Never mind about not being able to compete, got Porthos in the Directs? He was just sitting there! I even had time to go check his page to see what he does and nobody wanted him!

How was Black Friday for me:
Dew - 18,500,000 equus Zephyrus - 748 passes Rose gold - 2,530 passes Scandium - 63,600,000 equus Osmium - 50,400,000 equus Cinnamon - 100+200+300pts + 11 TC from inventories Lancelot - 12,812,000 equus Cascade - 1,247 passes Gold - 2,256 passes Osmium - 45,300,000 equus Athos - 2,414 passes 54 pts left to 400 (Cinnamon), so i want to take something else. I didn't expect it to be so expensive, but i'm so happy! Need to prepare even more seriously for the next BF, i had very few passes this time.. |
Im tapping out! Happy with my Hippalectryon and Lancelot
 Time to start saving for next year hehe!
|
I'm hoping to get Porthos in auctions, but only because I wouldn't pay passes for his perk, and so he can be a sacrificial (noble) boy and do all for one! everyday.
I'd rather get him in the Ascent, but who knows how long until he shows up. We seem to keep getting horses I already have

We seem to keep getting horses I already have It's been a nice break from Ascent because I'm having the same issue - already own the Divines and don't need duplicates of these ones. At 15 gold and 15 silver obols and just chilling til' a Divine comes along that I don't have yet 
|
I managed to get Arthur for 10 million eq on the UK server (just placed a bid and wandered off, no one else bid Yeah Arthur isn't very popular on the Swedish server either. Last time I checked there were like 3 on the directs  Can't blame people though, Arthur is the most expensive one this year. But 10 mil is a steal either way!
|
Anyone knows how to use D'Artagnan best and how long it takes for him to Drop the Inkwell?
|
Jag Alskar Dig for 13.2 mil which was a LOT cheaper then the one I was in a war for earlier which went for 21 mil.
A bit sad because I have more than enough for another divine from auctions, but this was the first one where the price didn't put me bankrupt lol. More for next year, I guess! Now I'm going to try and get one last Jag Alskar Dig in directs and my sales are complete 
|
I got my Kaktos.
I will consider my sales done now, I've got everything I wanted. I still have over 8 million equus, but I won't be pressuring myself into trying to win an auction or anything. That said, a love divine or wind of any kind would be lovely, as they are both sets that offer passes, and divines that give passes when paid for with equus are great. Successful sales like this one make the months of saving worth it, as it's nice to see your hard work rewarded. The positive and supporting community have also made these sales fun to take part in. I spent a lot of my time this year in the server, where there was so much positivity, support, and celebrating when players got the divine they wanted. I personally finished off the zodiacs this year, which I'm so happy about, as I've been working on that series for almost 4 years. In closing words, it's strange to see under 10 million after being over that for months.
|
All I want still is another metal… I’m running out of time and chances, and can only do directs. But they vanish so fast. Oh my goodness
|
Yeah I'm shocked by how easy to obtain the Metals were this year. I'd written it off as a series I'd never own even one of, let alone 3.
|
I got both of them in reserves, but have missed either of the two in directs all day today. Super sad. I’m trying through the next hour and then probably giving up. I’ve clicked on them, just not fast enough.
I’m pleased though, I got the 2 plants I wanted, and the two reserved metals with some passes to spare.
