The Jorvik Star Issue 3

 ★Jorvik Star★

Issue 3 ★ Week of September 13 - 19

This Week's Update...

This week's update brought two new Jorvik Wild Horses to Jorvik, Dorcha and Solas. They are peacock butterfly horses based on Irish legends that butterflies can cross over from the human world to the otherworld.  They will be around for two weeks, and you can find them at Fort Pinta Beach for 850 StarCoins.
In my opinion, I like Solas (The blue one) better than Dorcha (pink) but I don't really like their markings. I would maybe get one if I wasn't saving up for Halloween horses. 

Along with Dorcha and Solas, SSO released two new limited time flying pets to go with them, the Deep-Sea Gull and the Dreamy Owl. They are the same colors as Dorcha's and Solas' magic forms, and are for 400 StarCoins or you can get both the owl and seagull pet with a StarCoins bundle of 2000 SC or 5000 SC. 

Lifetime Star Riders: New Bonus Shop Item!

A new item was added to the Bonus Shop in this update for those Lifetime Star Riders. You'll find the bonus shop in Moorland beside the well. 

A New Account Update

Now you can change the email associated with your SSO account. It is currently only available for users who haven't made a purchase on their account but other users will be able to after SSO is confident that it's is working how intended.

Next Week's Update...

The hint given for us this week on the SSO website's news page is:
 "Petunia is setting up a show jumping course by Jorvik Stables and some new clothes are incoming."

The Jorvik Star Issue 2

 ★Jorvik Star★

Issue 2 ★ Week of September 6 - 12

This Week's Update...

September 9 -

This week brought along the Fort Pinta Beach Festival. Many of us had guessed from last Wednesday's teaser on the SSO news page that it would be an entirely new event, considering sso had said themselves at the beginning of the summer that the beach party would not return due to it's unpopularity last year. However, they did bring it back in this update. Though it is the very same thing as before, there are a few small changes I have noticed that I don't remember being so last year.

Tim Hooper is of course back with his questline again. I have noticed many changes to it.
1. No more annoying long cutscenes in the quests. This makes the quests not take as long. I also think the cutscenes that were in the questline previously could have affected those playing it that have epilepsy. SSO had previously changed the Druid Training Symbols part for the same reason, so I find it possible that this was a reason it was unpopular last year.
2. Our quest reward this year is white sunglasses. They'll be nice for summer outfits.
3. I also think the beach race has been shortened. I could be wrong, but it felt like it was.

The Miscreants themed shop is back again. It has three Miscreants cropped t-shirts, some black shorts, black boots, and two masks: a Miscreants "Cat" mask and a fox mask.
Now the fox mask there has brought me to a question and has me confused.
A while back SSO added a secret hidden quest up in Goldenhills Valley with a little red fox. You'd play in wild horse mode and locate the fox everyday in his unknown hiding spot, complete his challenge, then do it again the next day for one week. If you missed a day, you'd have to wait until that day to do it again. Well, after spotting the fox back in his spot whilst doing a fall photoshoot I finished the questline with him and got the reward: a fox mask. So now here's my question: why exactly is there a fox mask in the Miscreants shop when we should have one from the fox for free? All I can think is so non star riders can buy it, but even so once they become star rider they'd find the fox quests eventually. If you know another explanation, please do comment in the comments section!

Back to this week's update review. We also got three minor changes this week as well (though some may be major if you think about it.)
1. Championship Times have changed so that there's a championship every hour on the hour. This is a major update if you enjoy doing championships; minor if you don't do them. I'm in between - I do them to see if I can win, but I usually don't so sometimes I go days without doing one.
2. Your horse will now recover and go back to galloping off faster now after bumping into a fence, tree, wall, lamppost, whatever it is you run right into. They also go longer before needing to press the up arrow (or W key... or mouse wheel) to continue that gait. 
3. The chat, photomode, and notifications buttons all received a new look. They look really nice compared to the old ones.


Lost Shark Has Been Found...

Myself and a few other long-time SSO players got worried when realizing the shark in Fort Pinta was gone. I noticed it was gone when I had decided to show someone it was there because they never knew about it. 
The shark has made it's return with the Fort Pinta Beach Party, proof it may just be connected to that event. However, I remember it before being in Fort Pinta permanently until it mysteriously disappeared, like how there's a permanent shark swimming near Cape West Fishing Village.

Thoughts and Theories...

Thoughts and Theories posts will return this week or next right here on my blog. I will complete, continue, and answer my previous theories about the first Soul Riders book, and will do the second as soon as I get it. My first one to come however will be focusing on the "guests" at the Fort Pinta Beach Festival and what they say that might be hints to future updates.

Spoilers Surfacing... 

Next week's update has already been figured out what it is and we know more about SSO's Birthday event clothing, tack and pet for this year. 
Next week we will be getting some new Jorvik Wild Horses. I'm going to leave it at that for now and let you check the SSO Instagram or Twitter if you want to know more.
The birthday outfit and tack for this year is in my favorite colors, blue and purple, which gets a major thumbs up from me, since last year's was yellow and orange and I don't like orange. The pet for this year however is quite funny and unexpected. I'm eager to see how many people will make use of the "pet" and if we will get more of them someday.
 

A Reminder...

The Soul Riders Book 2: The Legend Awakens is available now. You should be able to find it in stores, online, or where you buy your eBooks. A SSO YouTuber also suggested that you can get a free 30 day trial of Amazon Audible and get it in audio book if you'd prefer it that way.

Coming Soon to my Blog...

