Well that's a shocker. I managed to snag a love horse. i am rather pleased.

12 hours in, and I've already gotten two divines to work towards trophies I haven't gotten yet. I'm thrilled

Every single year we complain about a relative drought in the euro morning time zones and every year this game continues to do this nonsense? It's not right that divines are released in disproportionate batches.

I was about to say the exact same thing. I'm in a country where the auctions keep coming during the day, but I am mostly active during the early hours. It's honestly frustrating that there are barely any auctions. I'm trying my luck at a cheap one so that I can add points to the meter, but there's no auctions to be found, at least not ones that I can get with my current reserve unless I get lucky.

Yeah I also find it strange how many stretches there are without a single divine tbh. I would have liked to splurge for something nice if they were on!

How many hours you would then get with one extra hour? 5?

Also why would you give a wind the Water of Youth? What good does it do?

Thanks!

caught seth that's me done for the weekend

Winds only give prizes until age 3100, so if you put a WOY on, it effectively doubles your working time

Exactly! I feel so stupid! I My oldest wind is now 3060 and until now I hadn't understood this! I gave him now a WoY, so he will be productive at least a bit longer.

Thank you for that piece of info!

Why are there any times where auctions aren't occuring? Surely it makes sense to have auctions going continuously? This is the international server, all timezones are active here.

About divine horse collections

Do you get some sort of a reward for completing a collection or is the collecting basically for fun only?

I know completing the Horses of the Rainbow collection will get you a Secret Rainbow, though. What about the other collections?

There's a few others that have horses you only get from completing them. Gems have Diamond, Solar Systems have Moon (I think?) Plants have Lotis, Water Divines have Brook. Some collections there isn't anything, though.

Solars have Sun, the most valuable best boy (except from Jade, obviously. )

I managed to get Oyster Mushroom for around 4.6 mil in auction. This is my first mushroom divine. I needed one for trophies. A bargain for sure!

You're lucky! I had my eye on him for the past two days and it's torture, hopefully I'll get that luck too

Although for me I didn't even see his price before he was picked up in directs

I've been thinking about how difficult it is to get anything in the Direct sales for many of us and wonder if Howrse might think about making it possible for each of us to buy just one divine of our own choice for a set passes price ie, we select from all the divine series the one we'd like to buy and the price is set. For ease of managing it, I'd think the price would be the same whatever we choose.

I suspect most senior players, like me have many divines so the reserved sales aren't as attractive as they are to newer people and allowing just this one chosen sale would be great to help us get that one divine we just haven't managed yet but long for. It would be fair inasmuch as everyone is able to buy or save up passes whatever their seniority and would make the sales much less frustrating for those of us who never even see the direct sales, let alone get a chance to click to buy.

My internet is awful and yesterday due to a storm it went out . I have seen a couple of divines that I would honestly pay more than the prices in directs for.

What if for every divine offered we had the option of going for in auctions, or directs at the discounted price, but we also get to maybe pick 2-4 divines from reserved sales that aren't part of the rotation?

And then beyond that we can get divines from reserved at their full price. I would be fine with that instead of setting my alarm to 4am and praying that I get Seth in one of the ungodly hour offerings

Just tried for the one divine I've wanted for ages. Howrse is usually quite quiet at this time of day and I actually saw the buy button for once and clicked immediately but, no, someone else was faster as always.

Same happened to me just now. I did how ever not even see the buy button before the direct sale was over

Odd, the directs were a lot quieter earlier. I even got a Divine in one (Kabuki) which I honestly did not expect, but there were even others just... sitting there, not being bought, for at least an hour or so.

The auctions also haven't been nearly as bad as I was expecting, I still haven't got a Love Divine like I was hoping (I know it's unlikely at my reserve) but I did get Irene Adler for around 4 and a half million, and she's my first VA dropper and a Divine I can use for the trophies.

four hours since my last post and still nothing much in sales, thanks Howrse, great "international" sense of community

good luck! he's 2,369 passes... and looking at my pass history, it seems I actually did get in the running for a Seth yesterday too, the passes got debited and re-credited

also in my pass history is a mystery 1,564 pass debit and credit for flash sales, I don't even remember what I was clicking on

I have quite a few divines sitting at about 900 points or so. I know we've had divine fragments in sales before and it didn't go very well, but it would have been really nice to have batches of like 50 or 100 points that we could buy and put towards divines of our choice. Or even if it's like, a divine series, like 50 points to a solar divine of our choice type of thing.

Or if we could select a divine that we could work towards instead of being assigned a divine, like instead of Saffron, I would have preferred a solar divine, with the option to buy said divine at the end for a set pass or equus price depending on how many fragments I'd gathered for it over the course of the event.

Saying that, I'm back to picking up some handy duplicates instead of going for ones that I don't have.

How are people so fast at direct sales??? It is physically not possible to click faster, I'm starting to think it's like, multiple people clicking at the same time and then one is chosen randomly lol

There is a knack to it, but it can very much depend on your reflexes and your internet speed, as others have said.

I think I’ve been extremely lucky so far. I’ve managed to snatch one horse in auction finally and I’ve got my eye on one more, fingers crossed im lucky enough to get it.

And also got two from directs i managed to save up enough passes to get the horses I want without worrying about price. I’ve had to set alarms for the times wanted horses are for sale and literally tap my screen like a mad woman when the times on the last few seconds.

For my first time experiencing the sale it’s absolutely mental, I can’t believe how expensive some of the horses have sold for in auctions. It’s a crazy rat race although it’s frustrating I am enjoying the chaos. Least now I know what’s coming next year so can start saving and prepping earlier to maybe win a few more auctions
