Today's update brought us 3 new horses. It was quite a small update but we did get some quests last week so I'm not too fussed. (Plus there were some Horse Market stuff.) The community has been screaming about these new horses, so let's go and have a look. The first horse I saw was the grey American Paint Horse. I really liked the texture of the grey patches but I’m not so keen on the overall look. I feel like the white and grey clash a bit and give a slightly ugly look but I really don’t like the new models of the APH so I’m not really one to give the best opinion on it as I hate the body shape in general as well as the pattern. 4.8 / 10 I think that this cutie was my favourite out of the new horses. I loved the simple black and white which I think always looks nice together. I loved the random white patches and the patches on the mane (which you can’t really see from this photo) I think looked lovely. I also love his little socks. If I was being fussy (which I am) I’d like there to be more white at the front and maybe on his face - but overall I really like him. 7.6 / 10 Finally, I traipsed to DV to look at the Fjord. I don’t like the main body colour that much but it isn’t awful. I do like the colour of the mane and the colour of his lower leg. However, I don’t like the way that the colour goes lighter and then darker again the it’s fading from dark brown to light. I really like his muzzle and I like the white stripe thing there. However, I think he’d quite similar to the other Fjords. He’s ok. 6.6 / 10 Overall, I thought that the Icelandic was cute and then the Fjord was ok. I know some people love the APH but really not me! I haven’t brought any of them because none are calling me for a hug so not today. What did you think of the horses?

Today’s update gave us some more quests in New Hillcrest with Jamie the baker. It’s about time! I filmed the quests which I will edit and upload at some point because I think it’s easier to show the quests that way rather than over my blog. I will talk about the quests here however. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the quest animations. When putting out a fie we just stood there, I thought we were past that. Also, we pretty much just collected, filled up and delivered milk and then sorted out a burned pie and delivered that. So it wasn’t too exciting but it did give XP! I’m now 45 xp off level 20 but there’s a new faction + new dailies and a rep quest that I’ll be able to finish soon and hopefully, hopefully, hopefully get to that level 20. To match the new faction we also got 2 new shops. One is awesome with food and cutlery which you can place in your brand new brown love heart saddle bag from the shop. I didn’t get any photos from that one but I did get some of the other shop! I don’t think they’re my kind of clothes but quite nice! And finally, you can now feed your horse bread. Yes…bread…
A bit late but here is the Valentines day update! It came with the normal 2 quests with Catherine and Donald. We also had a brand new race which I think is awesome. You have to do it with your friends and completing it gets you a heart which you can swap for clothes (I guess, I didn't have time to do it properly). The race was truly amazing. It had 2 jumps which I loved and I wish that SSO introduced into the game normally. The update also came with slight adjustments to some races plus the clearing of ML arena. I think that this really does make ML look a lot nicer and it gives the lower levels an arena to do things like dressage in. For me though the biggest achievement today was editing and filming my first "proper" long video. I hope you like it! The pigs are back! Some people are annoyed that it's a small update but we can't expect a big one every week and it wasn't that bad last week plus we have the new phone app so chill people - chill. Let's take a look at the new pigs, (sorry for bad quality, I'm yet to work out how to do it well). I won't be getting one as the only affordable one is the yellow one which i don't like plus I do already have one! But I mean 400 star coins for something more worthless than clothes? It's just not happening.
