Poor Star Stable tried to make the quizzes challenging but it seems that the questions are either worded badly (both saddle pads and blankets are something you can use on horses) or the answers given aren’t correct, even if you Google them (horses CAN drink up to 12 gallons a day but that certainly isn’t typical). I myself have gotten frustrated with these quests so I am breaking my rule about posting special event information.

Each character has a yellow exclamation point quest in which they tell you they have a quiz trail. Click on them again and the trail itself becomes a daily quest. You can only do a trail successfully once. If you fail, you can try again tomorrow until you answer correctly. You will not be told if your answers were correct until you return to the quest character to end the quest and you will not be told which answers were incorrect if you fail.

There is one item from each person except both James and Pamela Moonriver give two. Complete all of the quizzes and you will have earned the 5th year birthday set.

So… I was dumb and didn’t save the clues from last year, so I will be updating this post every day as I get each new clue. Sorry ’bout that y’all.

Speak to Felix to begin the daily treasure hunt. There is a general area to search and the treasure will be found in a different exact location for each player. Once you have found the treasure, return to Felix and he will give you a prize from a lottery of prizes. Just like with the Christmas treasure, it is possible to get the same prize more than once.

Thursday

“Felix can be a big prize-giver
Just find the treasure to deliver
You’ll hear the sound with an excited shiver
Of a song so silver from the river.”

-Silversong river, east side, between the mill and Valedale.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Friday

“By the coast and beach and gentle waves
The road towards Fort Pinta paves
A path to the treasure Felix craves
At the ruined church with its peaceful graves.”

-Doyle’s chapel, in and around the graveyard.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Saturday

“A hunt for treasure with thrills and scrapes
With fun and laughs and close escapes
Go search for the box of golden shapes
Among the stables, terraces, and grapes.”

-Winery vineyards

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Sunday

“Through tree trunks and rocks, the path you wove
Could lead you to the treasure trove
Search between an apple grove
and the southern tunnel where bulldozers drove.”

-Applegrove, south of Firgrove, directly across the water from Fort Pinta

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Monday

“The treasure hunt is under way
So find the loot without delay!
The clue I have for you today:
The giant building with stone so grey.”

-Silverglade castle

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Tuesday

“To gain your prize for treasure found
You need to hear the whooshing sound
Of a mill in the wind going round and round
So ride on up to a hillside mound!”

-Mill Hill of Will

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Wedsnesdy

“The blowing of an eternal breeze
A gentle wind that doesn’t freeze
And rustles sweetly in the trees
Where balloons fly high with the birds and the bees.”

-Everwind Field, under the hot air balloons

Rewards updated for Valentine’s 2017!

PLEASE NOTE!

Each letter is hidden in a different location for each player, so I can only give general directions to where they are hidden. If you are having trouble finding a letter, log out, and log back in, and the letter location will reset and be moved to a new location within the hiding area. You will hear a  chime when you are in an area containing a letter, and also when you leave the area.

For the first day of Derek’s quests, the missing letters in “Letter Disaster” can all be found within the walls of Silverglade Village.

The following descriptions are for the hidden letters after you complete the second day quest with Derek, “Stormy Forecast on the Letter Front”

You are my best friend. Thank you for always being there for me, especially when more dorky horse girls come riding to Moorland wanting to ride our fine courses. If I was the only one who had to keep them all under control, I’d go crazy!

Thank you, Dad. You raised me all by yourself, and I know that must have been hard. Especially the last few years. Thanks to you, I know I’ll always have a home to come back to.

My love, you are always on my mind. Even through we haven’t seen each other in a while, you are always in my heart. I think of you when I go to bed at night.

Hello, rival dearest. I never thought I’d admit it, but your pony race looks to be going great. However, you and your sister have to watch out, cause I’ll be hosting my own pony race soon. The best and biggest Jorvik has ever seen! I just have to find a really good race course builder which will make me one for free, first.

Happy Valentine’s Day. The Boss.