|
I am almost certainly not going to win the libonotus I just bid on, but it's nice to find one low enough to participate. Have fun, whoever gets him
|
(I'll also post this on the survey thread)
Very happy camper here. Got lucky and all the ones I wanted were in the Reserves. Kudos for keeping all three sale types along with the program. I LOVE THE PROGRAM WITH ALL OF MY HEART. Finished out my Water collection and grabbed another two Winds and two Loves for very fair prices. I ended up spending ~4,700p and 6.8 million equus for 5 divines. I'd much rather spend it here than on luck items! As always, auctions stirred up some feathers, but hey, if you saved the money, spend it! I know I can't compete here and I don't really try. For those struggling, I agree, wait until the end if you can as bidding cools down some. Bid how you want, play how you want. Here's the price list! Click to display =Celtic= Goibniu- 2,222 Taranis- 2,353 =Christmas= Glædelig Jul- 1,149 Joyeaux Noel- 1,342 =Dragons= Blizzard- 1,581 Christmas Ghost- 1,532 Ladon- 1,669 =Etria= Etrian- 746 Wikaila- 2,937 =Fairy Tale= Alice In Wonderland- 1,476 Brave Little Tailor- 1,477 Jack and the Beanstalk- 1,306 Puss In Boots- 1,474 Rapunzel- 1,327 Sinbad- 1,697 =Fire= Embers- 1,487 =Grails= Arthur- 3,270 Mordred- 1,568 Lancelot- 1,323 Percival- 1,601 =Love= I Love You- 1,030 Jag Älskar Dig- 1,030 Jeg Elsker Deg- 1,030 Ik houd van je- 1,098 Я люблю тебя- 1,098 Te Quiero- 1,167 Tha gaol agam ort- 1,167 =Metals= Gold- 2,256 Osmium- 1,889 Rose Gold- 2,530 Scandium- 2,125 =Musketeers= Aramis- 1,504 Athos- 2,414 D' Artagnan- 1,112 Porthos- 1,218 =Mythological= Hrafn- 1,532 Hippalectryon- 1,891 Midas- 2,305 Rakhsh- 1,327 Svadilfari- 1,247 =Pets= Budgerigar- 746 English Angora- 746 Golden Hamster- 746 Maine Coon- 746 Welsh Corgi- 746 =Plants= Alga- 1,227 Carnivorous- 2,077 Caryopsis- 1,581 Fern- 1,477 Kaktos- 1,098 Liana- 995 Sequoia- 996 =Sherlock Holmes= Dr. Watson- 1,975 Irene Adler- 1,487 =Stellar= Red Giant- 1,063 =Water= Cascade- 1,247 Dew- 1,027 Frost- 1,174 Mist- 1,247 Rain- 2,250 Snow- 746 =Wind= Boreas- 771 Caicias- 1,780 Iapyx- 771 Libonotus- 788 Lips- 1,822 Notus- 1,046 Zephyrus- 748 =Zodiac= Aquarius- 1,682 Cancer- 793 Gemini- 1,029 Libra- 1,618 Pisces- 746 Taurus- 1,205 Compared to years past: Dragons, Christmas, Grails, Loves, Musketeers, and Winds were about the same as last year. Celtics were up: Goibniu was 131p more and Taranis was 168p more. Brave Little Tailor was 100p more Waters overall were ~200p cheaper as compared to 2022. Snow dropped by 100p. Cascade stayed the same. I am curious as to how auctions could be improved. I know the 30 sec re-set was to help those with slower internet. A downfall of this is that those final 30 sec can drag out for 10, 15, even 20 minutes or more. Maybe dropping it to a 15 or even 10sec buffer? I'm not sure, honestly. (Note, I'm not bothered by the prices, just the length of time an auction can be drug out for)
|
They have the reserved and direct sales for this, though. The reserved sales are new (as of last year I think?) and this is the first time I've been able to participate because of this. I know I can't compete with other players, but I also don't have to.
|
My haul consists of:
Aramis Rose Gold Ladon Porthos Scandium Cancer Welsh Corgi Not bad at all. Another successful Black Friday event.  
|
got lucky. picked up Frost for 5900001. some how NO bidding war. last 30 seconds actually lasted 30 seconds. i bid the price at like a minute to set up easier making of smaller bids faster. save 99999e by upping bid of 5900000 to 5900001 instead of 6000000.

Hiram Farmer, that's what the Daily Objectives are for. Even if you can only do the 10p ones every day, they still add up. And there are many months to save! There are definitely ways to get passes. I know, because I don't buy passes. In my pass summary, my FREE pass count is at 147,000! Yes, I have pass giving divines, but that's also counting the Objectives.
