Notes:
-Kigurumi gave me a TC 22 ageings after I got him. However, it's no guarantee that he'd do the same for you. I only added this to show that his drop rate may have extreme values (times where he drops an item really quickly and times when he takes really long to drop an item/outlying values that appear far away from the line of best fit).

-How I got the above values
First I found out how many full cycles you will HAVE to do and multiplied that by the cost for a full cycle.
(1 full cycle = 21 chests =21×90 passes =1890 passes per full cycle.)

Then to find the minimum amount of chests needed to fill the rest of the meter, I assumed that you would immediately find the max amount of fragments in each chest that you buy in descending order, taking into account that each fragment prize will be removed after you find it. I also assumed that you would not find any non-fragment prizes. Of course, I also took into account the fragment multipliers when I made these calculations. This then gave me the min pass value that was needed to fill the meter.

Then to find the max number of chests needed, I assumed that you would find all the non-fragment prizes first (a total of 12 non-fragment prizes are in the chest, which means that I added 12×90 passes =1080 passes to the price). Then, for the fragments, I added the fragment prizes from lowest to highest until there was enough fragments to fill the meter, taking into account that each prize gets removed after you find it. Every prize that I added represents 1 chest (90 passes). Of course, I also took into account the fragment multiplier when doing this. This gave me the max price value.

The great challenge

-You can complete the same task several times over until you get to 100 horseshoes. You don't need to dehorn your precious unis or dewing your peggys.

- You will not get the extra horseshoes if you collect more than 100 horseshoes in one day (eg by dewinging a peggy ×2 and dehorn a uni you should get (2×35 horseshoes + 50 horseshoes = 120 horseshoes, but you only get 100 horseshoes). You get capped at 100 horseshoes per day so you lose the extra horseshoes if you collect more than 100 horseshoes.

-Completing the extra objective will get you lottery tickets. This is very helpful for the first draw of the lottery itself, so do as many of the extra objectives as you can. However, these objectives are chosen randomly so you may be asked to dehorn a uni etc, which is probably something that you don't want to do. For these, you could buy a horse from the sales and dehorn/dewing/etc that horse instead of your own horses. Also remember that nobody is forcing you to complete the objective, so if you don't want to do it then just don't do it. I mean, these are brutal objectives to start with..

-You can gain fragment multipliers by completing your objectives/filling the horseshoe meter. The multipliers are prizes, where the highest achievable multiplier is 4× more fragments. Also, the community objectives just unlock more lottery draws per day so if you don't do your great challenge objectives then don't expect to get a fragment multiplier.

How to get tickets:

-The first thing that you want to do here is make sure that you've got at least 5 friends who are active players. Why? Because you are allowed to send 5 requests for lottery tickets to your friends so your friends can give you extra tickets. Each request costs 200eq. In a similar fashion, your friends can request lottery tickets and you can send them tickets. You can do this every lottery draw.

-You can buy lottery tickets, but every time you buy a ticket, price of the ticket will increase starting from 200eq. The best thing to here would be to buy tickets in low amounts to avoid taking a massive hit to your equus reserve. Also, the price of the tickets reset after every draw, so you can buy another ticket for 200eq again after each draw. Hence why I would recommend buying the tickets in small amounts each draw to avoid going broke.

-You can win tickets from the lottery draws too.

-You can find lottery ticket UFOs when you refresh your page. I found a maximum of 2 tickets in one draw.

-You can win 2 × 1 ticket when your horses place first in a competition. You get 1 ticket per win.

-You can win a ticket every time you purchase a BMI with passes. Although, the number of tickets that you get doesn't change according to the BMI that you purchased. You only get 1 ticket per BMI, whether it's a nyx pack or an H. blanket, so I would recommend buying H. blankets if you want to go that route. Also, you can do this unlimited times and keep getting tickets every time you buy a BMI with passes.


Misc.
-All your tickets that you have at the time that a lottery draw takes place get used up in that draw. This means that lottery tickets don't carry over from draw to draw, unless you win extra lottery tickets from the previous draw. (And not having tickets during a draw/not participating in the draw means that you have less chances to win the divine)

-You may need to wake up at ungodly hours if you want to participate in every draw. This promo takes a lot of effort/maintenance if you want to participate in all the draws. Especially if you have unlocked the community objective to get 4 draws per day (1 draw every 6 hours).

-The only other way to win the divine is to fill his fragment meter by buying the festive chest. There isn't much of a luck aspect for winning the divine in this promo, besides for the luck needed to get him in the lottery draw itself.

-Small amounts of fragments (10×; 20×; 30×) are prizes in the draws.

-It is best to save all your clovers until after the last draw takes place because having more clovers allows you to buy items/BMIs of a higher value. The clover shop will remain open for a while afterwards so that you can make your purchases.

-It is possible to win BMIs from the lottery draws, however, it is highly unlikely to be good BMIs when it happens. The best BMI that I got from the draw was a P. Stroke.

-Clovers can be won from tickets in the amounts: (5×; 10×; 15×; 20×; 25×; and 30×). Or at least those are the amounts that I won. There may be additional amounts that can be won, however, it probably won't be much more than the above amounts.

-Renewing/buying a Pegasus/VIP membership will get you tickets.

