Here are Cancer and Leo's characteristics :

Cancer is one of the horses of the Zodiac.

She can breed with Gemini to give birth to Leo.

If you were born under this sign, Cancer will give you 1 x The 5th Element every year, on your birthday, if you log in on that day.

What's more, the 22nd July, when the daily update takes place, a Cancer horse is offered to a player native of this sign.

By collecting all 12 horses of the Zodiac, you will get the horse, Serpentarius
This mare cannot be sold.


Leo is one of the horses of the Zodiac.

He is the son of Cancer and Gemini.

If you were born under this sign, Leo will give you 1 x The 5th Element every year, on your birthday, if you log in on that day.

What's more, the 22nd August, when the daily update takes place, a Leo horse is offered to a player native of this sign.

By collecting all 12 horses of the Zodiac, you will get the horse, Serpentarius
This horse cannot be sold.

If you open the HoPs during the festivities, Cancer should not cost more than 35 passes. After a certain amount of HoPs, it is available on the horses sales. default smiley ;)

Looks like I won't be trying too hard/at all for either of the divines then. default smiley (lol) I was hoping for some sort of extra perk from either one of them, but eh... I'd rather save my passes for something more useful.

The last part is still assumptions though, since there hasn't been any confirmation yet that this one will work the same as previous editions.

Yay, so nothing for the rest of us... Welp I know I'm passing on this...

And I don't think you can really say that it should cost no more than

35 passes, since the HOP is a luck item. It could take 1 pass. It could take 35. It could very well take 50 passes before you find her... You can't really put calculations on the Great Challenge in general, apart from maybe estimating how many days it'll take to gather up the horseshoes/how many lotteries we'll get. Even then those are extremely probable to change.

It's just the same kinds of objectives as have come up during the Pinatas and the G__ C___. There isn't much variation between them, no matter what promo they turn up in.

Lol very true. Maybe that's why they didn't add anything extra to the perk?

Though then again...

Click to display
last time with Aquarius in the GC, he was the first one to offer an extra perk (the Tears). I don't remember who it was, but someone speculated that they did so because, well, if you won him in the lottery and weren't an Aquarius, you would end up with a useless Divine when you could have gotten a useful BMI. I liked that theory, and wish they had given Cancer an additional perk.

Sure she gives birth, but since Leo gives nothing as well, players that aren't Cancer or Leo just end up with 2 useless divines.

With other promos, you can choose to go to the end or not, depending on whether the Divine is worth it to you. With the Lottery, players have no such choice. And it's a bit of a waste if someone like me, who finds the divine(s) completely uselss wins one when it could have gone to a Cancer or Leo who would have at least gotten a 5th Element a year out of it...


With the frankly pitiful perks the Zodiacs have even for the bearer of that Zodiac sign, Howrse should have given additional perks (like Aquarius' and Gemini's - and I say those two and not Taurus because Taurus has a terrible drop rate) to all of them.

Sorry but was out but those perks( or lack of them) are correct. I am with you on this, nothing of interest.

I will stick to the Egyptians even if their perk is only every 2 months, it is miles better.default smiley :)

Does anyone know when the next divines in sales would be or which divine breed they would be? I am really trying to finish my Water Divine collection!

I also have a few recommendations for Divines in sales: (Not sure if they will be seen, but I hope they will be!)

-Put more than 1 divine in sales when they are available. For example, if you decided to put Rain in reserved sales, maybe put Dew or Mist in there as welldefault smiley :)

-Start to put some of the Zodiac divines in sales!

-When you put the divines in sales, try to make them slightly cheaper. Or if you put more than 1 divine in sales, maybe do an offer where if you buy one, you can get the other for half off or only X amount of passes.

Does anyone else agree with these points, or am I not being realistic here?

No, we never know when Divines are available through sales or luck items. We also don't know which Divines will be available next.

Retired breeder wrote:

The Water Divines we re-released only a few months ago, so it is unlikely they will be made available again for a while now- perhaps even a few years.

Retired breeder wrote:

Ideas don't really belong here - or in any forum. We used to have an Ideas forum, but it was shut down due to abuse. Howrse rarely implemented player suggestions anyway.