What do you think of the price of pets? And so here are the Jorvik Wild Horses, back to this side of the mountains! They look so lovely, their natural colours are just a beautiful as their magic ones. I really couldn’t choose but I didn’t want to get them all so I decided buy the pink one (I’m not a fan of hot pink but the natural colouring is to die for), on my alt the blue one and my sister will get the green one. So I can enjoy them all! I actually love the colouring for both natural and magic for the pink and green ones but I don’t like the blues natural colour as it’s too “blocked”. However, blue is my favourite colour so it’s all good. I’m not such a fan of the body shape because I don’t like shires and these horses have the shires build with a squashed face. But they are magic so I suppose that makes up for it! I’ll love photos of the horses in game on my Instagram. But for now here are the photos on the game news. The SSO news is here and we can finally see the episode that Stacy Place has been getting us all hyped for. I actually hate this hat, oh dear. Are you going to enter the competition? It’s quite a clever way of advertising but I’m not sure I’ll be getting involved. So I've finally finished playing through the new quests! I quite enjoyed them, nothing particularly amazing but the spy quests were still quite cool (I would have liked it more if the spy agency was real. I thought that they were decent mini quests. None of them have much of a thrilling story line to continue but still they were quite cool. Warning: this may contain spoilers about the most recent update of SSO That sounds awesome Anni! I'll go get some boxes and put them by your stall. Oh, sticking up posters would be helpful, okay then. These are some of the best posters I've seen. Walking around with a beanie to show people? That sounds like a fun job. Why thank you, Anni even gave it to me as thanks for helping out! Pigeon quests I'll put a bit of bird seed out for them. Pigeons are so greedy that they'll be all over the place in seconds! So I need to clean up the bird poo now? Ok then. And you want ME to scare them all away. Wow. Great. Bye birds! Lost friend quests Yes yes. You want me to waste my time finding your friends. Ok then. Here you are, the ice cream parlor. I need to go and find your friend. She's over here. I hope you have a good lunch! Spy quests What? She isn't doing anything, just walking around. What are you even doing? You're a Jorvik protector - cool! Of course I do, so spill. Um... So you're self commissioned? So basically ... you're fake. Oh well I'll do your spy training course anyway (I don't need it, I have got into Dark Core 3 times without being detected). Done! Sure ok. But I don't think anyone would waste their times selling ice cream recipes on the black market. She's not doing anything. If I can't find any other evidence then she's innocent. Nothing is here, she's innocent! Yay, all done. I thought they were short but quite fun, livened my day up! As I climb on Wednesdays I never have time to do the quests and write about them, but I'll do that tomorrow. So today's update looks amazing. We have 4 new quest lines to do. This first is to help Annis set up a brand new beanie hat stop. I expect these quests will be short but the hats look amazing! I think I'm going to buy quite a few because they look so nice, more about that tomorrow. The next quests were feeding the pigeons, dull but involves xp so it's awesome! Remember that girl Sienna I blogged about? Well it turns out she's waiting for some friends, but they never appeared. The final quest is something more interesting. There's been a spy at the ice cream parlor, I wonder why?
It looks like quite a nice week, I'm going to log on now and play through at least some of the quests. What did you think of the update? People have been waiting for it for ages, there have been many Instagram posts screaming about it, Jaharla is finally here! I must admit, I wasn't one of the people screaming as I don't tend to buy tack that often since I just stick to the different colour sets that I currently have. No, I was way more excited for the quests as all of my friends have reaches level 20 and I'm so close - yet so far. To start these quests you must have helped Mandy find her step sister and then all you have to do is talk to Julie! Spoiler warning: this may contain spoilers about the most recent update of Star Stable Oh of course, Jaharla I knew what that was I just... forgot (not). Anyway it sounds interesting and I've been ill all day and I can't sleep anymore, so why not. Race you there! How lucky, the bus is here already. I better run to get on it else I'll miss it. Broom broom! Nice to see you Mandy! It's awesome to see that you're getting into riding. I think Julie would love to spend more time with you if you joined the Bobcats. I think it's great that you think it's time you got yourself tack, it means you must have improved so much since we last met! Yay, let's go. Oh... Who's this...? What happened? The birds stole your key. Well that's hard to fix (!). Which tree? The one by the ice cream parlor? Oh that's easy to sort. Found the keys. Here they are. You'll give me the honor of opening the doors. Because I've never done that before (!). (This whole island seems incapable or too lazy to open their own doors and fetch their own things. Honestly, and most of them are adults.) Nice, and you got me a thank you gift? I didn't actually do anything but thank you anyway! Now it's time to look at the actually clothes in question! The upper tack set is my favorite as I don't like the mix of colours in the second set. In the first set I love the colours and textures, I also like the gold emblem thing on the saddle. I'm not so keen on the bridle as it has random red patches, and I'd rather that the different colours were on the different 'straps'. On the second piece I love the colour s and pattern on the bridle and saddle. I like how it looks "formal casual". I also like the studding. I wish that the studding on the pad was smaller and I'm not a fan of the colour, but the overall texture and style is amazing! I also like the little horse in the corner. I quite liked the shop but I wish they put a bit more in there to start off since it is meant to be the best tack in Jorvik. However, it was decent. Also, Matilda and Games Master Ylva are finally back with the Star Stable Show! I love the use of the stickers in this, but I will have to wait and see before I vote on the hat!
