Star Stable Online Etc

Heya StarFam, what’s up? I just finished finding all the mini-donkeys added on Wednesday’s update, thanks in large part to Minatozy’s video (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuW1lZiOE-g ) Because she already made such a great guide, I’d like to offer a different approach. Her video showed the donkeys in the order they’re listed in the journal. I’m going to show you the best route to take to waste the least amount of time. Read first : All listed coordinates are in x, y format. You can view coordinates by opening your in-game map and moving your mouse pointer over different areas of the map. The coordinates are listed above the description in the tooltip above your mouse pointer, in white font. (Some areas will say the name of the area [like The Forgotten Fields] next to the coordinates. Some won’t.) It will also show your current coordinates in the bottom right side of your map. It doesn’t show them on the minimap. If you left-mouse click on an area of the map, it will creat...

Despite the arrangement of my title, I'm going to start off this post discussing today's Pandoric Rifts.  As many of you know, Star Stable has a daily schedule for daily quests and the rifts are the main end-game daily.  Every Tuesday the Pandoric Rifts are located in the same exact spots.  Well, while doing mine today I realized that the assistance I usually receive from SSO Ridethrough  is a tiny bit confusing in this instance, so I've decided to post a screenshot that shows exactly where the hidden rift is. This is the one closest to Valedale on Tuesdays but it's a bit off the beaten path. I've been casually playing while trying to do my daily rifts, in the hopes of getting my reputation with the Lightning Circle high enough to take part in the new content on the 23rd.  I haven't been playing that much, mostly because I've been preoccupied with life, but I've also started playing another game that takes up very little time - Flight Rising . ...

Thanks to the help of a new friend, I was able to find some more letters. The letter in The Harvest Counties was near the Goldspur Farm, in the paddock with the horses. I found a letter in Valedale that was right in front of the clothing merchant (although locations tend to differ from person to person). There's a letter near the Jarl's Tomb, right before Fort Pinta.   The final one that I've found was in Fort Pinta, near the salon next to the disco. There is supposedly a total of nine, so this should be all of them! Thanks for reading and happy trails! This is what it shows when you find the last one and turn it in. There's no need to go back to Derek after you've completed this.  He does not give a followup quest.

Unfortunately for some of you, these letters can be found in Golden Hills Valley (GHV for short) and this location doesn't open up until around level 13. The first one I found here was along the path heading to Cape West Fishing Village, and the second was in the village itself. So far these are the only two I've found here, adding up to five total letters found so far. As of yet, I have not come across any in The Harvest Counties, but I know I am still missing four, at least two of which are probably there. Let me know if you find any more! Thanks for reading and happy trails!

After some more searching I had some better luck.  The first letter I came across was on Moorland Beach. Unfortunately, this photo got cropped, but you can see the coordinates down at the bottom and also what the letter looks like when you get close to it. After finding this one I decided to go back to the Silverglade Castle and try again.  Instead of looking near and beneath the bridge, I went up on the grassy platform behind the castle and was able to find it there. This next screenshot got so messed up when I copied it into Paint that you can barely see what I'm trying to show you, but it is of the Nilmer's Highland letter, near the abandoned house. As you can see, it calls that letter number 9, which is the current total amount of letters.  I'm not sure what the numbers of the other ones are, but I'm willing to bet the one near the castle is the first one, as that is the first location we are told to check. When I gave the Baroness he...

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I'm totally stumped on this letter quest (day two).  I can't even find the first one near the Silverglade Castle. I can, however, show you what it looks like when you are both nearing and leaving an area containing a card, as I've done that a bunch of times. And check out my newest horse, Stormborn! I love him!  He's the dappled gray Arabian available in Firgrove. (Sorry it's so dark right now.) Anyway, if anyone has any info, advice, pointers, tips, etc on finding these Valentine's Day letters I'd appreciate it.  I'm going to search the SSO Facebook page to see if I can find any hints there. Thanks for reading and happy trails!

