Dragonvale Tips & Tricks! (NO Friend Requests!)

Aj1029384756 I hope you are out there! Did you change your GC ID? I am trying to send you a gem but cannot find you in my list anymore. Hope I find you as I would like to give your gem back. I looked through my list several times with no luck.

No, because to get level 2 it costs 5 x 4, hence 20.

Working it out is actually much simpler than listing of the numbers I did. Because it doubles every level, you can work out total food required to get to any level by doubling the amount it costs to jump the last level and subtract the cost of moving from level 1 to 2. So in this case it's twice what it costs to go from level 14 to level 15, minus the cost of going from level 1 to level 2. Or (163 840 X 2) - 20 = 327 660.

Another way of putting it is that to go up any level, you need to feed them the same amount of food they've ever eaten again plus another 20 food.

The exponential graph looks like this:

The food required to reach the lower levels doesn't even make a blip till you get to level 12.

uh oh. A *true* math geek amongst us! ;-) (but really, thanks!)

Im glad u can be patient. Bc i cant be.

I'll save you the trouble. It takes about 393,000 to go from 1-15. It also takes about 10,000,000 to go from 15-20. It's insane lol that's the reason I only have 1 level 20 dragon.

-EDIT-
I didn't quote that post. I quote your post about going from 1-15. Not sure what happened there.

The last thing I did last night before I went to sleep was to do some quick rejuggling of my dragon deployment. I had eight Earth habitats with three Panicky Pans in each one and four Cold habitats with three Frostfires and/or Bluefires in each. The Earth habitats reach their $75K limit in an hour and the Cold habitats were about the same. Meanwhile I had seven rares in the HC. The balance was off as I hated to think of all the wasted production while I failed to collect coins during the night. (This is the downside of being a hyper Type A, folks - I have no mechanism to control pace. Only two speeds - On & Off. Pretty primitive, but you gotta play the cards you're dealt.)

I really needed to balance things better to reduce the pressure to collect coins. So I reduced the number of Panicky Pan habitats to six, removed all the Cold habitats, and put those dragons in the HC (have I mentioned how much I love the HC?). That enabled me to roll out five Rainbows and a Sun. I've mentioned it before - its a balanced Tortoise & Hare approach. The PP's collect coins in a frenzy but cap out quickly, while the Rainbows collect at a more moderate pace but just keep on going with their $1M limit. I think the balance for my personality is about right. I actually did sleep better last night.

Anyway, Rainbow Island replaces Cascades Mountain Island.

I did see your new creation and like always it's beautifully done. Spent time watching all the babies and thought Lava was once cute before it's fed. I am glad you got a good sleep last night.

Change in Party Hat Policy?

I could be all wet about this, but BFS may have changed their party hat policy. As you know, it's always been 24 hours per park. Now it looks like it might be a daily thing across all parks. I could swear that some of parks I visited late night have had party hats available this morning.

BTW, I like the party hat thing. As someone has mentioned before, there's a Where's Wally aspect to it; you get to see what other folks are doing and get design ideas and; it's really pretty lucrative. I can pick up over $3M a day in gold coins if I visit them all.

Thank you! I really did sleep better. It was like the $75K from the Pans was a bonus as opposed to lost opportunity.

Thanks and I have 6 lvl 15 dragons I haven't worked on some of my silver shrines much for air and water cold is almost done but I'm thinking about continuing them. Plus I'm gonna leave all my dragons on lvl 19 so If they up the shrines even more to like platinum or something. But I like the orbs on the dragons better than the crowns

Hi friends, I need your help! Over the past few days i noticed that I've been losing interest in DV!!! I have a lot of cr*p going on at home (MIL milking her knee injury) and I also put yet another moon in my nursery. I just can't get a sun and it's getting to me.

Has anybody else here gone through a period like this and come around again?

 

[Segbert]

Okay, this is not good. Last night after I realized how much food is required I said to me hubby, I think you will see more of me as I am going cold turkey.

I am still here and still moving habitats, collecting coins. This is a sickness. Beware newbies.

I am lost at their strategy re party hats, t'is happening later and later in the day. Sometimes there is only one, sometimes some islands have them but not others ... Am puzzled

My main enterprise for real money at the moment, outside of trading stocks, is a company called 406 Strategies | Small & Local Business Internet Marketing. 501 Strategies, an initiative to provide Internet marketing services to non-profits is real, but on the back burner at the moment.

Hi all, I am a silent lurker spying on this forum to get great tips, I have added some ppl and hope you'll accept my friend request as the only DV friend I have is my sister! I'd love to look at other people's islands to get ideas as I'm not the most creative person (as you will see). Got a rainbow and moon but still trying for a sun, panlong, sandstorm, frost fire and a darn blue fire which I want more than anything but can't get aarrghhh!!

Cheers!! Nicole

With dragonvale yes I've played since the day this game came out. And I still don't have a sandstorm moon or rainbow so Ik how it feels to not get what u want just hold in there. Nd hope everything at home gets better.

That's when you get welcomed into DA( dragonvale Anonomous). Symptoms include not being able to go anywhere without your iPad, iPhone extra. Wondering what dragon will next be bred, an impatience in having to wait for your dragons to finish breeding only to send them back into the cave, and spending vast amounts of money on food for your pets.

Lmao .... Too true x
