Suggestion: Horse shoes

kennetha3kennetha3 Posts: 57
I finished the last 3 islands, and i still run out of fruit for the ship,, therefore i can not train my horses. You ask for certain fruit on the ship if you dont have it then your ship sits there for 6 hrs and then ships off for another 6 hrs how on earth am i ever going to get horse shoes to train my horses? As much as you come up with, why cant you come up with a way to earn extra horse shoes. I have got a total of 354 horse shoes in the last 2 days. My horses are suffering why cant we trade some of our gold horse shoes for the training ones? Or have the reward better with the islands. I dont know but seems like you could do something here to help us out!8|

    Well first I agree that if a farmer finishes the Island you should be able to get enough seeds to get them to the next Temp farm. That said, a couple of questions... 1) are you out of one type of seed, but not another? You might have to adjust your seed buying amounts if that's the case. 2) did you overfill the ship sometimes, or pick a steady level to give the ship each time? There might be some play there as well. and 3) did you use some of your shells to buy Island decorations/houses? If so maybe you need to change that priority?

    Just some suggestions that might help.

    I can NEVER get any shoes , cause i can never get a lot of shoes, keep running out of fruit. this is sad too. had lot of trouble with my Island this time This stinks,

    I pour a lot of money into the Island & get Nothing out of it . the a big problem with me. thinking of quitting the game it's getting to up setting to play.

    I spent $6million on the Island, I have been minimum loading the Ship (reducing the fruit quantities when ever necessary), using Greenhouse Humus 99% of the time and I still have seeds in stock. It is possible, honest!

    I agree with Uncle John: I only finished an Island Farm event once completely - all the others I did 1 or 2 chapters, just for the shells/runestones. And I too, send the ship away with as much minimum loads as possible (only sometimes when I can afford it, I give Barnacle maximum loads) ....

    ... and I too, have more than enough Tropical/Nordic seeds to get horseshoes. My 6th generation horses are in training as we speek.

    Because the Island Farm did not start this week, I decided only to train my horses every other day now (just to be sure, but not really necessary)....

    Jiesta, may I respectfully suggest instead of training every other day, training half every day? Why? Because the bonus from the training areas.

    Lets say you have a lvl 5 riding circle. And if you train full normal (no intense) you get 200+5 per training, and you train 3x a day. That's 615 each day that way, or 615 every other day if you skip a day. Lets say you you halve your training, and get only 100+5 training per. 3x a day is 315, or 645 every two days vs 615.

    Its never worth training fewer times vs training all the time with fewer horseshoes.

    I agree that the greenhouse seeds run out too quickly if you are very active. This needs fixed! Run the events at all time please! maybe another option would be allow a way for people to generate more seeds from the seeds they earned in the events (like the special corn, wheat, etc seeds).

    I probably train my horses slower than others, but I never run out of shoes.

    I kept track of how many horseshoes I got from the ship for a couple of days, made an average and calculated how many horseshoes per training per horse I could use without running out. I still have plenty seeds, plenty fruits and lots of horseshoes.

    A friend in my coop did the last island, first island for her and before she did the islands, she only used 20 horseshoes per training. It takes a while that way, but you do make the most of the bonus points.
    She got into gold 2 on the first competition and platinum 5 on the most recent one.

    So this too is just strategy and planning well. And patience, lots of patience :p
