Piñatas Darumas

Same principle as the other editions of the Piñatas!

This time, the Darumas replace the Piñatas we use to have.

Darumas are little Japanese statues that can be painted for good fortune.

Instead of hitting piñatas, players are going to paint Darumas!

Each click on a Daruma will fill a gauge. Once completed the Daruma is fully painted and the player receives a gift!

How do we play?

Click on the Daruma in order to fill the gauge. Each Daruma has a growing number of points required as you progress in the contest.

Clicks reload over time and stack up in the gauge. Each slot corresponds to a click. The points value of a click is also given.

You can buy Brushstrokes with passes if your click gauge takes too much time. (Replaces Mace Blows)

Note: The clicks in the gauge are prioritized over the brushstrokes.
You can ask for help from your friends by using equus. (5 points per click from a friend). Don't forget to help them in return!


Objectives


Each Daruma will have 2 objectives to complete. Once completed, objectives will give you bonuses:
They can increase the number of clicks on the gauge.
They can make a single click more powerful.
They can increase the frequency of clicks.
They can allow more of your friends to help.
They can give points to the current Daruma.

Another surprise

I'm not really impressed by its design. It's basically a horse with some faint whiskers and a koban with the Kanji for fortune. A bit more cat-like as it is named after a cat in the end.

Level 14--GF
Level 15 Catrina Brooch
Level 16 Falabella
Level 17 Harmony pack
Level 18 Hera pack
Level 19 Hermes staff

aka Daruma
Linked due to size

Definitely going for the brooch and hermes staff so I might as well go all the way for the divine too. Don't think the prize is amazing but I want to keep my Japanese trophy.

I am thinkng the wandering horses but again nothing official yet

It was confirmed to be the Wandering Horses return on their monthly Instagram event spoilers

Stagecoach!

You now own a stagecoach that you have to equip with horses so that you can go on a trip and get a gifts!

You can’t use your own horses, only the ones you will win during the event: the Travel Horses. You will recognize them because they are wearing special tack for the stagecoach.

This is similar to the previous reindeer event.

How it works
There are several levels of destinations that you unlock as you progress during the contest. The value of the gifts increases with the levels.

You can improve your stagecoach by accumulating kilometers and destinations. When you improve your stagecoach, you receive a new horse for your crew and you unlock new destinations.


Travel Horses

As mentioned earlier, you will recognize them thanks to their special tack for the stagecoach.

There are 5 Travel horses in total. You will win them by starting and finishing the tutorial and by unlocking the levels of your stagecoach.

Each horse has a specific perk that has an influence on night vitality regeneration:


Montana : when he wakes up, gives +30 Vitality to Arizona

Arizona : when he wakes up, gives +30 Vitality to Montana

Nevada : when he wakes up, gives +30 Vitality to the horse just before him

Colorado : when he wakes up, gives +20 Vitality to the horses just before and just behind him

Texas : when he wakes up, gives +20 Vitality to all horses placed in front of him

At the end of the event, you can keep the travel horses you won! They will lose the special tack but win a special competition bonus (+6 in each skill)


How to travel

You only travel during the day. Once your horses have no more energy, you have to camp in the desert!

During the day, you can:

Travel

Manage the caring of your horses, as they are in limited number, to raise their energy

During the night, you can:

Move your horses in the carriage

Replace a horse with another


To get to next day, you will have to wait or use the Sun Item.

You can win sun items :

At first connection of the day (2x per day)
After rides (2x per day)
After winning a competition (1 per day)
By buying them with passes


Jackpots

You can win Cookie by traveling to him.

You can win Koekje and her fragments in the Golden Fleece.

Complete the community objective to get more Koekje fragments in each Golden Fleece!

Cookie and Koekje belong to the Pastry divines. They can have foals of the following breeds:

Paint Horse
Appaloosa
Tennessee Walker

There will be a new tutorial. Some of this may be the same but this is the basic idea: When you pick your first horse it takes you to that version of Gaia, Emma's horse. You learn how to care for her. Emma shows you what specialty the horse will do best at and what competition to enter. Then the horse gives birth and you get two foals (one male, one female) that are the ones you first picked out. After that Emma shows you the Auctions. She picked out 4 horses for you to choose from. They are all 500 equus and the auction is staged for you to win it. Then Emma gives the horse BMI and shows you the new beginner objectives.nstead of daily objectives, you get 3 apprentice objectives a day, which are easier. Not sure exactly when you stop getting them--at 100 completed perhaps? From what I understand, every 25 objectives you complete you can choose to get access to a feature or you could get passes. You might be able even if your seniority is 20 days you can still open an EC if you haven't done 25 objectives yet or why else would passes be an option? The prizes for the objectives are 500 equus, 3 AP, and 10 carrots. Objectives today were "Use 1 Aging Point", "Register a horse in an equestrian center", and "Play for 3 hours with a foal at once". These will be much better for newer accounts because most of them don't have the resources to cover female donkeys or to win rosettes.

In my eyes it encourages cheating as well. You create an account, grab the passes, maybe wait till you got your 30 days, and then move the passes on to your account. 680 passes aren't that few for basically free. And if you're doing it correct and not creating loads of accounts, the system won't flag them.

And a GP ticket? We older players needed to pay loads of passes/hops for that and newbs get it for free? Slightly unfair towards us. Even if the use is rather slim for them it's still for free.

Can't they just bring back the old tutorial and the old objectives? I meant those 100 you gotl as sort of more in-depth tutorial. Why were they removed in the first place anyways..

I did not create a new account on prepod to test this so will be posting the remarks from the other testers. I don't think from what is being posted that any new account is blessed with overflowing passes.

I think there is a misunderstanding here. You dont get 680 passes instead of the ec, you can pay passes so you have earlier access. The price gets lower if you reach a special feature by fulfilling the aims.

It's saying "achieve your objectives to unlock special features" and beneath it "EC or 80 passes", "direct sales or 140 passes" etc.

Sounds pretty much like your getting the things unlocked or passes. And that can lead to people creating accounts, playing through those 30 days to unlock the features regularly and grabbing the passes instead. Then move the passes to their main account.

Unless of course they want to change the whole seniority system so that you can unlock them only via that tutorial or the business key. So if you chose 80 passes instead of the EC you would need to buy the key when you want an ec.

complete the 25 objectives to gain access to the EC. When you click the pass button you get an error that says you don't have enough passes to purchase the item. When I completed my 25 objective milestone, I clicked to unlock the EC, gained access to it and did not get any passes along with that access. I was confused about image wording at first, so I'll post some feedback about it in the test topic because I can see players expecting to get passes as a reward

, we do get a reward to create an affix upon completing Objective 22, and the pass price to unlock the next 3 milestones decreased to 90, 150 and 200 passes respectively after I unlocked my EC. I won't be able to continue with objectives for a few days, because my next 3 are to reach 3 connection days, reach 7 connection days, and reach 10 connection days. If the objectives in the same order for everyone you can only do 26 of them on your very first day of playing before getting stuck at that point
