You haven't heard much from me lately because I spend all my time on the gold shrine project. With my Chinese Gold Coin factory and a few gems a day it's going much more rapidly than I anticipated. The initial investment in the factory is serving me well. And now it's great to know I can store all those Panlongs, Bluefires and Frostfires once I'm done. Kind of like having an armory.
Breeding Sandstorms and Airs with their 2+2 times for $500K has been a huge help. During the day I wait an hour and hatch them for one gem. At night I'm always there a couple of times to collect coins, and I let the Sandstorms and Airs hatch for zero and restart them. Of course it costs me four gems when I restart the process, two for one in each cave. Still, for a very modest number of gems I get several cycles a day.
Also speaking of gems... I received several overnight - thank you! - but as I'm in bed in the dark I can't write them down. I maintain a list of those who send me gems, so please let know if you sent me one last so I can add your name to list.
And good morning from the mountains in Oregon,
Poppy
P.S. I'll provide you with my gold shrine scorecard later today. I think you will be surprised - I know I am. Can't wait to get that project completed so I can repopulate Nursery Island, which looks a little sad at the moment. I miss my babies and the grand kids aren't very patient. For now I'm keeping them entertained with the new finches, and a new baby canary.
