Jorvik Star Issue 10: January

 ★Jorvik Star★

Issue 10 ★ January 

A Note From the Writer/Editor:

Again I have failed to write every week. I am thinking I will switch to a monthly news post for now. However if there's major news updates I will post that week for sure. I am excited to see what 2021 brings for SSO. This year my goal is focusing on saving up my starcoins so getting horses will be easier and only buying clothes and tack with Jorvik Shillings. Recently I organized my storage by color also instead of by type, with the exception on holiday/seasonal, stuff I will never wear, and face accessories. I still need to organize my tack though. Without further ado, here's this month's news recap for this month.

 My Review of the Heidrun

I have been riding my Heidrun, named Gingersnap, since I got him. I really like the mane on this horse. I haven't found anything about it that I don't like. 

My Thoughts on Mistfall the Series

I have only watched the first episode so far but I really enjoy it. I think it's because Skye reminds me a lot of Lisa Peterson, my favorite of the Soul Riders. I really enjoyed it so far and plan to watch the entire series. 

The Newest Jorvik Rangers Quest

Recently we got a new quest in Wild Woods about the mysterious past of the Jorvik Rangers, urban folklore that only the Jorvik Rangers know about. 

You begin by helping Rowan to build a campfire, and are rewarded with a fun campfire story and a Jorvik Rangers Shirt, which the shirt is fun for camping or Jorvik Rangers themed Roleplays. 

*To do this quest, you must be a Star Rider, at least Level 16, and reached the Liked reputation with the Jorvik Rangers: Redwood Point and have completed the quest where you meet the New Jorvik Rangers.*

Skye Outfit Now in Shop

Be sure to check out the shop by the rangers on your way to or from Fort Pinta if you enjoy the series. You can purchase it for Jorvik Shillings or Star Coins. It will only be available until the Wednesday, March 17th Update. 

More Jorvik Friesians Have Arrived!

More Jorvik Friesians have arrived in Jorvik. I have seen people riding them a lot lately, and since I hope to start my own club in the future, I need to get dressage horses soon and determine which ones I'll make for our Dressage horse/horses. With seeing it around, I'd be okay getting one in the future, but I'm focusing on saving up my Star Coins for new Magic Horses or Limited Time Horses in the future and instead saving up my Jorvik Shillings as well to buy clothes and tack I can use in outfits.

The New Working Equitation Race.

I tried out the new race, and it's definitely tricky on your first try. I restarted the race multiple times until I had the course figured out. I think it's definitely one that requires practice. I enjoy having another unique race to add to my training routine though.

Jorvik Star Issue 8

 ★Jorvik Star★

Issue 8 ★ Week of November 8 - 14

Welcome to Wild Woods

Star Stable has officially opened the North Mistfall area, despite earlier in the year saying there would not be a new area in 2020.

The new area is called Wild Woods. It's a beautiful redwood tree filled forest filled with wildlife, some seen commonly such as rabbits, squirrels, snakes, owls, birds, and spiders, plus possibly bear and deer in the future.

You'll need to have unlocked Mistfall, reached level 16, and have finished the quest of talking to Rania after the elections to start the quest to explore Wild Woods. Just talk to Alonso at the Ranger Station in Mistfall to begin the journey with new rangers Rowan, Nova, Astrid, Tiera, Enitan and Yousef.

While in Wild Woods, you can switch to the new Redwood Point Stable, do stable chores, shop for new Jorvik Rangers gear, enjoy a new photo collection with Brissie the Horse, and enjoy two races, a Show Jumping race you'll unlock in the quests and Orienteering which will unlock after getting enough reputation. 

There's a hot air balloon trailer to help you go to and from Wild Woods. 

SSO has said they will add more to Wild Woods throughout the new few months.

The New Chat Changes

The New Chat Filter should be in testing in all servers now. I'm yet to see it myself as I haven't logged on since Wednesday, but I'll let y'all know my thoughts ASAP!

Coming Next Week...

 "Now when you can go beyond previously known ground, who knows what horses might appear?" - SSO News

I think it's definitely referring to Wild Woods; Perhaps the second batch of Jorvik Wild Horses will be there? Just a guess.

Jorvik Star Issue 4

 ★Jorvik Star★

Issue 4 ★ Week of September 20-26

This Week's Update:

Petunia brought back her show jumping race. You'll find it at Jorvik Stables from now until the September 30th Update.

There's also some new clothes in the Global Store: Some Preppy Back to School Uniforms. 

Farah has some new places to deliver goods to. I noticed this a few days ago but it's official now. Some include Tim at Fort Pinta and Leonardo at his Ice Cream Parlor in Governor's Fall.

SSO's Latest Livestream: 

Star Stable recently had a Livestream which can be found on YouTube (click HERE to watch!) Here's a summary of what they did talk about:

Star Stable Online is officially coming to mobile devices soon! It's coming to iOS/iPhone first. If you are in Australia they are doing closed beta. There's a link to that in the YouTube video description. It's unknown when and if it will be on Android or not yet.

SSO officially said they are working on North Mistfall and plan to open it in parts. The "code name" for the area that's first is Wild Woods. Since SSO said we won't be getting a new area this year, my guess is North Mistfall will probably start to open in the beginning of 2021. 

There was also a redeem code hidden in the Livestream video. It is hidden in the background during the segment about the Soul Riders book and the interview with the author. 

Next Week's Update:

 Next week will be Star Stable Online's 9th Birthday Event. We always get a really unique outfit and pet for the Birthday Event, but I won't give any spoilers to this year's, even though a few YouTube channels have some already.
