Spring/Summer Gift Exchange?
  • I thought the GE was just a Secret Santa type thing, but I keep seeing references to another one coming up. Is there one mid-year also?

  • Thanks! That's exciting, I was way too new to feel ready last Christmas, but I definitely want to participate now, so I'm glad I don't have to wait until the holidays!

  • How do you find out if you've been approved for level 2?

    (Not sure what the rank names or numbers are)

  • @OopsDotCom Here is the link for the GE page. It will tell you your current level: https://www.huntandjump.com/giftexchange.php

    For example, mine says: You are currently qualified for level 2 of the gift exchange. Right under the part that says the GE is not currently open.

  • Thanks!

    Out of curiosity does anyone know for level 2 what's the minimum real money needed? My real life income isn't that great.
  • @OopsDotCom there is no real money ever required for the gift exchange, the recommended minimum in game currency is 25,000 for level 2
  • @annismyrph ahh, I didn't know that. How many years is it? I still can't believe I didn't know about this game sooner, it's absolutely the perfect game for me and my interests

  • I think the game started in 2006, but I didn't start playing until 2011, after watching my daughter play for eight months. :D

  • Yep it started in 2006. I found it advertised on Horse land, those were terrible times lol
  • Haven't thought about Horseland in a loooongg time. Lol. Wish I would have seen the ad for HAJ back then and found it sooner!

  • I saw the ad on Instagram for a long time before deciding to try HAJ. I wish I would have started sooner! Some things kind of remind me of Howrse, but HAJ is much better in my opinion. And the community is so much nicer and more supportive!

  • @ichigo I thought it was $25k for Level 1, $250k for Level 2 and not sure on Level 3, I'm assuming millions.
  • I think it's 2,500 for level 1, 25,000 for level 2, and 250,000 for level 3.
  • You guys are confusing the expected gifting value ranges and the minimum weekly income required per level.
    Need to contact me? Read this first.

    I sometimes get busy and miss things. If your private message, question, etc. gets missed please ping me so I can follow up with you. I am also always happy to explain or clarify. (HAJ does not have a customer service email, please send me a forum message! )

  • @Ammit probably. If you hosted them more often maybe we'd remember ^_~
  • Level 3 is pretty much “the sky’s the limit”
  • If you'd like to be in level 3, can it be done without spending real cash?
  • Where do I find the information about your gift level? I've looked at the menu on the left side but can't seem to find it.

  • @OopsDotCom go to your Stable Overview page, click on Stable Management, then under Community you will see Gift Exchange for more info.

    Yes, level 3 can be done without real cash, a lot of gifts are bartered for with others - obtaining heavily GMT'd horses from others for you to gift away, paying with HBs for pastures or barns, purchasing straws/eggs etc with hbs. It can be done for sure! But you will probably need to start with a lot of capital (hbs)
  • Isn’t the minimum spending amount for each level this?
    Level 1 = 25,000hbs
    Level 2 = 250,000hbs
    Level 3 = 2,500,000hbs

    And then required daily show bonus per level is this?
    Level 1 = 2,500hbs
    Level 2 = 25,000hbs
    Level 3 = 250,000hbs

    Or am I totally wrong?

  • Level 3 also requires a Premium Account ; the other 2 do not ; and you need to earn your way up each step :)

  • Ichigo, can you send barns etc to the other person bought with hb? I had understood it was cash only. Can I also send hb to make up for what I can't find for them?

  • @CheshireFarms I'm sure Ammit would if she could but twice a year is more than enough! It takes a lot of hands to help with the GE and hosting more often would make it less special. You could always check the gift exchange page under you member home page to remember the amounts needed for each ranking.
    Ammit does more than enough so let's not put any extra pressure on her :D

  • I think it would be less special and exciting if the GE happened too often anyway, twice a year is a nice number

  • I'm getting so excited about the GE already. I'm dutifully squirreling away ponies and IVs to spoil my giftee(s). I also think it would lose it's enchantment if more than twice a year though.

    @OopsDotCom I'm 99% sure barns can only be sent to other players using RL cash, not HBs. There isn't a "shop for someone else" link on the IV purchase page. The only way that might work is if you paid someone HBs to buy the barn with RL money and send it to your giftee.
