Trophies

Howrse has recently introduced the Trophies for those players who have completed all the 100 Objectives.

The idea is that if you collect a certain set of horses, or coats or UFOs you earn a Trophy which is displayed on your page. There is a new ranking to be part of and the top player currently has 180 trophies.

The first set of trophies concern having all the available coat colours for each breed on Howrse. So if you own all the different coat colours of Arabs, you earn a trophy.

There are also trophies for owning Divine and Wild Horses, Golden Apples, Unicorns, Companions (remember those!) and even having a large amount of manure!

You can see your Trophy collections by going to Profile -> My trophies.

So good luck with your collections and let us know how you're getting on.

Howrse Secret Page Number 3

The link to Secret Page number three on Howrse can be found at the top of the Game Play forum page.

This is achievement/objective number 73. You have to visit the page above and click on the link. 

However, you can only ever visit it once - when you are completing the objective. If you visit it before you have unlocked this particular objective, or try to visit it again afterwards the link won't be there!

Objective 90 - Horn of Plenty

Objective 90 is an interesting one and we're keen to know how it works for you too. This objective simply involves opening a Horn of Plenty (HoP) and finding another HoP inside. I managed this with the first HoP I opened (click to enlarge the picture), so I'm wondering if it will be the same for everyone. Or was I just hugely lucky?

Let us know your experience. We tend to think that Howrse 'fixes' it so that the first HoP you open after completing/validating Objectve 89, will give you another HoP. In all the time I've played the game, I have only twice found a HoP inside a Horn of Plenty, so the chances are very small. If Howrse didn't artificially increase our chances, it could take years to complete Objective 90!

So let us know how you get on. Good luck.

Where is the Notebook? Objective 32

The latest round of Objectives have thrown up quite a few questions which players have had a fair a bit of trouble with. The Secret Page question, which we have already written about here on Ultimate Howrse, has prompted a great deal of interest.

But we've noticed that Objective number 32 'Where is the Notebook' seems a current favourite.

So where is it? Well, as you'll see from the screen shot above (click to enlarge), it can be found on your Mail page and is the fourth tab along, above your list of emails.

The Notebook is really useful as you can keep details of trades you've done, contacts you've made or to keep track of horses you may be following in the auctions.

So now you know where it is, you can happily say "Objective 32 completed!"

Howrse Secret Page Number 1 Objective 45

Looking for the link to Secret Page number one on Howrse?

The objectives have recently been updated and the secret page URLs changed - to keep them more secret!

The link to secret page no.1 can now be found by going to the creation space page - you'll find the link just above the timeline.

You need to click on it to complete achievement/objective number 45.

However, you can only ever visit it once - when you are completing the achievement. If you visit it before you have unlocked this particular achievement, or try to visit it again afterwards the link won't be there!

Ooooh spooky.

The new Howrse Objectives/Achievements 2010

Well the 'new' Achievements (now called Objectives) are with us and players have given good and bad feedback regarding them. Personally, we believe that they are a good idea and something new and fresh for every player to enjoy.

For those of you that remember that old Achievements, these new ones are, generally, much easier to do. Obviously the next batch will surely be more demanding, but that can only be a good thing. It will be interesting to see how many of the later Objectives will require the purchase of passes. We've noticed quite an increase in pass-related events, challenges and offers recently. Things such as the chance to win Sleipnirs, Croesus' and Falabellas in HoP's seem to generate a huge demand for passes. We'd really like to see the next set of Objectives focus on the games itself, rather than the need to buy passes to make those goals. We shall see.

As for the first lot of Objectives, we've seen a large number of enquires in the Game Play forum about certain questions. Especially No.19 - the one about putting a given number of your horses to bed. This one is, actually quite straightforward: the number of horses you have to put to bed is double the number of horses you own. So if you own 33 horses, you have to put horse(s) to bed 66 times. If you own more than 50 horses though, the maximum number you have to put to bed is 100 - which was a big relief to LucyLou who has over 5000!

The other thing about the this Objective is that you can put many horses to bed or just one horse. I simply aged my horse until my Objective validated. And one final thing on No.19 - you will probably have to put your horse(s) to bed a few more times than it says. Mine was about three extra times. No idea why - but don't give up and you'll be fine.

Good luck!
