I would imagine the price will be similar to last years. Though it'd be nice if the ghosts of Christmas would make them lower. default smiley ;)

The Divines we'll know this Friday morning as soon as Update hits, as usual.

For prices, I have checked the French server and it's specified "Prices are the same as last year's", so I'm assuming it's an oversight of the English translation. default smiley :)

Hi pOwney, the link in the official message doesn't work, it doesn't lead to this topic directly at least =] The script in the automatic message for this one and other must be checked, it has happened before ^_^ default smiley (l)

Oh, that's there as a reminder.
Back in 2017, the Admins decided to try a 'new' style of packs that removed most of the Passes and gave a lot of eques instead.
Needless to say, the players *vehemently* protested (the pass amount is the main appeal of the packs, back in the day they had different costs and so on) and thus now they add the 10,000 to go "See? We remember, still there!" default smiley :p

I'm so relieved that they didn't touch the passes. I was so worried because of the small amount in the May and September packs.

Does anyone know if the Aphrodite’s privilege is permanent on your account or if it’s a limited number of days?

They last for one month each and stack if you get multiple packs that offer them.

We do not, as usual. We'll know Friday morning, unless they flub the patch and one of them is uploaded early.

You are correct, Spice and Fire default smiley :)

Welcome to Howrse!
This topic is just for discussion regarding the in-game Christmas packs that are set to come out.

If you're looking to discuss real life horses, or names for your real life horses, there are some topics for that in the Equestrian Forum.

This is how I usually calculate a pack when trying to determine if its a good deal. You are welcome to adjust the numbers to how you feel and play the game.

As a precaution, this is what I would warn against players on any companion and unicorn - do not expect that to have a increased value, it will be a quickly diminished value that could drop below 100 passes. You should treat this as a brag-right only, because you will not get your money back on those. If you don't care about having them fresh or a foundation (start GP) then I highly recommend waiting till everyone else breeds out and places in sales. The supply will come and that will force sale price tag to drop.

Olympus Pack:
- 1x Divine Horse Saffron usually I like to cap this at $40 usd as howrse sometimes releases the same divine a few months later and players have to fill a meter of this.
- 1x Special Horse of your choice* usually I like to cap this at $50 max divine value due to value of other items subtracted total price from past Christmas packs
- 1x Aphrodite's Privilege I usually don't include because the only way to quantify is spending 200,000 passes to get it in titan challenge, which is a stretch.
- 1x Fertility Wand Privilege I usually don't include on pricing because you cannot obtain this other than christmas pack
