Starting out and making $
  • Hi, I just joined the game last month. I’ve accumulated some horses and feel like I’m off to a decent start, but I’m having trouble being self sufficient as far as $ goes. I purchased some hbs a couple times with the moving sale in place, but now I find myself out of $ again. I just create a few horses each day and try and make sure the showing is done. What do you think is the best way to make $ with a new account? Maybe I’m looking for results too quickly? I’m going to have to get another barn soon too. I’ve been told I should sell some rank specials that I have, is there really a market for them? Will I regret selling them later on? I’m looking for some ideas on how to build up the bank account. Thanks for any advice,
    OakleyDiver
  • The hardest part in the beginning is making HB's... make sure you do every single Achievement Task.. it will actually help you with not just $ but also stall space as you comeplete each task. Also, there used to be a thread for New people to get 150,000 HB's but puttign ahorse up for sale, since I cant find the thread,please put a horse up for sale in This thread for 150,000 HB's so I can buy it from you :)

  • Put up a horse for me, for 50,000hbs.
    When I started our, I sold rank specials for money and did well with that. You'll have more opportunities to buy more

  • Start collecting spayed/gelded horses for show horses and be sure and show every barn twice a week. Your show horses will be your money makers. It takes a bit of time to build up a decent show string for daily income but it's well worth it. Invest in barns whenever you can to make more space for show horses
    I'll also buy a horse from you if you post one here for 50,000 since your account is too new to send money directly. We haven't had new members on this server for a while since it was closed to registration for a while, but traditionally established members have always helped put the newer accounts :)

  • When selling rank specials, Ammit put together a list showing the average selling price of all rank specials and other horses.
    Bookmark this link: https://www.huntandjump.com/herdhelpers.php

    And put up a horse you don't want for 50,000 for me.
  • I will also buy one for 50,000
  • Another you can do is comb though the HerdHelper forum for the day, keep up to date. You're looking for exceptionally perfect, exceptional show, and exceptional producers. You will get some Rank Specials along the way that you can create for 2500 then sell for a higher price according to that link I gave you.
  • Just sent you a welcome gift! Hope you enjoy the game as much as we all do.

  • @starstruck2, @oopsdotcom, @victory5627, thank you again for your help. I posted a couple horses for sale. @wldmstnglvr that was very kind of you- thank you!
    The cash flow here is really going to help me out. I hope to be able to pay it forward sometime once I get my account established.
  • Hello Oakleydiver,
    Welcome to hunt and jump! Starting out can be difficult for sure. Have you completed the achievement tasks? Sometimes those can help as your starting out. Also all the horses you create starting out are given points till you have reached a max of 20,000 points "i beleive" . If i were to start over again i would keep all my pointed creates as they earn you hbs daily , i would breed them all that were of age and not spayed or gelded and the foals i would immediately put into the auction without doing any testing to them. Repeat the next season while you build your foundations. I know its hard to at first but the more you can save up you can buy ivs and purchase more stalls with ivs. This will allow you to have more horses which will eventually add up to your daily hbs payout . Also remember to put your horses into shows twice a week and to have them trained! Also yes rank special horses can go for quite a bit of hbs depending on the genetics. Ones that you decide dont match the types of horses your wanting put it in the for sale forum and have an auction or put it in the public auction for more than 2,500hbs and advertise you have these horses in the auction. Some creates can earn you between 15,000hbs to 400,000hbs depending on the genetics. Hope this little bit helps :)

  • Thanks for the help and advice, @ambervalleyarabians. I was sort of wondering what it meant when I hear people talk about the horses aging out. Do the horses go for more money after 10?

  • "I was sort of wondering what it meant when I hear people talk about the horses aging out. Do the horses go for more money after 10?"

    To answer the question above- Aging out is when a horse passes away at rollover which happens the last night of every month. That is when horses aged 17 or older could potentially pass away. Horses cannot breed after age 20 either.
    Horses auction for their daily payout after they turn 10. You can see that on your horse's personal page!

    Welcome to the game, we hope you enjoy it! Please feel free to ask questions, there are some very knowledgeable people in the game willing to help :)

  • If it hasn't already been said, make sure you are signed up for the monthly News Letter. Ammit usually includes a special HH link for a horse with 1000 points to start off with.

    I bought you a 1 month Premium account so you can have some more fun, as well as sent you $500k. I have plenty of horses with over 1000 points if you have room for some. But I think you're off to a great start.
  • @cheshireFarms, Thank you so much for your generosity. I admire your horses.
