I’m confused. Which comes first? The Festivities or the Mazes?

The Mazes will be released this Thursday. The Great Challenge/Festivities are still being tested and should be released around the last week of January/first week of February

great challenge? I heard that we can get the two divines dark chocolate and white chocolate pastry horses. is this true? If so how will we get them?

Horses needed to get through the shortcuts-
Guard: Answer the question correctly
Thief: Riding Horse
Glass Ceiling: Pegasus
Mirror on the wall: Unicorn/Winged unicorn
Security Laser: Pony/Foal
Box: Draft Horse
Ghost: Christmas Ghost Divine, Ghost Horse (Bewitched Pumpkin), Ghost Companion
Mummy: Egyptian Divine, Mummy Horse (Book of Monsters)

Best way to travel through the mazes to get all fragments and diamond prizes-
Maze 1

Maze 2

Maze3

Maze 4

Any coat from the Bewitched pumpkin or Book of monsters will work.

Altair tack piece

For the great challenge, along with it the titan's challenge will be available. In the Titans challenge, you can get pastry horses! They are definitely base on luck though

Yep, you can average a Pastry set for around 2k it seems if you get max fragments bonus. I got 2x extra fragments and took me about 4k to get a set of pastries. Definitely worth getting max fragment bonus & the premium key for 600passes if you like your pastries

Equestrian Diplomas/Staff & some Tack. Can't work out what piece of tack it is though, if anybody knows please say!

New Chimera!

Squirrel

New Love Divines! Obviously coming in February

Finnish Love Divine - Minä Rakastan Sinua

The Squirrel is adorable!. When are these guys coming out?

love the turtle; favorite chimera I've seen yet!

The equestrian parade


Prepare your horses for the upcoming parade! Read more below and click here to start decorating your horse models.


� How to play

Decorate horse models in order to win rewards and unlock new horses to decorate!


For a completely decorated Parade horse, you can win:

a fixed gift (fragments or a Black Market item)

a gift that you can choose out of 3 offered

There will be 12 models in total. For completing the last one, you will be granted with the new companion: Wild Boar!

Hint: You can also choose the option to complete your current model automatically by paying with passes.

How to get decorations?

On first login (3 per day)
Thanks to loyalty, you will receive 6 additional decorations if you connect 5 days in a row!
By taking your horse on a ride (3 per day)
By registering your horses for competitions (3 per day)
By buying them with Equus in Flash sales.
By buying them with passes

What about editing features?

The editing tools are the same as in the previous edition: you can choose the color and size of your decorations as well as you can rotate them and use the symmetry tool. Only the interface has changed.

New: There will be a single counter per category of decorations so you can choose the item you want from the category. As a result of that:

The exchange of decorations has been removed
Daily earnings will credit these counters

Hint: Once you submit 100 decorations on horse models, you will unlock the fragment multiplier (so you can gain Brave little tailor faster) and the possibility to propose a model to the community vote.

Great Challenge & the Lottery

GREAT CHALLENGE


Objectives are subject to change but this is what we had on test server.


Prizes you can obtain in the great challenge. The top bunch are FREE to obtain. The second become unlock when you buy the premium key (was 600p on test server).









Dark Chocolate (Male) - Obtainable for Free


White Chocolate (Female) - Obtainable with premium key


Macaron - Obtained when you have at least ONE pastry from every set, male or female. He lets your pastry mares produce an extra 0.5 sugar pearls a day!

HINT: You should buy the premium key for 600 passes if possible. You will get TWO divines for this, one you will obtain for free, the other you get as you've paid the passes. You'll also get a number of additional nice items. Also a very, very nice BEE companion!
You get the Pastry White Chocolate who offers the following breeds: Argentinian Criollo, Peruvian Paso, and Mangalarga Marchador

DIVINE FRAGMENTS
You can get 2, 3 and 4x (I think they're the only amounts) throughout the great challenge. Pastry horses are in the Titan's Challenge. You can pick up a pair for about 2.5k with 4x fragments (you get around 100/180ish fragments) I believe. You choose the pastry divine of YOUR choice, so it's awesome if you're missing a few or you have a pair you particularly like

LOTTERY
Definitely no longer one of my favourites (though I've missed the last 2/3 times they've been here). The prizes pools change every single time for a draw, with a pastry divine as one of the main prizes.
Other prizes offered during the test phase were Hermes Winged Staff, Multicorn Coat, Animated Avatar Coat, all of the Wanderer's Spirits, 5th elements (as singular coats, so you get an Earth/Wind/Water Coat), all the pets. Of course, clovers for every draw too.

Example of some of the draws:

Draw 1



Draw 12


CLOVER SHOP


Something that I think is new, which I REALLY dislike is you either keep your prizes or you trade them for tickets. You pay 1,000e to trade your prizes for tickets.
Here is an example of that happening:

You MUST decide what to do with your prizes to partake in the next draw. If you miss the slot, you miss a draw.
