so let me get this right the new divine series is just the already existing breed images? no fancy art just here is a PNG of a normal horse model but its "rare". why would you even collect that series of divines when they don't actually look like divines, it seems like laziness to me because why are ya using the same image for a divine that already exists in game

the Ephemerals? They aren't a divine, they're just their own separate thing. But yes, they do look like regular Appaloosas. We son't be able to collect them either, per se. They all leave your farm when the "season" ends, but you do get to keep your highest GP horse if you bred at least 5 foals.

It's really not my cup of tea. I could maybe have been more into it if they did have different art, but even still, it's going to take extra time to earn horseshoes with them everyday.

A quote from the original post:
“When the event is over, the ephemeral horses will take their final bow... but not before leaving you something unforgettable. Your horse with the highest genetic potential will transform into a Heritage horse from a brand-new
series of divine horses. Fully trained, it will be a constant reminder of your success in the event.”

So we do get one that becomes a ‘divine’ but a fairly useless one at that. They will have high GP but unless they get adjusted skills like the Ascent gods do, they will be obsolete rather quickly…

the Ephemerals, that I forgot it did say they become a "divine".

3 Christmas Horses: Glædelig Jul (Rabbit, Parade Apple& Water of Youth), Hyvää Joulua(Stuffed Unicorn, X-mas Equipment Pack & Button plaiting) and Mele-Kalikimaka( Narwal Piñata, Unicorn Wanderers Spirit and Custom Clip), Gold(Precious Metals, offers 70 Passes) and Lug(Celtic, Zeus Lightning Bolt, Lunge and 5 Aging Points)

it seems not

Yes, your highest GP Ephemeral does turn into a "divind" Heritage Horse. There is also a new section in the Special Horses page for them.

They may not be glamorous, but for anyone who does like to complete things, I'll say they are at least easy to get. You just have to produce 5 Ephemeral foals for your highest GP to be turned into a Heritage, which is easily doable in the time frame each season will last. You could push to do it in a couple of days, then ignore the mode the rest of the time if you don't want the horseshoe prizes. Or take it at a more leisurely pace.

If I understand right, that those who are interested in slowly earning some BMI, but don’t need this “special horse”, will still get it?

So, how'd I miss the whole thing about the Ephemerals? Any info on those? I mean mostly why didn't anyone post about them before the discussion about them started, nothing against any of y'all though obviously! Lemme guess, they replace the Ascent because they've gone through all the main Greek Gods (unless they're planning to do Hades but that would be weird after Zeus and don't tell me it's only the Olympus twelve, Hestia isn't one of the main twelve unless I'm wrong, my knowledge of that is Percy Jackson LOL)

This doesn't sound as bad as I thought and I read down the page with the original post (my excuse for missing it is I didn't check forums for a couple weeks and then was too lazy to go back through what I missed). The fact that it's separate APs and stuff makes me feel so much better bc I'm struggling to have enough APs for my team BLUPs w/o spending it on this, + the fact that covering fees double won't stop the top players but it might slow them down and give the rest of us more of a chance(nothing against them they work hard and pay a lot to be where they are) (also I still won't have a chance who am I kidding). Also, am I right on the fact that the devs basically said Zeus finishes, then Ephemerals, then new series, then Athena, Ephemerals, new series, and repeat? I honestly like that better than now, more variety and I get to get new divines + get the past Olympus divines as well. Any idea if the old Greek Gods + the new boss series will still have the same system with earning frags for other divines as well? (I know no more pass divines which makes me kinda mad but it's also a game and I don't spend money on it so it doesn't drive me as crazy)

Crookedstar915: Okay I figured I had a 50/50 shot of being wrong Thanks for clarifying!

I read somewhere that there is 3 weeks until the last ascent finishes and we move onto the ephemerals - but in my ascent Zeus is still around for 33 more days, but the horses of the moment are only around for 12 more? Are we getting new horses of the moment before the ascent goes?

I would assume yes. They seem like they're going to implement the new changes to ascent AFTER Zeus ends (unless they changed their minds). From the Devs' Q&A - December 2025:

Once the Greek Gods of the Olympus are done with Zeus, will they start again with Athena, so anyone who didn’t get her has the chance, while everyone who already won her gets to start immediately with 25 fragments of the side divines in the Boss Room? Or how will it work?

� Yes and no. We are going to try something new with the Ascent once the Zeus season is done. We are not satisfied with the current version of this mode, as too few players play it each season.
Starting in January, we are going to make the mode intermittent. This means that right after the Zeus season is done, you will not be able to play the Ascent for 3 weeks. Then we will inaugurate a new boss series for a 3-week season. Then there will be another 3 weeks without Ascent, then there will be a "rerun" season with the old Greek gods' series starting again from the top, meaning Athena. Then 3 weeks off, then a new boss from the new series, etc. We are going to try this approach and see if it performs as well as we'd like. We don't expect it to be the final form of the Ascent of Olympus as there are other changes we'd like to make that will have to come later.
