Starting Your Equestrian Center Explained:
So you just started your EC, or are about to, and want to know what to do? Maybe this will help. There is no guaranteed top of the rankings method but this will certainly help if you follow it as closely as you can.
Note: The first thing you should do is not open to the public and buy boxes. That may sound weird but it's true, don't "set up shop" just yet.
The first thing to do is buy at least 5 medium meadows, if at all possible even 1, if not all, large 1-pass meadows would be ideal but if not the medium ones will do. If you possibly can, you should use a pass to get yourself a green house So you can grow things you need, if not then you'll just have to work around it. Try to open up in Summer so you can plant all crops full of turnips. Yes, buy as many turnips as you have meadows (large 1-pass meadows can hold 5 seed packs I think, otherwise 1 seed pack per meadow owned). When they harvest sell them all to the the store, and rise and repeat if it's still summer. This helps you earn quite a bit of Equus. The growing.selling seasons directory: Summer- Turnips == Fall- Apples == Winter- Wheat ==Spring- Barley. Whenever you harvest these sell them to the store and start over (If you for some reason plant Flax, keep the bedding but sell the Flax itself. But not all the flax- keep about 20 units of it for mashes!)
Now you have to save up. You'll have around 50 000e when you start and you need to build on that till you have 200 000e. That will only take a few real life months, don't worry.
Now get about 5 medium boxes, and go to the boxes page and reserve them all to yourself so no one boards in them while you're editing things.
Next, just go to the "manage bedding"and select to use flax bedding; if you don't already have some you can wait a season or two to grow some. Now you should wait a couple seasons, and every spring grow 5 meadows of carrots, with the most expensive fertilizer (only 100e). In the summer grow turnips and sell them to help build up what you spent on the boxes and seeds.
When you have a good deal of carrots (40-50 per horse/box) start growing what you need for health mashes. Go to the meadows page and click the "make mashes" page and see what you need. It'll take about 5 seasons to get 200 mashes (give or take 50...)
Now buy 8 fertile meadows (whatever sizes you can afford) and put them into pasture. Eventually you'll need more more to rotate them when the others lose some cleanliness or fertility, you'll want to keep cleanliness above 905 and the same with fertility, so make sure you have at least 16 meadows soon. You may have to buy 8, take a season or two for growing and selling and then repeat.
Now you can either save up all your Equus till you can outfit your boxes with showers or you can open now, either will work. If you open, just un-reserve all the boxes, make sure you have plenty of bedding per box, and set your minimum skill at 1000. As your prestige increases, you can raise your skill level, When you hit 40% you should raise it to 1500 skills.
Now your EC is open. You have to be in as much as possible to keep your meadows rotated, grow carrots and flax bedding every spring, grow turnips to sell every summer, and keep up the growing of health mash stuff while you're at it.
Now you just set up your competitions. Am not very good with those yet so... more coming soon I guess! =D
