I thought I'd give you an overall view on what prices you should pay for certain horses, because we wouldn't want you wasting your money on a horse that really isn't worth a lot!
Here a list of things to do when browsing the sales:
- Think about what could come in handy, and whether you could make profit from the horse
For example, say there was a decent stallion, fully BLUPped, decent GP (genetic potential) and it was a price you could afford, you could make money off that stallion because you can offer coverings. With unicorns, you can sell its unicorn offspring for passes or a high amount of equus. You can also buy a cheap horse and sell it for more money, if you need some extra equus.
- Has it got good GP or skills?
Can you train the horse and sell him for more money? Is he a good ranking in the genetics ranks? You can always check in the rankings. Chances are, a horse like this won't come cheap, but if you find a price that is right for you, then go ahead and buy.
- Is the horse worth that price?
A lot of the time, horses aren't worth the price they are up for. Think about it. Has the horse been in the sales for a long time? If it has, it probably isn't worth that price.
This is a rough outline of what I think certain horses are worth, whether buying or selling.
- Unicorns (MALE) - 70,000e or one pass
- Unicorns (FEMALE) - 90,000e or one pass
- Divines - be prepared to pay lots of passes and money for these.
- Donkeys (FEMALE) (take off 10,000 for each cover used) 50,000e
- Donkeys (FEMALE) (with no covers) 5,000
- Donkeys (MALE) (take off 7,000 for each cover used) 35,000e
- Skiller - a few passes and a generous amount of equus
If you are still looking for that perfect horse, and it says negotiable beneath the price, message the player and try a sort out a sensible price! Of course, if it is a unicorn, don't offer 2,000. That's a bit silly!
Auctions are usually cheaper than direct sales, but you can't really negotiate with the auctions, so I advise that you try the direct sales and then go to the auctions if the direct sales haven't helped you.
I hope this has given you a brief overview on sales for horses, if you need any guidance or help, feel free to PM me under the horse name megan or post in the comments.
Thanks, Megan.
