I was looking at the number of skills my horses have, and how many paces are regenerated per hour respectively.

My results are listed below, but please note that I do not know the exact number of skills needed for each level of regeneration. To be safe, I would try to use a horse that has skills *above* the minimum of what I have found.

0 - 1485 skills = +3 per hour
1554 - 4632 skills = +4 per hour
4688+ skills = +5 per hour

These results will also be added to the topic in my EC forum, to keep everything in one place and easy to find.

I have a HoP and I was wondering when they were going to put a divine in the HoP?

Cancer will be in the HoPs.

What are the golden horshoes used for?

Thanks for the link, but it's still not quite what I am after. That is extra help to do the promo, but I need the initial information regarding the promo. For example, what are sweets? How do you get them? Paces? The kind of thing that Howrse would have posted when they introduced the promotion. Do you just go around a maze, or can you get kicked out if you make a wrong move? Does it cost passes to play? Etc.

the maze promo is all about moving one step (or pace) at a time towards the exit. One pace is made up of 10 points on a regeneration bar, which can increase by 3/4/5 points per hour, depending on how many skills your horse has. So if you have a top-skilled horse that regenerates 5 points per hour, it will take two hours for you to have enough points to move one step through the maze. Also, it's worth noting that you can't take care of the horse that you have chosen unless you switch it out/finish the maze.

Sweets can be picked up along the maze. Each sweet icon you come across gives you three sweets, which equal three free steps. You can also buy sweets for passes if need be, as well as spyglasses which can uncover more of the maze before you get to that area (since the maze is covered completely from the start, and you would need to uncover the squares as you go along). Sweets can also be found in levels of the Titan's Challenge once the offer becomes available.

You can't get kicked out for making 'wrong' moves, but it will take you longer to finish asa you would have wasted steps. Besides paying passes for sweets/spyglasses/Titan's Challenges, you don't have to spend passes.

Here is the opening pop-up at the start of the promo:

The Vintage Apple will be a prize in the upcoming Maze promo.

Maze 1: Drum Horse and Golden Horseshoe


Maze 2: Ow's Helios Ray and Golden Horseshoe


Maze 3: Titan's Challenge and Golden Horseshoe


Maze 4: Divine Sekhmet and Golden Horseshoe


Other information
- Maximum no. of points bar can hold = 100
- No. points recovered per hour = 3-5 (calculations are based on 5 to utilise the maximum possible number of strides)
- No. points needed per stride = 10 (better than the 20 points we needed last time!)
- Treats can be found on *all* levels of the TC, not just on the 3rd level.
- Mazes must be completed *in order*.
- When entering a new maze, points in the bar returns to 100.
- No teleports/shortcuts.

Number of skills needed for pace regeneration
Please note that I do not know the exact number of skills needed for each level of regeneration. To be safe, I would try to use a horse that has skills *above* the minimum of what I have found.

0 - 1485 skills = +3 per hour
1554 - 4632 skills = +4 per hour
4688+ skills = +5 per hour

Average number of sweets per TC level = 4 sweets

Maze 1 - Draft (Drum Horse)
If completing straight away...
-> 100 free paces = 10 free steps
-> 25 steps remaining / 4 sweets (if stopping at 1st level of TC) = 6.25 TCs (12-14 passes)
OR
-> 25 steps remaining / 8 sweets (if stopping at 2nd level of TC) = 3.125 TCs (6-8 passes)

If waiting for free steps...
-> Can be completed in 50 hours (2 days 2 hours)
-> No passes needed!

Maze 2 - Ow's Helios Ray
If completing straight away...
-> 100 free paces = 10 free steps
-> 69 steps remaining / 4 sweets (if stopping at 1st level of TC) = 17.25 TCs (34-36 passes)
OR
-> 69 steps remaining / 8 sweets (if stopping at 2nd level of TC) = 8.625 TCs (12-14 passes)

If waiting for free steps...
-> Can be completed in 138 hours (5 days 18 hours)
-> Would take 7 days 20 hours with maze 1
-> No passes needed!

Maze 3 - Titan's Challenge
If completing straight away...
-> 100 free paces = 10 free steps
-> 109 steps remaining / 4 sweets (if stopping at 1st level of TC) = 27.25 TCs (54-56 passes)
OR
-> 109 steps remaining / 8 sweets (if stopping at 2nd level of TC) = 13.625 TCs (26-28 passes)

If waiting for free steps...
-> Can be completed in 218 hours (9 days 4 hours)
-> Would take 16 days 0 hours with mazes 1 and 2
-> No passes needed!

Maze 4 - Divine (Sekhmet)
If completing straight away...
-> 100 free paces = 10 free steps
-> 143 steps remaining / 4 sweets (if stopping at 1st level of TC) = 35.75 TCs (70-72 passes)
OR
-> 143 steps remaining / 8 sweets (if stopping at 2nd level of TC) = 17.875 TCs (34-36 passes)

If waiting for free steps...
-> Can be completed in 286 hours (11 days 22 hours)
-> Would take 28 days 22 hours with mazes 1, 2 and 3
-> Need passes to finish

Pass calculations...
-> 100 free paces = 10 free steps
-> 143 steps remaining
-> Promo runs for 19 days (estimated)
-> 19 - 17 days (time taken to complete previous three mazes) = 2 days remaining
-> 12 free moves per day x 2 = 24 free steps
-> 143 - 24 = 119 steps remaining
-> 119 / 4 sweets (if stopping at 1st level of TC) = 29.75 TCs (58-60 passes)
OR
-> 119 / 8 sweets (if stopping at 2nd level of TC) = 14.875 TCs (28-30 passes)

New Draft Horse breed - the Drum Horse!


The bay tovero coat can be seen below:

Does anyone know what GP the Drum Horses are going to start at? I know for foundies, it's based off the GP of the top horse of whatever breed they are, but what happens when they introduce a new breed? Does it start at 350 again, or will it be higher?

When the Selle unicorns were introduced they had 1600 odd GP or something like that. And looking at the base skill set in the directory picture Speedy provided it looks like the Drum horse will also start off with over 1000GP. Which is unfortunate as you'll have no idea how far the GP has progressed over time.

This is what my Drum Horse's gp is (ignore the BLUP, I was training whilst aging):


They have 0 skills when you first obtain them, but mine can have the following skills if I fully train it at an EC with 0.440 skill gain (I doubled the usual 0.220 for regular horses, since drafts have twice the earnings) and without beach rides.
