They could be difficult to buy due to the format, which was a Flash Sales, and also auctions. And you'd sometimes have to wait hours for the divine you wanted to show up. If you had a good internet connection and were fast at clicking then you could get a few divines over the weekend. There were limits to how often we could purchase a divine though. I think it was every 12 hours for each sale type, maybe? I thought the prices were the majority of divines were great though. Those Sleipnirs or Xanthos of the first year being one exception

*flashbacks*

How much notice did they give us last year, anyone remember? I thought it was 2 weeks but yesterday was the two week mark

Last year the first hint was dropped in the november tuesday spoiler, november 2nd

november 3rd*, not second

*Has Rongo flashbacks* Two days. No sleep. Only 9 Rongos in the whole event.

But to be fair, they never give Spoilers during the weekend (because they don't work, and the Twitter posts are pre-recorded and rolled automatically), so if they want to give us anything it'll be this week.

I'm too impatient for this

Same...Sunday is so...long..then it might not even come Monday!

Event after Equestrian Hike:

Just wanted to say that no, they didn't.
They NEVER let us test something like that. The ONE picture we had was because somebody from the Spanish preprod managed to steal one before they realized what they had live for less than a minute.

Nope. Not tested at all. Other testers will confirm.

And since you're doubting, or we wouldn't be here,

Here .

All we had. ONE screen from Caballow, which was deactivated one minute later. If we had tested it, we would have told you, I promise.

I could have sworn there was a spoiler and people had tested the event. Guess not though. But I do remember people saying that they had tested it. But maybe that was 2 years ago.

I don't recall testing the Black Friday sales either of the years we've had it. The only forewarning we had was the Admin forum post or social media, besides the preprod snippet Nalu mentioned.

I remember everyone kind of fumbled around a bit in the beginning both years because we had no clue what we were doing

We did not test any of the Black Friday event, or we'd have been waaaaaay more prepared.

Last year at least, there was Flash Sales, like the ones in card events. Direct sales went for passes and auctions were equus. The year before that I think they popped up randomly in normal sales, Im sure someone knows more about that then me

We've no idea how it will work this year (if we have it at all), because it's been different both years we've had it.

Last year there were various divines in the Flash Sales and auctions. The Flash Sale divines were for passes, the auctions for equus, and the flash sale prices were rather decent. Divines would appear on a dedicated flash sales page throughout the day. You'd see a divine picture and name with a little countdown on it, and when the countdown ended and the divine showed up you just had to be really quick to purchase it before anyone else. There wasn't a schedule of divines, so we never knew which would be offered when. You just had to keep checking the page. There were limits to how often you could purchase a divine. I think it was once every 12 hours per sale type?

It lasted Black Friday weekend which would be Nov. 26-28 this year, if we consider it Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

For the first year, the sales were only one day, and it was more scheduled. A dozen or so divines would pop in the regular direct sales every hour, and there were no purchasing limits.

I am thoroughly prepared to stay up late with you again this year... especially since I have college applications to finish and the University of California schools' applications are due on the 30th.

I hope they bring back the purchasing limits on Black Friday this year but allow us to see the divines go through the sales even if we can't purchase. It'll prevent the event thread from getting clogged with updates.

I just went on a buying spree on preprod and here's what I've found:

I vaguely remember
