On the way home, I saw some horses for sale. Your knights have enough? Mark my words, a good horse will never let you down! Get them happily situated and trained up, and they'll be valuable assets to your knights! Set up is complete for where they'll live, but will basic training be enough to prepare them? Go help everyone come up with something more advanced!

[==Update requires Level 17+ to participate, and is live 08/13 @ 12pm - 08/17 @ 11:30am==]

Horse Training
prepared by SpiritWind - and awesome players!


Completion is not required to participate in the upcoming event
Both the tasks and the rewards of these quests will help prepare for the upcoming event
4 days to complete - but it doesn't matter if you do not participate or finish!



1. Horse Shortage
Have 4 horses
Tend 4 horses
Adventure to Search the Ancient Vault (collecting will complete this goal)
Rewards: 1300 coin, 5 xp, 1 enchanted block

2. Hoarse Horses
Give 60 carrots
Have 2 stables
Make 5 ropes (need to craft/collect new rope)
Rewards: 1300 coin, 5 xp, 1 enchanted beam

3. Cavalry Cantering
Craft 5 super glue
Craft 5 fancy beams
Craft 5 fancy blocks
Rewards: 1300 coin, 5 xp, 1 lumin essence

End of goals.


I'm pretty much maxed out on all building supplies and pretty much at the highest level for all my buildings. Can't make any of the requirements. Any suggestions?


Well, as I see it here are a couple of options:
1. Opt of out goal. Doesn't matter if you do it or not. It would be like the barons birthday event where we got a little something that turned out to be quite unrelated to the actual event.
2. Build something else. Check the Building Guide (in section 1 of the Hub). Lots of building need blocks, beams and s/glue.
3. Craft deco.
4. Make a cup of tea and relax (My personal favourite!) ;)

Even as live ones, the horses look spookily funny as a herd:p I just bought lots and lots of the coin horses and kept them out until maxed on rope and horse hair:)

Edit: Players without OCD and skipping fondness should probably not max up to 99. Just to be on the safe side.

I dont appreciate the "Craft X" of things, some of us are maxed in a lot of things and got no way to get rid of them,

Solutions:
Temporally increase items limit
Change craft to "give" on items that cant be used on upgrades/adventures/anything, IE, Rope

Did anyone figure out if we can complete the goal of making ropes if we're maxed on rope already?? It seems like the rewards aren't worth the efforts on this one. I saw that only because, like most people who's posting, I'm maxed on everything including the rewards.

Is anyone else having a problem getting fertilizer?? I have 20 cows, and 2 stables, and I'm having to speed up (at 1 gem each!!) each cow to increase the chance of getting more! It's taken forever, and I still have 20 horse mitts to go!! My conservatory has given ---->1<---- ONE!! Bag of fertilizer in the past 2-3 days...

I know that it's the 'policy' not to decrease a craft or ingredient when we need them, but this is crazy. No way I'd ever need that many cows for fertilizer (which, til now, has always stayed maxed out.)

is there anything else we can do?

Yep, stop speeding up your cows and save your gems. They are always constapated. Even though cows and sheep are located in stables, they are obviously like dogs and "don't s@it in their own bed" so the stables never drop poo. build conservitories if you can. Only having 1 is useless in that goal. Also go to the correct thread for tips. Sorry, I'd post a link, but computer technology is not my best point. Cheers.

Ps. As one of my lovely neighbours pointed out, it the outhouse cannot find poo, then the world is DOOMED. Just plug along and you will get there.

PPS Ollie, yep, still DOOMED. I'm going to have to call a plumber to the outhouse. It's really blocked up. There is no way I'm plumbing myself. I'm calling the dolphin man. Cheers.

This is not a timed goal so why the rush? Just keep playing as usual and you'll get them eventually. I have about 24 mitts to go. This one will be sitting in my goal book for some time.

I am a level 40, play regularly (without gems), and I also have about 20 mitts to go. I keep collecting from cows and chickens to do the royal trade to empty out inventory of milk and eggs while waiting on fertilizer. It takes awhile, but will eventually be done, and I will have a couple of expansion tickets in the process.

I like to think I'm working on expansion permits and am getting the mitts in the process to make it less frustrating. Good luck!

Also, I'm wondering if I should save my carrots if a horse related goal is coming up... or if it's a community event and carrots won't matter...

