Arena Progress?

Hi there, quick question.. does anyone know the timeline for arena progression?  I have been told that it is a very slow process.  I have recently added more arenas so that I can help add more shows for when there are none available.  I've gained about 5% progress in one month's time, wondering when I can expect to progress past Novice so I can hopefully earn a little bit of $$ from training.  Thank you!

The more often it is used the faster it will progress. I will see if I can use it for training tomorrow to help out. 

Also interested in this... (If anyone has done any calculating...?)

I believe at novice level it is 1% per use. Also, I would recommend lowering the cost to the lowest possible($20 for novice) and it may get used more often that way.

Thank you so much!  And thank you for the info.

Every horse trained at the arena = 1 exp. I would recommend increasing the horse slots for each arena to progress them faster or you'll be there for years with 5 slots aha.

Even with the lowest charge for arena use, I wouldn't hold my breath.... Seriously!
I bought my deluxe exactly a year ago, set up my arenas straight away and guess how much arena progression I've got till now...?!: one international, two national, eight locals and the rest is still novice ! After a year of logging on every day! I bet fifty percent of my progression was done by my own horses...

Looks like you also have the minimum slot allowance per arena. I have 29 arenas in all the separate grades, probably trained 200 of my horses in each one that needed leveling up daily (25 > 50 > 100 horse slots respectively). Again I would recommend upgrading your horse slots, the more people that can use them then the faster they will level up.

So expensive of an investment for little return off the bat :/  I will expand mine now and hopefully that helps.  Thanks again everyone for the good info!

Like you said, it’s an investment, they will definitely make the money back and more over time. 

I have 150 arenas each with about 30 slots (a few have 50 which is what I'm working them all up to eventually when I remember to do that :'D ). I made that many back before the number of shows we could make a day was capped because I was wanting to make 10 shows per a level per a day. I collected my money on the 31st of December and currently I have just shy of 245k worth of training moolah I could collect (I wait until the end of the month to collect my money from my boarding/shows/training/riding stuff so its more obvious how much I'm getting, lol). It does pay for itself eventually, thankfully :D

Hi I'm Sab and I do Math. You can see the list of how much EXP it takes per level in the EV Tools and Information spreadsheet: Link to Forum post. It's on the All About Levels tab. To get to Local it is 100exp and you earn 1 exp per horse trained. It will take a total of 2225 trainings to reach International and be the highest grade. 
It is $5k per space so it gets expensive quickly to add more slots but at least 10 is a good number to start. Training slots rest every hour, so if you have limited slots try to space out your training. I recommend 25 so you can get a good amount of horses training at once if you can't be on for multiple hours a day.

Also have a section about Arenas in the Maximizing Deluxe Potential Guide that gives some more info too.
