Beginners' Bonuses and Achievement Tasks
Your go-to orientation/walk-through.
Beginners Bonuses
- In order to help you get started, there are some benefits that are only available to new players.
- Showing bonus - Your daily showing bonus depends on the total number of show points your horses bring to the barn. Building up a show herd takes time, so to help you out, new horses that you create will have a random number of show points assigned to them, up to 1000 points. This bonus will continue until your total points reaches 20,000 (See the Performance Overview section of your main stable page, where it says "You currently hold xx,xxx points"). Once that happens your newly created horses will have to earn their points by showing. (Editors: This information needs to be updated to reflect the new total points you've created as opposed to total points you own)
- If you drop back down below 20k per day, your new create horses will start to have the show points added once again.
- Horses with points already earned will keep those points.
- If you drop back down below 20k per day, your new create horses will start to have the show points added once again.
- Achievement Tasks
- Achievement tasks are like a tutorial, they show you how the different parts of the game work, but they also bring rewards for completing each task. Some are cash rewards, and others are 'experience points' that help you earn new stalls in your main barn.
- One Acheivement Tasks directs you to post on the forum in your Peer Group Discussion section. The link to your Peer Group Discussion will appear in orange letters on the list of links on the left side of the page. There is a different Peer Group Discussion for each month.
- Once you post in the correct discussion you will get a new 15 stall barn, and 25,000 extra HBs to spend! Make your post as long, or as short as you like, but we hope you will let us know a little bit about you and your history with horses.
