Ancient Egyptian Horus Relic... and The Sphinx!

November 1, 2010 4:50 PM



Hello citizens. The first of November has arrived and with it is the last in our wonderful Ancient Egyptian Relics series! This month when you complete your Loyalty tasks, you will earn the very last item and you'll be able to display your set of three fantastic Egyptian relics.

You could also take your set of three relics to the Combobulator Laboratory and transform them into something really fantastic.  This month is the end of the current series which means that we have an Egyptian treasure for you.

Ancient Egyptian Horus Relic




The god Horus is one of the most famous gods of ancient Egypt. The name Horus stems from the ancient Egyptian word hr (her) which in its simple form was the word for "above" and "upon" so Horus the falcon soars above all the land and its inhabitants, and was the natural symbol of the King who reigns over all Egypt.

Horus may have been known in many forms, but he was always associated with the falcon. In almost all variations, Horus was known as the patron saint of the existing pharaoh and in fact the pharaoh was often referred to as the 'Living Horus'.

Make sure you complete your Loyalty tasks in November so that you don't miss out on this fantastic Egyptian relic!

Loyalty Reward Item: The Sphinx




Citizens, I think this is one of the best Loyalty reward items yet! This incredible looking Sphinx doorway is going to add a real "pharaohs tomb" look to your space.  And a great thing about this is that you can choose to use it as a doorway, as a turret, or both!

You can nominate a destination to use the Sphinx as a doorway / portal.

You can also set an interaction on the Sphinx to shoot people walking past.  A purple blast will shoot from the head of the snake in the head of the Sphinx, and the unsuspecting victim will be engulfed in a purple haze.  It's a great effect - and I love that my Sphinx has so much functionality!



To get your own golden Sphinx just complete all your Loyalty Challenge tasks for November, complete your set of three Egyptian relics and pay a visit to the Combobulator Laboratory.

Earning Your Loyalty Challenge

The weekly challenge is to earn 6 Loyalty Points each day, for three days in a row.  Here are all the ways you can earn your points:

• Complete a Featured Mission - You get +6 Loyalty Points

• Complete an offer with one of our great offer providers (head to The Factory or try one of the Offer Machines in any SmallWorlds store) - You get +6 Loyalty Points

• Look after your pets - You get +1 Loyalty for every new Pet Point you've earned

• Harvest or successfully cross-pollinate a plant - You get +1 Loyalty Point

• Play Spin-to-Win - You get +1 Loyalty Point

• Play a Tournament Game - Points are earned according to your score (only awarded if the minimum score is met).
Check Your Progress on your Front Page

You can check your progress using the Loyalty Challenge panel on your Front Page.



This panel shows you how many Loyalty Points you've earned for the current week, and which gem you're on. One progress marker fills up for each Loyalty Point you earn. When all six are full, the current day's challenge is complete and one third of the current gem will fill.

Have fun earning your gems in November!

As you can see from the list above, it's easy to earn enough points to ensure that you earn your Statue of Horus and if you have all the Ancient Egyptian Relic items you'll be able to get your very own Sphinx.



Now we get to anticipate the first item in an all-new Loyalty Challenge series - I'll be seeing you on the 1st of December with the announcement!

If you take your 3 items "to transform" them into this last item....does that mean you don't have those 3 items anymore?

I kinda would like to keep the 3 items - but I'd like that last one too.

Yes, you lose your 3 loyalty items -- in this case the 3 relics --  if you go to the Combobulator Laboratory and transform them.  You only get to keep the transformed item.

This goes for any set of previous 3 loyalty items as well, if you transform them.

Thanks for the info Astro!  :bighug:

Well, that's a bummer - and we can't do clones for items there  :td:

Be happy we can't do clones ;)  Remember what VFK is like...  :notme:

I do wish we could keep the 3 items, too...but it makes sense that it uses those 3 items to make the 1 big item.

So far, I haven't combined any items.  I love them the way they are ;)

Tip:  You can buy duplicates or the combobulated item from other players.

Thanks Happy!  Right now, I'm uncomfortably low on gold.  Looking for a way to make some instead of paying for it.   :shy:

Remind me please   :waveh:     How many of 1 loyalty item, and 1 transformed item -- are we allowed to have, if we do buy duplicates?  Is it just 2, or unlimited?  I can't remember, and too lazy to look.   Thanks GF   :hug:

I've seen someone with multiples of combobulated items, so I'd be interested in knowing this, too!  I assumed unlimited, but...you know...  :shy:

As I understand it, each account carousel can up to carry 3 (see note below for the specifics) of each un-combobulated item and unlimited qty of the combobulated item.

There is a catch to getting the 3.   :hmmmm:
First the player buys 2, then they earn 1.  The order is key.  
In most cases players have only 2.  One they earn, and later they buy one for cheap.  

Prices seem to drop the 2nd week in the month.  I will say that over time the prices have gone down.  Long ago the monthly items were a steady 3K each and the combined item 9K-10K. Last month I found a genie for 2.8K and another for 2K.
