The 'prizes' appear to be Plants or Plant matter of some sort

where I live we have Adobe Soil, the indians made adobe bricks with them..they are tan and not white as ours look like beautiful marble .....but I have not seen them up close yet...
waves and flies off to maze...

Yeah...these don't look like adobe to me....more like REALLY white stucco. Odd. Still haven't gotten whatever the prize is.

Corn field maze prize is a blue plant called a 'CENTURY PLANT'.

Haven't come across a cracked wall yet...hoping there aren't any in these mazes. LOL.

Thanks for the update! I'll update the first post with pics in a bit.

Ugh! I only pulled 1 cracked wall out of the last maze. Who knows what we'll find with this one?!

Thanks!

I haven't pulled one of those Yuccas yet to post a pic, only the Century so far.

Alright, so ... hate to be the bearer of bad news. Well, not bad news ~ because the walls are nice, but the odds of pulling them, again are as ridiculous as the Cracked Tiki Walls!

But, there are 2 Mystery Walls in the mazes this time around. As seen in game... I personally have not pulled either of them yet, to get a better screen shot here.

Adobe Wall - Stepped - 4x3

Adobe Window Wall

Yay indeed! Still vegetation....but at least they're not more topiaries.

And thanks much to those who got the pics for this thread. Flame was way slow on that.

Flamanar...can you only display the 'century plant' once every 100 years?...

Anybody else think the Window Wall looks more like a prison wall?

I agree with the window walls, they look like a pirate's prison! Now, where is that dog with the keys....

Are you sure the mazes give out step or window walls? LOL
245 tries = 237 plain walls, 4 yucca, 4 century plants and 0 specialty walls.

True, I'm not known for my luck at things like drawings, but seriously. Thats like a 3% chance for a plant. And I know that the more 'serious' players probably have thousands of the walls to increase their chances for the specialty walls. Well, it's only the second week of the month, so if this particular maze stays for awhile, I've still got a chance.....

That sounds about right, Golden. It takes hundreds of tries typically to get a step or window wall. The people that have them ran the maze a GREAT many times before they got one. Or they traded for one. The plants you got sound about right, too. Very stingy mazes...

Astro · « **Reply #21 on:** September 10, 2009, 12:45 PM »

Yup, the odds are insane! I gave up and traded for a Window Wall finally. I had only received the Stepped Wall after a ton of tries. You don't even want to know how many times I had run those mazes! LOL!

I was beginning to hear rumors that it was avatar specific, and not really just random. Which was even more frustrating for me to hear .... So, I was so curious as to what the odds were, one day (last week I think?), I sent a Help Report. This is what Vintage had to say below: It is NOT Avatar specific, it is totally random.

PrincessWendyBird · « **Reply #22 on:** September 10, 2009, 04:41 PM »

That is good to know Astro. I had also heard that rumor about it being Avatar specific, but figured it might be a rumor. So, you actually traded for one of the walls, huh? Aren't you going to miss your first born once you've traded him for a window wall?

OK, just kidding, just kidding. Mazes, Crosswords, Rare Walls, OH MY!!!

Yup, I did trade for the Window Wall ~ painless trade really. Sounds like the person had more than 1, not sure. I got really tired of running the maze, only to end up with nothing ~ hit the trade rooms. Red beachballs come in very handy in trades.

People either hate 'em, or love 'em ... and sometimes can be found for cheap! Person either didn't have it, or was collecting them for whatever reason. Either way, it was a great trade for me ~ 1 Red Beach for 1 Window Wall.