Retired breeder wrote:

It's happened a few times before in the past, but lately Divines have only been going in one at a time.

Howrse *usually* waits for a set to be completed before making all of the Divines available again. It will probably be a few months before they are put in sales/luck items.

Also- you already get the Divine for lower in the sales than in the original promotion (promos cost around 25-40 passes, highest Divine in sales up to this point has been 20, so it's unlikely there will be further discount offers.

They are pretty good ideas, don't get me wrong, but there isn't a place for them to be shared, really, and in the end Howrse will do what Howrse officials want.

No one knows when Howrse is going to release divines in sales and what they'll be, unless it was shown on VIP preprod or something of that sort. Otherwise we don't know.

Unfortunately our 'recommendations' are rarely heeded and paid much attention to by Howrse, and petitions are included in the sadly ineffective group, and things of that sort. I think I remember vaguely there being at least one time where there was at least two divines in sales at one time. Could be wrong.

The Zodiacs will eventually come out in sales. Divines are usually released three times each; once in promotions, once in luck items, and once in sales (as far as I know).

Howrse has to make its money somehow, and while unfortunately most players can't afford the 10-20 passes they usually are, I know lots of players who do splurge and buy them, especially for their perks, foals they can have, or to complete a collection. It's a good way for Howrse to make money.

I don't really see how they would rig it to 'buy one, get the other for half off or only X amount of passes', like you said. What...would you pick which one to buy and then pick up the other one? A good idea I think and possibly a clever marketing trick, but I think it would just be too complicated, especially for them to ever implement.

But then again, who knows? default smiley :d

Hope I didn't sound rude or pessimistic in any of that...wasn't my intention. Was just saying my thoughts and my knowledge as far as what I know on different pieces.

While this is true I'm still not all that psyched on how my Zodiac worked out(I'm a Capricorn). Sure, I got a two for one, but Sagittarius just sits and does nothing and I don't think I've touched Capricorn at all. I just went ahead and got Sagittarius mainly to have my sign. Mostly they just add to my divine trophies as I personally don't think one 5th element a year(a 2 pass item) is worth the amount of passes players paid to get their 5th element only divines. At least with mine I was able to use my Xanthos HoPs to get enough decorations to finish my divine tree so I didn't' shell out any passes I think the issue some players have is that it doesn't quite seem fair that some Zodiacs have an added perk and others don't. I know you can choose to go for a divine or not, but most feel compelled to go for their sign

Do we know who Cancer breeds with yet? Gemini? Or the one that would technically be after Leo (Virgo?)? Gemini would seem like a weird option to me because it's technically two horses....

Yes, as seen in Anap's post at the top of the page-
Click to display
Cancer will breed with Gemini. I agree that it would be strange though- Would we need to have both Geminis to be able to offer coverings, or could just the one be enough to breed? It is a little confusing and I do wish Gemini was just a single horse... Even a two-headed horse or something would have been better than the confusion with the two divines. default smiley (lol)

Seemed to make perfect sense to me. default smiley :d Cancer is a female evidently, who breeds with the male Gemini. What is being asked is; do you need both Gemini types to offer a cover to Cancer mares? Or if you only get one, can you still breed Cancer with your one?

I agree they over complicated things with two divines. Two headed would have looked wierd but covered it. Plus the extra expense of having to go through another pinata ? Although if there was just one Gemini Howrse probably would have done the same Amount of pinatas, just added another with prizes.

I quite like the look of having both horses on one page, with one behind the other. The only thing that frustrates me though is the way it is now, BOTH divines have BOTH horses on one page, which is just why? They could have easily made it one Divine like that, and tweaked the 'flip your horse's image' feature so people could chose whether to have the light one or the dark one in front.

No double headed horses needed XD

There's also a nice GA coat (that I believe is actually a representation of Gemini) that has a rearing horse, with almost like a ghost horse rearing up from it in the opposite direction. Something like that, anything like that (even the two headed horse) would have been better than to have two separate Divines to represent one thing...
