[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.

Given how many times we have only gotten 3 rounds, I'm fairly sure that keeping us just below the 4th unlock is a marketing tactic to get people to buy keys

I don't see myself buying the key in the future if nothing is changed. I bought it because I liked the prizes and could afford it, but I'm not going to continue to pay if the goal is impossible.

Im keeping everything or almost everything i played this event before. You have to spend crazy amount of equus to get top prizes . Thats why even when i bought passes it was my least favorite event to get the divine.

I personally don't mind having 8 hours for each session since it gives a bit more wiggle room, especially when this is competitive (and I'm not on so much lately). Players are more likely to be awake, much more log on, for all three sessions than for all four 6-hour sessions. default smiley :) For someone who only wants to keep prizes, though, that would definitely be annoying, but I doubt there's much the international server can do about it other than complain, so... default smiley (8)

That being said, I don't care that much about the rankings or prizes, so I'll just use all my UFOs for ranking points and see what I get. default smiley :-)) Unless I get lucky with a prize I want first try...

It would still be three sessions. The goal was for the amount of ufos per session, not for the amount of sessions we have.

Oh, I wasn't paying too much attention to what that prize bar even said since I barely clicked on that page. default smiley (lol) Maybe I was still thinking about that uneventful Lottery?

Well, having less UFOs per session might still help people who can only log on once per day if they still wanted to be able to compete in the rankings. default smiley :) Not so much about prizes, however, but oh well, none of the prizes in the list are very appealing to me other than Harmony Packs, I guess. Maybe HoPs?

I absolutely HATE this event. There is no way to be able to progress in this game if you are not on 24/7. Hello, some of us have jobs and do not live off Daddies money. default smiley :@

You don't have to be on 24/7, the ufos come one after the other in 8 hour sessions. If anything, you can try to time it so you can come on just before the current session ends, get the ufos, then catch the next ones when the session starts, repeat.

I want to see how low of a score I can get this time round �
that's what i'm doing. i'm keeping everything and only trading 3 times each round. i'm not spending money asking for the helpers. what i get is what i get. much better than the MBlood and maybe HRay i would get if i sent everything away

Please remember that if you don't have a TON of money EACH round to make tons of trades to MAYBE get better prizes. or will not get all of the UFOs (even missing ONE round) your chance of getting anything better than the Ow's HRay is slimmer than slim to none. Don't waste your time or Equus. Make reasonable trades and keep everything. Don't even waste the 1200e a round asking for help

you actually only need to be on like 20 minutes (if that i've gotten them in 10 minutes both rounds) each round. once you get on after a new round has started the UFOs come quickly

It takes a bit of planning ahead but it's still easy to make all three draws. For example my draws end at 5:00 am 1:00 pm and 9:00 pm. What I do (because I work during the day) is just go on in the morning for a minute and do the first UFOs, and then in the evening right before nine and right after nine.

I wonder didn't even think to look or check if everyone started (or at least had the opportunity to) start with the same amount of bonuses?? I did all my horseshoes plus the premium gifts and just feels like I've got enough bonus things to last me max 3 days if that ..?

My draws are at 7a.m, (driving to work already by then) 3p.m. (don't get home for another hour and then 11 p.m. (already in bed)
I get to enjoy 3 UFOs a day. I hope that those UFOs have great prizes. default smiley :d

I gave away a big prize to boost my score, and it was enough to put me in the standing for a Phanes' Egg. Sadly, it did not last long and now I'm waiting to go above for anything other than Medusa's Blood. default smiley (n)

I want the Lottery back next time we do the Great Challenge.
