For everyone doing the testing, do we get to keep the divine we got on there?

This is a completely revamped version of the Excavations contests we had a few years ago. So much has changed that it’s almost a brand new contest.


Concept

The player is in an Ice Palace and has to break through ice doors with the help of a cute robot (Roby) to progress from room to room and finally get the divine horse Ràn.

How does it work?


You’re in a room with 4 ice-doors in front of you, and have to break one open with Roby's help to go through it to reach the next room, and so on. Once a door has been opened you have to click on the arrow to progress to the next room. (It is also possible to open several doors in the same room, for example if there is more than 1 interesting gift.

The doors are made of ice of a certain thickness and require a certain amount of clicks. Some doors are obstructed by rocks and cannot be opened.

Some doors contain:
Gifts

Wargs (wolf-like creatures) that serve as obstacles. You either wait or complete the proposed objective to go further

Tools to upgrade Roby

Roby:

Roby is a little foraging robot, your companion on this mission to get Ràn. Roby digs and forages on the ice doors to break them. Roby uses energy when digging through doors.

Once the energy gauge is empty, you either wait some time or pay for a refill for 1 pass. The battery refills point by point starting with one every 4h, and can be upgraded to reach one every 30 minutes.

Roby upgrades:

In some doors you can collect tools to upgrade Roby.

Once you have five tools you can upgrade Roby.
There are 3 types of upgrade, depending on the player’s strategy/preferred way of playing. You have to choose among:

Upgrade A: increases the battery’s capacity (convenient if you log in less often)

Upgrade B: accelerates the battery regeneration

Upgrade C: increases the power of each drill (clicks)


Roby can be upgraded 3 times. Each time you upgrade again, you can choose among the 3 offered upgrade types.


Dynamite:


If Roby doesn’t have any energy left, you can also buy dynamite to break the doors. 1 Dynamite counts as 5 clicks.

Ràn

She belongs to the Nordic divines.
Her gift is a foal from a breed/color the player doesn’t have.

If the player has them all already, they’ll get a random one (breed and color).

Wind Divine horses

On the page of a wind divine horse, in the block with the wind direction, you can now see how many points will be gained with one hour of riding. ( this is an additional bit of text to tell you what the point gain will be without having to actually click on the bar.)

Ow's Helios Ray

2 new backgrounds are being added to Ow's Helios Ray collection!

New Wandering horse will visit you.

The latest Wandering Horses (Environments) have been added to the Wandering Spirit.

I was not fond of this event in the past. As much as I like the Nordics, this is not a divine I need, I already have the pre-historic that does the same thing, though it is nice to see a second option for foundation collectors since we have not seen a re-release on the pre-historic. We'll see how the promo itself turns out, but at least the concept sounds cute and interesting. Heh, almost like an action segment in an RPG.

Happy to see the Wind icon updating so I can just scroll over it, and always glad to see more of the Wandering Horse's spirits being offered, even if I am ludicrously far behind on collecting them.

my favorite Wandering Horse series thus far is being added to the Wanderer's Spirit. That will definitely encourage me to try and collect them all.
