5 Years Anniversary Event

The event was a Horse Racing event taking place in Australia. This was the first event that combined puzzle pieces and derby points. The event introduced a new Exclusive horse: Exclusive Summer. Exclusive Summer was released as buy-or-win only and was the reward for the top 50 players on the leaderboard during the 3 racing seasons. The Exclusive Summer pack on sale came with two customizations and gave a +50% multiplier for derby points.

The event started with a short Lucky Week.

Puzzle Pieces
Puzzle piece drops were Victory Derby, Ancient Consort and Isabella Derby. Victory Derby was the major drop. Decoration rewards from the treasure boxes were old Christmas themed decorations, carriages and flower pots.

Top 50 leaderboard prize horse was the new Exclusive Summer. The season star breeds were Exclusive Summer (1st season, +10% speed), and Budyonny (2nd season, +5% speed).

Collecting Derby Points
Derby points were available in the following ways:
 * Horse Racing: 100 for each race, max 300 per day. (only until 17th May)
 * Dressage: 100 for each show, max 300 per day.
 * Steeplechase: 80 for each run, max 240 per day.
 * Quiz Stand: 60 for each correct answer, max 180 per day. (from 18th May onwards)

Spending Derby Points
By tapping the gift box in the top right corner of the event screen, the players could access the Derby Exchange. There were two prize categories: Anniversary and Constellation II.

Anniversary contained one new Exclusive, Gratitude, and four older ones: Knight, Clown, Cowboy and Gaia. There were sets of new tack (saddles, bridles, hats and shinguards) as well as three decorations. On May 26th, 8 new horses were added to the exchange: Restrike Derby, Khamari Derby, Champ Derby, Dailon Derby, Mattie Event Horse, Edie Event Horse, Ancient Consort and Shetland Pony (common) for 6000 points each.

Constellation II prize category had all Constellation II horses for 5000 each.

There were male and female versions of each exclusive and constellation horse.

Tips and Tricks
There are a lot of horses, tack and decorations available in this event. It is impossible to collect all of them, so choose wisely!

How to collect points?
Participate in Dressage and Horse Racing 3 times a day (100 points per one race/show) and run 3 Steeplechases every day (80 per run). It doesn’t matter if you reach a milestone or not. As long as you start running a steeplechase, it counts.

You can get 840  per day. During the 27 days of the event, that means a total of 22 680 points. Unless they add another way to earn points (eg. from the Quiz stand), that is the total amount of points you can spend.

If you buy the Summer Pack, that comes with +50% multiplier. It means that you will get 150 points for each race in Horse Racing and so on. That way you can get 50% more points during the entire event. Same is true if you buy the Carnival Master pack (available on the event screen). If you buy both packs, you get +100% points, so twice the amount of what you would get without the packs (so your max would be 45 360 points).

What can the points be used for?
Horses, tack and decorations. There is a brand new Exclusive, called Gratitude, available for 7000 points. Knight, Clown, Cowboy and Gaia are also available in the Anniversary prize category. Remember that Knight, Cowboy and Gaia have puzzle piece recipes, so they might be available more often than others! Constellation IIs are available for 5000 tokens each in the Constellation II prize category.

What do they cost?
See the prices of single items from the event exchange. However, here are some examples of what things cost when you are buying many things from the event exchange. Without buying the multiplier packs, you have a total of 22 680 points to spend. As you can see, it’s not enough for everything, so you need to pick your favourite things to collect. So what should you choose? That's completely up to you, but here are some things to consider:
 * One of each tack item: 7000 points
 * One of each decoration item: 1800 points
 * All tack items (so two or even five items of the same tack): 21 200 points
 * All decoration items (so 10 times each item): 18 000 points
 * One gender of each available Exclusive horse: 32 000 points
 * One gender of each available Constellation II horse: 60 000 points
 * Gratitude is a new horse. It might take years for Gratitude to come back again - if it ever does.
 * Knight, Cowboy and Gaia have breeding recipes, so they are more likely to be available again sooner than Clown and Gratitude.
 * Constellation IIs are in the Special Quest Exchange. However, if you don't have any Constellation horses yet and cannot get Special Quest tokens together quickly, getting one from this event would mean that you could run the Cloud Race steeplechase.
 * Tack items are unlikely to be available later on, so if you like something, grab it now before it's gone.

For Collectors
If you have all of the other horses, I have some good news for you: it is possible to get Gratitude, one of each tack item and one of each decoration without having to buy either of the multiplier packs. However, unless they add a new way to get points, it is not possible to get Gratitude and all tack items.
