finally a promo where I don't have to care. But knowing howrse they'll probably do a weekend promo where there's a divine in the titans challenge or golden fleece or something and I'll end up bankrupt anyway. All these back to back promos and deals are really exhausting me.
This has been a year where promo/divine selection has or should have been your first priority.

Not every weekend special has been worth it or useful or reasonable to get.

Not every main promo has been helpful to you individually or to your account nor even wanted.

So managing your resources has been paramount to having a successful year.

The year is drawing to a close, so nice to have a less stressful promo after the Wandering Horse one and a preparation to what is usually a busy time of the year ( in real and Howrse life).default smiley :)

Whew. A promo that only requires like, 2 minutes to do! I really liked potions and the wanderers, but itwill be nice to relax.
Does Howrse do special promos for holidays? Besides the holiday packs.


I guess it depends on what you mean by 'special' the Holiday packs are really their own special thing, and it is each player's choice whether to take advantage of them or not. Typically the promo that runs through December is holiday themed with prizes kinda sorta in the past centered around the 24th/25th of the month? It has really more just been a small 'gimmick' for the holiday promo that does not really affect anything.

Last year was a toss up in terms of likability for the holiday promo. It was admittedly fairly pass heavy, but the rewards of spending those passes kinda of equaled out? It was the first promo in years that offered Balios as a prize, and a variety of other Divines people had wanted, but it was a sizable investment to get those divines.

You could like always get a nice little pile of gifts for free, and if you did a lot of resource management could sorta handpick your prizes and get what you wanted, but it took planning and there was some frustration in a few of the mechanics.

It was not by any means a terrible promo overall, but like all promos, it did require passes, and I doubt we will ever see one where that is not an issue. I would just recommend to players save your passes, your luck items and see what it is first, then decide if what is offered is worth the investment. Me? I walked out with my first Balios and Winter an a few other little bonus items. My Balios alone has paid for himself, and I spent a decent of amount of saved resources on it.

We also have typically a Halloween themed promo so from now to the end of the year those two will probably dominate the "holidays".default smiley :)

Cool! I won't probably ever get a divine ( unless I get ridiculously lucky. Yeah rightdefault smiley (lol)), but the BMIs are usually worth it to participate in promos. Hope I get a GA from one of them!
Thanks mods!!
*Wriggles in excitement looking forward to the Halloween and Xmas promos* I LOVED the two they had for those holidays last year and I got my first Balios as well. I can't wait to see what they roll out this year! default smiley (7)

holiday packs are a version of buying passes except that you get extra "presents". originally there were 2 packs the smaller cheaper one you could choose from a group of divines (cant remember which one) and the larger more expensive one you got a greyfell and could choose any other divine on the game. the last 2 years it has been 4 different packs with the chance to get greyfell, a choice of a mythological divine and 2 new divines. you also get passes and a chance at APs, equus, VIP and titans challenges all depending on the pack u choose....personally im hoping they go back to being able to choose any divine on the game especially since they are reintroducing them on the game this year default smiley ;)

It should be noted, for those wondering, and anyone considering who has not seen them before, these packs do cost actually money, it is exactly like purchasing passes (passes are typically included, each pack has so far included a divine, passes and a few other little things)

The lowest price last year was $45, which included one of the divines released over Christmas, some passes and I believe a month of VIP. I think the second one was $70, the third was $125 which included I believe 80 passes, a sizable amount of AP some equus, A Greyfell (given at random I believe from those you did not already own) and a divine from a predetermined list. Then the ultimate pack was $225 but it included everything from all three smaller packs and, if you ran the math was actually rather cost effective in terms of what you were receiving if you were willing to spend that much

$225 default smiley :o As tempting as it is, I don't think I'd spend that much on a game of pixel horses. But if they offer it, I'm assuming there are some people who do buy it. I want that job if the person can spend money like that default smiley xd

This post was from November of last year before the packs were released so the prices might have changed from when this was posted in the spoiler zone and the actual release.

However this should give you an idea of what to expect in them. I'm saving my money so I can get the big one depending on the rewards.

If I recall those were player converted prices, which is why the actual prices were a tad different when Howrse released the packs. And most certainly there were those that chose to spend some hobby money, we all have things we spend a little extra on. Mine typically is books, cards and occasionally games.

I personally like baby-sitting to earn money. Especially if you are a little bit older, then you can stay out later and the parents trust you more. Try asking around (maybe the school you go to if you go to one) or try getting your mom to ask some of her friends with kids.

Back to spoilersdefault smiley xd
I personally will be scavenging for gift cards to maybe save up for a pack or maybe for a promo, but I will see.

How will Ra be introduced? Collect all the Egyptian divines?
By Retired breeder, September 21, 2016 22:24:26
I remember the Halloween promo last year (it makes me feel SO OLD to say that default smiley (lol) ), and I enjoyed that somewhat. I also remember the Christmas one last year, and I am sad to say that I didn't really enjoy that one very much default smiley :(
I wish they'd just give us a "merry christmas" divine like a reindeer or something and stop there. Or, maybe, you had to play a fun Christmas mini-game and then you'd get a special Christmas Divine/BMI/tack/something.
By Retired breeder, September 21, 2016 22:31:21
I'm so tempted to spend money on the packs....default smiley xd like my parents will let me haha

Will they introduce a new series of divines after the Egyptian and Zodiac divine horse series ends?
New information

First new BM item image

Click to display


Here it is with rough translation

Click to display

I believe it acts like the SOA

Its image will change consequently.
When the horse shows its dark side:
its day starts with 2h (and finishes with 18h at the latest)
it gives a no-claims bonus specific to each dress
This object gives no-claims bonus to the horse:
Endurance: +5
Speed: +5
Raising: +5
Gallop: +5
Trot: +5
Jump: +5

Your horse can become…
Ruined robot:

When it presents its dark side, your horse has three times more chance to find delicacies at the time of its actions.

Insane doctor:

When it presents its side sinks, energy, the moral one and the health of your horse remain to 100% all the day.

Démoniaque angel:

When it presents its dark side, your horse gives a malus of -6 points on the competence of inscription to a competition to its competitors (out Great Price).

Horse-garou:

When it presents its dark side, your horse gains 0.02 points of competences in more when it takes part in a mission.
Only the horses of more than 1 year and 6 months can use the Medallion Doubles Face.
The Medallion Doubles Face is not cumulable with another special dress. If you give to your horse an Apple of Gold then the Medallion Doubles Face, it will lose its Gold Apple.
The Medallion Doubles Face disappears after 90 days spent in your inventory if you do not use it. It is not exchangeable.

I must have the wolf (horse-garou)! I'm obsessed with wolves and have always wanted a wolf GA or RC so this is my chance! default smiley (7) Will we be able to buy the item to make it a dark/light creature in the BMI store? Or can we only get it by winning it in the promo it will be in?
Well then. . .

Click to display
May have to go after Aphophis, as much because I am a Star Gate fan coupled with that lovely prize (if I could remember to work my divines daily). I am going to assume the promo for Halloween is going to be the same as it was last year, which is a trifle disappointing. . .it was not my favorite though it was not super difficult to be honest. If I recall even without spending passes you could get almost 2/3s of the way done if you actually sat down and worked out how the promo functioned.

As far as the new item. . . On one hand I like that we keep getting new collectibles for trophies. . . on the other. . . there is always one that is soooo hard to get. Absolutely loving the artwork though, and I can see now where my current horde of passes is probably ending up, yay for having a small pile of diamonds to throw at things as well.
