Dragonvale: Strategies/Tips (NOT an add me thread)

[Yasha65]

Just popping in and saying hi from a warm and sunny Croatia. It's about 40 degrees C daytime and 28 C in the ocean, so no need to feel sorry for me.

When I left Sweden I was happy I managed to breed two of each before going and POOF, there came the Seasonal?!? I really didn't need that one. *haha* And now two more?!? Rain and Ironwood. Come on BFS! The pace really is crazy. I KNOW that we asked for more dragons, but this is ridiculous. Really.

I agree with all of you regarding dragon count vs habitats and game level. Had to sell of Rainbow habitats for Seasonal and I can't display all the dragons now, unless I sell off more Rainbow/Moon habitats. Don't want to, but I DO want to display one of each dragon ever available. That's me.

Am sneeking WiFi connection from unknown neighbour with unlocked network. Kind of unstable, but welcome when available.

Now it's time for breakfast, then off to the beach. Such hard labor, spending time off work.

(By the way, I have been lucky with breeding the new ones with suggested combos, but still haven't had luck with Ironwood)

Happy breeding everyone! <3

To finish on a high, I managed to get an ironwood, hatched it last night.
Gotta give the credit to Eugekava for this one (again) cos I used his combo and got it first try (sorry mate, hope you get one soon)

Hi, GirlPower. Congrats on ironwood. I am still having no luck with Iron/Plant. Will keep trying though. Not really fussed about this one as it is a recolour.
Got a second Peridot incubating. Got it right after the crystal fail. Will display this one as all the spots on gem island are full.

With Gold may be you should try willow and brass. Some people are reporting success with this.

LOL, Im no closer to finishing egg collection than I am with yellow shrines....too busy trying to keep up with all the new dragons, and juggling their living arrangements....enough said (listening BS?)
PS. Thanx for request, now accepted

Yeah i meant gold. I also meant that when I get my second gold, I will breed with my first gold, and likewise with seasonal.

Also for gold, try Brass and fire. There is only two outcomes, the non gold being only 5 hrs.

Totally agree on the LYD comment.....too much pressure, reminds me of the Emerald dragon too...only had approx 2 weeks to get that which was ridiculous considering it's supposed to be for a full month.....these are the times I get quiet annoyed with BS and consider them plain greedy cos Im guessing many would buckle and buy gems like there's no tomorrow...that's what this app can do to us if we let it

I wonder if players ever go back to their DV receipts and actually add up what they've spent since they started playing, could be quiet a shock for some?
Guess that's me being a party pooper now....guess who does the budget in my house....that would be me then LOL.

It's always so difficult when we know one or more of our forum friends are really struggling to get their dragon and we already have ours (I would love nothing more than all posters to get dragons). I don't mind that they are often challenging....would be very boring otherwise, but I find it hard when most have theirs and only one or two don't....just seems so unfair.

In saying that....I have had my fair share of ‘challenges', always a welcome change when I get them in a shorter time span.......Gold is definitely not included in this sentence....still trying with flower/metal combo....don't like those forge fails at all can't help but wonder if I should try something different, always hard to know how long to keep with one combo....drat that Goldie!!!

To finish on a high, I managed to get an ironwood, hatched it last night.

How is everyone else going with their dragons....updates please
Oh, and hope those still needing a peridot get one soon, fingers and toes crossed

And on Backflip's side of the receipts, they must be jumping up and down in glee seeing all of those digits adding up from our expenses.
Oh Girlpower, since you are in charge of the budget, you could always, as accountants call it, "cook the books" here and there and they won't notice.

Fully agree with you on that. Especially if those dragons mean something special to them in the first place. Seeing these posters not getting it after all of that time makes me feel like I failed in something. It doesn't feel the same knowing that our friends couldn't get one while we get to see our little dragon flying around on our islands.

On the Goldie, I actually agree with Eugekava on trying out his combo. Flower/Metal is a big meanie with Forge fails and whatnot. I was just very lucky to get one without many tries. Willow/Brass will have more possibilities, which also means there are fewer chances of getting Forge.

And congrats on Ironwood! That's a great way to finish off any post anyday! I think got a little Ironwood cooking as well this morning (was it 10 gems to speed up)? I didn't really have a chance to look at it's info other than it was Metal and Plant combo. lol~

Wow! Congrats on getting all of those dragons even with such limited access to Wifi! The wizards must have known you will be on vacation, so they are sending some go away presents to remind you of them.

That's the same with me, I want to have at least one dragon on display at all times just to show them off. lol! With such a limit on habitats though, it's getting really hard to manage it all. @.@

I see you're being a little sneaky there Yasha! It happens to me too when it's late at night. I usually shut of my router at home to try and not run up the electric bills, so when I see that notification pop up before I'm asleep, I'll try and see if some unlocked wifi is around. I'm too addicted to this game!!

EDIT: Almost forgot to say good luck with the dragons you are trying to get! Hopefully BFS does not decide to spring out another dragon on us anytime soon!

Backflip does rely on the purchases of gems as their main source of income from DV. I guess the wizards prefer letting those hackers slide.

That's why you can buy them ouright.

(my sig is always behind, throw in olympics, peridot, seasonal, pair of ironwoods I think)

Hey -speed reading here, I've slipped behind again-
How'd you get your ironwood and someone (aiera?) got a seasonal- how? Or with what pair? I finally got two rain - quite surprised after many fog fails. And grats to you both! I visited eugekava and was quite surprised to see a crystal/cactus fluttering about in a breeding zone. Heehee. So sorry it went sour on you. Really can't blame you for being pissed.
So I still need Ironwood and Seasonal.

Has anyone heard anything about Dragonvale being replaced by another game by backflip.

Well my friend hacked mine for me, so now I have 45k gems. Make of it what you will, but I haven't used it in anything, except speeding up things, breeding upgrades, and dragonsai tree,

Nope. Where did you here that?