Stay tuned for a fall photoshoot and my fashion and tack must-have list for the fall!

Crafting with Plants, Magical Horses, and a Kingdom of Clouds?.

Star Stable's last June update gave Farah a nice little shop and a new thing to keep us busy - Crafting!
Now we can forage for plants to craft materials for clothing and tack and make stuff to sell to people around Jorvik.
Here's how it works (Although you probably know by now)-

First, go to Farah's shop and go to the task board. Checkmark every one listed and try to remember what each wants. You'll have 3 deliveries per day. You can check the bench to see what ingredients you need, or just go forage and come back with a lot of ingredients. You search around Silverglade County, Harvest Counties, and South Hoof for the ingredients: plants. They have yellowish sparkles so they're easy to see. There was supposedly some way to tell by looking at your minimap (not the big map) when you're close but that doesn't seem to work. July 1 Update: The minimap icon works correctly now. You'll see a flower shape on your minimap if you're near a harvestable plant. Below I have a map and a list of what you'll likely find where, as the map isn't very easy to tell where things are precisely. Once you see one, click on it and it will go.in your inventory. These will always stay in your inventory even if you log out, so don't be afraid to grab every plant you see! 
You bring the ingredients to Farah's and craft them into things. Things like Candles and Herbal Tea are to deliver to NPCs. Things like cloth and ropes can be used to make tack and clothes. Ingredients can also be placed in delivery box in exchange for extra reputation. However there's a twist: If you put 10 Flax in the box and come back with more, you'll need 20, then 30, etc. So I'd recommend saving up your ingredients and donate 10 every day, as it resets back to 10 the next day.
Once you've craftec the object requested you deliver it to the NPC by going to where they are and finding the delivery box. You click it and give them the object. You'll earn reputation and Jorvik Shillings. 

Eventually you will unlock an owl pet, I'm guessing through reputation.
Here's the Map:
Credit to Mayrishka on YouTube for making the map and LunaAutumndew for sharing the photo on SSO Forums.

Here's the List of where you'll find the ingredients:
Bee Balm: Firgrove, Forgotten Fields, Silverglade, Jarlaheim. Not found at Valedale/ Hollow Woods/ Valedale Lake. Seems to be a rare plant to find. 
Chamomile: Found in Greendale, Hollow Woods and Firgrove. Rare to find.
Flax: Everwind Fields, the Fields near Starshine Ranch, South Hoof Peninsula, The Forgotten Fields, on Paddock Island, Near Seahorse Beach, and near Sunfield Farm. Not found in Valedale/Hollow Woods/ Valedale Lake. Common and easily found by just running around the sunny fields.
Jute: Found along water such as Valedale Lake, Silversong River, and the Ocean. Seems to be less common.
Rubia: Found in Mountainous areas such as Forgotten Fields, Greendale, Firgrove Mountain Pass, Red String Trail, The Observatory, and the Mountain where the Druid Paddock is. Rare to find.
Moss: Found growing by trees in my experience. Forgotten Fields, Near Sunfield Farm, Greendale, Hollow Woods, Valedale Lake, Firgrove.

Tip: The only things found in South Hoof are Flax, Jute, and Bee Balm.
Here's a list of NPCs who request the deliveries and where they are:
Conrad - Moorland
Mr. Cod - Moorland
Mrs. Holdsworth - Moorland
Jonas - Hightower
Hugh - South Hoof

Craftable Tack & Clothes:
3 Beanie Hats
3 Gloves
3 Bosal Hackamore Bridles.
3 Leg Wraps

The July 1st Update brought back the Cloud Kingdom and several Jorvik Wild Horses. 

The Cloud Kingdom is the same as last year. Only new thing is new rainbow tack & clothes. Last year's rainbow tack & clothes from the Rainbow Festival is now in the shop as well.

The Jorvik Wild Horses that are back are the Shire models (Orange-Purple, Pastel Rainbow, Golden, Brown-Green, Blue-Black, and White-Pink) and the Icelandic models (Blue, Black-Red, and Purple). They are here until July 15th. 

Lastly an update on my Soul Riding progress: I made it to the 9000 mark on today, July 1st. I should have the horse sometime in August, maybe September at the latest. I currently only have Dragon, Summer and Night left to train to the maximum. My logic has been Train horse to level 11 with normal races then do druid training with it.

SPOILER ALERT! The Next Jorvik Wild Horse!

Star Stable released concept art for the next Jorvik Wild Horse! 
View the concept art here: https://www.instagram.com/p/canxmdsbgyl/

It's a seahorse, or what some are calling a Seashell Horse. I'm still looking for confirmation on the name. 

Now here's when I think it will release. 
I think it will come for the annual Midsummer Festival.
Midsummer happens every year in June.
This year if I'm correct it will start Wednesday, June 17th. The Sakura & Birch JWH came the second week of the festival last year, so the so-called "Seashell Horses" should come Wednesday, June 24th. The horses last year stayed for 4 weeks. 

From what people are guessing the horses will be between 650-850 SC, unless they have an unknown special move.  

The colors are Pearl (the reddish tinted one, supposedly the pearlino Akhal-Teke) and the blue tinted does not have a color name yet. 

My opinion: They are definitely a little odd and creepy in the concept art, but I'm saving up so if the blue one looks not creepy once we know it's look in game I will buy it. Otherwise I'll probably skip it like I did Sakura & Birch. 

So start saving up, my friends, if you want the horses! 

And stay tuned for a post of Ocean themed names for them.
