I'm not sure if I'm going for the divine yet. I was thinking that the perk is a bonus pack, it doesn't seem worth it using up HoPs or spending passes. It's likely you could exchange 1 HoP for 2 Bonus Packs.

many players will want Ptah (me included) to complete the set and get Ra. And Ptah is almost definitely cheaper in this promo than it probably will be in luck items/reserved sales.

I'm pretty sure lyrael posted not too long ago saying it could possibly be done with 17 passes (using passes for pollen and HOPs) - But this could change. It will cost less for those of us who find more pollen in UFOs, use diamonds, and use HOPs from our inventories.

The special offer of this promo is the Pollen Pack, which will be available during the second and last weekend of the event.

Price: 1 pass
Contains:
- 6 x red pollen
- 6 x blue pollen
- 6 x purple pollen
- 6 x orange pollen
- 6 x yellow pollen

=====

For cheapest way to finish you MUST make sure you can use all of the pollen you get in pollen packs. You can't use pollen on horses that are finished, so make sure you have horses of all pollen colours left!

The pass hogs of this promo are Brimstone (open Horns of Plenty) and Leopard Scribonia (use pollen on horses). They both use Yellow Pollen.

=====

The cheapest way:
- 6 HoPs and 11 Pollen Packs = 17 passes total

11 Pollen Packs equals

Yellow Pollen
6 x 11 = 66 Yellow pollen -> use 64 on Brimstone, 2 on Scribonia -> 21,2 points to Scribonia.

Red, Blue, Orange and Purple Pollen, use on any horse of the right colour
6 x 11 x 4 = 264 pollen x 0,3 = 79,2 points to Scribonia

=> 79,2 + 21,2 = 100,4 points to Scribonia.

Finishing Brimstone
6 x 6 = 36 points from HoPs, add 64 from Yellow Pollen
= 100 points to Brimstone

=====

As long as you can use 263 out of 264 of the red/orange/blue/purple pollen from the packs, you can get enough points to Scribonia.

Pollen won from UFOs may bring down the amount of pollen packs you need to buy. Or not. Depends on your UFO luck.

(Alternatively, use 12 Pollen Packs and 5 HoPs. That gives you a bit more leeway with how to use the pollen, but you may also end up with a pile of unnecessary pollen.)

=====

From each group below, select at least one horse that you "save up" for the pollen from pollen packs. You will have 66 pollen of each colour to use. You can also spread the pollen around to several horses of the colour group.

1 pollen = 1 point.

Purple Pollen
* Daggerwing: Give mashes to horses (10 points each)
* Orange Tip: Gift items to your friends (17 points each)
* Poplar Admiral: Do foal games (1 point / 30 min play)

Red Pollen
* Swallowtail: Stroke Horses in Safe Haven (6 points each)
* Glasswing: Log in for the first time of the day (6 points each)
* Blue Icarus: Donate Horses to Ow (12 points each)

Blue Pollen
* Death's Head: Give apples to other players' horses (1 point each)
* Red Admiral: Take horses for rides (point amount varies?)

Orange Pollen
* Monarch: Remove the wings from Pegasi or winged Unicorns (5 points each)
* Blue Menelaus: Take part in competitions (point amount varies)
* Tailed Jay: Give birth to unicorns (12 points each)

Once you have used all the right colour pollen, finish the horses up by doing their tasks.

3rd Yellow Pollen Horse:
Spanish Moon - Objective: Age 5 horses to 50 years

There's 3 ways to do this:

1) 5 Immortal horses, pile of aging points.
- pros: easy to do, just keep aging
- cons: needs lots of aging points

2) 5 Mortal horses with Morpheus' Arms
- pros: saves on aging points, doubles as pass horses
- cons: will require Black Orchids to restore horse's health a few times. You may accidentally kill the horse if you mess up.

(of course, you can also do a mix of mortal and immortal horses)

3) One horse (mortal or immortal) and a Cloud Pack
- pros: you need to just age one horse to 50 years, use a cloud piece to de-age, then age it up again. You won't be using the entire Cloud Pack either, so you can then sell the horse to someone else to do the same process.
- cons: requires using a Cloud Pack, which is 5 passes and requires Pegasus or VIP account. Normal Pieces of Clouds can't be used on horses over the age of 30, but PoCs from Cloud Pack can.

Great Challenge / Lottery

There are 16 Wandering Horses, and one divine.

To get the divine, you would need to spend passes. However, some of the Wandering horses you can get for no passes! That's right! **no passes**! They stay on your account for five days, and when they leave they give you some special gifts!

This post will cover what is needed to get the no pass Wandering Horses!

*** Disclaimer: Your ability to get these horses will differ upon the Wandering Horse and the items that you have on your account. All of these can possibly be won with NO PASSES spent on the promo itself, however, you may need to spend other resources.


Ones that you can possibly get for free:

Blue Icarus


Blue Menelaus


Brimstone


Daggerwing


Death's-head


Dynamine


Glasswing


Monarch


Orange Tip


Poplar Admiral


Red Admiral


Spanish Moon


Swallowtail


Tailed Jay



How to get each one:

(Level of difficulty to get it for free:

Objective: Donate horses to Ow - 12 points per horse donated
(It will take 5 donated horses to get this Wandering Horse.)

*** Blue Menelaus:

*** Brimstone:
Objective: Open Horns of Plenty - 6 points per Horn of Plenty opened
(You would need to open 17 HoPs. HoPs can be won from Xanthos, but it is unlikely that you'd have so many in your inventory.)

(10 mashes required.)

*** Red Admiral:
Objective: Take horses for rides (Percentage seems to differ among people. However, for me, it shows around .2 points per 30 minutes of rides, which would equal around 15,000 minutes of rides to get this horse for free. 250 hours of rides.)

many players will want Ptah (me included) to complete the set and get Ra. And Ptah is almost definitely cheaper in this promo than it probably will be in luck items/reserved sales.

I'm pretty sure lyrael posted not too long ago saying it could possibly be done with 17 passes (using passes for pollen and HOPs) - But this could change. It will cost less for those of us who find more pollen in UFOs, use diamonds, and use HOPs from our inventories.

Good point about those finishing the set.

Also, I thought about this after posting, the individual prizes are good, plus whatever BMIs from opening HoPs.

I think I might be able to get all of the Wandering Horses and the Divine without purchasing passes, since I've been saving up the ones you get for free and from pass horses, but I don't think I will. I'd be cutting it close, and I think I'd rather wait for a divine that I want more than Ptah. It's also very unlikely that I'll ever get all of the Egyptian divines to get Ra, but I was able to get Osiris!

So I'll just enjoy whatever Wandering Horses that I get for free

Will we be able to use diamonds for the pollen packs?

it's worth buying the pollen packs on the first week they come out, rather than the second week?

My reasoning is that we'll then give all of the pollen away without (hopefully) finishing some of the wanderers, and we won't risk not having any horses of a specific colour to give pollen to. And personally, I don't want to hold off from unlocking any of them since none of them can be fully completed with just pollen (except Scribonia, of course), and I would rather have a constant flow of points going into those wanderers since some require a lot of work (removing wings from pegasi, many hours of foal games, etc).

So if we buy the packs on the first week, it will be a more relaxing promo for the remaining time rather than rushing to get it all done within the last couple of days... Or so I think.
