The Great Challenge and Tomatoes battle


Let’s welcome back our Great Challenge and Festivities event! As usual, this event is held in two phases as mentioned below.

� The Challenge phase (until 07/08/2021, 12:59 CEST):
Collect horseshoes by completing objectives to win rewards!

� The Festivities (from 07/08/2021, 13:00 CEST, and until 12/08/2021, 13:00 CEST):
Participate in the Tomatoes battle to earn points and gifts!


� The Great Challenge phase


The general concept has not changed since the previous time, although some things in the Great Challenge have been improved. You will still have the choice between 9 different objectives that you will be able to complete over and over during the day.

Each objective gives a certain number of horseshoes. The more horseshoes you get, the more bonuses and gifts you unlock, but keep in mind that there is a limit of horseshoes that you can collect each day.

What is new in this edition is that you can buy the new Premium Key to unlock the access to special gifts and more horseshoes per day.


During the Great Challenge phase, contribute to the community goal in order to get more UFOs during the battle phase.



� NEW - Premium Key


There are two different strategies that you can choose during this Great Challenge:

Free strategy, without the Premium Key:
Just like in all the previous editions, complete different objectives to win 100 horseshoes per day and unlock gifts.

Paid strategy, with the Premium Key unlocked with passes (600 passes):
If you decide to buy the Premium Key, you will be able to win up to 120 horseshoes per day and win more rewards (free gifts + premium gifts).



� The Tomatoes battle


The festivities will take place around the Tomatoes Battle! Each battle day will be cut into 3 sessions.

The number of encountered UFOs will be determined by the number of gifts collected during the Great Challenge.

You will be able to catch 4 UFOs with a gift three times a day. When you catch your UFO, you can choose to:

return the gift and earn points for the ranking

keep the gift and lose points

spend Equus to get a new UFO and potentially a better gift

These points will allow you to move up the leaderboard and win the cumulative prizes:

� 1 - 5 : Caradoc

� 6 - 10 : Male and Female Donkey Unicorn

� 11 - 15 : Hermes' Winged Staff

Aside from that, when you choose to keep the gift or to send it back, you can use bonus items that can be obtained thanks to:

� winning competitions with your horse

� being helped by friends

� your participation in the Great Challenge



� The contest page

On the new contest page, you will be able to track:

� The history of the items that you have won;

� Your position in the ranking in real time (with your current number of points);

� A podium where you can see the jackpots that you can win;

� The gift you can expect to win if you keep their position at the end of the contest.




� Jackpots

Complete the horseshoes gauge to get the all-new unicorn donkeys!
Thanks to that, you can win:

Male donkey unicorn (without the Premium Key)

Male + Female donkey unicorn (with the Premium Key)


Caradoc, a new divine horse from the series of Grail horses!




Complete its mission to win: 1 x Horn of Plenty.

During the event, you can also find fragments of this divine horse in the Titan's Challenges. Players from the TOP 5 of the battle ranking will win this divine too.

Increase your chances and get more divine fragments by reaching certain levels of horseshoes in the Great Challenge:

110 horseshoes to get x1.5 fragments' multiplier.

380 horseshoes to get x2 fragments' multiplier.

710 horseshoes to get x3 fragments' multiplier.

So the ONLY way to get the circled prizes, is to buy the premium key? They're not available at all without it?
@ Eowyn

That is correct. It is a choice that if you decide to make it should be done at the beginning of the promo.

So it went straight from use strategy and maybe passes to win to oh you can do everything the paid players do but you can't get good rewards for doing the same thing unless you pay 600p. Gotta say, that's not quite what I meant when I said promos should require passes to complete. And there's a competition. Really wishing I hadn't tried for Tyr but whatever. At least this is cheaper than Genshin battle pass.

Honestly, I really like this new addition. I'vealwaysfound the Great Challenge to be disappointing. The prizes weren't worth the effort. So, I'm definitely a fan.

@ Alex Charming

Actually you hit the nail on the head.

Click to display
If this was played like it was before the number of prizes we would get were very few. This was one of the most miserly promos the way it was.

Great Challenge Prizes

Apollo's Lyre
Helios' Ray
Hera's Pack
Iris' Coat
Golden Fleece
Zeus' Lightning Bolt
Hen Companion
Sheep Companion
5,000 Equus
40 x Caradoc fragment
60 x Caradoc fragment
80 x Caradoc fragment
100 x Caradoc fragment
140 x Caradoc fragment
1.5 times more Caradoc fragment
2 times more Caradoc fragments
3 times more Caradoc fragments
10 x Bonus (UFO Fight)
15 x Bonus (UFO Fight)
20 x Bonus (UFO Fight)
Male Donkey Unicorn

The above is what we would win the way it was before. This list includes pretty much the most wanted items ( fragment, bonus points, a uni donkey and even the GF)

I realize Howrse is asking for 600 passes ( a bit high) but the following prizes would NEVER have also been included the way it was before.