-You can win a ticket every time you purchase a BMI with passes. Although, the number of tickets that you get doesn't change according to the BMI that you purchased. You only get 1 ticket per BMI, whether it's a nyx pack or an AP, so I would recommend buying 9× ageing points if you want to go that route. Also, you can do this unlimited times and keep getting tickets every time you buy a BMI with passes.
NB: The Black Pearl and horses from the sales don't count for this so you won't get tickets for buying them.

-The price of an item in the Clover shop will double after every time you buy that specific item again.

-Prizes range from 30× fragments for 10× clovers to 1× Themis Scale for 700× clovers.

-You will be reimbursed 200eq per ticket that is leftover from the last draw.

TIP: If you're going for the divine, then it would be a good idea to wait for the festivities/lottery to start BEFORE you open the festive chest. Remember, each item that you buy with passes (during the lottery) will award you with a lottery ticket. So every time you buy the festive chest during the lottery, you will get a free ticket. (You're probably going to need at least 21 chests, so that means that you'll get at least 21 tickets.) And you should also wait until just before the last lottery draw to buy the chest because by then, you'll know exactly how many fragments you still need to collect. This will minimize the number of chests that you will still need to open (because you've already collected most of the fragments that you can from the promo, excluding those that you can buy with clovers) and reduce your chances of having extra leftover fragments after the promo. And the bonus is that you get more free tickets for that last draw.

The new item gives a terrible +2 bonus to all skills.

The item makes your horse's mane appear plaited. However, it does nothing to your horse's tail and to your horse's forlock. So your horse will still have an unplaited forlock hanging over it's face, which does not look right at all because the rest of your horse's mane has tiny plaits in it. Also, the plaits in the mane resemble the plaits of a competition horse. They don't have those weird bobs at the end like in the picture.



And the divine offers a bonus pack. He's found on lvl 7 of the TC.

Here's info taken from Asper's post (Int), originally taken from the forum post by an admin on preprod:

"New Item: Button Plating

This is a brand new customization item!

When I receive this item, my horse receives:

· A mane with button-braided adapted to its morphology and color coat

· A competition bonus (+2 on every skills)

*Other customization items are planned to compliment the Button Plating!

Restrictions:

· Can only be placed on a horse that is 18 months old or older

· Cannot be placed on a special horse

· Cannot be placed on a donkey

· Cannot cumulate with special coat items that change the whole coat

· Can cumulate with customization items that change only a part of the coat AND don't change the mane (only Iris's coat for the moment, but there will be other ones in the future)

· Cannot be exchanged"

Beware that the item will replace GAs, VAs, 5th elements, etc. Although it can be used with MB.

Notus (wind divine) and the wanderer'sspirit will be available. Nothing has been said about the EC diplomas as of yet, but if Howrse follows the schedule then they should be released this weekend.

lottery

we've got the falahorns in the TC. Hopefully Howrse will get back on schedule with the diplomas in the HoPs. But the only spoiler that was announced was the falahorns. Taken from Nalu93's post.

That is actually a Falacorn that is coming.

Twitter post translates them to being in titans and fleeces.

So Skeiron in the Fleece and a Porcupine (it at least looks like one) in the TC probably?

Yep. It is a Hedgehog chimera

level the hedgehog will be in the TC, and how much fragments will there be per one TC?

It should be on level 5. All the chimeras that showed up in TC are on that level.

TIPS:
-Make sure that your click meter doesn't fill up all the way. If it does, then it will stop regenerating clicks and you will be wasting the time in which it could potentially regenerate new clicks.

- Read BEFORE you click! Every time you unlock a new pinãta, you may want to check the objectives that come with your pinãta BEFORE you use up clicks on that piñata. For example, you could have an objective that increases the amount of points that each click is worth. And if you just start clicking your piñata immediately without checking your objectives and seeing that reward, then you may end up using clicks that are worth less points when instead you could have just completed the objective and used those same clicks that would then be worth more points.

-If you can't do an objective, then just donate a low level BMI (eg A. Lyre) to Ow. That would have the same effect as completing the objective and you will still get the reward.

-Every time you fill the click meter for a piñata, you need to collect your earnings before you can move on. So if you're stuck on a pinãta after you filled it's meter then it's probably because you haven't collected your earnings.

-You can only unlock 1 piñata at a time in the order that they are given. The rest of the piñatas' objectives and click meters will not be accessible until you have finished the previous piñata's click meter and collected your earnings.

-You cannot go back to complete objectives that you skipped after you move on to the next piñata. So I would suggest that you do the objectives that you get with your piñata ASAP because you will not be able to collect the reward that the objective offers after you move on to the next pinãta.

-You can help your friends out once per day by clicking on their pinãta through your piñata page (if they request help). You can also request help yourself. The amount of requests that you can make per day depends on how many objectives you have completed to earn more requests per day. If you don't have friends, then I recommend posting in the 'find a friend' forum to help you find friends.

-You cannot replay the promo once you complete it.

-When an objective asks you to spend an AP on a horse that is 15y old, then you need to spend an AP on a horse that is EXACTLY 15y old. If you age a horse who is 15y Xm old or older/younger then you won't complete the objective. Or you can just use a BMI.

-The promo offers you a free divine falabella as a final prize! This is a rare opportunity nowadays so why not take advantage of it and go for the fala? He's free after all

-There's no community piñata for this event.

-This promo CAN be completed without the use of passes.
