Dragonvale Tips & Tricks! (NO Friend Requests!)

[GT500Girl]

In the great words of someone who got excited here recently 'squeeeeee'!!!! I just got one to create a set!!!!!!!! How long have I been playing this game and waiting for two of em??? Yippieeeee!!

My life is complete and now I can just play around with the statues and make em gold. * silly tears of joy*

Yay! Congrats Emma! Not only that but how long did it take you to get the first? I was starting to think DV had a problem with you! Lol. I'm really happy for you! :thumbs:

Ok well since the panlongs arrival I've added 16 to my DV world I have 3 suns 3 moons and 4 rainbows as opposed to when I had 8 rainbows since panlong is a faster gold generator. And constant air and sandstorm breeding and keep in mind that even though some don't like boosters I do use them. Also every few days I'll use 55,000,000 for food making so basically it's just collecting collecting collecting. And with so many friends sending gems on a regular basis it just helps for any new rare dragon breeding. Also for the gold shrine achievement I used poisons+poison for plant and fire sandstorm+sandstorm for earth and air storm+storm for cold and lightning and Seaweed+seawood for water. So far they have been the fastest breeding times I had found. Hope it helps. Breed on!!!!

This is my second comment on this outstanding information. In my opinion, the most importat thing that Adam said is ...constant Air and Sandstorm breeding. I think this is the best deal DV has to offer and the only way to generate the cash you need to buy the food you need to get the gold shrines. There are basically four approaches depending on if or how many gems you want to buy:

Conservative
You can do this free, albeit slowly. Put a pair of Sandstorms in one cave and a pair of Airs in the other. In 2 hours they will have incubated and you can place them in the hatchery. In 2 more hours you can sell them for $500,000. A relatively quick and absolutely free way to generate large sums of cash. If, as Adam says, you do it constantly.

Moderately Conservative
Wait one hour and pay one gem to incubate, wait two hours for egg to hatch free. One gem for the 500K.

Moderate Aggressive
Pay immediate two gems to incubate, then wait one hour and pay gem to hatch, or wait two hours for free hatch. Two or three gems for the 500K.

Aggressive
Pay immediate two gems to incubate and two gems to hatch. You've basically exchanged four gems for the 500K.

I use the Moderately Aggressive approach a lot: pay the gems to get the hatchery filled with eggs, then wait one or two hours depending on my mood and circumstances. Even though that's fairly accelerated (I'm an impatient guy), I find it to very cost effective.

Follow-up to my last post...

Again, in my opinion, the number two and three most effective gold coin generators, which Adam also alluded to, are:

(2) An Earth habitat filled with fully optimized Panlongs. It takes some setting up, but once it starts cranking out gold coins it never stops. It produces 1,233 coins a minute, which means it reaches the $75K limit (highest of all the regular habitats) in an hour! And just keeps on into eternity

(3) Rainbow dragon, the steady and sure one. At 400 coins a minute it can't compare with the Panic Pans, but with its million coin limit it takes the pressure off collecting coins.

When I made (the ridiculous) decision to go for the gold shrines, I set my park up with all three of these. And it's worked very well. I just got the Earth gold today and now there are only two left. I did use the aggressive Air/Sandstorm breeding approach a few times and spent a few bucks on gems, but that was the most efficient way to spend them.

OK, I'm done. Hope that helps. Just a long way of saying what Adam said.

Poppy, just read a few articles about your achievements, impressive!

Not fair to Google.

Could you be a little more specific about "finagle the setup a bit"? We're all struggling to generate the cash needed to achieve the gold shrines and I'm sure everyone would appreciate more detail.

Thanks!
Poppy

Well you of all people have one of the best setups. I have most of my dragons level 19 which generate a huge amount of coins. That's what keeps me going now. Like I mentioned like 100 pages ago (haha) I had over 400,000,000 coins save up which boosted my shrine count easily. Spent it all on food. Now I just collect everyday multiple times a day and I get enough for more food.

-Edit-
I also use the air and sandstorm trick. I think I've bred over 1500 of each since the shrine came out.

Yay crystal and blue fire. 48 hours. Rainbow? I hope

Here's hoping for you, it is one of the successful combinations. Good luck!

You know, like everyone, I was shocked at what it took to get the gold shrines. But a much greater shock lies ahead. You mentioned your Pans are at level 19 (what is the optimized production rate at that level?). Here's what it takes to get to level 19 folks:

15-16: 81,920 x 4 = 327,680 treats
16-17: 163,840 x 4 = 655,360
17-18: 327,680 x 4 = 1,310,720
18-19: 655,360 x 4 = 2,621,440

Total: 4,915,200 treats

It takes $1,000,000 to produce 20,000 treats. So you will need $245,760,000 in gold coIns.

I guess you can never say you are DONE in DV!

A really easy way for me to get 48 hours, either moon or sun was to breed love and cold. Got 2 days 1st time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just bred love and cold for the first time and got 48 hours breed time thanks. Am really hoping for a moon

Water + Water is 4 hours compared to Seaweeds 5, and they're both worth 250K. You get more XP with a seaweed, but it's only a few thousand different, and if you're already Level 30 it doesn't matter, lol.

Congratulations! I tried it yesterday hoping for a Moon but got Storm instead. Guessing I'll have to try it a few (or many!) times. Back on breeding airs at the moment coz I'm broke

 

[GT500Girl]

Yay! Congrats. Could be any of the 3. :thumbs: Hope it's your rainbow though!

Omg that is called panic attack! Lmao. The good thing is I know I will always have something to do. Especially with the updates because it sidetracks me for awhile and then back to the grind on shrines and leveling up. Haha
