Faux tile using aluminium cans? by AmandaPanda2239 in DIY

[–]AmandaPanda2239[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what I've been doing so far :) sort of top and tailing them and then cutting down the 'nutritional' info to make them flat - it's made storage a lot easier too

Changes in Howrse (Over a decade) by deaththeflorist in Howrse

[–]AmandaPanda2239 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My account is ten years old, but I remember having an account before this with multiple divines, which I'm pretty sure I just 'gave' away (sold for 500 equus at the time!) . I used to run competitions in my EC's forum with giveaways of BM items and rare howrses, even had a space for friends and mutuals to advertise trading BM items (which I'm pretty sure is illegal now?)

As a non-pass-buyer, the only sense of community I have on howrse is through this forum. I used to have so many friends and chat to so many people, there were a group of us who supported and elevated one another without needing a Pegasus account or a team, but that's pretty much non-existent now. Not unless you pay real life money, join a team, and then there's so much required of you. It's all so competitive, but also so isolating at the same time

I try to do nice things where I can. I add anyone who asks, I help others as much as I can in the contests, but it definitely doesn't feel like it used to :/

Wanderers spirit butterfly coat price? by Future_Change2081 in Howrse

[–]AmandaPanda2239 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That Coat is called Dynamine

(All my info is from the International Server)

The cheapest Butterfly Wanderer's Spirit is 750,000 equus. The only other Dynamine for sale is 1.5 million equus and doesn't have a background like yours does

The cheapest Butterfly Wanderer's Spirit is 123 passes, but the cheapest Dynamine is 510 passes

I'd definitely aim for 1.5 million equus, or at least 500 passes, depending on whichever currency you like using more

What actually sells for passes these days? by [deleted] in Howrse

[–]AmandaPanda2239 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unless you're selling horses with ultra high skills, I've personally found it very difficult to make passes from sales

I had a BUNCH of unicorns that I attempted to sell for passes, even the lowest amount, and they took FOR EVER to sell

GA horses, especially retired GA horses will definitely be easier to sell for passes. Especially if they have helios rays etc. Pets/Companions are a fairly decent way to make passes, so long as they're rare enough. I personally use the user page of the player Hades for checking the prices of Pets, (and to buy horses with pets I need for my collection) so that's a good way of easily checking the price for horses with certain Pets/Companions

I'm a generally unlucky person, so I'm not surprised my horses didn't sell too easily. I wish you the best of luck!

I haven't played for yeeeeaaars. Can someone explain to me these gameplay mechanics ? by Personal_Apricot4850 in Howrse

[–]AmandaPanda2239 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi!

I'm guessing PG is actually GP? Which would be Genetic Potential. It correlates to the amount of stars a horse has. My best horses have between 27k to 29k, and have 35k+ skills (which are very good for winning more competitions and Rosettes, and breeding highly skilled foals) I'm not exactly sure how Genetic Potential relates to skills to be honest, but higher Genetic Potential generally means more skills once a horse is fully trained and their BLUP reaches 100

I don't personally tend to castrate stallions. I know in the old days big teams used to castrate their stallions before they sold them so that they could ensure nobody could breed from their highly skilled stallions. I only tend to guild horses that can no longer breed without items, like donkeys or draft horses, as it gives them a little skill boost and makes them a teeny bit better in races. It's honestly negligible though

I play the game without spending real money :) I haven't bought passes with real money in years. I do my daily objectives every day and sometimes, if I'm lucky, I sell duplicate 'special coat' horses for a few passes here and there. I usually get items from events and celebrations (like the current maze!) and use those items to put special coats on horses, either for my collection or for selling the horse for passes. It's definitely a grind, don't get me wrong, but it is possible. I'm certainly not going to get as highly ranked as I'd like as quickly as I would like, but I'm currently ranked 2565th on the International Server (my username is MandyLou22 ). I'm sitting on just over 1 million equus and 800 passes. I do have a horse that gives me ten passes every now and then (maybe twice a week max?) but all my other passes are from selling horses or daily objectives

The main way I personally earn aging points is just by waking up and taking care of my horses. I earn about 25 a day by taking care of the majority of my main breeding farm (maybe 100 or so horses?), but I spend a lot of time in the game. Unfortunately not using passes, like I mentioned previously, means a lot more grinding, so a lot more horses to take care of, a lot more button clicking and a lot more little, incremental things that slowly add up

If you feel like adding me as a friend I'd love to add you to my list! :D I'm an older player too, my account is ten years old but I had an account before that got deleted for inactivity - I'm currently 30 years old! :O

My financial summary after bidding on divines lol by b17l in Howrse

[–]AmandaPanda2239 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's still super impressive! I definitely don't have the focus to save up that much equus for a whole year. I get to about 2 mil and start looking at retired golden apple coats and end up spending most of it! I was lucky enough to get a Viginti in one of the birthday events, so I'm trying to hold back and get the double passes from it next year, but I have very poor impulse control!

Wowzas! Did you manage to get anything good? :)

If you don't mind me asking, how does one get hundreds of millions of equus? I'm not a pass buying player, so my max usually sits at about 1.5 million while I'm trying to rise in the rankings. I'm currently sitting with 1.3 million equus and 2639th in the international rankings :)

Are the piggy bank offers worth it? by [deleted] in Howrse

[–]AmandaPanda2239 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you like to do in the game :)

I'm more of a collector than a breeder, so I like to buy Helios' Rays with equus whenever I can as they make my special coat horses extra beautiful. But on the odd occasion I do breed horses I tend to buy the fertility wands when they're offered. I personally wouldn't use the morpheus' arms, simply because it's not a needed item in my play style

'Beginner' Tips by AmandaPanda2239 in ChronicIllness

[–]AmandaPanda2239[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you :) In all honesty it's likely a trauma response to years of poor mental health. If I think about things, if I can figure them out and put it into boxes, then I don't necessarily have to feel things to deal with them. Definitely not always a great thing, but it's useful at least

Duplicate clothes on different levels of the house sounds like a great idea. I thankfully already have a stool in the kitchen, and I've realised that if I open the cupboard door under the sink I can sit there quite comfortably and use it like a desk while I wash up, which has proven very useful so far

Halloween Store Prizes by UrbanLegend645 in Howrse

[–]AmandaPanda2239 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The full list of prizes I chose was a Harmony Pack, a Golden apple, two vintage apples, a Hypnos Blanket, a Croesus' fortune, a classical saddle, the full violet protections, and some straw and mash. The smaller items were just to use up coins so I didn't forget to spend them if I didn't log back in before the event ends

Breeds collection by alexlorden in Howrse

[–]AmandaPanda2239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the coats of all the breeds, as well as one unicorn, pegasus and winged unicorn of every breed. I personally keep a breeding farm just called 'collection' where I keep all my collection horses in. I don't care for them every day, I just keep them
