Underwater excavations is dependent on:

How often can you dig
How many bones you are finding vs. Relics and other items

For example - on Preprod, even after using the equivalent of 40 passes, and not missing any digs (I had enough Relics to trade for the next tool as soon as able) - I was STILL short 30 - 40 something bones.

Here's another rough example of differing amounts of Passes based on 1-day sample results with each tool based on MY experience *you may find more or less bones, relics, traps, prizes, etc*

Snorkel and Mask (10 digs)

8 Relics
2 Bones
0 Prizes
0 Traps

Oxygen Tank (15 digs)

10 Relics
4 Bones
0 Prizes
1 Trap

Diving Suit (20 digs)

10 Relics
6 Bones
2 Prizes
2 Traps

Propeller (25 digs)

13 Relics
8 Bones
2 Prizes
2 Traps

Robot (30 digs)

19 Relics
10 Bones
1 Prizes
0 Traps

Now, let's focus on the Bones gotten. We'll assume with our other digs, we got enough Relics to barter for the better tools for the various amounts of digs per day for these dates *dates are preprod dates NOT live dates*:

Days 1 and 2 (13th and 14th): 10 digs per day
Days 3, 4, and 5 (15th, 16th and 17th): 15 digs per day
Days 6, 7, 8, and 9 (18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st): 20 digs per day
Days 10, 11, 12, and 13 (22nd, 23rd, 24th, and 25th): 25 digs
Days 14, 15, and 16 (26th, 27th, and 28th): 30 digs


So:
Day 1 - 2: 4 Bones
Days 3 - 5: 12 Bones
Days 6 - 9: 24 Bones
Days 10 - 13: 32 Bones
Days 14 - 16: 30 Bones
Final total: 102 Bones

*Remember that Mines would need to be used before the promotion ends, so the day 14 - 16 count is not 100% accurate as the 16th is not a full day*

Still 60 Bones short of Devoted Indigo - time for Mine usage to make up

Looking at my history with Mine usage in a single day (3 mines for 1 pass):

2 Bones
1 Prize
0 Relics
0 Traps

If I continued to have this luck with single mines...I'm looking at 30 passes to make up my missing 60 Bones (2 bones each time ; 2 x 30 = 60).

If we calculate this with my results based off a run with Double Mines (6 mines for 1 pass):

3 Bones
2 Prizes
1 Relic
0 Traps

This comes out to only needing 20 passes (3 bones each time ; 3 x 20 = 60)

Final potential pass cost based on these numbers: 20 to 30 passes

Again though, this is just based off a very small sample of numbers and the assumption that one will get these amounts every dig.

In short - for the Underwater Excavations - expect it to require anywhere between 10 to 50+ passes.

Like the Magic Ride - how many passes will be dependent on:

How many rolls you can make per hour
How many times you can roll per day
Are the rolls amounts you need

Take this screen shot of a Summer Ride board;



In order to move to the next board - you need to collect all the Keys. So from the current spot of the player (the gold horse token) - they are 8 spots away from one key, 15 spots away from the other Key.

Extra rolls are sold in packs of 2, and also give you a gift to open. So if this player opts to use Passes at this point in time to try and get the Keys...Their best luck would be if they rolled:

Any combination of 8 to reach the first key (1 pass)
From the first key's spot - it's another 8 spaces to the next key...If they are lucky enough to roll a combination of 8 again by purchasing another roll pack - they're now up to 2 passes.

Now they have to make their way to the door - and they have multiple options: Try to navigate directly to it, go to the teleporter to be transported to it (but then they still need to roll enough to pass through the door)

In the past - I believe the Magic ride has taken people anywhere between 10 to 30 passes depending on how many regular rolls they can make, and their luck with rolling in general (as some of the later boards require you to roll exact numbers or a combination to equal a certain number (ex. If the Divine board for this event is anything like the Winter Magic Ride one - you need to roll a 3 in any combination to move out of the starting area))

If you were here for the Cursed Sands of 2013 - it's the same thing. If not, here's the info from the Preprod topic and some screen shots.

Excavate the sea bead to find gifts that were lost at sea. Beware of the traps!

*How do I excavate?

• Choose the area you want to excavate
• Discover what is hidden there
• Be patient between excavations
• Exchange your tools and the relics you’ve found for more powerful tools

~*~
Basically - you'll have a screen showing various patches of dirt. You dig in these patches to find Items (regular & black market items), Relics (which you trade for better tools over time), or Bones (which are needed to complete the skeleton to win the Divine horse - Devoted Indigo. There is also a chance you'll find a Trap - which will delay you from digging for 6 hours unless you complete an objective.

Here are some screen shots of the Underwater Excavations:

The Prize list for the promotion.

Summer Ride as the upcoming one will be called. It's the same as the Magic Ride event from the last few Winters.

If you were not here for that - it works like this:

The Magic Ride is a board game type event. You log in each day and can roll a die to make moves (rolls happen at certain times like pinata clicks, and you can get more rolls per hour, closes times, etc. as the event rolls on by doing objectives).

The main objective is to collect all the keys on a board and move to the next one with the final goal being to reach the 'Divine' or last board and win the Divine horse located there.

Along the way - you'll find Gifts to collect of different sizes - but you can't open your gifts until later in the promotion (when this is held around Christmas, usually you can't start opening them until the 25th (Christmas). It is unknown at this time if there will be a time restriction on when gifts can start being opened with the Summer Ride.

You and I could be digging in the exact same spot - but find entirely different things.



Say we're both digging in the Middle spot - we each have 10 digs to work with for the day. I might dig up:

Bone, Relic, Relic, Prize of 1x Black Orchid, Bone, Relic, Relic, Relic, Trap, Bone

You might dig up;

Bone, Relic, Prize of 1,000e, Bone, Relic, Relic, Relic, Relic, Relic, Prize of 20x Flax

Better prizes are not always found later into the Event, nor are they found the further you dig down *not that this matters, as you can only dig in a spot 3 times before it 'resets' and you can start digging it again*

What prize you find seems to be random - but of course, there are varying probabilities of finding them (ex. you are more likely to find 20x Flax than you are to find 1x Croesus Fortune, but you are more likely to find a Croesus Fortune than you are a Haflinger foal *these are just random prizes I chose for the example, these are NOT actual statistics*)

Also, the use of Mines may or may not result in better prizes - nor will the use of mines guarantee you find a prize.
