Puzzle Contest Extension

Howrse have just announced that the puzzle contest will now be running for an extra 4 days. So instead of finishing on the 24th August you now have until the 28th August to try and complete your puzzles.

You can also still find extra pieces for your puzzles in Horns of Plenty until 26th August.

So keep trying to win those Gypses. Happy puzzling.

Bonus Puzzle Update 2

We've had some requests from players asking for a picture of the completed bonus puzzle. Well, here it is. And as we've said, you now win a Gypse along with three 5th Elements when you complete this puzzle.

Whilst it's great that hundreds of players can now get Gypse's, it does mean that their rarity is hugely reduced and as a result, their value. It's rather a shame that there are fewer and fewer Divines and Specials that are actually rare and valuable in the game.

Maybe Howrse will release a Divine or Special horse that is actually limited to a small number. That would make them wonderfully appealing and sought after. But that's just my opinion.

Anyway, congratulations to everyone who has won a Gypse. Remember to top up your sand piles each day and your horses' skills will increase.

Have fun,

Patsy

Bonus Puzzle Update

Update: For completing the bonus puzzle you can now win a Gypse as well as the 3 5th elements.

Since Howrse revealed the bonus puzzle in the Summer Puzzle contest was aimed at pass buying players, there have been a lot of unhappy people. Even more so when they revealed you could win pieces for the puzzles in Horns of Plenty.

After this happened the 30 Balios were won within a few hours, leaving a lot of people upset that they never really had a chance.

Now Howrse have decided to change the reward for completing the bonus puzzle. You can now win a Gypse if you complete the puzzle as well as the 3 5th elements. There are no limits to the number that can be won so everyone completing the puzzles will win a Divine. Here's what Ow said in the event forum about the change:

Good morning.
We are distributing a Gypse to all the players that have finished the 5th puzzle later than the first 30 as a form of token.
We hope to ease out the frustration this operation has generated for those who did not finish in the first 30.
Cheers
Ow

So you have until 24th August to win your Gypse - happy puzzle piece finding!
