Well most of you will have seen these wonderful new Divine horses by now. They are unique in that they are the first Divine foals on Howrse. They could only be born by breeding a Snow horse with a Mist. And having looked through the Directory (on Howrse) it seems as if hundreds have been born so far.At the time of writing, we are still a few hours away from seeing the first adult Oceans, although there have been images of them floating around the site. But as foals, there have been some interesting discussions taking place in the forums about their skills. Some people reported that their Ocean foal had 1693.20 skills when born but others had 1695 and 1696 skills. However, it was soon clear that Oceans' don't gain any skills from foal games but they do gain skills as time goes by - every two days. Some players were saying that they were gaining skills at different rates to other players. So, for example I spoke to someone who's Ocean had 1702.80 skills aged 8 months, but my Ocean only acheived 1702.80 skills when aged 1 year!
Very interesting. A huge debate took place about this and people were suggesting that the BLUP of the mare (Mist horse) was affecting the Ocean's inborn skills or that matching the Snow's top skills with those of the Mist (Mist's top skills change each day) was affecting the inborn skills of the Oceans'. But no-one could explain why some Ocean's gained skills faster than others.
Well one thing seems a little clearer now - all Ocean foals aged up to 1 year and 4 months have reached the same skills - 1702.80. Right now, we don't know if they will keep increasing but we shall definitely let you know.
I think that's enough figures for now. My head hurts!

Oh, man I saw one of those . . . they're pretty darn awesome, I wish I had a divine!
ReplyDeletethanks for this article, I didn't follow in the forums but was very confused (and wondering if I might be delusional) about my Ocean's skills.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a bit confusing. We're all still trying to work out how Oceans' gain their skills. Watch this space!

my mist and ocean are so hard to figure out... you sort of get used to mist's skill changes, but ocean is a total mystery... at least i get AMAZING boxes reserved for them at great ECs!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know why some Oceans gain more Skills than others Its because of how many stars are on them. Like mine has 19 and one of my friends has 100 stars so hers has everything filled contact me at Rainbow45 if you need any questions. I also make free banners and layouts pm me if you need one!!!!!
ReplyDeletewhat is a snow horse with a mist?
ReplyDeleteim new to this game so im not familiar with the game and breeds.
-bluediamondrose-
Snows, Mists and Oceans are Divine horses. They are 'special' breeds and are very rare and expensive.

ReplyDeletei just got Ruby from a horn of plenty! wish i could breed her with a unicorn/pegasus or something!
ReplyDeleteI agreeit is confusing but I wouldn't really care!!! :-D
ReplyDeleteI own a baby Ocean 2 months old
ReplyDeletethis doesn't make sense. my ocean has 1772.40 in it's total skills, i honestly haven't paid much attention to it's skills changing. but it's at 1772 now, so.....don't know. anyway, contact me on the game.
