Star Stable Online Etc

Recently Star Stable announced the addition of a new zone, Epona. Here are screenshots of their news post about it. It looks super cute and I'm very excited for some real content updates (long awaited, I might add). I rode to The Harvest Counties and went to the boundaries of where Epona will be. From these photos you can just barely see what lies beyond the fence. I can't wait for more quests to do!  (Finally!) What about Epona makes you excited?

Today I logged in for the first time in what feels like forever (but must not have been that long, because I only gained 400 SC in my absence).  I had checked the News  page and wanted to see the new Morgans.  I was not disappointed.  They're gorgeous! Here are some screenshots. While they are similar in appearance to the AQHs, they do not have the same animations for their movements. I absolutely love the one that almost looks like an Akhal-Teke, with very fair palomino-esque coloring.  I think I'm going to buy one and name her something with a Star in it. Also, make sure you check out the new quests from Tim, but look out for that race, as it sure is tricky! Thanks for reading and Happy Trails! ~*Veronika Starstorm*~

This week we had an interesting update for Valentine's Day. With it came three new horses: A gray Morab a Morgan and a Selle Francais Have I ever told you I'm a sucker for gray horses?  I may even end up getting a gray horse in real life!  I still want the Oldenburg that costs a ridiculous amount for a standard model horse (890 I think) because I just love it's gray-almost-blue-roan coloring, but I can't justify paying that much for a horse with the old model.  I've gotten too attached to the nicer graphics the new models have. This new update gives us a bunch of new quests and dailies to work on through the weekend.  Catherine the baker over in Jarlaheim and Donald the tailor in Silverglade both need our help to prepare for Valentine's Day.  (I'd say they're a bit late on preparations, as it's tomorrow, but I'm always willing to help out someone for our mutual benefit.) These quests are a bit different from the norm.  Inste...

I logged in today, as I generally do every day, after checking the news section of Star Stable's website.  While I'm overall pleased with the fact that they keep small updates coming, this update was so small it was hardly large enough to be called an update!  One quest was added: a package got lost on the road between Wolf's Hall Inn and greater Jarlaheim, and you have to find it and return it to the owner.  The package is a pair of new glasses for the NPC who gives you the daily quests in Jarlaheim and whose name I cannot remember right now.  (It's okay, he always forgets my name, too, as he surely does yours, as well!)  The touted reward for said quest is his old pair of glasses, which have their own bit of charm as they're huge on any character's face and may have a slight bit of hipster appeal.  The rest of the update was an addition to Zed [the rocker]'s shop, with some tack and leg wraps with a black and periwinkle flame pattern.  I bought the l...

Today is Wednesday, April 23rd and it's finally the day of the new content release. This weekend I noticed that Alex in Silverglade has a new quest available - if you have the rep: Presumably this requires maximum rep with the Lightning Circle, something I'm still quite far from. Thankfully, the new quests featuring Starshine and Lisa do not require that rep. The quests begin with Starshine, who is running around Greendale (the area you have to run from when you come over the bridge into the Harvest Counties).  Once you catch up to him (he moves rather fast) you have to listen to his story, which takes awhile, and eventually he will tell you to meet him at the Gray Mist Mountains (I think it's called) which is somewhere near the Unfortunate Dews Farm, in that giant unused area.   I believe you have to be at least level 14, possibly 15, and have to have finished the rest of the story quests, to be able to start these.   This is an expansion of the actual storyl...

Today in Star Stable we received a small update involving Zed, the mysterious dark-haired stranger who showed up in Jarlaheim recently.  He needs help setting up a punk rock shop that will hopefully be selling items with lots of additional riding stats that actually look cool.  The first day of quests for him ends with his girlfriend, who is making t-shirts and needed ink from Fort Pinta.  She said it will take a day for the ink to dry and to come back tomorrow. Today, I met someone awesome: Lilly Moonfall of  http://lillymoonfallsadventures.weebly.com/ She suggested I make a Facebook for my character, so I did that and also created a public page for my blog. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Veronika-Starstorm-of-SSO-Etc/676245825750751 (I think Facebook took away the ability to make a custom url until you have x amount of followers, so I believe that's the link for it for now.) If you have any submissions for pictures of in-game pets, you can comment on ...

I did end up splurging and purchasing the 'grullo' horse, naming him Thundersoul (a name I'm still not sure about). While doing the new quests for the pet shop girl, Amelia, I decided to venture into the store and see if she really did have new cats for sale.  I don't know how long these have been there, but there are new 'toygers' available there!  There is one that's orange for 89 star coins and a silver one for 159 star coins.  I'm really curious to see what they look like, but can only afford one for the next few weeks.  I have exactly 89 star coins right now, so I can afford the orange but would have to wait awhile to be able to buy the silver if I decide I want that one - or I can wait until Saturday and buy the silver one then.  I was planning on buying the blue checkered leg wraps available through the Goldspur rep vendor on Saturday, but I don't know if I can resist a toyger!   (No toygers playing with the other ki...
