complaints this timedefault smiley (y)

Interestingly, i was very lucky in the first two days. Lots of HoP, CT, HP, tears, and now it's hard to get even an arrow... I've been running after divine all the time, but something tells me i'll get a raven default smiley :(

Luck really wasn't on my side during this event. Didn't catch or exchange any good prices, only 1 HOP, 2 Fertility Wands during whole event.. At least I managed to build up my ageing points. I really wanted to get few Harmony Packs default smiley :(
