So we know that small prizes aren't all in the same spots, but do we know if the major prizes have moved too?

We haven't reached any of the major prizes yet, so it's impossible to tell until then. Only the players that have gone through the mazes with the bigger prizes will know.

*Updated masterpost for the upcoming M___ promo (updated calculations)*

default smiley (b) Promo and Divine
Click to display




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


default smiley (b) 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.


default smiley (b) How to Participate
Click to display
The 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 as you would have wasted steps. Besides paying passes for sweets/spyglasses/Titan's Challenges, you don't have to spend passes.


default smiley (b) Important Information
[spoiler]default smiley (b) Sweets can be found on *all* levels of the TC, and can still be won even if you lose (between 3-5 sweets per level)



default smiley (b) 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[/spoiler:0]

default smiley (b) Calculations
Click to display
Average number of sweets per TC level = 4 sweets

default smiley (b) 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!

default smiley (b) 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!

default smiley (b) 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!

default smiley (b) 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
-> 11.5 free moves (1st day of promo) + 2 free moves (last day of promo) = 13.5 free moves
-> 143 - 13.5 = 129.5 steps remaining (rounded to 130 steps)
-> 130 / 4 sweets (if stopping at 1st level of TC) = 32.5 TCs (64-66 passes)
OR
-> 130 / 8 sweets (if stopping at 2nd level of TC) = 16.25 TCs (32-34 passes)

This has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find it. Is there any word on whether Sekhmet will be made breedable in the future?

Well on the information it says Sekhmet can't be bred, but I guess they might change it

The Virgo description says "Virgo gives you .... a 3-day contract for one of the employees from your equestrian center"
So sounds to me like you have to already have an employee to get the contract?.

It could also just be really awkward wording. We won't know for sure until Wednesday comes around on PreProd.

Divine
Click to display



Virgo is one of the divine horses of the Zodiac.

Virgo gives you one gift every Wednesday (after the daily update), provided you logged in at least once over the previous 3 days and have an equestrian center: a 3-day contract for one of the employees from your equestrian center.

If you are born in this sign, Virgo offers 1 x The 5th Element every year on your birthday, if you log in that day.

In addition, on September 22, at the time of updating the website, a divine horse Virgo is offered to a player native of this sign.

*While not confirmed either way - I feel the contract perk might give you the employee (sort of like winning a 1-day contract from a HOP for an employee)

Everyone keeps saying to check this topic for maze maps but my map is a bit different from the ones here. As I can see from my map, the two "snakes" are not connected in any way.

On the list from the master post it says a shower. But someone got a shower from A1 and on the list it's an Apollo's lyre. So I guess J10 it isn't going to be a shower.
By shelbs, 29th July 2016 13:14:25
Meh. It was an Apollo's Lyre. I guess it's better than nothing!

For those commenting on Prizes in the Maze

In events like this - it is not uncommon for prizes to differ between what is on Preprod vs. what goes live (oftentimes, this is done to keep things fresh and surprising)...and indeed, with the current preprod session, the Howrse team stated that;

Note: The list of ingredients for recipes on preprod will be different from that of the production version.

*So while we might figure out on testing what makes what - it won't do us any good on live...so we'll have to all work together and pool our knowledge here


Anyhow - from the first maze, my prize list so far has included:

I2 = Vintage Apple
G3 = 500 oats
C3 = 5 Aging points
D6 = 1* Classical Bridle
H8 = 50 carrot