Vednir -- I doubt we will need Sir Daisy. So many of us are still working on mitts. This is just a guess though.

P.S.- In between waiting on fertilizer for mitts and fairie murmur for shopping for carriage items I totally understand your frustration! I only need 1 lace! 1 lace after 7 trips to that *%&# store!

Well, the title of this thing is "Horse Training" so I'm guessing the enchanted blocks & essences will be needed to either build a barn or horse stable for them to live in or maybe one of those round pens, for training on a long ROPE. - & maybe that building will be the "Pyre Tent" (or vineyard) for this upcoming event, where we can collect something from it to go towards winning the prizes? The random thing to drop from it (that we need gobs of, in order to upgrade it) might be bits and bridles. Maybe we can find some in The Ancient Vaults? Lol


I think community event too, and wonder what we'll be collecting if we're right about that, lol...:confused::eek:
Whatever it is that we have to collect to win the community prizes (horseshoes, maybe?) might also drop from harvesting carrots, apples and corn (oh god, lol), collecting from our stables & horses (of course of course lol)... Sugar might come into play SOMEWHERE, lol...and yeah, horse hair.

Hmm... What else, y'all? (Where are the horsie people to give us all lessons on horse training? LOL)

...And let's hear some guesses on the Community Event PRIZES!
All should know by now that all I want is a BEER WAGON (& 5 more Clydesdale to hitch to it with Sir Daisy)! LOL
But what else could it be?
-A horse trough?
-Dalmatian?
-Riding Gear Rack? (A place to throw our saddles lol)
-Horse blankets?
-A fenced pasture to put our horses in?
-A deco item that is a pile of hay? (w/o pumpkins on it this time) lol

Yeah, but the next step is craft 5 ea of super glue, fancy beams & fancy blocks. I don't see them raising the 99-cap on those ... I'm letting these expire.
These pre-goals are built for lower level players (seeing as how it's available to levels 17+)....but at least they give us an idea of some of the things to have stocked for next week.

Agreed, I'm in the same boat where I am capped on my fancy beams and fancy blocks so I can't complete the quest since I am required to make them instead of just supplying them.

Currently chain producing fountains, so fancy blocks are good, for beams & super glue, just do some deco production or a building. The rope problem was that there is nothing requiring it.

Queenzod
08-14-15, 01:48 PM
So, does anyone have a list of what requires fancy beams? I can make some benches to get rid of the fancy blocks, but I'm full up on beam stuff. This is so irritating...

If the reward was akin to the rewards back during the pre-goals last Fall before the H'ween event (masks needed to adventure), then yeah, I'd use up my blocks, beams and glue on decor or whatever. But, it'd be easier (for me, at least), just to use some lumin essence and replace it, lol. (The reward for that last step.)

But, what would REALLY get us ahead is, instead of rewarding us items we can craft (& already be maxed on), is to reward us some of whatever will be needed next week to upgrade the upcoming barn/arena/stable/whatever, which usually *isn't* anything we currently have or will be able to craft when the event hits.

Thank you Pika and this is not the first time this has happened. If the goal was changed to give 5 ropes than that would work. We should have a choice.


The rope is unlocked and I can now craft the items. Thank you so much!

So, does anyone have a list of what requires fancy beams? I can make some benches to get rid of the fancy blocks, but I'm full up on beam stuff. This is so irritating...

Flick through the Building Guide, that would be the best way as you know what you have and at what levels your buildings are. You can always sell something and buy and upgrade it again. I know it's a waste, but if choices are limited... well, it might be something to consider (albeit not the best solution!).

Doesn't it seem rather BS-y that you have to pull down an entire building, put it back up again, wasting tons of other resources to get it back up to level 5, just to get to where you were before, all in order to make 5 fancy beams? This is garbage and I'm angry. 

I built 2 more conservatories. First build uses fancy blocks & beams & super glue.

Yep! But it was only a suggestion and you can opt out of this goal and wait till next week. Sorry if I upset you QZ with my suggestion...

Lantern spire upgrades, conservatory, library upgrade, watchtower upgrade, cottage upgrade, farmhouse upgrade, market place upgrade, tavern upgrade all use fancy beams, blocks or glue.