All in all, this was a decent update. Nothing too big but just enough quests and new things to keep us going. I really want new story quests though! // Thank you very much to everyone who sent me well wishes. I'm feeling 100 times better and I should be almost back to normal by tomorrow! What do you mean I’m going to trigger a migraine because I’m still up? Ok I should sleep but I wanted to type about the update. It’s so inconvenient having climbing on Wednesdays! The snow in Jorvik melted away with Christmas this year, but it’s okay because it’s time for the Christmas clean up. I’m close to level 20 but I won’t get there this week. I miss the snow and wish it had stayed longer. However, I’m happy that I can do the Fort Pinta races with James and the other clean up quests including the last present. Also the porridge man is back and he gave me a nice blue hat, thanks! Bed time for me, I need to get better at sleeping. Night!
For those of you who follow my Instagram (@lisilentland) you'll know that last night I called it right! The update was brand new Mustang modles. We haven't got the nail bar, new story quests or racing bonuses yet; all of which were promissed in 2016. I hope these come out soon because I am looking forward to them. Let's take a peek at these Mustangs! I really liked the mustang breed and I do like the new colours. WIth the grey however, it's the normal complant: it's too samey. I feel like I prefer more of a pattern on greys (although this one does have a few spots). With expection to the spotty one, the legs seem rushed and in blocky colours and so does the shading. However, I really like the effect of white and brown on the brown one, and I like the spots, I just wish it was blended better together. I can see why the spotty one is the favourite of my club Frosty Roses (which you could follow on @frosty.roses). I pretty like the overall pattern but it's my normal complaint about the colour of the mane as in place it literally just suddenly turns grey? It also does this at the bottom of the tail. I think that my favourite is the spotty, followed by the brown and then finally the grey. Overall: 6.7/10 As normal, Star Stable introduced some beautiful new clothes and tack to Jorvik City Mall. Let's take a look! The clothes at the moment are honestly so beautiful. I love the top as it's something I would wear in real life riding (although only on a hack or floorwork). It's such a nice shade of brown which is easy to work into an outfit. I do think that it's not really suited to Winter so this one will have to wait for my Spring shop before I bring it home! Although I like the trousers, I feel tht quite a few very similar things have been coming out reccently. However, they are still really nice! The boots have a lovely pattern but remain looking realistic. It's a yes from me! Finally the hat can be described in one way - stylish. I really like the beeds for show as they look nice whilst keeping it looking like something you could actually wear out riding.
Moving onto the tack. I am not so sure of the mix in blue and brown, but I love the styles of them both. I'm 99% sure that the saddle is a Western saddle and then the bridle is an English bridle? I'm not so sure about wearing these together. The saddle pad is perfect for riding out in the Winter, it looks cosy while fitting into many outfits. The same goes for the boots, perfect for Winter riding in style and warmth. There we are, my opinions on the update. What did you like about the new horses? Also, Madam Asp and Jollisters in Governors Falls have stocked up with some new clothes. I really like these clothes and I’m so tempted to buy everything apart from the middle and furthest right tops. I’m always looking for a new pair of black trousers as I use them as a base for every outfit and I love the texture and details on the grey ones. I also love the details on the helmet as well as how realistic it looks! Since I love things with more then one piece of clothing involved, another one of my favourite things is the checked top and the matching hat. I love the light brown boots as I love the style and I love the textures! And finally, snow has come to Jorvik! I like this because it means that it is here for FRs Christmas week next week. I must go and get ready for climbing.
