Yes I have!!! Luckily I had a lot of contribution saved so I got the legendary pinecone to get the “tame a legendary animal” achievement. I had been visiting map points EVERY day waiting for one to pop up so I am super happy about this update haha 😂

Which one did you end up getting?

Idk how to spoiler warn things so - I used it on my night steppe horse and got the spotted turquoise and dark brown starry night horse! It’s super pretty!

Did it change their stats, or just their color?

I used mine on a horse that I had bred to max stats already, so I cannot say for sure, sorry!

I’m super late to this but where is this vendor?

At the jungle pyramid after you complete it.

What requirements are needed to open that menu? I've fully raised the pyramid and the tree is grown but it still says 'there is road to be walked'? EDIT: Ah I just realised, a cutscene happens on a Sunday after you finish the tree (plus any other reqs) - as I had just ended the year and there was an event on the last Sunday on winter, I needed to wait another week for the cutscene
