Horse

Horses are an EPIC Adventurer's trusty companion who will help you in various ways as you play through EPIC RPG!

Note: You can only have one horse partner in your adventures and **cannot sell them**. Breed horses with another player to essentially reroll your horse.

To start breeding horse's with other players, you must first obtain a horse through **/buy basic horse**.

## **Commands**

* **/buy basic horse**
	+ Purchases a **Tier I** horse for 500 coins from the shop. You will get a random type except for special and super special. Alias: **@EPIC RPG#4117** **buy horse**

* **/help horse**
	+ Gives an explanation on Horse Tiers, Breeding, Types and other miscellaneous information.

* **/horse stats**
	+ Shows the current profile of your horse. Contains info on their Tier, Level, Boosts, current failed attempts, and a list of other Horse Commands.

* **/horse training [amount]**
	+ Levels up your horse at the cost of coins. The price will be shown upon a successful training or by referring to the amount shown in your horse's profile and is affected by the level of your lootboxer profession. Alias: **@EPIC RPG#4117** **horse tr**

## **Horse Breeding**

There are 10 Horse Tiers - Tier I, Tier II, Tier III, Tier IV, Tier V, Tier VI, Tier VII, Tier VIII ,Tier IX and Tier X

Breeding two horses together will result in a possible new Horse Type, Tiers, Levels and Epicness.

The resulting **Horse Types** will be totally random and is unaffected by anything. The chance to get a specific horse type is the same for all other horse types, excluding **Special** and **Super Special**. While **Special** may be obtained through breeding at a lower chance than other types, **Super Special** can only be obtained by breeding two **Special** horses with one another.

**Horse Token:** If you do not want to change your horse type during breeding, you can buy a horse token in epic shop with 4 epic coins. If you have it in your inventory, it will be automatically used during breeding. You can sell it for the same amount of epic coins too.

The new **Horse Level** is dependent on both their parent's levels, resulting in the average level of the two. If the average level results in a decimal, it will either be rounded down or up randomly.

**[(Horse A Level + Horse B Level) / 2] = Average**

> **Ex #1)** If Horse A Level = 5, and Horse B Level = 9
>
>
> Then [(5+9) / 2] = 7
>
>
> **Ex #2)** Horse A = 6 and Horse B = 9
>
>
> [(6+9) / 2] = 7.5 → (7 or 8)
>
>
>
> Thus, either/both new horses can be level 7 or level 8

## Horse tiers

There are 10 **Horse Tiers**. You can get a higher tier horse by breeding your horse with another player's horse. It is not guaranteed to advance to a higher tier upon breeding (Tier I excluded) and may require multiple attempts at breeding before you succeed.

> Tier V + Tier V = Tier V or Tier VI
>
>

**You can only breed with a horse of the same tier.**

**A Higher Time Travel # gives a % bonus chance of tiering up during horse breeding (% bonus amount unknown).**

There's a horse pity system where at a certain amount of breeds, you will have a guaranteed chance for a tier up. Every certain breed, there will be an increased chance to tier up.

Horse breeding and horse race have a shared cooldown of 24 hours. This cooldown is affected if there is a reduction from a patreon role.

## Max breeding attempts

Even though there is a certain chance to tier up in each horse tier, there is also a maximum amount of times it can fail before it becomes guaranteed (see table above).

Not only that, but also after a certain amount of fails, the chance to tier up is boosted:

* **Between 0 - 25%** of the fail count to reach a guaranteed horse tier up, there is **no boost**
* **Between 25 - 50%**, the boost is **x1.25** (For horses tier 8 and above)
* **Between 50 - 75%**, the boost is **x2** (For horses tier 6 and above)
* **Between 75 - 100%**, the boost is **x5** (For horses tier 4 and above)

So, for example, a tier 7 horse with 61 fail attempts has 2% chance to tier up, instead of 1%.

## **Horse Race**

Available to Tier V and above horse tiers, races are another way a player may be able to increase their horse tier. Results are posted on the Epic RPG Support Server every 2 hours, displaying the top 3 ranking of each of the six tier races (for a total of at most, 18 players displayed).

Rankings are, for the most part, randomly number generated; however, the player's horse level can increase their chances of placing in the top 3. Do note that **a high level does not always guarantee a top 3 rank**. A max level horse of that tier has the possibility of placing 2nd or 3d, or not at all.

Aside from the chance of tiering up, players may instead receive a different reward that is also based on their placing.

**As of 19/09/2022 - The horse race rewards have been buffed along with the epic berries, the information on other rewards may not be 100% accurate. They will be updated as more horse races accur so we can gather information on what new/earlier rewards are available.**

### Possible rewards

Note: Only **one** reward will be given and it is **random**. The exceptions are 3rd place (excluding Tier IX and X), and Tier V 2nd place, as there is only one possible reward.

## **Horse Training and Levels**

Training your horse increases your horse level, which increases the boost that your horse type provides. In the section below, a chart can be found containing the boost percentage per level for each type.

There is a limit to the amount of times you can raise your level depending on horse tier. Having a lootboxer profession level above 100 affects the limit. The formula below can be used to calculate the max level for your tier:

**(Horse tier \* 10) + (Lootboxer Profession Levels above 100)**

The cost of a horse training increases depending on the horse's level. Lootboxer profession also decreases the cost. The formula below can be used to calculate the cost of a training:

**round((n^4 \* (n^2 + 210 \* n + 2200) \* (500 - l^1.2)/100000))**

**Note:** Horse level does not affect the chances to tier up from a horse breed in any way.

## **Horse Types and Boosts**

Below are the percentage boost per horse level depending on horse type and tier.

**Defender** increases your Defense. **Strong** increases your Attack. **Tank** increases your HP. **Special** unlocks and boosts the amount of Coins and Exp you gain from Epic Quest. **Golden** boosts the amount of coins you gain from Hunts and Adventures. **Festive** increases your chances for Random events. **Magic** increases efficiency for enchantments, and Super Special has same effect as Special but unlocks 100 waves!

**Note: for the Magic Horse Type, efficiency for enchantments does not mean you get a chance for better enchantments. Instead it boosts the % on the attack/defense of an enchantment!**

## **Horse Tier Boosts**

Based on the horse tier, players may receive the following bonuses:

\***Notes:**

***Omega horse tokens*** can be purchased with **150 guild rings** to reset your horse breeding/race cooldown.

[1] means that you won't die from Hunts and Adventures - if the damage you received is supposed to kill you, your horse will save you and escape, leaving you with 1 HP; however, you will not be getting anything as you have failed to defeat the monster. There is **no cooldown** and it will happen **every time** so long as your horse is Tier IV+. **Warning: You will not be saved from dying via event choices.**

[2] means that the master of the horse can enter a dungeon even if they do not have the corresponding key in their inventory. It does **not** mean that both players can enter the dungeon without a key, *unless* both players have a Tier VI or higher horse.

[3] This means that with a Tier X horse, the player can obtain more than 1 item from mobs. For example, 2 mob drops or lootboxes, or even higher amounts of items!