What did you think of the update? In Jorvik City there are quite a few shops (almost all for the rider) that sell clothes. These are brand new clothes and most of the shops are in the mall kind of style meaning that there is plenty of room for lots of items to be added in the future. There is one clothes shop in Aideen's Plaza but the rest are at Governor's falls! There's so many nice pieces of clothing here that I could't write about them all, so I will pick out from favourites. I really like the purple gloves, They are quite a nautral colour and could therefore fit into an outfit with purple as the base, overtone or undertone. I also like the yellow cardigan. I like the details of the hem and the buttons. I also love the texture as it reminds me of something that is crochated. I love all of the shirts with top things over the top. I think it would make a lovely club uniform as it has that smart-but-not-too-smart look about it. I love the black. dark coloured boots simply because I love the laces detail and it would match with a lot of outfits for the same reason as the purple gloves (they would be great together). Finally, I love the denim shots because I love the details on them and I was looking for something just like this in Summer, better late then never!
I love these clothes but I don't get how SSO designed 23 new pieces of clothing plus the new saddle bag shop on top of the new area. I wish they'd spent that time on expanding the area for the realise but oh well, I still like them! I will post some of the quests tomorrow with another post as well because I feel like JC things must been everywhere and getting boring! It's time to do the Jorvik City quests! I will do a seperate post with the Madison quests and of course expect the home stable and clothes posts later on. Warning: this may contain spoilers of the most reccent update of Star Stable Online. Oh, poor Janitor. He feels unvalued. I'll get him some chocolate hearts to take there. Me? Actually, I don't mind. It's my first to going to Jorvik City! It looks like there are a lot of areas in there to be released soon. Hello Iris! Yes, it is very nice of him. Very very nice of him... You want to go on a date? Where? Where's that? Thank you! But I see a cross women, I should go and see what's up first. No! It wasn't me! If I clear that up will you think I'm inncoent? Good because I hate false accusations. Paint? Um, thank you, I guess. (What could I possibley use it for?) What's all of this noise? I'm Li. And what's wrong. All of this noise because you can't get a sofa into the house. Wow, even FR is more mature then this... Honestly, do people think I need furniture? I can't get any of it into my home stable! Okay I'm going to get on the tram. Oh, sorry. I'm Li by the way, you must be Harry? What does that mean? Okay! It looks pretty clean to me, I'll go and show Harry. Okay. I wish I could eat that ice cream... Okay, fine! Nice jacket, don't you think? Everyone is going on about Pier 13 so I think I might just check it out... Is this really the place for a fisherman? Okay I'll do it (I keep falling into the mucky water, yuck). So it was built way a French man and all of the parts were air lifted in my a zeppalin? Wow! Fine, I'll help you and your 'bad back'. Zwölf is Ze Wolf! Sorry, I can't take that name seriously! Well I don't get a choice!
