Will-o'-the-wisp surprised me when he decided to pop out of my second tyches crown! I'm glad he saved some for whatever divine is next in that item that I want lol

I opened 13 tyches but still no Will-o'-the-wisp and still only 1/5 of fragments needed!

Opened 23 more and still nothing. Spent all 7k passes but got nothing

Guys, you only need to open 16 Crowns if you participate in the event.
The price is fixed to 2600p for EVERY event.


If you don't want to take part in the event, that's another matter.

WHY on earth is Misaki set so high in the HoP???!! 33 fragments per HoP is ridiculous, a wild horse is definitely not worth 3000 passes, especially since they go in the reserved sale for 900 (not to mention they USED to be 400-500 passes back in the days...)

3000 passes for a wild is completely insane! I would NEVER pay such a ridiculous price for a wild. Especially considering you won't make back anywhere close to what you spent

I decided to open the one HoP I got from Xanthos this week after using my stash on diplomas and employees last weekend and got Misaki! It's always fun to get a horse on the first try.

Xanthos HoPs are free so I'm not complaining about the wild. If anything, I'm rejoicing because I haven't done so much as look at a wild since they were thrown in the TC/GF and then the reserveds. At least now I can get them completely for free instead. And I won't be surprised if Howrse priced them higher because they know that players stock up on HoPs so they just won't make any money whatsoever if they make them cheap because players will get them with inventory HoPs too easily. That and Howrse has been throwing out cash grabs left, right and center with all the pass weekends, good divines and reserveds lately so... I'm guessing that chucking the wilds in the reserveds didn't do the money magic, so they're in HoPs now. Specifically after diplomas and priced high as another clear cash grab. Sounds like a Howrse thing to do so I'm not surprised.

The wild is free if you saved up. If you have no impulse control and you splurge every week then you shouldn't expect to win any divines at all because lucking out is rare. If you splurged last week then either accept the loss this week or pay up. It takes time to save and you're simply not going to win them all without paying up. I agree that the price is absurd if you pay (almost) completely in passes, but it’s still a free divine if you use Xanthos HoPs. Or you can at least lower the cost with items you got for free. The reserveds force you to pay in passes, and quit frankly the price is more than what you profit. Howrse was lucky if I even clicked the banner for the reserveds - that's how little I cared. But now they're in the HoPs so I might actually try for them. I'm simply not wasting passes on a perk with an expiry date. But putting him in the HoPs immediately makes him worth a few tries - always nice to win a pass dropper for free. And if I don't luck out in those few tries then I'll just try again on the next offer.

Black friday rant:
Happy to say that I lucked out in 5 or 6 HoPs earlier. Which is REALLY lucky because I don't actually have enough HoPs to fill the meter and there's no way in hell I'm spending hundreds of passes on the last few HoPs for a perk with an expiry date. That said, it definitely doesn't make up for all the meters I had to fill...

Opened 7 HoP to get Misaki
Which is nice because I was only going to open seven, and I got it on my last one!
