Suggestion: Not enough Horseshoes

sableskye (US1)sableskye (US1) US1 Posts: 27
I would like to suggest that GGS somehow increase the amount of horseshoes for training that they give us when the boat comes around.

At the most, u would probably get about 8,000 horseshoes (close guestimate) if u max both berries that the ship asks for, after 5 hours, another 8,000 horseshoes.

If u are training ur horses at max with 4,000 horseshoes, at each training facility, one horse each, thats simple math = 12,000 horseshoes every 4 hours. there is no way that we are gonna have enough horseshoes for training.

In a 20 hour period, we would collect from the boat about 32,000. Our requirements for training for the same period for 3 horses, 1 on each training ground would be 60,000 horseshoes. That's about double.X(

Even if u have all the runestones and seashells in the world, one would still not have enough training horseshoes because the game just isn't giving a fair exchange.

Please give us the shoes we need so we can train our horses.

Maybe the boat can come more often?

    Well, I'd personally love to see more horseshoes, even just a few more... But the horses aren't supposed to be completed that amazingly fast! It is a game of patience and planning. ^^ They have already figured out exactly how they want it to go, and put their formula into the game. I don't see them changing it, let alone adding more boat visits than there already are. I think they struck a nice balance overall.

    Can't imagine how many more shells/runestones I'd have to collect to fill the boat even more times a day! :pinch: Nah. Good how it is in my opinion.

    Try to fill the highest amount for the fruits slots (level 3) to the ship, it will give you a lot of horseshoes (bonus) rather than the Smallest amount of fruits, Right now if i can trade all of my tropical fruits, i can earn at least 150,000+ horseshoes.

    The last suggestions, DON'T DO INTENSIVE TRAINING, at least if you dont have level 10 Arena, because intensive training give you less points with much horseshoes

    The effective amount of horseshoes you should spent on certain level of arena :
    Level 1 Arena : 400 Horseshoes
    Level 2 Arena : 800 Horseshoes
    Level 3 Arena : 1200 Horseshoes
    Level 4 Arena : 1600 Horseshoes
    Level 5 Arena : 2000 Horseshoes

    This is very important!

    If you struggle to get enough horseshoes to train your horses, never invest in intensive training!
    This option was added for those with an abundance of horseshoes to spend, to enable them to get training results that are a little higher than usual. For everybody else, this option is not cost effective.

    So if you are struggling, please follow futrirafi's advice and invest only enough horseshoes for regular training. Then focus on increasing the amount of horseshoes you can gain by giving as many exotic fruits or berries to the ship as possible. ;)

    Happy training!

    Cheers,
    Steffi

    I have noticed today that the amount of horseshoes I am getting for a full cargo of berries has drastically reduced. Yesterday I was getting just under 8000 for maxed out berries. Today, across all three ships, I have been getting just over 5000. Is there a set ratio of shoes to berries or is it, like so much else in this game, totally random?

    Your ship will ask for the most from what you have in store. So if you can't provide the biggest amount it will ask for a smaller amount which gives you way less horseshoes. You can always change the amount you want to give the ship by using the green arrows on the side of the box.

    The 3 prices per fruit doesn`t change, what does change is the number of fruits he asks for, so even if you sell for the top price every time, it will still vary because the number you get to sell varies. The other 4 slots can effect your total horseshoes quite a lot too, I have had times where he has put in 4 items all paying just a couple of shoes each & other times he has asked for a ton of apples and other orchard things at same time.... I like them ones hehe ^^

    You know how many horseshoes you get per day, on average, so don't use more than that to train your horses.

    Have anybody make any kind of statistic or notes for how many horseshoe the ship deliver?
    What I'm thinking on is: If we always gives minimum load, will we then on every visit get the same number or horseshoes, or will that be different depending on which type of products the ship want?

    If not anybody have takes notes or make a statistic for that, I think I will try to check that out the next 2-3 times the ship visit my farms...

    It depends on what the ship wants, I don't have any numbers. On avarage its about 250 shoes, minimum fruit load.

    I kept track for a while, to make sure I wouldn't use too many horseshoes.

    I kept a list for a couple of days, these were the numbers of each shipping:

    Numbers will ofcourse vary with your level as well. I asked my best friend in the same coop for his numbers too.

    Gwen: (lvl 127)

    586
    639
    558
    648
    686
    679
    559
    762

    Herbs: (lvl 119)

    762
    702
    562
    687
    714
    769
    453
    553


    It heavily depends on what 'normal' products the ship asks for and wether he wants cheap or expensive nursery fruits.
    All numbers are with minimum nursery fruits.

    Thank you Gwendolen, your numbers shows is obvious that there can be a big difference from ship to ship, how many runestones / horseshoe to get from the ship.

    You're welcome, I was glad I didn't throw out the piece of paper I wrote it on yet :)

    It definitely differs very much from shipment to shipment, if he only asks cheap products and also just green and red berries it's a lot less than other times.

    Yes, it's exectly because of the different shipments I thought there must be a a difference, because also I have try to deliver all greenhouse combinations from 2 cheap types to 2 expensive types.