For those of us who have trouble memorizing in-game locations after viewing vague imagery for only a few seconds, I've created this guide to the 'Stars Over the Field' daily quest given by Mario at the Observatory for A.A.E. reputation. Each day has a different set of three locations for the stars that have fallen. This is Tuesday's set: Star Stone 1 (as viewed from the telescope) (as viewed close up) Star Stone 2 (from telescope) (close-up) Star Stone 3 (from telescope) (close-up) I'm going to try to compile all of my locations into one post and will have that as a link on the side, hopefully soon. Thanks for reading and happy trails! 

As promised, here is my Wednesday 'Stars Over the Field' work. Mario at the Observatory gives this quest, which awards 90 reputation points with A.A.E. Today, Star Stone 1 was in the ditch near the Midsummer bonfire. Here is the screenshot of the view from the telescope: Here is a screenshot of the view facing the bonfire, with my map open to show you where to find it: This is what it looks like when you are facing towards the ditch.  You can see the hot air balloons and the gondola. Star stone 2 was near the pump and watershed for the winery today. Here is the view from the telescope: This is what it looks like when you ride up to it from the Observatory:  This is how it appears if you turn around and face the Observatory: Star stone 3 was along the West Jorvik Highway today. Here is the view from the telescope: This is the view facing the Observatory: This is an older shot of the same stone facing Silverglade Village: I h...

Yesterday I didn't have the opportunity to play too much, but hopefully today I will and maybe even be able to give some better screenshots of Mario's dailies!  I believe each daily, like with fishing , is determined by the day of the week, so maybe I'll be able to break that down better.

Apparently today was a really good day to invest some time in the dailies that Mario offers at the Observatory.  I believe every daily quest possible was available today, with each one (with the exception of the race) giving 90 reputation points. I'm not sure, but I think the 'Stars Over the Field' quest has different locations based on the day of the week. Here are the locations today: Star Stone 1 was located near the druid stone near the Mill Hill of Will (the windmill). Here's a screenshot of what it looks like midday: And midday through the telescope: Star Stone 2 was in a location I don't think I've covered yet, in the hills to the East of the Observatory. Screenshot of the view from the telescope: Screenshot of the closeup view with the map included: Star Stone 3 was located near the pumps and small building just North of the Oil Field. I believe I've included a screenshot of this location before, but here it is ag...

Oi!  I just finished encountering something of an error that really threw a wrench in my plans for the day.  The following is the comment regarding this error that I put on ssoridethrough.com on the section for hidden quests: "I don't know if I'm the only one who has experienced this, but an interesting thing happened to me during the hidden chest in Golden Hills quest.  Yesterday I had to chase Bob around after he fell into the water, and so today I had to use a boat to get to an otherwise inaccessible portion of the shore.  When I found the hidden chest, I first got a shovel from Jasper, and then needed to get a crowbar.  Rob is no longer at the old smuggler's cave, so I had to track him down in his new location to borrow his crowbar, at which point I'm told to open the chest.  At first I didn't read it properly and, after noticing that the chest was no longer in my bag, went to the location I had originally found the chest.  (My unorthodox method ...

This post is intended to help those who are stuck or lost on the 'Stars Over the Field' daily quest offered by Mario at the Observatory.  He tells you there are three stars that fell overnight, and then shows you through the telescope where they fell, but does not mark these locations on your map.  In order to review the locations, you must ride all the way back to the Observatory and check the telescope again. I've taken screenshots of the view through the telescope as well as the close-up view with my map included in the photo, in order to better show the location. Star Stone between boulders: Star Stone near ditch: It may be helpful at this time to mention that it is a little ways away from the bonfire for Midsummer Festival. Star Stone near the Baroness' race track: This one is really easy, so easy that I forgot to include a map picture.  It's right next to the gondola and construction area as soon as you come down from ...
