I've been told you get the PM asking you to take the tester survey (which I've seen, I filled out the survey) somewhat randomly for being active and helpful and responsive in the forums.

the love divines will be available in the HOPs, while the new divine from the Great Challenge will be the one in the Golden Fleece? I just want to make sure, since I've been saving my HOPs so I can complete my collection.

It's not a spoiler anymore, so its not issue, but they locked the upcoming changes forum and I have some questions.

Is the Yggdrasil worth it? I know getting him in the first place is, for the trophy points and ect.

But is it worth it to kill off horses to get the BMI?

I dont know everything about the horse yet, so the rates might change as it ages, but as of right now, you're only getting 27 years for every horse over 25 that you kill. Even for the first BMI, which is a Black orchid, that would mean 10 horses to get the total 250 years.

If this rate doesn't change, then in order to get to the bottom, the full 150,000 years, then it would take over 5500 horses. Which is insane for what is at MOST a 10 old/ 1000 new pass item and that number is pushing it.

Even if that's not the case and the years granted per horse killed off, then it still doesn't seem all that worth. Is it better to just sell the horses off for profit?
There is indeed a event topic for the new change, but the horse ages depending on how many years old the horse sent to heaven is.

It just depends on how you see it. For some people, they'll just continue to send their AP farming horses to Heaven when they reach 30, and then they'll get prizes every so often from Yggdrasil. Others will sell them off like they sold pass horses. But the update is only a day old, so there's really no telling yet what the market price will be like for mortal 25+ horses. It'll probably be lower than the 250,000-300,000 equus for a pass horse, but there may be enough demand that players can still get 100,000+ equus for them. It'll just depend on what is more valuable to you personally and how many horses you want to take care of each day.

It should be tomorrow, because usually we start new events on a Thursday. (From my speculation.)

The new divine, Aengus, will definitely be available in the GF. We are presuming the Love divines will be available in HoPs around Valentine's day because that is how they are usually released, but we didn't test it so we can't be 100% sure they won't change anything.
The two new Love divines will also be prizes in the Heart Battle but only 1st to 10th will win Ti Amo and 1st to 20th will get Kocham Cię, so most of us will have to rely on HoPs if we want to get them.

Gripe. What about us ? The mere mortals (those without deep pockets) who toil every day over our horses. This challenge is actually heartbreaking. Yes I am speaking of yggy.
I have a horse who is a 27 year old mare with a pet dog in the game. Do I buy another or feed yggy. And ten horses. The price on older horses has skyrocketed. It's a closed challenge. Only those with ap farms or deep pockets have a prayer of getting the divine. Why not just put a sign up saying go away or come back if you can pay.
I apologize a lot of it is frustration. That and I lost my female winged Percheron. I also know that I probably will not get a love divine. Nobody ever offers me one.

@Gandalf

It only takes 1 horse to get the divine, it just needs to be over 25. This is actually easier than aging it to 30 to be a pass horse.

The Yggy rewards were not intended to be a compensation for pass horse earnings. Instead, they give rewards to people who routinely send a ton of horses to heaven, or who already have hundreds just sitting around because there was a cap on pass horses. The rewards aren’t alone worth all of the horses it takes to get them, because it makes it more fair for those of us who will choose not to use him. Nothing is forcing you to get Yggy, and nothing is forcing you to continue to send horses to heaven to age him. Most of his prizes are achievable by other means. It’s all up to you what you do with your game resources.

No, it hasn't. It has dropped *significantly*. A pass horse used to 300k at least. At the moment, the cheapest 30-year-old horse in the sales is 185k, and a 25-year-old horse (the age you need for Yggdrasil) is 150k. They are still expensive, yes, but the price has definitely dropped, not risen. They are expensive because you are paying for the time someone else has taken to age them; if you don't want to pay then you can always raise your own. Or just don't bother - Yggdrasil's prizes are so few and far between that you really won't be missing much compared to someone who is ageing him.

You have the same chance to get a Love divine as everyone else does. You can stroke 5 Xanthos a day to have a chance of winning free HoPs, which you can then save until Valentine's when the Love divines will be made available in HoPs. You can also save up your passes from objectives you complete so you have those to spend.
You are very unlikely to win divines just by waiting for one to be given to you (even the divines that are given away monthly have very low odds because of the sheer number of people who have a horse called Junior Croesus or defrost Frost etc.), but that doesn't mean you can't work towards getting one. Howrse is a management sim - plan ahead and manage your resources to have the best chance of earning what you want.

thank you bezo93
Sorry if I seemed bitter and frustrated. I just have a very low level of tolerance for futility.
And I don't like it when horses I have cared for up and die on me.
So yes, I was lashing out. And I wasn't doing that to feed Yggy!
Some of the horses I could use to get him have either a pet (which I collect) or have they have p.stones.
And I know this is all about planning but some times it seems you gotta have Trump sized wealth for the game. I don't have that sized wealth in passes or cash. I spend it all on my horses or EC. I apologize if I seemed so bratty.
But having divine horses is like being acknowledged by the cool kids in school: something you want even though you feel jealous even though you try hard to cover up how hurt you are. I will try again, to save passes but I don't think I can. I have managed to whittle the breed coats down to only a few for each breed. Again I apologize for my gripe.

Does anyone know when the next chance to get a divine will be, what divine, and if it will be a Titan's Challenge, HoP, or Golden Fleece?
By Retired breeder, 31st January 2019 06:08:44
No, Noone knows
@Gandulf

I would just lie to point out that most of my divines are through sheer hard work. Ok, I spent an odd £1.20 here and there on passes. However the sleigh ride I spent no real money because I can afford at the moment yet I still managed to get 3 divines - Gingerbread, Snow and Prancer. Ok, given Prancer is slightly useless but he is still divine. You have to be patient. Save up HOP'S and TC'S so you have a good chance in getting one - if not oh well try again next time!

You send ONE horse to heaven over 25, you get the divine. Its not hard to get him. But to get his prizes yes. And no its crazy for even us top players to get all his gifts, its meant to be a long term reward. Like a senority kind of thing. Not a greedy grab to get all his gifts immediately. Sure you can do that but itll cost you a lot.

Ive personally been on the game for YEARS. And intend to continue ageing and killing them off as they age naturally, every so often getting gifts. Not intentionally killing off 3300 horses just to get a gift. Its a long term thing guys, something to do in your spare time, not a challenge everyone has to do.
Like coat collecting or anything else, its an aspect of the game not everyone will partake in.

I get that you're frustrated, but it's actually very possible to get divines for free. On the other server I play on I have eight divines and wild horses, and I got them through petting five Xanthos a day every day. I have also got some TC's from events. Don't give up, you will eventually win something.
