it's for certain that you will get a draft if you get EVERY single gift? There WILL be one somewhere in the maze, you just might not get it? I'm confused.

Does anyone know how it will be determined if there will be one or two drafts placed somewhere on the board? I've heard both as far as they'll definitely be one and then possibly two? What decides who gets boards with two and who gets the boards with only one?

Also, is there anyway ahead of time to manipulate which board you get? I'm pretty sure the answer to that one is probably no but I thought I'd ask.

Is every board 100% totally random or are there say (For example) 15 different boards and it's just random luck who gets which one? I guess what I'm asking in other words if there might be a way to predict some kind of patterns if there's a set number of boards that just get mixed up between all the players.

The placement of prizes is not always the same. You can land on, for example, I2, and get a gift. Someone else lands on I2, and gets a gift. They will likely not be the same. At all of the places where a gift is positioned on the maps below, there is a gift. It will not be the same gift, but it will be A gift. For example, don't go to 11G, expecting a HG, or TC. There will be a gift there, it might be good, but it, also, will probably not be one.
Here is the Gaia map, posted by someone on Int:

Here is the Ouranos map:

For example, at S2, Gaia shows a carrot, and Ouranos shows leather. Neither of those are all that good. At I2, Gaia shows a HG, and Ouranos shows a TC. I'm wonlering whether there is some small strategy-- on certain places, there will be a gift of less quality, and, on other places, there will be a gift of higher quality.
Another example, at M9, Gaia shows a Western saddle cloth, Ouranos shows a Classical saddle. Both gifts of less quality. At 11J, they both show a TC. At 11G, again, they both show a TC and HG. But, instead, this time, it's Ouranos that shows the HG and Gaia that shows the TC.
Looking back at my observations, I'm beginning to wonder whether there is some strategy to the gift placement. Another observation is that most of the better gifts are more to the end. I'm not surprised by that, though. Also, most of the cheap gifts (tack, equus, store items) are on the route. Most of the better gifts are sort of off the route. Get what I mean? I'm not certain, but I'm beginning to guess...

So we know that there should be generally the small gift through out everyone's boards. However they will not be in the same spot generally as another player. Then also with live we will no longer know for sure if the little green gift boxes (the prizes) will be in the same spot as some will be moving as stated by ow to make things fair to those that aren't watching like hawks at all these spoilers. Is this all correct?

I had a theory when we first started seeing different maps to the maze and there prizes. However there has not been enough data to prove yes or no to it. So my request/suggestion would those on prepod be willing to make a list of the gifts they received and where and share with us ? The more data the better to analyze if there is anything to the gifts or if it is just random (well as random as coding allows).

This didn't take me as long as I thought it would to get a count of how many of each gift is in the Maze;



The blue number is how many times that Prize appears in the Maze (so the 2 next to the Percheron means there are 2 of them in the Maze)

As there is no difference in how the Equus shows on the map - the numbers for them could be wrong (I just took a guess, and of the 5 spots showing equus - this seems like a likely spread (2 of them give 6,000e, 3 give 1,000e))

If you collect all the Prizes - your total winnings are:

2 Whips
2 Bell boots
15,000e
3 Hera Packs
30 Aging points
150 Carrots
1,500 Oats
3 Zeus' Lightning Bolts
4 Fertility Wands
3 2* Classical Saddle Cloths
3 2* Western Saddle Cloths
2 2*Classical Saddles
3 Medusa's Blood
1 Seal of the Apocalypse
2 2* Classical Bridles
60 Leather
2 Showers
1 Hestia's Gift
3 Golden Apples
2 Water Troughs
2 Percherons
3 Philotes' Strokes
4 Helios' Rays
3 Apollo's Lyres
3 Lunges
3 Croesus' Fortunes
2 Titan's Challenges

But, the last bracket has to have a /, like this:

As you see in my post, I made some observations on gifts of higher quality being put in certain spots. Read it, and you'll see waht I'm trying to say.

start planning out how to go through the maze to get the eyeglass to see enough to make critical choices on certain spots on the map. I am planing to have a map up on my page (sort of like I have the piñata schedule now but in a spoiler banner) that I can update with gift positions as I find them and friend's finds that are going different directions I am. It will also have some paths set out for side roads and the white dotted path.

Flower Fight
*We've got another UFO throwing event - works the same as all the others of the past (snowball fight, candy throwing, etc)

UFOs have been replaced with flowers containing gifts.

The gifts come in pairs. That way, you can give the second one to a friend. All you have to do is throw the flower!

Happy Flower Fight to all!

Rewards
At the end of the contest, the players who have thrown the most gifts will receive:
1st: Greyfell
2nd to 10th: 1 x Nyx Pack
11th to 50th: 1 x Horn of Plenty
51th to 100th: 1 x Achilles' Heel
101th to 30000th: 1 x Medusa's Blood

Maze Information

Treats and field glasses 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. (So you can't care for him at all)

Big Prize : Find the Maze’s exit and win Lovely Blue
~
Lovely Blue is one of the Horses of the Rainbow.
Lovely Blue is a mare and can breed once in her lifetime with Shiny Yellow in order to give birth to Forest Green.
She gives you one diamond every Friday (after the daily update), provided you logged in at least once over the previous 3 days.
Once you own all the 7 Horses of the Rainbow, you can obtain Secret Rainbow.
Game:
1 x diamond every Friday
VIP:
Earn double morale when grooming your horses on Fridays
This mare cannot be sold.

General Notes about the Maze:

Moving backwards/to already revealed spaces DOES take energy

You must actually click on the Gift to gain it.

About Treats:
Each treat gives you one move in The maze that doesn't require energy.

*I actually landed on a treat in the maze, and it gave me 3 additional moves - so I believe it is one move per treat, but you may be able to find more than one treat at a time

While you can change your horse as often as you like - the energy used remains the same (so if you are at 0% energy - changing horses won't put you back up)

During this event - there will be Treats offered on Level 3 of the Titan's Challenge. The info I found stated that you will receive 6 to 10 treats on level 3 (note as usual, you must stop and claim your gifts)

Screen shots of moving through the Maze;



When you first start - it shows you a list of your horses (it showed all mine with the highest skills, thus the highest energy regain - but you can search for a different one as I did in this image). Notice that at the bottom under the horse's name it says the energy regeneration rate.



The start of the maze - notice there is only one direction to go:


Finding a Spyglass - as well as a fork in the road. Note the arrow over the spyglass indicating to click it to get its benefit:


About the Spyglass;
The spyglass reveals 10 new squares on The maze in order to help you find your way more easily.

Finding a Fertility Wand - again, you must click it to get the gift:


*on a different note - for those who have seen the screenshots I posted of the fully revealed maze map...So far, my maze has matched up to it perfectly so it seems that it might be the same for everyone. I'll let you know more once I get further along.

The problem is that the drafts she found in the spaces shown on that map I collected a gift, just no drafts. It isn't just that I didn't get any but quite a vfew got not a single one and I am sure they probably made a few detours I didn't.

I just don't want anyone disappointed if they actually get through and get none.

I got no drafts at all. It was suggested that at least 1 draft be on the direct path near the end of the promo. That would guarantee at least 1 draft.