I loved some of the animations in these quests, they were really good! I think these quests were more to help people exlore the new area and learn their way around. It's still pretty cool and I liked it! It’s here, Jorvik City is here! There’s so much to write about, quests, area, new things, home stable furniture. But I climb on Wednesday so I recorded the quests but haven’t blogged about them or the clothes yet, that’s my plan for tomorrow. Tomorrow I will also expand on the home stable furniture since you get it through quests it will fit best there. Today I will jus talk about all three of the areas inside the City and use the captions to take you through them. But before I start I’d like to say a few things, First SSO has improved so much over the years. There are so many awesome things in their new area. I really like that. However, I have two complaints. First you can’t take your horse. It’s the horse game and you horse stays lonely at FP? Also it is a ‘closed’ map. This means that you cannot run around all of it and you have to virtually travel between them. Click on an image to see my view on it! I feel like that is the posh place in town where people who want a slightly quiter version on town life live. It's my favourite of the 3 places. Now, let's move onto Governors Falls (intesting name). There's so much to happen around this area, this is certainly the centre of town! Moving onto misterious Pier 13... There are so many potentional quests to happen here, I can't wait!
Overall: The new area is very realistic and has a lot of future updates with the opening of Jollisters, DC, and many quests with everyone we haven't met yet from the guy on his phone to the dance class. I wish that it was bigger but I understand that with this much detail and new code it must have taken a very long time. I hope that we get Star Acadmey type quests soon as well as main story quests with Dark Core. I would also like some of the areas in the city to be opened up over time, but still quite frequently. I am most excited to visit the museum as I hope that you can learn about Jorvik's history there. A mssive thank you to the SSO team for this amazing area. Also they mentioned a treat in FP? It was some presents that you put in your saddle bag. I thought that it was a really cute area and the presents weren't too expensive so I got all three: I am so so so happy! Things are so good! I’m actually not going to post a load of photo because it isn’t needed.I love the new home stables apart from the fact that some of the rooms are bare. I hope you will eventually get to choose some furniture. As for upgrades, I’m keeping with just 12 places. I will make 4/6 of those spaces permanent for horses I ride regularly and the rest I will swap each day to allow each horse to have time in the home stable. I will choose 4/6 stalls all together somewhere s the permanent spots and I will post more when I have figured out where.
I love the stalls the most. Each horse has it’s own space and a hay net with food. If the home stables are like this, what will the new area be like? Talking about this new area… Jorvik City is coming next week! I can’t wait! The most of Jorvik City we have seen before is the school, mall and museum, so this is uncharted territory. I am very excited and I can not wait for the trailer. Big things have happened today but it cannot go public until Sunday, so you’ll have to see then. Night! I told you that it would be called meet the mustangs! The update took a while so my plans of getting it written before I went out climbing went down the plug hole! However, while on a very hard piece of the balance wall, I was planning this blog post and suddenly found my Dad cheering as I was nearly at the top! But first, about the mustangs: ★ What's the new breed? The fierce Mustang! ★ Where can I get them? You’ll find them at Marley’s Farm in Silverglade. ★ How much do they cost? 969 Star Coins. ★ What level do I have to be? You can purchase these handsome fellas from level 7! ★ Do I need to crunch reputation? No reputation crunching needed! ★ What colors can I choose from? Black, bay and a brown pinto. ★ How do I get the horse to buck? Like the Lipi, the Mustang has its own special movement! Simply mount your Mustang, stand still and hit “space” on your keyboard to turn your calm companion into a bucking bronco! I really like the brown one and the pinto. Some people were complaining about their face shape, with is odd but kind of cute! Others were complaining that it was too matt but since I spend all my time complaining about them being too shiny, I was fine. I am not so keen on the black as the many blends into the body, also it is too black with no blaze or pattern to brake it up. I was a bit worried about their manes, but they look really nice if you purchase a new one. So yes, I got the pinta on and called it Westchip aka Chip and I then made my sister care for all of my horses in return for me going on hers and buying a brown one! I really like the buck and here as some photos of myself and Chip! #MustangMadness New clothes also game out today along with the brand new graphics! I really liked the new clothes as they had the style of newer ones while still being realistic. They are perfect for the riding lessons that I run and I can’t choose a favourite - I want them all. But I can say that the brown jacket and helmet and the blue helmet are my favourites. My sister got the hat and while we were admiring it we also saw the brand new graphics which included brushing your leg and turning your head!
