Who let the donkeys out? (A Star Stable guide to save time!)

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...

Valentine's Day Letters Quest Help - 2015

The line of quests started by Derek in Silverglade Village didn't change much this year, but here is a comprehensive post outlining where I found all of my letters this year. Here are screenshots to show you what you will see on your screen as you near and leave an area with a Valentine's Day letter. This is the first letter, near Silverglade Castle.  Just like last year, I had to go around the hills behind the castle to find it. The rest of these are out of order number-wise but should still give you a good idea of where to look. This one was on Moorland Beach, near the path that leads down towards the fisherman. This one was near Nilmer's Highland, in the area with the trees and brush. This was the hardest to find for me.  It was in Valedale and not anywhere near where I thought it would be.  I had to venture down the beach path to find it. This one was near the Pony Championship person, on the road to Fort Pinta. This was in F...

The Elusive Kallters

It took about 3 days of questing, doing all available quests, for the Kallters to show up in their special spot, as shown here. Note the map in the image for a more detailed view of where they are located, which is outside the giant door up the 'Hidden Road'. It will, unfortunately, take a long time to get my rep up enough with them to be able to buy a Fjord horse, but there are many days of dailies required by the other quest givers in the zone (Nic and Prof. Einstein) so hopefully the time won't feel terribly dreadful. If you have any calculations or notations regarding the rep grind, how long it takes, or have any tips for those of us who have not yet done it, please comment below. Happy Trails... {Edited to add:} The Kallters have you pick up a few different kinds of items that can be turned in for reputation. This is what an item looks like when you come upon one.

Easter - Golden Eggs in Jarlaheim - Harvest Counties

I believe I've found all the golden eggs in Jarlaheim.  Here are their locations, by screenshot and in order that I found them. 1) In Jarlaheim city - located in the second tier, behind the veterinarian and the dirty pets. 2) At Jorvik Stables, behind Herman's house 3) On Paddock Island, top level, behind the house 4) At Wolf's Hall Inn, right as you cross over the bridge, to the left side 5) By Unfortunate Dew's Farm (all the way up and around the path where no one goes) to the side of the stable And that, my fifth egg, contained this: Unfortunately I occasionally forget to hit Ctrl+A before Ctrl+V and end up having to crop out parts of my screenshots because MS Paint leaves behind the old image, creating a stacking photo montage that would be interesting if I weren't trying to do this! Anyways, that's all I've found so far in Jarlaheim and I believe that's all there is there. When I checked I did...

Wednesday Easter Update - Egg Hunting, Golden Eggs, and Bugs

This week's updates brings a new fun egg hunt to celebrate Easter.  It starts in Silverglade Village by talking to Felix.  Once you find all five of his hidden eggs, he will give you a reward (which was an Easter egg for me) and then a new quest will open up at the guy near the Club Master in SGV (I forget his name but I'll try to check again later).  He's only a few steps away. After Silverglade Village, I headed to Landon - the guy with the rabbit race - and found all five of his eggs, and then went to Fort Pinta and found eggs for the security guard. So far I've only gotten one good reward, a pretty green saddle that has 1 swiftness on it, so it's not awesome, but at least it's pretty.  I was also disappointed in the things the vendor has for sale.  I'm not too keen on yellow (although I do like orange) and the saddle and bridle offered there are both yellow, with no decorations currently available. From Fort Pinta I took the ferry to Jarlaheim, and...

Loke and Isolde Help and New Arabian Horses!

Over the weekend I played a lot more Star Stable than I thought I would.  l did the Isolde and Loke quest chain in one day, with the exception of the part that requires an overnight to progress, which I finished the next day.  If anyone is having any problems locating the second ladder to the treehouse, I have a tip and a screenshot for you. This screenshot shows the location on the map and what the area surrounding it looks like. Finding the treehouse itself was rather difficult for me, as there's a point where you can't see the next white flower and you have to bumble about rather blindly.  Needless to say, I'm not too fond of that wooded area, with its lack of paths and the need to guess where to go. I've been playing a lot more frequently, in part because my sister has been too, and she asks me to play with her.  I don't get to talk to her very often, and I haven't seen her in years, because she lives in Ireland and I live in the US. I...

A headache in a chest

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 ...
