It went for 9 900 000. Sadly, I didn't get him even though he was available for 5-7 seconds (not milliseconds like golds&diamonds) because I was hesitating to sell my resources as I was also aiming to get rid of Equus eventually, so that my coverings costs could sink. I wasn't quick enough to get the Equus and go back to buying him

Nothing but disappointment for me today! default smiley (li)
I got all bronze and silver cards yet again… all duplicates and I can’t trade because I’ve collected them all… I’m desperate for my last gold and diamond cards!! I need the diamond from the “special horses” set & the gold from the “Features” set…
I’ve also not gotten the diamond prize card for the Staff nor the gold prize card for the fireworks fragments…
My anxiety is getting worse by the day!!!

I’ve won Viginti (woo) but I’m not quite sure how the mechanism of collection works. Since there’s only 20 collections permitted, are you able to stack up your objective passes beyond one month to get a bigger payout? Or do you have to collect once per month?

Also, I get you can only collect 20 times in total because howrse is celebrating 20 years, but wouldn’t it have been better to make the collections unlimited? I’m not particularly keen to have a sit there divine to look pretty like the wild horses are after 80 years of age. I’d much rather have a functional divine like the rainbow series that have weekly rewards, or even the Christmas series which only have big payouts once per year and smaller ones per month. Just seems a bit odd to make a divine redundant after a while to me, especially considering some divines are so useful that it doesn’t make sense to completely under-power or turn some useless. Sorry for the complaint, I would just simply like to know the thought process / reasoning behind these kinds of designs/choices.

BellBlue, I have Quindecim and I believe both anniversary horses work the same way. You only get 20 collections (15 with Quindy) after those collections are used he is useless. You can only collect on the 8th of each month, but if you collect on 9/8 you get double the passes. You never need to collect, you can just let the earned passes accumulate. For example I have only collected from my Quindy once because I don’t work my horses regularly and don’t do a good job of completing my daily objectives, so I am saving my collections for good payouts. If you only collect on 9/8 for double passes, Viginti will last (be useful) for 20 years. Hope this helps clear things up.

there are a lot of divines that don't do much other than act like regular horses. or what they do do is so stingy it's not really worth it.

This is the issue I have with a lot of the Divines too. I don't understand why not make their perks unlimited and let them count towards prestige if even just a tiny bit. After a while they are just horses that look pretty and we can get that with the golden apple. Most of them probably should have just been special coats or wandering horses at this point.

The anniversary Divines are more useful imo than something like the Winds or Wilds, where the amount you'll get from them is hard-set. There *is* a limit with the anniversary ones, but you're somewhat in control of it because there's no necessity to collect and you can basically just let them stack up for years if you please. Really depends on your patience and play style.

Very true. Plus it's most optimal to collect from these divines just once a year anyway, when the passes are doubled on Sept 8. So players who are willing to wait can collect hundreds of passes every year for twenty years.

I'd love if they were truly unlimited, but the anniversary divines are still really good the way they are.

I only need one gold card, which I'll wait patiently for, since Viginti only gives 2p a day anyway. default smiley ^) Since he only gives a max of 1460p for each Sep 8 collection, it's not the most worthwhile to spend passes for so early in my opinion especially since the chance of getting a gold or diamond gift card is next to nothing, but others are free to try their luck. default smiley :-))

Anyway, does trading a card always give you a card you don't have? At least, that's what it's been like in my experience. default smiley ;) If so, then any gold card works since I have all but the puzzle one! default smiley (7) (Well, probably not, because the gold gift cards are valuable, too, so we'll see. default smiley (b) )

Need 3 golden cards left to finish everything...
Fingers crossed

I know I complained in the past about Diamond cards being too rare, this time around they drop easier than the gold ones default smiley (o)

I dont get why we dont get to collect passes if you get multiples. Its dumb. I have 2 extras of viginti and they won't collect any passes ever. I cant sell them and they are useless.

It's dumb to expect such high paying and easy to get divine to have perk thats multiply for each of the same one. Howrse allowing us to get more then one is just lazy work, someone could not bother apparently

I only need 3 gold puzzle cards to get Viginti. Wouldn't you know it? I got the same prize card twice. When I traded the second, I got my last prize card! I hope I can get just one more gold because I am waiting to use my 2 gold jokers. default smiley :o

Completely finished all the cards. Ended up with 4 Fleeces (got lucky on the Joker front) and 2 Staffs. I've gotten nearly 700 fragments for Fireworks and I want him very badly for her is beautiful. Time will tell if I sink money into him. Tried with Crowns with no luck, as is usual.

I just need 2 diamond cards and a silver card to finish. I have a silver joker to use if I don't get the one im missing though, so really all I need are the two diamonds. They've been elusive this entire event, so I'm doubting completion without buying packs.

Finally got something good today!! I got the gold card for the “features” category and got Petit default smiley (l)
Still desperate for the last diamond card to complete the “special horses “ set and get the divine!
All my other cards today were useless duplicate cards other than getting another Golden Fleece card… I’ll take that as a win I guess… but I’m still nervously waiting to get that last diamond card!!

I got the last card for petit without having to trade again and the anniversary divided be. I like falkabellas because they are cute. I personally wish they were not sellable but not everyone likes them or finds them useful. They help with one objective if they can trigger the bonus.

Thank you so much for the advice RosemarE5! I’ll definitely do this to try and maximise what I can ◡̈

So true, Hiram Farmer. I have two wind divines and it takes too much effort to get their meters full (since I wait for +7 wind) before sending them off to get a gift, so most of the time I just skip past them. I also find the mechanism for the story/fairytale divines quite cumbersome. I enjoy the metallic series however (probably because there’s no age limit to their collections).

I think that’s a really good point otulissa. I would be happy with them if I could sell them like harlequin.

Just need my last diamond for Petit to get Viginti… Haven’t gotten one for a week now lol. I hope IF I get a diamond that it won’t be the staff, in that case I’d still need 2 diamonds these last few days to finish without spending passes… default smiley :o default smiley (h) getting more and more nervous haha

I still need 3 diamond puzzle cards. have an extra staff I can trade. I'm going to be beyond unhappy if I can't get Vigniti. I've even already spent 190passes on 2 card packs last weekend and still don't have them. I have gotten EVERY other card I am allowed. It should NOT be this hard to get this horse.

The Diamonds are unfortunately pretty rare. default smiley :s I had to buy like 18 packs to get the 2 I needed, just to give you a small idea of how much you might need to spend.

I mean, I'll make it back up eventually and I think it was ultimately worth it for him, but yeah he can be around 2000 passes or more with the discount. I think part of what's frustrating about it for me is that there's such a huge randomness factor, some people got him for free easily and others had to spend even more than I did.
