Greyfell(s) to Palomino Sleipnir update

As you may know, Howrse recently made a couple of changes to the Greyfells. One was that you now get 2 diamonds instead of 1 diamond every time you bring your Greyfell back to life. The other change was that you can now give Greyfells' Philosophers' Stones to make them immortal.

So the question came up in the forums (from me actually!) asking if all 12 Greyfells needed to be mortal (have no Philosophers' Stone) in order to produce a Palomino Sleipnir on the 1st of the month. I was asking because I didn't want to put a Stone on one of my Greyfells and then find out that they must all be mortal (have no Stone) on in order to get the Sleipnir.

I was contacted by Jacinta92 who very kindly, sent a ticket to Contact about this. Howrse came back saying that it did not matter -  you can give some of your Greyfell's a Stone and you will still be able to get your Palomino Sleipnir on the 1st of the month.

So for those of you who are lucky enough to have all twelve Greyfells', you can relax and look forward to getting that wonderful, new eight-legged Divine.

Good luck!

Send your penguins & polar bears to the North Pole

Finally from today, Christmas Day you can now send your penguins and polar bears off to the North Pole. And they can bring back a variety of wonderful gifts for you.

Now the number of polar bears and penguins you have will determine what they can bring you. You can see all the details from the Howrse home page. Items include aging points, 5th Element coats, Black Orchids as well as new items like the Treasure Chest and Achilles Heel.

We will tell you more about these items very soon. In the meantime, just be careful about how many penguins and polar bears you send on each expedition. You have until 31st December at 23:59 to send them on their journeys. After that they will not be able to go to the North Pole.

The time each expedition takes depends on the value of the items being collected. So 20 turnips take just a day but the Treasure Chest takes 8 days - so plan carefully!

We will be back soon with more information and help but as it's Christmas Day there are other things to do!

Merry Christmas,

Patsy

Baby Greyfell

Yes they are here. Greyfells' which have arrived during the Christmas Card competition can breed only once and now the offspring are beginning to appear in the game.

Let us know what you think of them. Personally, we think they are maybe not the cutest foals in the game. I actually think there is a passing resemblance to a donkey. Which makes us think - how wonderful it would be to have Divine Donkeys on Howrse.

Maybe one day. In the meantime - enjoy the new Greyfell foals.

Instant Greyfell

We don't normally post about ourselves on Ultimate Howrse, because it's all about you and the game - not us! However, I thought you would be interested to know that I managed, by pure chance, to buy a Greyfell in the Direct Flash Sales. Have a look at the screen grab.

It was a complete fluke. I just popped on to the Flash Sales as I was looking at possibly getting a diamond card. I clicked the 'update' button and it said a Greyfell was up for sale in 2 seconds. I clicked 'update' again and there it was - 'Greyfell'. I just hit the 'Buy Now' button and 'bingo'!

I can't actually believe it. OK, so it cost me 1.59 million equus but seeing as they've been selling in the Flash Sales Auctions for 6 million equus - it's not a bad price! I have to laugh because I actually bought him by accident really. So I now own two Greyfells. Now the first one I got after getting a diamond card just for logging in. It's true, so don't give up hope. You CAN get diamond cards when you log in to the game. And my first Greyfell is a mare and so is now expecting a baby Greyfell. Exciting times.

So good luck with your Christmas Card competitions everyone. I really do hope you win lots of lovely things. And don't forget - you'll be able to send your polar bears and penguins to the North Pole from Christmas Day until New Years' Eve and get even more goodies.

Have fun,

Patsy

Greyfell's in the Direct Flash Sales

With the Christmas Card competition in full swing, prices are very high for those players that can afford to bid on Greyfells in the Flash Sales Auctions. And we are talking multiple millions of equus. Now the Direct sales, also have Greyfells in them but they come up very rarely, so I was really pleased to be able to see one today.

Sadly, I had recently bought a silver card so couldn't try and buy it but it was interesting to see what price it was selling for. And the answer is 1.59 million equus. Still a lot of money, but far less than prices in the auctions. In fact, I've seen Diamond cards selling for up to 2 million equus in the actions so I suppose this price for  a Greyfell is almost a bargain! Almost.

Well, whatever your budget, we hope you're enjoying the competition. Let us know if you manage to win a Greyfell or even all 12 of them.

Good luck,

Patsy

Diamonds in the Store

Well Howrse kept this one quiet. You can now but Diamonds in the Store. They cost 25,0000 equus each. Now Howrse do limit you to having just 2 Diamonds in your inventory. So if you have have more than 2, you cannot buy any more until you've used them.

However, this could be a valuable feature for those players who use Diamonds for trades and for buying items. Remember, once you have 10 diamonds, you can trade them for a Pass.

Very handy if you're taking part in the Christmas Cards competition!

Happy shopping.
