[Boutique] The War of Horn Begins with the Prophetic Card of the Tamer!
We've noted the Rhinos of Sarnaut looking on with envy as the Fiery Gryphon spreads it's newly coloured wings. We've seen the owners pull back from charging a cocky Orc on his Fury Raptor at the last second, instead deciding to bide their time until the day arrives when they will be the envy of the faction's capitals. Well there is good news for our players with Rhinos in their stables, and even more good news for those without, as the Prophetic Card system returns with some exciting, new changes!
From Friday, June 29th until Monday, July 2nd, you will be able to loot the Prophetic Card of the Tamer arrives in Sarnaut, giving you a chance to win a full Rhino mount, new skins, new vanity outfits and much, much more!
And to open these cards, you will beneficiate from a huge 75% reduction on the Ancient Compass from the Boutique, which will be available from Friday the 29th of June until the 5th of July!
Let's start with the basics of the system for our players who joined our adventures with the Astral Storm update. From friday the 29th of june players will notice that mobs they kill have the chance to drop a new item, known as a Prophetic Card of the Tamer. This is an item that will allow players to play a game of chance, and win to some truly amazing prizes! They start dropping from mobs from the 29th of June at 18:00 GMT and will keep dropping until the 2nd of July until 18:00!
To take part in the action, any player that wishes to use the Prophetic Card needs to obtain an item called an Ancient Compass, which is available from the Boutique from Friday, June 29th until Thursday, July 5th . This will allow you to scan the Prophetic Card and see what prizes lay behind them!
You will then be given an opportunity of turning over one to four cards and winning the prizes that lay beneath, depending on how many Ancient Compass you have in your bag! Don't worry if you have some Prophetic Cards left overs after Thursday, July 5th however, as you can open them at any time after that date with your Ancient Compass.

Don't worry if you have some Prophetic Cards left overs after Thursday, July 5th however, as you can open them at any time after that date with your Ancient Compass.
These can be obtained through gPotato, Boutique Coins and Premium Crystals. Be advised that any Ancient Compass got through Premium Crystals are bound, but if using gPotato or Boutique Coins you can trade or auction them!
Players should also be aware that prizes won through Prophetic Cards of the Tamer are bound to the character, so when opening these make sure that you are using it on the correct one! Read further below to find out more details about this new mechanic.

First of all, the price of the Ancient Compass has been slashed, as we have included a massive 75% reduction in the amount of gPotato required to gain one. That new amount is 10 gPotato for those not paying attention the last time!
But we haven't stopped our revamping of the prophetic card system there.
Stroke of Luck
Those here for the last event may remember that each time you used a prophetic card that a bar below the interface (see the screenshot below) would fill up, and every 50 points accumulated would give you a Stroke of Luck.
Once this bar is full your interface will change colour and you will be given a turn at winning one prize from a selection of some of the very best prizes available in this event!
Prizes
So now you will be able to win a variety of new, exclusive items. Arguably the most exciting of which is a full, rank 3 Rhino Mount that every comes with some brand new and exclusive Rhino Skins!
If you are looking out for a cute, pink new mount for your Gibberling Ladies, then the Mooncorn will be your choice, if you like it hot, then get in touch with our Fierycorn. Your Ork Shaman will love to ride through the Coba Plateau on the back of the classic hairy Beastlycorn. If you love the fuzzyness of the Beastlycorn, but are more looking for a cool Zem-Look, then the Hairycorns poisonous green eyes would suit your needs and last but not least, the Shadowhorn will please all our Necromants of Sarnaut with it's mysterious look! But enough of the talk, as we know you are already excited to take a look at our beautiful beasts:
For those who fly in the face of fashion and are purely practical in their pursuits, take a gander at these stats, taken from a fed, level 1 Rhino:
But it's not only mount lovers who have something to be excited about here! There are a variety of exclusive vanity costumes up for grabs when turn you a card! With this Prophetic Card of the Tamer offer we'll be introducing class costumes for the Warrior, Psionicist, Summoner and Healer straight from the mind of Tep and the ships of the Demon Hunters to the Boutique! Don't worry if you aren't these classes however, as anyone who wins one will be able to equip and wear with pride!
Vanity aficionados, you can now breathe in, put you eyes back inside your head and keep reading, because we have even more in store for you! We'll also be introducing a set of Armored Angelic Wings AND a set of Armored Shadow Wings! The image below has been split to show the design of both, we're sure you'll agree that they'll be must have as soon as word gets out of their existence in the taverns of Novograd and Nezebgrad!
Guaranteed Prizes
Okay let's take a second after that onslaught of awesomeness to back things up the screenshot showing the Stroke of Luck interface, those of you that skipped down to pretty pictures instead should have their first look at it too! You'll notice the Stroke of Luck bar that can be filled when you turn over individual Prophetic Cards of the Tamer, we've told you all about that. But what about that Guaranteed Prize Bar? That wasn't there the last time, and is something that will interest all your Allods Online friends, so go slap your guildmates in the head and tell them to come read this news!
The Guaranteed Prize Bar is just that, a prize bar that will give you guaranteed prizes! Each time you turn a Prophetic Card, and use an Ancient Compass, your total amount used will fill this bar and win you prizes along the way! As you can see through the screenshot, at the front of the bar you will receive the Armored Angelic Wings, and from then on you will be able to pick up each of the exclusive Rhino patterns at different sections of the Prize Bar!
Substitutions
We know that's a lot of exciting news to take in at once, but we said we'll push things and include one extra feature! The prizes from the Prophetic Cards are bound, so you might wonder what you will do if you win two of, for example, the Demon Hunter Priest Headgear. Well the last great feature we have to show you eliminates that, as there is an alternative prize list for items that you have already won! What that means is if you get two of the same item, one of them will be swapped for the corresponding item on the list! We don't want to keep you in the dark about what's on that list, so here's a table that illustrates everything you can win, and everything it will be swapped for should you be lucky enough to win it twice!
Column A: Prizes that can be won
Column B: Alternative List of Prizes
Should you win an item from Column A that you already have you will automatically be given the prize beside it in Column B on this table.
Example: You win a second Shadowcorn Horn, you will instead get 100 Crystal Chips