QZ, you could make some useless faerie blocks and beams to get rid of your normal blocks and beams. There does not appear to be a limit on what you can make for these. I'm maxed on the rewards, however, completing does take you over the limit. I now have 100 enchanted blocks and beams. I'm completing this one just to have something constructive to do. Otherwise, I'd just be wandering around my domain doing nothing. I've also made a truck load of white benches for the OH Theatre. I might upgrade the pleb seats to a bit more comfortable position. Cheers

Well, the title of this thing is "Horse Training" so I'm guessing the enchanted blocks & essences will be needed to either build a barn or horse stable for them to live in or maybe one of those round pens, for training on a long ROPE. - & maybe that building will be the "Pyre Tent" (or vineyard) for this upcoming event, where we can collect something from it to go towards winning the prizes? The random thing to drop from it (that we need gobs of, in order to upgrade it) might be bits and bridles. Maybe we can find some in The Ancient Vaults? Lol


Whatever it is that we have to collect to win the community prizes (horseshoes, maybe?) might also drop from harvesting carrots, apples and corn (oh god, lol), collecting from our stables & horses (of course of course lol)... Sugar might come into play SOMEWHERE, lol...and yeah, horse hair.

Hmm... What else, y'all? (Where are the horsie people to give us all lessons on horse training? LOL)

2 stables are the limit. Do you already have 2? If not, at a certain level you'll be allowed to buy another just don't recall the exact level.. .maybe check the buildings thread in the Hub for more info.

I agree that it sounds like we're building an arena, and we're training the horses as 'show horses'...What kind of show, I wonder? Circus-like, or some other type of show?:confused: It sounds community style to me, so what to collect? Treats for the horses? The prizes will be mostly pure deco, of course, statues, fences. The best prize would be a Rouncey/Destrier type of horse, but I don't think so...:rolleyes:

Hmmmm , nah, I think rather than circus horse tricks the world event will relate to the jousting arena. Not exactly battles to be fought but tilts to be run. A visit to the arena will be the bottle neck as it will drop the dreaded scarcest random drop that is required to enter the lists ( ie adventure). Apple collections I reckon with wheat for the horses.

Yeah, I dunno...but *either* kind of training would be as or MORE intensive as training horses for war so I don't quite get it, lol... What's easier about training show horses??

Oh god, I hope we don't have to rely on ONE 12-hr timer building to get the stuff we need for the upgrades on whatever *other* arena/event building we gotta get to level upteen-whatever, lol!

That's my guess, too, for collecting for the prizes...And maybe bits and bridles for upgrading the building?

Am I the only player with constipated animals?? Any other time they r dropping their fertiliser all over the place and now I am practically glued to my phone on a daily basis and I am barely collecting enough to make 1 mitt a day!! This is becoming very very tedious and I would use gems but for the fact you get the trade tickets for making each mitt and its alot off tickets to miss out on if we are feeling forced into using gems!! Surely you must know the drop has decreased and there must be something that can be done?? Can you not add fertiliser as a gift for a limited time or something?? I really don't want to use gems but this is taking things too far!! I swear I am on this phone that much it's going to go BANG!! Plz help!!

P.S I have now completed all goals but can't get the dang horse cause ave not finished mitts!!!!..........HOW can I FINISH when my drop rate is like 1/10??? Totally FED UP!!

Well, as I see it here are a couple of options:
1. Opt of out goal. Doesn't matter if you do it or not. It would be like the barons birthday event where we got a little something that turned out to be quite unrelated to the actual event.
2. Build something else. Check the Building Guide (in section 1 of the Hub). Lots of building need blocks, beams and s/glue.
3. Craft deco.
4. Make a cup of tea and relax (My personal favourite!) ;)

Great guesses! I too am thinking we might need to build some sort of horse stable then collect ridiculously rare parts to upgrade it. Hopefully it will drop useful items after the event is over.

I definitely would expect prizes to include fencing to corral our horses and even a bridle path - S8 is very fond of wall and path decorations! And yes, piles of hay for deco. Maybe another type of horse for the grand prize?

I don't expect carrots to figure prominently in this because they take too long to grow. S8 is going to want us checking in to our games constantly lol. I sure hope no corn is involved even though it grows fast. Maybe we would get special items from chopping trees - to clear land for the horse ranch? Horse ranches take up lots of space, after all.

I like the idea of horseshoes - I already have some in inventory from the St Patrick's Day event in 2014. They might be one of the items we need for upgrades, and perhaps we can craft them in the magic forge as well as collect them.