Premium Prizes

Aphrodite's Tears
Fertility Wand
Golden Apple
Hestia's Gift
Hypnos' Blanket
Kairos Dial
Pandora's Box
Camel Companion
Goat Companion
Llama Companion
7,000 Equus
10,000 Equus
20,000 Equus
5 x Aging Points
10 x Aging Point
15 x Aging Points
10 x Pass Seeds
15 x Pass Seeds
50 x Mash
4 times more Caradoc fragments
Female Donkey Unicorn

The first 4 items in this list are equal to the 600 passes you would pay ( the Hestia alone is worth at least 300 passes and when have we ever had 4 times more fragment feature..[this alone will save you at least 600 passes]). Also if you get the male uni donkey you need the female. We all know how much they will go for in the sales! Also the pass seeds alone when planted will give you 100 passes.

Are the premium gifts granted to your account immediately following the purchase of the premium key? Or is it all just chance?
@Eowyn

Click to display


As you can see there are two rows on the page. The top row which shows the 5,000e, the bonus button and 40 fragments are what you get playing normally without paying the 600 p. The bottom row is unlocked and shows when you pay the 600p.( there are 7 pages that look like this with prizes on the top and prizes on the bottom.

All the bottom prizes are the premium prizes.

Once the passes are paid and you earn the horseshoes you get prizes as you go along. So you earn both top and bottom as you progress through the promo each day. This is what we used to do before. The set up is just a bit different this time.

Meaning, do you pay for the key just to get the chance of winning those prizes, or do you get them at the end of the promo? Beginning? etc.
By Retired breeder, July 28, 2021 16:07:45
That makes sense, thank you so much! default smiley ^)


Looking at the prizes for both sides I'd say its pretty equal. you get 7 BMI with the key without the key you get those 6 BMI Either way you get BMI prizes I like the BMI for the no key I could always use a golden fleece

I'm more concerned by how *much* this looks like a battle pass and I would very much so NOT like to have something like this on the game. Many games have a "get free stuff, but you have to pay a ton for even more good stuff." Genshin's is $10 I think, Call Me Emperor's is $30, and I can't really - smartly - afford either of those.

If not for the fact that you can easily get 900 passes a month for free, VIP on this game would be $15/month, easily. Battle passes are a good business structure but it really does lock down on free-to-play players. Say VIP is 1000 passes and this "battle key" shall we call it is 600 passes. Let's put this on a per-promo basis. Suddenly f2p VIP account holders have to pick between even better prizes or the perks that you really don't want to live without after you have them, because without a team / good method of getting an extra 700 passes per month on top of the objectives, they can't get both.

Alright, but that just covers the free-to-play VIP users. Those are a very small portion of the community, so let's look at people like me next - a pay-to-play person who has no problem spending for passes. I don't buy super often, but when I do I tend to only spend around $15. This usually goes to either VIP or a Divine. An extra $15 per month or two (which will give me an extra 400 passes on top of the battle key) shouldn't hurt me that bad, right? ... except I'm currently unemployed, trying to pay off student loans, and can't afford more than I already - sporadically - pay. So I'd have to reallocate, which shouldn't be bad, as long as I don't lose my VIP. So *shrug* I guess I go without and miss the prizes. (Note: I actually do have extra ways of getting passes through sales and such so this is overblowing it a bit, but I know there's others out there like me that don't.)

OK, so what about non-VIP users? They get 2/3 of their free passes taken away per month for BMI's they may not use, just to get some they will/need.

Which tbh wouldn't be so bad if we could trade Hestia's Gifts and such.

Tl;dr I don't actually mind paying the 600 passes; the genuine issue I have with it is the possibility of a battle pass-esque system being introduced in this game.

What does Hestias Gift do? Also, so if we don’t buy the key, we don’t get a female Uni donkey? I didn’t even know they existed! Are they knew? Or just super rare?


Click to display
The Hestia gift allows you to get a uni foal 100 percent. And the key allows you to get the female donkey or you can purchase one in sales but in sales they will probably be double the cost of the key.
Donkey unicorns are a new sub species to the donkey this is their premier.

One more question. Is it a definite that you can finish the promo if you get the premium key? Or like the last one, do you have to be on as soon as your meter is full to get all the hits?
By Retired breeder, August 4, 2021 17:39:44

Also, I’m confused. Was the piñatas the summer festival? Or is it the tomato one that’s coming up?


This next promo is a guarantee win as long as you fill all the horseshoes every day. To get horseshoes you have different objectives you have to complete like you get one horseshoe for grooming a horse and I think 20 for winning a specific competition I believe the max horseshoes you can get a day is 120 horseshoes so once you hit the max come back tomorrow and do it all over again.

Ok, Thanks! Also, @Cyberhorse, how do I do that? Does it work on mobile because that’s what I use.


When you go to post you should see an icon that looks like an eye. What this does is give you this:- [*spoiler]text here[*/spoiler]. The star in the brackets is not there so all you need to do is put your text between them.

You can also manual put the two brackets with the word spoiler in. Just make sure there is the forward slash in the second bracket.
