    The last mission is just getting Shining Armor to 5 stars. There's just a handful of missions after defeating Nightmare Moon, leveling Shining being the last one. If there's any preparation for this it would be saving enough bits and/or gems to raise him faster. Just letting you know it's a very slow and time consuming grind with very little pay off.

    For the candy vase you can spend bits to buy it, however for the Guard Statue and Ice Sculpture you're either gonna have to spend a little amount of gems to skip them or just pony up for the whole thing. This is one of many quests that require you to spend gems in order to complete them, not to mention these are quests that keep you from getting new quests until you finish them. Unfortunately spending real bits is about the only way to beat the game otherwise you'll just be stuck on one quest until you can save enough gems from Derpy or from the daily bonus. Of course if you don't mind hacking there is an alternative that makes everything free, then again that would break the game entirely and where's the fun in that. The aforementioned hack is a program called ponyliberator and can be found through a simple google search.

    You should start getting more quests once your current one is completed. The quest system in this game requires that you complete specific quests in order, even if you have all the ponies for future quests. The quests that require you to find and give chests are the ones most people get stuck on because of how bad the social network is. There will be more quests of that type later on, one of which will require you to find about 25 chests or something so it might be a good idea to simply skip them using gems as they are rather time consuming.

    Now this is just a theory so don't quote me on this but I'm assuming when you're doing the time glitch you are moving time forward repeatedly to get the free gems. From what I know the "Daily Bonus" time table is saved separately on the Gameloft servers (just like the prices for ponies and buildings), what this means is that you can only do the time glitch a certain amount of times before it stops showing up. Basically once the current time table is finished you should start receiving the "Daily Bonus" again, in short you just have to wait the same amount of days that you skipped in order for it to return. As for still getting the bonus when you don't have the internet, you still get the bonus because during the last time you were connected you received the time table packet from the Gameloft servers for the current day as well as for future planned days.

    I have the town-hall and the pay is just slightly better than the hospital in terms of bits. As for magic shards you definitely get them more frequent than other shops, however the wait time between collections are pretty long 22 hours for the first one and 33 hours for the second option. I will say this I've gotten at least 3-5 magic shards from the town-hall just from the first option. On a side-note I have noticed that once you've activated the element stones the corresponding shards become even more common, so if anything try to activate the stones first before dealing with parasprites unless you need to build something.

    You should probably aim for Mayor Mare because later on there is a quest that requires that you have her. She is pretty expensive but not impossible to get if you have a lot of friends.

    Actually just recently like around Thanksgiving weekend they reduced Rainbow Dash's price to 90 gems like Rarity. I guess they got a lot of complaints about her price being 500 gems so they reduced it.
  8. Sand Piper
    You get her when you defeat Nightmare Moon. This means that not only do you have to find and activate all the Elements of Harmony stones, but you need to recruit the Mane 6 and complete their associated quest lines. Once you've completed all of that she will appear in your inventory and you just add her in. Edit: Whoops got ninja'd once again...

    Chests appear in your town when someone visits it and leaves a chest. They're a light blue with gold trim and appear in random places on your town. I say "on" not in because they appear to float on top of your map. As for a good picture of how they look, try visiting Celestia's Ponyville from your friends list and you can give her a chest. The chests look like the ones you drop in other people's Ponyvilles'.

    I would like to see them to add some more of the background ponies; like perhaps Roseluck, Lily, Daisy, Golden Harvest, Fleur-de-lis or even the spa ponies. I found it a little odd they decided to add Caramel when as far as I know he doesn't have a huge fan base...though I could be wrong.
  11. Sand Piper
    Well if you're playing the game without cheating or hacking, you can only get them through playing the gem version of the balloon pop game. However, the way most people have gotten them is simply killing the app then turning off your wifi then logging back in again. When you do, the balloon only ponies become available for purchase using bits. They're fairly expensive but nothing you can't earn by doing the time glitch if you haven't been doing it already.
  12. Sand Piper
    It's not your wifi because I'm having the same problem. I'm guessing their servers are being choked again because of the sale Gameloft is having on gems. As for a solution to the problem...well I got nothing, if anything just wait awhile and try again later.

