I don't believe it. I'm 5 tickets away from being able to buy the loot dragon. I was planning on CBCing it, just thought it would b easier to buy. But. 5.

*Methodically bangs head against wall*

So close... I'd personally spend the .99, because I really don't need the treats that those 5060 tickets would be converted into...

To all the players who have decided to take a pass on the Garden Gnomes™:
What if in the not to distant future BFS decides to animate the little guys? 
Imagine if on Halloween they all jump up and start Trick or Treating around the Habitats?
Or at Christmas an epic Garden Gnome™ snowball fight ensues?
BFS really should put me in charge of their Animation Creation team.
Of couse all of the preceding would only happen after the Firework Cauldrons went live!

What's a better way to get Mono 5 - breeding Mono 1+2 together at my island and cave, or co-op breeding Mono 1 with someone's Mono 5?

I'm guessing it's the former because epic chances in the CBC are so low...

Mono2+Mono2 in the cave worked for me - after about 45 tries (lots of short fails, tho, but No Crystal Fails!).

Don't worry Cyn, you aren't the only one to get the little guys. I'm sportin' them in my park too.  I decided to buy the ones that make up the colors of the rainbow (ROY G. BIV, haha, although I had to substitute "Sandy" for the true "Yellow", because it would otherwise be the only one not standing upright), and have them in an arch of sorts on my rainbow island.....and if I may say so, they look fabulous! 

Now, if what you described above ever happens, that would really be something!

I Garden Gnomes™ed I could spring for one token Garden Gnome™ to cut a fine Garden Gnomes™e beside the Nursery.

edit: the "trade mark" is so cute! (But I couldn't abbreviate it without incurring a T-Mobile ) (hmmm: tee-em!)

I was considering buying a couple--at least, one--but I have exactly 4039 tickets left and planned an Omnitat with those. 39 remaining tickets isn't going to get me a Garden Gnome™.  Alas, I shall remain gnomeless until such time as BFS brings them back, I suppose. *falls weeping onto couch*


Seriously though, in my travels around parks this weekend, I saw a couple of people had incorporated them with some of the Christmas decorations, which looked adorable. I'm a little sorry not to get one.

I am scrambling to get a Garland before it goes away by the end of the month. Any tips?

I noticed that the light/dark reward habitats can't be upgraded when you use your wish on them. Sent a message to backflip about it to see if they would consider letting people upgrade the habitats since they are a waste if you can't. Hopefully I don't get a generic response from them...

Arbor & Cotton worked for me really well!

I am interested in the response to this inquiry. Pen or anyone else gets a response, please share! Thanks.

The originals aren't upgradeable either, so I would have been surprised to find that the ones from the Wishing Well were different. But as there's no way for a player who wasn't around for the Rift event to know that, perhaps they'll change it. At the least, they should put a note in the description.

Me too. I'm still holding on to my wish, but if I can get another giant Dark Reward (or even just a large one), I'm using it immediately.

IMO they should just unlock upgrading them during BEB.

Me too. I'm holding on to my wish as well. Only thing I don't have is the giant light. Drat. Wish I had known to grind bushes then but it was the first event and I was slow. Thanks to this forum I banked tickets so I ended up with 3 sets of garden gnomes. Sigh the trademark is beyond my knowledge of iPhones.

I copied & pasted it from Cyn's post, but you got me thinking...so Google to the rescue: ™ is buried in the emoji keyboard under "Objects & Symbols". Once you use it once, it should be available in your recent emoji menu for future use.

OMG I think I finally have a Muse in the CBC - 36 hours with a Bronze Olympus and the Muse of a kind Android user. Now I did use the last of my tickets on a garden gnome before that - do you think it helped??

True but then I'd have 65 tix extra and... Fine, I'll cough up the $1.29. I'm sure I have a gift card somewhere...

Do those habitats count against the max?

Yes, but Snowflake 5 and Mono 5 are exempt from that rule, as is their wont.

Can you please clarify what you mean by SF 5 & Mono 5 being exempt?

Just bumping this since i haven't gotten any feedback: "Can you (or anyone) please clarify what is meant by SF 5 & Mono 5 being exempt?"

Not sure of the original context but mono and SF follow slightly different rules to other epics. Both parents must be mono to breed another mono. Ditto snowflakes. Other epics only need one parent the same.

I don't know, but I would expect this will mean you will need to breed moX + mo5 to get a mo5 once they have expired.

With any normal *expired* hybrid dragon (those that can be fed to L20), you need 2 to get another (Bone, Reindeer, Love etc)

With any normal expired Epic dragon (can only go to L10/15), you only need 1 and another epic to get another (Apocalypse, Nightmare, Leap Year)

Monos and Snowflakes are Epics, but .. different. You need 2 Monos to get another, so Mono 1 x Mono 2 can give you any of Mono 1 to 5

When the Monos 1-4 (and Snowflakes) were introduced, they were marked as going to expire and they did, and then everyone complained loudly and they came back as permanent dragons. And there was much rejoicing.

And then they introduced Mono 5 and Snowflake 5, and they are marked as available (time) Limited dragons in the Dragonarium, So you currently can get them by breeding 2 Monos or 2 Snowflakes together.

But when (if) they expire... no one currently knows what will happen to them except BFS.  They *might* still be available if you have no Mono 5, by breeding 2 other Monos together. They might only be available if you have 1, if you breed with another in the coop. They might be available by breeding Mono 5 with another Mono. We will find out later.

Nope. They are worth it in that way.

Someone said they only hold one dragon? I would have thought 2 like the regular habitats.

And the problem with being able to upgrade them is that they cease to be special for the players that worked so hard to earn the Large/Giant habitats originally.
