HellOw!

The September Packs are making their debut!

From September 6th to 20th, six incredible packs will be available in the game for the first time.

But before revealing what’s inside, we want to hear from you: what kind of divine horses or special offers would you like to see in the September packs?



Head to the comment to share your guesses, and stay tuned to discover more in the coming days!

I want to see the feedback from the May packs actually being used. While the contents of the last packs was nice, it didn't justify the cost. I'm sure many of us would also like to know the exact price range before they go up for sale.

This. Please.

Please don't use the line "Prices could be subject to variations according to the version" again. Just give us clear information.

AT Privileges in the lower tiers. Like how the December one is set up to have it with the second-to-largest pack as well as the largest pack. Oooooor, alternatively, just a pack that might have a AT privilege and fertility wand privilege on it's own with some other goodie. Like a divine or passes.

An Morpheous Arms privilege would be nice too...but one can dream right? default smiley xd

Tears and wand privileges - that's the only thing that would get me to buy the more expensive packs!

Oooh maybe a choice of companion? So players can grab the ones they are missing!

Months of VIP as well default smiley :)

If you are going to offer unis (or foundations as a whole) as a special add on in a pack, please offer 2 instead of just one, particularly in the larger "grab it all" pack.

Each pack depending on the tier I would like to see that you can choose a divine that you want to from a selection of divine from that tier group.

I'll quote my own post from earlier last week:

I think the packs are quite nice. The only thing that do not encourage at least myself to go for any of these is the big pack includes everything and e.g. option to choose the solar horse/any other. I feel it would be nice to get an option to buy a pack called "Just choose from" where you pay less than the big pack and you can for instance choose any set divine apart of all the passes, BMIs, etc

In addition I think it would be nice to see Gemstones on offer with option to buy like per say 1,000 passes or VIP account and a gemstone divine of choice for instance. That would defo encourage more people to buy those packs not everyone are on that level money-wise to buy pack in hundreds of euros/pounds/dollars.

More passes (and passes in every pack!) would be good...
On the uni breeding packs, getting a breeding pair rather than just one would be helpful; and if it isn't a new breed, could we possibly get to choose the breed?
On the subject of dreaming, how about a hestia's privilege? default smiley :p

As much as I'd love this offer, I doubt they would offer a gemstone for that cheap, especially if Jade was in the selection. For those who don't know, Jade is one of the most valuable pass divines on the game, averaging 3000+ passes per year, only being beaten by Sun, Io, and Jupiter if you get their passes daily.

For comparison, Mars was offered during Black Friday for 5000 passes. This is our best comparison here, as Mars will average 9 points per day for the majority of plays, making him worth around 1640 passes per year. Jade can usually do double that on average, sometimes even more. After doing the math on one of my Jades, I got 3390 passes in total for 2023, this is over double the amount of Mars.

If you could get a Jade for 1000 passes, it would probably break the game economy and result in the developers losing a whole lot of money, as loads of people would just buy multiple pass packs and pick Jade every time. Once you've got a Jade farm going, you are pretty much in a position where you no longer have to buy passes if you include the objective passes. This would mean a lot less money to keep the game going if loads of people do it.

I did not buy any packs last year, too expensive for me, with just a handful of divines on offer, needs to other stuff thrown in, like 1 months VIP, a couple of nice BMI, like Hestia/Arms/Stones, whatever.

Given I'm assuming they've already set the pack contents (based on the promo images), looks like wand priv is in Meteorite pack level and tears priv is ONLY in Galaxy pack (top level) again (booo).

If they're doing "choice of" from specific series like May in the Galaxy pack, I would guess Japanese (Shamisen's outline is pretty distinctive) for sure, but not sure what the other one is - anyone else been able to sleuth that? The divine in Comet pack looks dragon-y, but I looked at the special horses page and none seem to match - anyone else recognize that one too?

I didn't mean for the developers to give the gemstone for the price of 1,000 passes. They set the price themselves. I meant that it would be nice if the pack could include:

Divine to choose from gemstone collection
1,000 Passes

Instead of all BMIs, etc. because not everyone are really uses BMIs as their way of playing the game if that makes sense.

Maybe I'm beating a dead horse, but lower pricing. The May packs had significantly less value than the Christmas packs, and yet they were priced the same. These packs don't seem to have the same value as the Christmas packs, either, so I'm hoping to see a lower price tag on these packs... especially given the massive disappointment the playerbase voiced on the pricing in May!

Oathkeeper,

I am afraid if everyone bought Jade like that, his value would go down a lot, and those of us who already have him would stop getting so many passes. How do you manage to get 9 points for Mars every day? I get 7. Do you maximize the feeding every day?

You can get 9 without a fountain, and 10 with a fountain, if you have Heel and P. Stroke.


What I do:
Ride 1h, Feed (right fodder, no oats), 1h ride, Feed ( oats to 15), 5h ride, Stroke x2, Water, carrot, mash, max ride.

For Mars, you need stroke and an a heel, this way you get an extra stroke and can bed at any energy. The trick is to do 5 hours at the start of the day, double stroke, carrot, water, and mash, then feed before doing another four hours. For energy breakdown -

5 hours takes you down to 4%
Double stroke takes you to around 24%
Carrot, water, and mash would add another 26%, taking it to 50%
For the final 22%, feed max fodder, then max oats, this should take you to the required 72%

You could also try doing just 1 hour at the start, feeding until the horse is left with 90%, doing 5 hours, then repeating the other steps, but this time for 54% energy.

You must have a shower and water trough in the box for this to work.

YES. That was the huge turn off for me too. No AT at a lesser pack because otherwise they’re just too expensive to try and get multiple months of it if it’s solely in the largest Galaxy pack. I also agree with another player’s comments that they’re waaaay too overpriced.
