Getting Started - Welcome Isle

To begin HorseIsle, you first have to pass through 'Welcome Isle'. It is really easy if you talk to Welcome Willy, though a few of my friends gave up on the site because they couldn't figure out how to get off it. If they had this guide before then maybe they would still play (: I'm sure my directions were a bit confusing so I made a map! It is located at the bottom of this post. Have fun!

When you arrive in HorseIsle for the first time, you are put in the middle of welcome isle. Go talk to Welcome Willy who is in the cabin. You can ask him a plethora of questions, but the one that will get you into the game is 'How do I get off this island?'. The answer is you have to go into your tools which are located in the lower right hand corner after clicking the wrench icon. There is a treasure buried in the square directly under the rock where the corner of the grass is, where the red 'X' is on the map. A message should pop up that says 'After digging, you uncovered a Buried Treasure! $1000 was inside. That should be plenty for the boat ride now.' but there is more to do on this little island! Its not required, but it will give you a good little boost towards owning your first horse!

There is a horseshoe crab (who is still somehow horse related :D) named Ebenezer. He is located on where the smiley face is on the map. Talk to him and he will say: "Hey! Watch where you're going! Can't a fellow enjoy a little time on the beach without getting sand kicked in my face or almost getting stepped on by someone like you?"
Talk to him until he asks you to "If you are willing to work a bit...... How about finding me something that will get people's attention? So I don't get stepped on. You do that and I'll make it worth your while -- give you something of value that you could sell for money."

Of course you're going to have to say "I'll try! Ummmm....." or else it'll close out and your back where you started with the conversation.
He tells you that it'll be found to the left of the smaller rocks in the seaweed. Once you rake you'll get 'You carefully rake through the seaweed and see something brightly colored.
You found a Fuchsia Umbrella! This should be perfect for Ebenezer. You grab it and hurry back to show him.' Now all you have to do is go back and find him!

You gave the umbrella to Ebenezer. You earned 10 Pearls.


WOOT! You've got some things to sell for a good pool of starter cash. You'll be getting a horse in no time!
So, if you've pestered Ebenezer enough he'll tell you "Ebenezer: Yes, Roxie. The big tortoise eating the grass somewhere down below the 'Welcome to Horse Isle' sign." So now lets go see what she has to offer!

Okay, of course they have to make it complicated. Shes not directly below the signpost in the middle. If you are standing on top of the post she is two paces down and one to the left(Or you can check out the map! Shes where the turtle is on the map.. or my sad attempt at drawing one haha) Talk to her!
"Welcome visitor! Need help? I'm your gal! I've got a quiz that can earn you valuable ore, but you'd better catch me now. Once you leave this island, you can't come back. Sound interesting?"
Press the top options while talking to her, so basically don't press any of the ones where it says that you have to go. You want to take her quiz! I'll provide the answers, but its pretty much just common sense. (:

Congrats! Your done with all you can do on Welcome Isle. (: Now its finally time to leave the isle. You're more well prepared than when I first started playing already! (The pearls sell for about 2,250) Go on, walk over to the docks and take a boat to Earton!


My second attempt at the map. >.> I put the turtle in the wrong place the first time. haha
