Star Stable Online Etc

Today, as covered in the News section of the website: http://www.starstable.com/en/news Star Stable has introduced two new Appaloosa horses, available from Marley's Farm (where you can also find the American Paint and the Dutch Warmblood).  Here's some info and photos: I'm quite partial to this one: He's almost like a brown zebra!  I can't think of a better word for that color than brown... hmm... I'll think on it some. I have to wait until Saturday to buy him, but I've been wanting a brown horse, and he's just different enough to make brown cool. I have real work to do, so I should really log off, but I still have to do my silly Sun Circle quests.  :(

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 ...

Last night I was able to purchase Lifetime Star Rider membership! Due to the sale currently taking place, I received 2400 Star Coins and was able to purchase my newest horse, an American Paint named Wolfspirit.  It was hard to choose between the two different black and white Paint options, but I ended up choosing the one with more white on it. Say hello to Wolfspirit! By completing every race, I was able to bring him up to level 4 in one day. I'm still trying to decide which pieces of tack and which colors I want to wear and use now that I have him, and whether or not I want to dye my hair purple and change my makeup to the black eyeliner with the star on it that can be found at the salon in the fishing village, but so far I think we look pretty good.

Today in "The World of Horsecraft" (as it appears on your billing statement and a tongue-in-cheek reference to World of Warcraft [which I also play,]) I feel as though I accomplished a lot.  I started off the day by assisting the Keepers of Aideen in the quest to find Justin, who appeared to have been kidnapped by the Dark Core, under leadership of his grandfather, Mr. Sands.  (As mentioned in the title, this is only a slight spoiler.)  There were quite a few fun activities that I had to complete as part of this quest, including playing a 'Metal Gear Solid-esque' game of 'hide and hopefully-no-one-seeks'.  There was a slight surprise twist, ending in an escape for my life, and rescue by a friendly captain.  {It's a good thing he managed to defeat those termites!} I also, once again, assisted in the production of my new-and-hopefully-epic horseshoes, which are supposed to take a week of working with the blacksmith to create. This weekend Star Stable i...

Today I had my first fishing quests, and finding the right location to fish is tricky without some help. Here is the link to the website I used that helped me find the location of Thursday's fish, cod: http://ssoridethrough.com/tag/nothern-pike/ Just scroll through and it will show you the sites on your map where you will find each day's catch. The place where cod can be fished up is called Stable Beach Dock.

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 ...

Howdy!  I play Star Stable Online on the European server (despite living in the US) and my character's name is Veronika Starstorm.  I own two horses, Opalmist, a dappled gray Jorvik Warmblood, and Onyxflame, a majestic Friesian.  (In case you can't tell, I'm rather partial to Onyx.) This blog will be my way of helping out fellow riders, as well as just offering a Jarl-sized podium for discussion, complaints, etc. My first few blog posts will be providing help to those who have difficulty in specific quests.  I know there are a few really good resources for quest help, but I haven't found one yet that helps with this one in particular. More to come soon!
