horse ranch...

hi, just wondering (and i have looked in the forum but can't seem to find it.) but do we need to complete all 3 island chapters before we have access to the up coming ranch?

i know it is a bit late to ask this as the event is nearly over, but wondering as i have seen you need horseshoes for the ranch, which you can get from the ship and sea shells from the island but i can't remember if we needed to finish the island chapters?

thanks

    As far as i know, no we don't need to complete the island event at all.

    All we need is to collect seashells, buy fruit seeds with shells and grow fruits in greenhouse. And then load fruits to boat to have horseshoes. Horseshoes are those what we need for horses. If you don't have fruits enough to load to the boat, other products like pigs, eggs or what ever ship asks, gives horseshoes too. Not so many, but some.

    (i'm not 100% sure, but this is what i know) ;)

    Just to add to Dara's answer. The ranch is not jet implemented in the game. So do not worry in you have no acces to it: nobody does.
    We will have to wait for a few more game upgrades before we will be able to play with horses.

    You do not need to finish any chapters of the Island for the Paddock.

    The chapters are a bonus to gain the island decos - that's all the chapters are for

    You do not need to finish any of the left hand bar island tasks. They are for extra bonus shells

    For the Paddock you need horseshoes. Which can be obtained from the ship without ever opening and going to the island. Just using the ship without any exotic fruits is just a much slower way of earning the horseshoes

    No one knows yet when it's coming. Keep an eye on official announcement for more information.

    If I may, The Horse Coral is known to be coming, The Island farm was known to be coming and the week before it diod, they started the asian event 1 week ahead of time, right now they have been promising the coral and the asian event just started. In my opinion it will be coming next week. I have no way of knowing but the parallels are too similar

    Hi Jody

    Nafaru let it slip that the horses would be coming "after a few more updates". My guess is Asia has been moved up this time to make room or the Halloween event and the horses will be here in about a month.

    I do not think it will be the haloween event because they do not move up major events just for things like the halloween event. Although I am probably wrong I would like to think they will be doing the horse coral next week

    We should have all ready had the horse. To many guessing games with the island and horse ranch,how about it ggs, just tell us when the horses will be here.

    Hi Jody

    Nafaru let it slip that the horses would be coming "after a few more updates".

    trying to be savvy and really cull through the info here.... updates don't happen every other day. From what she said, it's still being coded out ( uh, you guys launched a product expectation without having so much as a concept??? ). From the point she made that statement and given the frequency of updates.... that would be 3ish weeks. I'm betting a lot of people will be running out of fruit and seeds by then, save for those who really went hog wild on the island and spent $$$$. I'm putting my flag in/around the October 6th area.

    We'll see, though......we'll see.

    The last time the event was moved up was due to the temporary Island farm. This event got moved up... my speculation... to make room for the next temporary farm.... which.... my speculation... would be a temporary Pumpkin Patch type of situation for Halloween. (Speculation)

    But Halloween is still over a month out..... Hmmmm.

    lol

    They have Halloween decos in the tower, so will probably have some kind of event for Halloween.
    Some of them will be gold packs probably also.

    They didn't say the island farm would be next in the Official Announcement. They just told us about the upcoming changes to the island farm.

    Exactly farmerjohn22! Nowhere is mentioned that the island farm will come back coming monday! And when logging in, you might conclude from the BF newspaper that the paddock is the next thing to be operational.

    O.M.G. Everybody enhance your calm about the horse paddock already. GGS will release the lock on the paddock at their scheduled time and not before. All this nagging is boring and won't speed it up. That being said, I think it will be a big let down if you don't have massive amounts of bucks/coins to spend. I'm guessing it will be along the lines of the Island farm with one exception it will stay around. I will go in to look at it but I don't see me doing anything else.

    In all seriousness, it may be expensive, which I hope not, if it is I will work on that as secondary, most of my main farm is as high as i can go without the the Architect except for 1 final upgrade, the gourmet farm is my next upgrades so i will do those with a small percentage going to the horse paddock. If it is not a money drain, I will definitely do it.

    1) 2 points for Demolition Man nod.

    2) -2 points for saying scheduled time when even they said they do not have one.

    Congrats on being back where you started with no gain yet it took your time. It's the GGS way after all :P

    horse paddock, coral, same thing, anything having to do with horses

    cow feed? selling of?, you get money, only problem is you sell it at a loss, and you need to produce more to make up for it

    All we have been told is that it is a HorseRanch. No opening dates have been given.The horseshoes will be used on the Horse Ranch for something. In the “2 Years of Big Farm” e-mail that wasrandomly sent out to some players. It said it would be available from Level 16and this:
    Your ownranch!
    Soon youcan use horseshoes to unlock your own horse ranch! Breed horses, train forcompetitions and let them compete against each other!
    Since the Island is not available until level 30, Iwould say that the island is not necessary to use the horse Ranch.
