Horseshoe

[minor light]

Is it worth it to buy horseshoes from Silverton?
I'm missing one to upgrade the stable and start breeding and just did a shootout spot and I didn't get any

[crimson valley]

i've bought a few as shootout loves to give me stirrups and saddles 90% of the time.
If you can afford it easily and think you won't regret it, may as well!

if you’re eager to start breeding ASAP, buying that last horseshoe from Silverton is TOTALLY worth it.

But if you buy when you have VIP it's 240 silver per piece, instead of 300.

It would be worth it , honestly . Since shootout spot is quite rare

[crimson valley]

so if you've got a free day you can use from a pass, activate it before you buy
there's also code WLSHUB that you can enter on the hub for a free day's VIP if you haven't used it yet

(or if you already bought vip that also works)

Yeah I'm really excited but at the same time I know that breeding not effective 100% and buying horses is better so i don't want to waste coins

I have vip

Just like Velo answered you shootout spot is quite rare, maybe you need to wait a long time

[urban bough]

Then it is definitely worth buying

Maybe you can wait for the event to come and there will be free horses, or wait for the carousel in the town and get 2-3 horses if you are lucky

Breeding does have an element of gambling and I totally understand you don't want to waste your hard earned gold on something that may not pay off

Do you mean the fortune wheel?

[crimson valley]

horse wheel in Silverton is something you're best waiting until you are in marshlands for (T5) i think.
What level are you/what areas do you have open?

[earnest bison]

Yes, the town draw wheel. Rewards will be reset every two weeks

[minor light]

I'm T3 about to hit T4 maybe tomorrow or after depending on the new season

[crimson valley]

it is very good value at higher level only. if you are still in the middle zone or north/south, it might be better to get some cheaper horses from Arabella (t3 common) and breed them.

ok yeah for you i would say horse wheel is maybe not value for money yet

in your place i would get some T3s and breed up a little, while you're still in North/South you don't need horses to be as fast. once you are close to opening T6 zone that's when they need to be fast because Boreal is far from home.

Ok thanks guys I'm buying it

Bought it 😁

Any tips about breeding though?

[crimson valley]

The first horses that you buy from Arabella will all be the same so don't worry about trying to make the best pairing there, just go for it with the horses you get

At lower levels, once you have foals that you've bred which have grown up, i would say try to match the pairings based on speed skill.

if you have one male and one female horse with uncommon speed and one female with just common speed, breed the 2 with uncommon speed together. it gives you slightly better chances of a higher rarity foal. 🙂

don't breed ones that are different tiers/rarities if you can help it (OR unless you've got a strong genes horse, those are different) - for example
t3 common x t3 uncommon will almost always give t3 common foal
t3 common x t3 rare will give you a t3 uncommon horse as it is between the 2 rarities.
