Wowwww

I'd like to have some of them too!

The valuable divines like Jade, Balios and Croesus are most likely only going to be offered on a high level of the TCs. They do get placed in the Fleece on some occasions (Croesus was in the Fleece in August, and Jade was in the Fleeces in 2016. That was prior to fragments, so I'm not sure if that's even relevant now).

Up until recently, the pattern I always followed was to look at what item the rest of that divine's set was offered in that cycle. Divines of the same set were almost always in the same item.

That pattern still sometimes holds true (looks to the Wind divines that have mostly been in HoPs, Wilds in Reserved Sales), but not as often as it used to. The event divines have thrown many hitches in the pattern. Can't have a weekend Gemstone in the TC if it's already occupied by an event divine, so it's thrown into Fleeces instead. There could have been an entirely different reason that choice was made though. The most recent cycle of the Solars and Gemstones had them both split between TCs and Fleeces.

They're not as predictable as they used to be.

Thanks Legacy Ann for your detailed answer, that is a bit more clear to me now. You'd have to be on the game for way more years than I have to know all this (like you have ).

I remember having Thor (and Loki at the same time but I only had the money for one) in a reserved sale a couple of months ago, for 1200 passes if I recall correctly. That must have been an exception then, as they are no wilds.

I really hope Sapphire will come back some day soon. I have 745 fragments of him and then just missed him, aaahhh it still hurts
I'd prefer Fleeces but I think he was in TC's...

According to Howrse's Twitter, Sapphire was in Fleeces back in July (a surprise, as I expected a TC offer), so it's unlikely he'll be offered for awhile.

Which brings up the issue of frequency of appearance. Most often Howrse will cycle through the entire set before offering it again. And then it's unknown when the set will next cycle through. I think the Chinese or Rainbows or something recently cycled through twice within
1-2 years. But it once took the Solars 3 years between two of their appearances.

Divines within a set also used to appear more regularly. For awhile one of the Egyptians appeared every 1-2 months, but it's been...August, maybe? since we've last seen an Egyptian.

Was there a Black Friday sale on VIP last year..? Kinda holding out for that lol

Some players didn't have the offer available to them, but others reported they did. I'm not sure if it was at limited times throughout the day, or just not offered to everyone for some reason. I did check frequently all day and weekend and never had a discount though.

It might've been the night before. Thanksgiving night. But I am not sure. This year is going to be stressful...

Sorry I totally misundersttod your question. Legacy Ann already answered but yes, some people did.

They haven't had one in TWO years. No Black Friday nor March Spring deals.

Yes I got it last year. A discount on one month of VIP. I could swear I got it the year before as well. Must be as Legacy said, only some players got the offer for some reason.

Oh that's absolutely possible, I haven't seen one in ages, of course

You're right, it was the Fleeces, I remembered later but my message was already sent
Well... wait and see then, and dream of Sapphire every now and then

Lovely Blue came by recently and so did Mercury, so maybe more Rainbows or Solars could be expected, you mean?

Mercury was a strange one because the solars had only just finished their rotation, and it appears that he's signalling the start of a fresh cycle with all of the others left to come even though it was three years between the last rotation and the one before.

Lovely Blue was the first rainbow to be in luck items for over a year so its likely that they are starting a new cycle and we'll see one in luck items every 1-2 months.

I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled then.

i don't know if i've missed something but

I wouldn't mind

I think the rule of thumb is that wishing for a divine's return means it will take its sweet time getting here

Ignore it, and it will come

Happens to me all the time
