went thru about 15 TCs to try and get Earth. never struck it rich, but did end up getting her, which I am happy about - she's got to be my favorite divine I think, so I guess it was worth it! if they hadn't have offered her this weekend or in any of the weekends before Christmas, I think I would've chosen her in my custom divine pack, which honestly probably would've been more expensive than the TCs, so i guess im winning lol

thats what im telling myself anyways

45 to start, added 5 along the way and not a single piece of BUCE tack. This was my last ditch effort to keep playing at a high level. I'm moving forward with coat collecting and I'm all but done with this game.

yayy i got Earth on my 14th TC all from the inventory so super happy about that. I also tried for Bruce and went from 63 HOPs to 19 HOPs and got 4 tack now just waiting for my objective HOP and then i'm gonna open the rest to get the last tack.
This week was not as expensive as i thought it would be

Wow, absolutely terrible luck for me. Had to fill meter to get Earth and then 25 HOPs w/o a single piece of tack. Best I got was 1 M. Arms.

17,900 passes + 13 inventory HoPs for Buce

Took over 80 HOPs to get all 5 pieces of tack: 50+ from inventory that I'd been hoarding/won while opening others, and 2900 passes on 29 purchased HOPs - generally 1 piece tack per 20-25 HOPs, but varied with some closer together than others.

I went the approach of not doing them all at once. Maybe its psychological/confirmation bias, but sometimes when I'm on a losing streak with not even any BMIs for 3-6 HOPs in a row (just random store stuff) I just stop, do something else, then come back to opening more later. Seemed to help maybe? hard to say

Good luck to everyone else out there!

finally got the "jackpot" on earth.... for a whole whopping 34 frags.

thankfully already had 2 buce pieces, but wiping out my stash and the rest of my passes (AND scaling a nyx pack for HoPs) I have found ..... one piece. ugh.

I have Open 70 plus HOPs and only gotten one tack peice and i have literally sold almost all of my RCs and HOGs to make the passes i need, if you ask me this is nuts and Howrse needs to at least compensate players that have spent that much and gotten one thing, its sad and Ridicoulous and i feel like crying right now because i have waited years for this horses

I opened several HoPs and got no tack, though I did get a decent BMI in many so that's a net positive I think.

I opened one fleece just to see if I'd get Horus. Nope! Will probably show up in Accent. Only 13 frags...very expensive to fill THAT meter.

Opened 20 hops. Got some good BM items and got one Buce piece. Just need two more. Maybe next year?

I have three Buce pieces from last time and wanted the last two, but I've already opened 20 HOPs with nada and looking at other posts on here not sure if its worth it to keep trying :/

I opened 7 GF for Horus with no luck,
It took me 16 inventory HOPS to get the 3 pieces of tack I needed and
12 TC to get Earth starting with zero fragments.
I guess I was pretty lucky...
Good luck everyone!!

Can somebody tell what the drop rate of the crown is for the star horse this time?

The Tyche's Crown always offers 18 fragments for the event divines

The exception is the challenge, which offers 32, as we don't get objective fragments.

91 HOPs to get the 5 pieces of tack.

In case this helps --- I opened all the HOPs in one sitting

1st piece at 22 HOPs (22)
2nd piece at 40 HOPs (18)
3rd piece at 46 HOPs
4th piece at 76 HOPs (30)
5th piece at 91 HOPs (15)

... Oh that changed to an emoji.. Oops that was supposed to be 6...

I'm currently at 60 HoPs opened and two pieces of Buce tack so far

I knew it was going to be a slog but still... < this is my eyes now from staring at the HoP screen so long.

105 HoPs to get the 5 pieces of tack

254,000 equus

Got him! I had three pieces of tack already, opened 10 inventory HOPS, plus the objective HOP, traded for 5, and then spent about 1500 passes for I believe 31 HOPs. I saw the tack piece show up on 31, but when I went to the tack page it said I had two so not sure if I had acquired one somewhere else I had forgotten about or if I missed one while I was opening but in any case I have him now!

wishuwell, you can always check your item history on the black market page to find out if you got the extra piece recently

Y'all are so lucky I got croesus, 1000 Equus, Artemis arrow, oats and forgot the other stuff

Buce's tack is nigh on impossible, ridiculous honestly

i dunno