Happy update day! There was a small debate in the club this morning to whether home stables were this week or on the 30th. I wasn’t sure and now I know that the brand new home stables will be coming out on the 30th. I am very excited and Star Stable released a sneak peak but first let’s look at the two main new features, shadows and 12 buckets. I think the shadows are really pretty and I was wondering if they would ever update them! I love the detail such as if you change clothing, the shadow changes also. The 12 buckets are certainly going to help me with the “No stable care” challenge that I want to try. There will of course be 12 because of the 12 horses in the brand new home stables. I am not that excited about these new clothes, but I think the orange and black top will make excellent club uniform for any club that wants to be orange! I also quite like the hat but for the others I either don’t like the colours or the style, fussy me. Newscaster Alva hosted Jorvik news again, this time we saw the brand new home stables. I love them so so much and I am super excited! I am wondering if they will be in a new place because the home stables was opening out onto a different place then the normal home stables opens out, but that could have been just for the demo. Some people have been getting annoyed because SSO hasn’t released home stables this week, but they never promised that they would so chill out and let SSO work on all the amazing things they have planned instead of dealing with hate, thanks.
Today I was out climbing so it was just a quick glance of the update on the news page. It was my first time climbing and I have my first blister! (I am proud of it, okay?) Today we welcomed 3 new horses to Jorvik and some new clothes to the mall. Out of these three, my favourite is the bay Lipizzan as that is my favourite breed and I really like the softer colours. I am not a fan of the block colour horses but the white fades nicely into grey around the nose and feet and on the black it fades into brown. This gives the horses a less cartoon look. I really like the Sports Horse’s mane as it is a mix of shades so the white almost looks like it is glowing! The normal complaint is the muscles. Look at horses in real life, they do not look like that! This is worst on the lighter Sports. I really did like the clothes! I can see that if you buy them all (plus a brown beanie) you could have any top (although not the brown trousers with the brown top) with any pair of hat and pants! I really and tempted to do that as I love the trouser design and the design of the pink and blue tops. It is just so detailed and such a normal thing to wear. The final thing that happened with Wednesday update was the brand new Star Stable News, hosted by GM Ylva. I enjoyed the way that it was set out like a proper news report, but if you read the bottom you’ll see that nothing on Jorvik can be too serious!
It’s another Friday and this week Star Stable released a fashion market! It is a bit like the Horse Market but it contains clothes instead of horses. Quite a lot of people were getting annoyed about how small the update was but I think people should get used to the fact that at the end of the year the updates get smaller due to the fact that lots of big things are coming out. A new area, story quests and home stables. I think it is quite a cool addition and I really liked the clothes. Also I noticed two girls sitting on the fence and earlier today I was looking through Star Stable comics and I got I little bit inspired… Check out my blog on Friday! Now let's go and look at clothes. Out of all the bits and pieces around I took the red hoodie and the Autumn top home. The red hoodie looked super cute and had good stats and the Autumn top was very cheep. I managed to buy it all with the Jorvik Shillings I had earned with the apple bobbing. I quite liked the update today.
What did you think? I think I can describe todays update in one word: frogs. That’s right, they’ve added frogs to the game! I found them rather ricky to locate but if you follow the road from Crescent Moon to New Hillcrest through the marsh then you should come across her. I really like the way that Star Stable have started releasing new types of animals. When I first joined it was just dogs, cats and rabbits. Now you can buy dogs, cats, rabbits, seals, pigs and frogs! I own one of each. You can tell that a bigger update is coming as this Halloween they didn’t make new quests and recently updates like this have been quite small. These are the three frogs and they cost 29, 69 and 199 star coins. I like the green and blue ones as I like their little spots but I think the blue-green one is rushed and looks too pasticy for my taste. I also like the animations as they seem to dance in their bags and they stick their tongues out which is cute.
However, I decided to buy Riata the blue one. Rib-ribit ribby ribit. That's welcome home Riata in froggish! |
