I think I just used up all my pass Horses that guaranteed me a pass within 30 days, And opened approximately 12 HOP's. :U

This is from my Items history from my HOP's:

Fertility Wand
Whip
Apollo's Lyre
Hera's Pack
Pandora's Box
Aphrodite's Tears
Golden Apple
Zeus' Lightning Bolt
Aphrodite's Tears
Lunge
Philote's Stroke
Morpheus Arms
Medusas Blood
Hypno's Blanket

Along the way I got the usual stuff like 150 Fodder, oats, 2** Ear bonnet/Polo wraps, Carrots, Apples, Mashes. Saddle, Bridles.

First HOP I opened gave me a free HOP and 3 star tack to sell, the 2nd HOP gave me oats, fodder and some more 3 star tack to sell.

I opened 5 from my inventory (since I had the 1 free for every 5 opened), and while I didn't get Midas, I did get a few other nice things:
21,000e total
A Philotes Stroke, Helios' Ray, Aphrodite's Tears, and Chronos Timer
The Strength of the Thunderstorm Grand Prix bonus
And some aging points, tack, apples, etc.

Not too bad for HOPs from Xanthos!

Anyone have any little superstitions when it comes to opening hops or ideas of when I might be mor encumbered? 10 and counting, no Midas through hop or sales.

*more lucky

You got all that in only 12? The best I got out of over the last 30 is probably a P Pack at some point You didn't do bad at all.

90 diamonds and 4 HoP (also used two HoP I got in the HoP and the buy 3 get one free option so those were not counted)

2 Midas
Harmony Pack
Achilles' Heel
Water of Youth
Helios' Ray
Piece of Cloud
Morpheus' Arms
2 Philosopher's Stone
Zeus' Lightning Bolt
Ploutos' Parchment
Hera's Pack
2 HoP

Not bad at all, I am very pleased. Good luck everyone!

I just spent at least 40 passes to get Midas, But hes so cute I can resist Wont be getting another divine for quite some time

Sweet; got Midas on the 9th HOP. All but two (the two were free) were from my inventory, so I really only used up 7.

Used 10 HoPs so far, and no Midas. I have 6 chances left and I am so scared...Midas is the only divine I have ever wanted and I will be quite sad if I don't get him.

AGH. i got a Z.bolt, when I just USED one. Oh well. Good for storage, I guess ^.^

No Midas, but I'm going to trade for more HOPs, and keep trying. All in all, pretty pleased with this.

I'd be pleased just to get the TC.

...I didn't get him, and I feel so paranoid. Getting those HoPs were weeks upon weeks of exchanges, Xanthos, passes. This is truly the worst I've felt opening HoPs, ugh.

However, I did get a Hera's pack and a harmony pack. Try to look on the bright side!

Got Midas in fourth I opened

I was happy to see that. I have the worst luck with them, though, so I'll probably trade it for something I find more useful. (*cough*HOP*cough*)

Oooo, I have just gained 1 more HoP thanks to the horseshoes

Darn this Midas is far too elusive for me ¬_¬

Well, at least I've had plenty of ageing points that I've now eaten my way through.

I just used 20+ HoPs and no midas...

Must. Resist. Urge. To. Waste. Last. Pass. On. HOP.

Grr!! This is driving me insane. Should I save my last pass and buy something useful like a box, or should I buy a HOP?
Logical Side: Buy something useful, like a 3*** box! It will positively improve your ranking in the future.
Reckless Side and Exceedingly Optimistic Side: C'mon! You know that if you open that HOP, you will somehow, just somehow, get Midas! You will regret not opening it for the rest of your life!
Logic: Seriously, what are the chances of getting Midas from one HOP?
Reckless/Optimistic: It'll be a miracle! "New Player gets Midas from One HOP!" it'll be all over the news! You know you want to...
Logic: Stop, just stop.
Reckless/Optimistic: Succumb to the dark side... you know what's right for you...

And I'm fighting with myself. Jeez, talk about split-personality disorder...

Scrounged up another pass somehow, and with 17 HoPs no Midas. I was so looking forward to him, but alas, it looks like he will not be mine.

Some useless stuff:
3 000 Equus
3*** Western Bridle
100 x Oats
2 x Carrot
6 aging points

I tried so hard in the GC, it just wasn't worth it now. I mean, who wants 100 oats and 2 carrots?

I guess Midas will never be mine, I don't have that much passes anyways...

Too bad. Hopefully you win something to get a hop with from the lottery!

I got okay items from my HOP, but no Midas.

Hera's Pack
6000 Equus
and a bunch of other useless stuff.
