Racehorse - Recovery Rates!
Recovery rates affect how long it takes for a racehorse to regenerate its stamina after racing.
After a certain number of races per tier, racehorses will decay into further Recovery Rate tiers that progressively slow down the rate of stamina recovery.
This will open up opportunities for new racehorses to compete, by introducing an additional level of skill and decision-making in race selection. Here’s what you need to know:
What
- Racehorses will have six tiers of recovery rates, beginning at tier 1
- Every 250 races, a racehorse will decay its recovery rate to the next tier
- At each further tier of recovery rate decay, regenerating a single stamina point will take a longer period of time
Impact
- All stable owners will find their racehorses’ recovery rate status in its profile details with its current tier and number of races before decaying into the next tier
- The amount of XP required to level up has been reduced, allowing a better balance of progression within varying recovery rate tiers
- To maintain fair and competitive gameplay, balancing updates to recovery rate and/or stamina may roll out over coming months
