Welcome to Epona!
The time has come! Today's the day we get to explore Epona!
The Road to Epona
Herman has long been a key player in the battle against GED, and now he's got some information that can help him take his fight to the next level. This information will lead him (and you) to a new, mysterious GED resistance fighter in an area called Epona, in the southern part of the Harvest Counties. This is Jorvik, so of course the road to Epona isn't an easy one, and you'll be facing a whole host of tricky challenges along the way!
You'll get a text message from Herman telling you how to start the quest!
To do this quest, you'll need to be a Star Rider and have completed the quests where, 1. You help Helga with her family's summer house, 2. You give Herman the GED reports from Ms Drake, and 3. You help Nic Stoneground explore The Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur. You will also need to have 'Friendly' reputation level with the faction GED in Jarlaheim.
Is this the way to Epona?
Meet Ricky...
Poor old Ricky. He's sad. Really sad. He was once one of Jorvik's greatest martial artists, but losing the biggest match of his life has left him super depressed. He's given up. Even when the Bulldogz have given him the exciting job of building their new racetrack, he still can't crack a smile.
Worse still, Ricky's girlfriend has got huge money worries, and is about to lose her stables, making all her horses homeless! Ricky knows he could fix everything for her if he could just get his hands on the prize money at the Jorvik Championships in Jor Jitsu...
Help Ricky realise it's never too late to try again!
Once you've helped Ricky get his confidence back, you can help him train for the championships so that at least there's still a tiny bit of hope left for the stables...
The New Hillcrest Cross Country Race
Once Ricky's back on his feet, you can help him build this fantastic new cross-country racetrack at New Hillcrest. There's a new riding club for you to get to know, and they're even friendly enough to let you ride on their track. For now...
The cross-country racetrack at New Hillcrest!
Horse Gear
If you've got time this week in amongst all the amazing new stuff over in Epona, take yourself on a little shopping trip to the mall where you'll find a bunch of new horse gear and equipment for sale! Hop on the bus!
Unlimited Horse Training!
To celebrate the launch of the new area, we've decided to lift the restrictions on horse training! Now, instead of being limited to just one visit per day to the horse trainer, you can visit as often as you like! The price stays the same, but you can level up forever if you want to!
Also, the horse trainers are now in new locations, and the Tobbe Larsson character is no longer able to train your horse in the game. You'll now find horse trainers at Jorvik Stables, New Hillcrest (in Epona), the Baroness' Winery, and at Marley's Paddock.
Freja and her Kite
Freja could still use your help when it comes to kite-building… Run down to Sunfield Farm to lend a hand if you haven’t already!
Horse Market
The horse market is open this week at the Fishing Village and Eddie and Ferdinand are excited for you to drop by and say hello!
Thanks so much to all our awesome fans and players for your support, you're the absolute greatest, and we hope you have an amazing first week in Epona!