    There's something that has been bothering me about the heart gems lately. Since the release of the game my "in-game" friends list has been steadily growing and as of right now it's showing about 30 or so people that I have accepted requests from. Now assuming I get at least one heart gem from each of them I should be able to rake in 30 heart gems per 24 hour period. Yet why is that I'm getting 5 or less a day? Is there some sort of delay from the time they send gems to the time I receive them?
  14. Sand Piper
    As far as I know they don't do anything other than keep you from building in the squares they hover over, which is fairly large from what I can gather. Also the magic shards become more common when you acquire the more expensive shops like the hospital and town hall. The only downside is that these buildings take forever to produce anything and it's not even guaranteed that they'll drop magic shards. Luckily you can get magic shards from any store, they're just very rare. Edit: Looks like I got ninja'd... Just in case you haven't had your previous question answered by now I'll answer it for you. To add ponies to your friends list you first tap the scroll in the top right corner then scroll down until you see an icon labeled Gameloft Live. Tap it and you should start the process of signing up; after which you can start adding friends by sending requests under the tab of messages in the Gameloft Live section.

    I was wondering how everypony is handling the random debris spawns in this game? Those giant rocks are killing me, I mean my ponyville looks a rock quarry. Not to mention the endless waves of parasprites that spawn along with them. If rock and parasprite spawns weren't so frequent or if they didn't occur at all then this game would be a pleasant experience overall (aside from the overpriced ponies and the glitchy friend system that is). Also just a word of caution to anyone who plans on actually using money for this game or to anyone in general; now this is just speculation but you might want to hold off buying any of the gem ponies until next Friday. Because what with it being "Black Friday" and all, Gameloft might bring back that 3 day sale that happened last week. Of course this is just me speculating and I have nothing to support it other than it being "Black Friday".

    You're not the only one who has been having trouble with the social network. I'm guessing (now don't quote me on this) but I think the servers are simply backed up from all the friend requests. I've accepted friend requests from like 60 people already, yet only about a 1/6 of them appear on my friend list in game. The only thing I would suggest is restart the app, however that doesn't work all the time.
  17. Sand Piper
    Actually I think it would be a much better to hold off sharing that glitch online, I mean if people want to know they could just email or pm you. But that's just me, it's up to you whether or not to share the glitch freely. The only reason I caution you is that the news could spread too quickly and Gameloft might catch wind of it earlier...then again they might not.

    So I've been playing this game almost non-stop since it came out...(lvl 44) and I was wondering if anyone could answer my question. Has anyone gotten any of the balloon popping exclusive ponies yet? If so which version did you get them in, the free one, the gem or the heart gem version? I don't want to go buy a stack of gems just to get ponies that I could have gotten for free if I was lucky enough. Also on a side note does anyone know if the random debris spawning is part of the game or is it a glitch? I hope it's a glitch because wasting bits on removing random garbage is a pretty crappy feature.

    Actually you don't have to worry about losing or spending anything when sending gifts. It's treated like a poke where the other person just gets a heart gem. I've been gifting everyone that I could on my list, yet I haven't been so lucky in return. Anyway on topic my GL gamertag is kitsuneshido, so feel free to add me if I haven't added you already. On a side note save those heart gems for Scootaloo because later on there's a quest that requires that you have her and you can't skip it with gems.

    I have one birthmark on my left leg near my knee that's in the shape of a man that looks like he's carrying a suitcase or something. I also have a small birthmark in the shape of a heart just below the left side of my rib-cage.

    At first my favorite Pokemon was Tyranitar because of how beastly it looked and not to mention the incredible move pool it had. All of that changed when Leafeon came in to play. I didn't really like any of the other Eevee evolutions because they seemed rather generic, but Leafeon had a neat design. As for favorite Pokemon game, gotta be Crystal as it was the first in the series to introduce an option of playing as a boy or girl.

    I would say I'm both, however I tend to lean more towards modern gaming than classic/retro. There's nothing wrong with older games some actually do get better with time. In fact if there was a revamped version of classic games done with a more modern flare, they might prove to be quite entertaining.

    Nailed my job interview. Working twice a week, 3:30 to 8:30 in the morning. Gonna need a lot of coffee...

    There's nothing quite like the sound of Lego's in a box, for me it's truly nostalgic. Of course the sound would ruin the surprise of a lot of Christmas presents, but it was still awesome nonetheless. In relation to the topic, (I can't believe I didn't remember this right away), I also love the smell of a new box of Lego's especially when the pieces are still in their individual plastic bags.
