Just got a message from howrse on the test server :
Click to display
Hello •I Aᴍ Tʜᴇ Rᴇᴀᴘᴇʀ•,

It seems you are lost in The maze.
We wanted to help you by giving you 3x Treats. We have also revealed a portion of the map to help you find your way around.

Good luck,
The Howrse team

For those wondering about the upcoming Promotion:

Click to display
We just now started testing finding Treats in the Titan's Challenge on Level 3 - so it is now confirmed that Treats are in the TCs.

And as I thought, it is one move per treat won. I'll try a few and let you know how it goes:

I tried 4 times - failed to reach level 3 on 2 of them. The two that I did make it with:

6 treats
7 treats

Questions about the promo in spoiler
Click to display
what skills will the horse I take need to have for maximum whatever it is that skills effect? Are divine horses better for this? Do the skills have to be in one category, or is it total skills? Is there a cap, or just 'the more stills the better'?

It will give you a list of horses, and the ones that give 5% of energy per hour are best to use. So far, my older team horses all work for the 5% bonus. It's total skills, and the more skills the better.
On a side note, the most treats I have gotten from the TC is 10. Has anyone gotten more?

From what I've seen;

Click to display
The higher the skills - the better (but no horse will gain more than 5% per hour). The horse I am currently using has a total skill count of 3930.27 - and gains back 5% per hour (so it seems at least 3000 skills might be needed).


@LaGitana

Click to display
10 is the most - 6 is the least.

I got 6 and 7 most of the time, but got 8, 9, and 10 every once in awhile.


Also, promo image and information;

Click to display
This is what it looks like when you reach the end:



However, I can not seem to find a way to re-enter into the Maze (I am stuck on the above screen) - so it seems that once you exit...that might be it.

There is no way to return inside the maze once it's completed.
Basically here it's possible because we are unrestricted.
On the real version it's unlikely that it will happen hence why it's not really planned to work when it happens default smiley :).

I noticed in the picture for the M. promo, there are lottery tickets floating. Can someone who's on preprod tell me why? Thanks! {I don't think any of that needed to be in a spoiler...}
Darn :/ I don't know if I want to take the fastest route to Lovely Blue or to just get all the gifts I can

Click to display
If you mean the little colored squares that are near the top of the image I posted - those are not lottery tickets...That's just a confetti animation to celebrate reaching the end.

If you mean something else - please let me know (though there is no lottery being tested right now that I know of)

Oh! Yeah, that's what I was talking about. They just look like lottery tickets. Thanks!

It is only on the test server at the moment. So it may be out a couple weeks after the pinatas are done

Well...

Click to display
Following the route to Lovely Blue (with one or two minor errors) - I found a total of 35 different gifts: Here's my Winnings after exiting the maze;



Of course - remember that while everyone has a gift in the Same Spot on their map - what gift is at that spot will be different for everyone.


And now - probably what everyone wants...Promotion Numbers;

Click to display
To get out of the maze using nothing but the Titan's Challenges (after getting along as far as I could from when this started to now) - I used a total of 36 Titan's Challenges. I did not win Treats every time - but I did win treats 22 times out of my 36 tries.

Here's how many times I won each amount of treats (between 6 and 10):

6 = 3 times
7 = 8 times
8 = 5 times
9 = 4 times
10 = 2 times

So based on MY numbers - it seems a player is more likely to win between 7 - 9 treats than they are to win 6 or 10.

Based on information from the time line;

Click to display
The maze will probably start around the middle of May (as it is how the first Draft horse breed will be added to the game - and the Time line stated that Drafts would be added in May)

Bear in mind Shorah rushed through to the end. There is still plenty of time left to move via energy recharging

That's true but it's impossible to finish the maze without using a bunch of TCs anyway. Someone estimated 30 days or so to actually finish it without using passes, but we have about 16 days.

and bringing this forward for people who are a bit confused about the recent posts about the new promo;

Click to display

The Maze
progress inside the Maze and stock up on goodies !

Treats and spyglasses will help you find your way out of the Maze!

How to move inside the Maze?

Move by clicking on the direction you wish to explore.

A Move costs either:
*A Treat
*20% of energy

You will need to choose a horse to follow you inside the Maze to go and rescue Lovely Blue who is kept prisoner on the island.

Depending on the skills of the horse you chose to follow you, you get between 2 and 5% of energy back per hour.

You can change horse along the way but when your horse is registered to help you in the Maze you cannot do anything with him outside.

Big Prize :
Find the Maze’s exit and win Lovely Blue
~
So when the promotion starts - you will choose which of your horses you want to use in the Maze. By default - it will show you those with the highest energy recovery rate per hour - but you can search for and use a different one (for best results - use one who recovers 5% per hour).

This is how the maze looks when you start;


*Note the energy bar underneath my horse's picture. This is a Separate energy bar than the one on his page (so once it is empty - switching horses won't refill it)

As you make moves in the Maze - you'll notice that the mini-map updates as well;


Along the way you can find Treats (which give you additional moves without using Energy), Spyglasses (which reveal 10 spots on your map so you can better find your way), and Gifts (which give you items) - note you MUST click on these items to receive them/the benefit they offer.

Here are two fully revealed Maps. The maze is the same for everyone, as is the location of gifts, spyglasses, and treats. However, what gift you find at a gift location will be random (so you might find a Fertility wand, I might find a Helios' Ray, etc).


The Red line is the Shortest route through the maze. The White Dot line is simply another route you can take (notice that they stopped for more treats and gifts on the White Dot path)

As for the Prizes you can win - this is the complete list and how many of each are in the maze (remember - everyone has the same prizes, just not in the same spots, so no one will have more than 1 Seal of the Apocalypse in their maze for example:


~
Note that once you reach the end and exit to find Lovely Blue - you can NOT re-enter the Maze! So if you want the Divine - be prepared to give up some extra gifts (though by my calculations - you'll still find at least 30 gifts in the Maze if you follow the Red line route so it's not a total sacrifice to go directly for the divine.

@kool007kat

Indeed I did rush (which is probably why my numbers are a bit high) default smiley ;) But the only reason I rushed was to get the answer to a question everyone wanted to know.

Click to display
That question being:

Can you re-enter the Maze after exiting it?
The answer; No, you can not.


Oh, the things I do to help you folks learn about promotions and answer questions. default smiley <:o)

I decided to try for the gifts. I don't have any passes so I'm not going to be able to get to Lovely Blue. Oh well. But there are some nice gifts in there! I want a GA.
By Retired breeder, 27th April 2015 14:10:37
What does everyone mean "Treats"?
Give up gifts...? What??
