1st Anniversary Part 1 Details

1st Anniversary Part 1 is the opening phase of the global version’s anniversary celebration. This limited-time event is packed with rewards for Trainers who participate in special login campaigns, daily free scouts, and time-limited missions. Throughout the period, players can earn Carats, scout tickets, and upgrade materials simply by logging in and completing standard activities like Career runs and Team Trials.

This part also introduces anniversary shop updates, halved TP costs for Career mode, and increased Daily Race attempts to help accelerate your account progression. Below are the main features of this first anniversary phase.

Login Campaigns and Free Scouts

Part 1 kicks off with generous login rewards and daily free pulls, offering immediate value right from the start.

1st Anniversary Countdown Login Bonus

The Countdown Login Bonus rewards Trainers with free Carats for each day they log in during the campaign. Daily logins grant 150 Carats, allowing players to earn a total of up to 1,500 Carats by logging in for all 10 days.

1st Anniversary Part 1 Daily Free Scout

The Daily Free Scout is a highlight of Part 1, giving Trainers one free single pull per day on selected Spotlight banners. This event covers the Spotlight Pretty Derby Scout (featuring Mejiro Ardan and Admire Vega) and the Spotlight Support Card Scout (a rerun banner featuring Fine Motion and Kawakami Princess). In total, players can get 5 free pulls on the Uma banner and 6 free pulls on the support card banner over the course of the campaign.

Anniversary Missions

Part 1 introduces a set of limited-time missions focused on Career runs and Team Trials. By completing these objectives, active players can earn additional Carats and scout tickets to further boost their celebrations.

Gameplay Boosts

Alongside rewards and missions, Part 1 introduces several buffs designed to make farming and training more efficient during the anniversary period.

Halved TP Costs

As part of Part 1, the TP cost for starting a new Career is reduced to 15 TP per run. This significant buff allows Trainers to play considerably more Career runs compared to the usual cost, making it easier to farm mission objectives, earn rewards, and raise multiple trainees during the event. It’s especially useful for clearing Part 1 missions and stockpiling resources while the bonus is active.

2x Career Mode Rewards!

Part 1 also includes a 2x Career Mode Rewards bonus, effectively doubling the race rewards and completion rewards earned from Career playthroughs. This enhancement makes each run substantially more valuable, allowing Trainers to collect more resources while training their characters as usual.

While certain items like Bond Points and fans are not doubled, the overall boost still makes Career farming far more efficient. Combined with the Halved TP Costs, this bonus creates an ideal environment for resource accumulation during the anniversary period.

Increased Daily Race Tickets

During Part 1, the number of Daily Race Tickets replenished each day increases by three. This gives Trainers more opportunities to enter Daily Races than usual, providing extra chances to farm Monies and Support Points.

Anniversary Shops

Part 1 also expands the shop lineup, allowing Trainers to exchange accumulated currencies for additional gacha tickets and upgrade materials.

1st Anniversary Shop

The 1st Anniversary Shop opens during Part 1 and offers exclusive exchange options beyond the regular shop lineup. Trainers can trade specific currencies such as Friend Points, Club Points, and Monies for valuable items, including SR tickets, Support Card Scout Tickets, and Uma Scout Tickets.

The shop lineup will be updated as later anniversary campaigns roll out, but Part 1 already provides useful exchange options for players looking to convert saved resources into extra pulls and upgrade materials. Some items have exchange limits, so it’s important to plan purchases carefully during the availability period.

Daily Sale Shop

During Part 1, new Star Pieces are added to the Daily Sale Shop lineup. These Star Pieces rotate through the shop and can be purchased using Monies, giving Trainers another way to gradually awaken their Umamusume. Each Star Piece costs 15,000 Monies, and the lineup refreshes with each Daily Sale reset.

This update expands the pool of available Star Pieces, making it easier to collect fragments for specific trainees over time. Since the Daily Sale resets regularly, checking the shop each day increases your chances of finding the Star Pieces you need.

Conclusion

The 1st Anniversary Part 1 campaign serves as a strong opening phase, delivering Carats, free scout pulls, mission rewards, and valuable gameplay boosts. By logging in daily, using all free scouts, clearing the limited-time missions, and taking full advantage of Halved TP and 2x Career rewards, Trainers can maximize their resource gains without excessive grinding.