As many others have said, there are ways to make equus too. Put cows on the meadows. Sell the leather. Or run production in the workshops and make 3* bridles and then sell.
|
The prices for the divines pass-wise seemed very fair to me. Especially given that the alternative is what, 6,000p, for luck items in a regular promo?
Is it work? Yes. Does it require a bit of time and thought and planning? Yes. That's what other players have done. Don't put them down for their efforts.

@Hiram Farmer - I got Gold and Rose Gold for under 5,000 passes, which for Metals is insanely cheap. At their usual price I wouldn't have even been able to get *one* for 5k let alone both. Some of the Divines offered were less than 1,000 and could be obtained with under a month of objectives. I don't buy passes either, I saved up all year for this but I really didn't need to, I was just being cautious. If you came to the event with only 10 million equus because you didn't plan properly and save up that's on you and you don't need to constantly be in the forum telling off other players for bidding at prices you personally can't afford.
|
I have to say prices were very reasonable for this. I did not plan for it as I had no idea about the sale. I’m an original player that has taken several months long breaks over the years due to farm life and I still walked away with 6 divines. The last of which I won in the auctions for 8mil. I’m most stoked about him as I’ve been trying all weekend for a fairytale jack. Now I know to save for next year. Well after the Christmas divines that is lol.
|
In that case, I would stop buying luck items when I don't have enough to get the divine if I don't get lucky. That's up to 500 passes you could be saving a month through the objective passes, which would really start to add up. It doesn't even have to be every month or every pass, you could have something like where you have x amount of spending passes, then x amount of passes you save for the month.
I'm going to say right now that I understand it fully, I play on a server where I haven't bought a single pass and have to be picky with how I spend them, but even with that I was still able to afford a divine this year after only saving for a month. More than anything. it just takes restraint. Anyone that knows me well could tell you that I am absolutely terrible when it comes to saving, that I have little to no restraint. To help prevent this, I keep track during the months I am saving. Doing this makes me really think about what I am doing and if spending x amount now is going to cost me in the future. This was very useful when it came to saving passes, as it helped me to control my spending as I always wanted to keep it at a gain during the final couple of weeks.
|
I do have to note I rarely buy passes anymore. Just a Christmas pack or two when they come out. Everything was saved from my pass giving divines and the daily objectives so I’m pretty happy with my haul. Now just to figure out how to make massive amounts of equus like the big players I was at war with over the jacks lol
|
@Truth Be Told - not all hears wear capes. thank you for typing a master list so I can just copy and paste it. I legit do NOT feel like typing one tonight for tracking purposes and next year comparisons
@Hiram Farmer - There are multiple ways to make passes on here. The daily objectives give you 30 a day if you complete them. I understand how it can be irritating when one requires to breed a uni or do something that you don't have at hand. But, we all deal with those objectives as well. I find myself just avoiding it or trying to swap with the equus option, although sometimes that still gives me something I can't do. But I move on. There is also the option to buy and resell horses in sales for more - just keep an eye on howrse tax because that takes a decent portion of profit now a days. We also get pass seeds during promos - more frequently now than ever as far as I'm concerned. Equus is SO easily earned on here. Both currencies just require work to achieve. I understand the unfairness for those with newer accounts and getting adjusted to the game. However, I was once a new player to. Working on my account to build it to be self-sufficient took time and a ton of planning, but I'm slowly getting there. I'm rather happy with how far I've come sense I first started this game. Things take time and preparation. We all know that this sale happens every year. So, that's 365 days to prepare for it. What you spend on your passes and equus during that time is on you. I'm not trying to be rude here, but it's feeling like you won't listen to reason when we are trying to help you understand how passes and equus can be made. Yes, the amount of equus for auctions is crazy, but most of us bidding those numbers prep for this sale. Why should we be let down or feel bad for bidding with our hard-earned items? The pass amounts for the Divines offered this year where exceptionally fair, considering Divines go for 4k-18k passes in luck items. I'll gladly drop 60mil on something if it means saving passes. No one is forced to participate in these events. If you don't like it, don't participate and let us who want to enjoy it, have fun. *sorry for long message*
