Overview

Ride the Night-Mare is a quest with a boss called the Night-Mare. Completing this quest rewards each participant with 37 gold, 275 experience, and 3 Horse eggs. Additional Horse eggs also become available in the Market for 3 gems each.

Availability & Cost:
It was released on September 09, 2015, and it is not yet known what annual re-release group it will be in. When available, the quest scroll can be purchased from the Quest Shop for 4 gems. It is also part of the Farm Friends quest bundle, which is only sometimes available but contains three different quests for only 7 gems.

Difficulty & Length:
The Night-Mare's HP of 500 makes this a medium length quest, and the strength multiplier of 1.5 gives it a base difficulty of "easy". Without using Warrior or Mage boss damaging skills, a four-person party typically takes less than two weeks to finish this quest.


Description

While relaxing in the Tavern with @beffymaroo and @JessicaChase, the talk turns to good-natured boasting about your adventuring accomplishments. Proud of your deeds, and perhaps getting a bit carried away, you brag that you can tame any task around. A nearby stranger turns toward you and smiles. One eye twinkles as he invites you to prove your claim by riding his horse. As you all head for the stables, @UncommonCriminal whispers, "You may have bitten off more than you can chew. That's no horse - that's a Night-Mare!" Looking at its stamping hooves, you begin to regret your words...

Objective(s)

Defeat the Night-Mare.


On Completion

Show/hide spoilers

It takes all your skill, but finally the horse stamps a couple of hooves and nuzzles you in the shoulder before allowing you to mount. You ride briefly but proudly around the Tavern grounds while your friends cheer. The stranger breaks into a broad grin.“I can see that was no idle boast! Your determination is truly impressive. Take these eggs to raise horses of your own, and perhaps we’ll meet again one day.” You take the eggs, the stranger tips his hat…and vanishes.
