Pretty sure the Equestrian Statuette is an ornament for the Divine trees that you have to craft.

Each of the divine trees requires *at least* 1 Statuette. The Balios tree requires 11 of them I think and the others less than 5. So you have to decorate a tree to get the Statuette, which you then put on a divine tree.

It also states this on the Statuette's page:
"Please note that the Equestrian statuette hanging ornament can only be earned by decorating the corresponding tree."
So we can not buy them with passes.

Where is Epona on that picture back there? Epona is offered in the Advent calendar, right? I'm confused.

shes not in the tree promo so im guessing shes coming out in the christmas pack instead along with the new balios

Now I'm confused! So how is Epona being released?

Epona was also coming in the advent calendar promo. I don't see her in the list of prizes (unless i missed her). Any news on that? Also, same question as Halalloth, what is the Equestrian Statuette?

question on the statuette, i just read the answer

Epona is being released in the chest which is part of the special Christmas packagers you have to buy with real money.

So there is no way to get her without buying a chest? That stinks, I just bought 100 passes and would much rather have gotten her.

Any info on how much the chest with Epona will cost? I could earn money... and how long the offer would last?

Why weren't we informed that Epona would be available separately right off the bat? Some people (including me and equii-sisters, I know) have put a ton of effort (real-life and in-game) into saving passes for Epona, just to find out we won't be able to get her!

Also, would there be any way to somehow win the chest? I don't think there ever has been, but...

And wait a minute, didn't the Treasure Chest used to be available for 10 passes when it was available? Or am I thinking of something else?

We only knew Epona was coming. . . if people had been a touch more observant it was suggested that she was being released in a Chest of Wonder. We only knew we were getting Two Celtic Divines over Christmas, not the exact nature of which they would come.

The Chest has only been offered maybe once or twice for passes through the BM. It has been released via Christmas Packs and once or twice as the grand prize of a Promo.

The reason you were not informed was simply because no one had the answer. We get leaked spoilers off the French test server, but often do not bother to bring them over until English Test servers open so that we get correct translations and can see what is actually going on ourselves.

As for the price of the Christmas Packs we are probably going to know that until December starts, and possibly not until the Packs go officially live on one server or another. Prices get 'leaked' every year and every year it is in Euros which means a different amount in USD and always gets people angry because the Euro price is less than the USD due to the exchange rate.

OK, I did look through the spoiler zone and saw the Epona treasure chest thing. I also have another question, what does the other Celtic Divine do? I might go for him/her...

What is this talk about the Equestrian statuette? I didn't see it...
Also all the pictures right now are about the tree-decorating promo, right? No pictures on the Advent calendar?

Can someone repost what the divine and wild are going to be for the Christmas promo, and the divine's perks? Considering to go for them anyway without Epona.

And also, is there any remote chance that Epona will be available, in say, a future promo or HoP or something? I feel like past Treasure Chest divines have been available that way. Or is buying the pack absolutely the only way to get her?

So does buying a treasure chest garenty Epona? And Chests are the ones that are around 8 passes right?

The treasure chest this year will be included in a Holiday pack, which will require actual money, not passes. Prices on those packs, as Cyber said a few posts up, are not known yet, but tend to be a decent deal for the money (but not cheap, per se). They will notify us when those become available, sometime in December.
