Is the Midday dragon available in co-op breeding? One of my friends is sharing it but I still haven't gotten one yet.

Fletch_smf said that the epic cloning chance for Midday is just 1% in the co-op cave. It might take you a while if that's true.

Those are pretty ridiculous odds... they really want you to buy it with tickets.

I bought my first Midday with tickets, now have a second from co-op breeding with another player. Trying for display egg, re-breeding with same player's Midday. Patience is the name of the game!

Wouldn't it be nice to have a Island for every breed of dragons?

Archipelago consists of 232 islands...hhmmm, long way to go considering we are only up to the 13th island.

I used to have an island full of Lotus, and now currently displaying an island full of Sakura.

BS - What should I do w/ all the save tickets from gem buddies? Thank you!

Today I will be away from wifi most of the day, so I started using some of my backlog of tickets from friends to make the daily limit. After a few (I wasn't counting) I got a pop up saying I had hit the limit for tickets from friends. Looks like banking friends tickets may be problematic.

Thanks for the tip. Sometimes it's very hard finding those party hats.

If you visit any other Friend before Nogard, he drops off your list and you can't visit him in that Event period.

I also did some social menu science. I had a couple questions, and now I have more of them.

I was 6 away from the cap, and here's screenshots from before and after collecting.

Before


After


I did not swap these images. Somehow I ended up with more tickets than I started with.

I just did that again.

I redeemed 81 tickets and went from 990 to 1309. It seems like 400 tickets just materialize whenever I do that. I'm not complaining.

At that rate, you'll Never be able to use all your tickets!

I am actually going to make several wishes, can't just toss a coin in the fountain and not making a wish aloud each day.

1. Wish I can gift a dragon to a friend, each month.

2. Wish I have an option to upgrade my Hibernation Cave from 300 to 400.

3. Wish for increases in dragon capacity in the Large Rainbow, Sun, Moon, Treasure habitats, but not their sizes.

Hear!! Hear!!

They used to say in the Army,"Tell it to the chaplain," but for DV, I'd say, "Tell it to 'Dear BFS'"!!

I found that if you visit anyone else first, that Nogard does drop off your list when you hit social to go to the next friend's park, but if you go home he reappears so you can visit him.

I had a BFS Gift for 821 tickets, redeemed it with 7 to go before hitting the cap. I got a popup that I had hit the cap and that 814 tickets had been added to my gifts. My new Gift has 1535 tickets!

Methinks we have an exploit here boys and girls...

So I decided to just go ahead and try this and it worked! Took a bunch of before and after screenshots though in case something happens though.

The wiki says there's a friend cap of 120.

Okay! I feel better now. Does anyone know the magic number? Or is it just a way to get us to work together? 

The number will bw the one showing on sept 21 or 28th. They cannot take the risk of saying : well, if we had had just 2 more hits you would have been granted the surprise gift lol

Btw, am astonished that none of our calculation geniuses here have searched the number of people playing ie throwing a dime in the well. Considering that the reset time is the same for all players, and also the number of days we have been playing, that should be easy for them. (I can t calculate, t is too hot here!)

There is a number showing and a progress bar. Might be a little under 10% at 1.7 million, so 20 million wishes seems like it might be right. 300 000 wishes a day would take 66 days, about the length of the event.

That actually seems a bit too close for comfort. Maybe 15 million? That would wrap it up in about 50 days.

But I collected 180 from friends today and 220 yesterday.

[micheseid]

Off topic.

A game friend has a 2X and timer glowing in his xp bar. I seen it a few times on other peoples pictures. Why is that?

Did you actually collect them or did they just appear in your gifts menu?
I hit the cap when I collected them. I receive more than 120 a day, but normally don't hit collect on most. Today I did. And hit a limit. 120 seems about right. But as I said, I didn't count.

Recent change to the game included the ability to buy double experience points for a set period of time. Not sure why you would, but it appears your friend has bought it.
Check the market place for pricing and durations. There are several.

I actually collected them. I compared my total amount of tickets before and after collecting them. The difference was correct.

And during doubles I collected 320 one day.

Seen it in the market, but no need for me to purchase. I was worried cause he posted about buying gems for other. Feared he may hack my stuff!!

12th Island Available in Market!!


(does happy dance)

NVM.    Already have them. Pfffff


(Starts to cry)

No tears... Maybe the 14th island will be the final wish or a ton of tickets at the end. The sun theme has 0/14 next to it in the prize list so it must be on its way.

I was thinking about that. If we can buy 14 of a theme (not that I would ever want to do that) there must be another island on the way.

But I hope it's not the wish. I hope for a bigger Hibernation Cave and more spots in the Nursery.

I did some testing with my BFS tickets this morning.

Tickets collected for the day: 420
Tickets until max: 80
Total tickets before: 1995
Daily Max: 2075

BFS tickets available: 300 (200 + 100 from challenges, FWIW)


Collect BFS tickets. Get a notification that I'm at my max and that 220 tickets are being placed in my gifts


Current tickets: 2075
BFS tickets available: 320


I forced quit dragonvale and re-opened the social menu to confirm this. I'm sure there's some logic behind all this but I haven't had my morning coffee yet.

I think I can draw a definitive conclusion from that: It's broken and busted, let's exploit it. It's really interesting how different parks get different amounts of glitched tickets from this.

Skitch seems to have hit the jackpot with +721, meaning he never has to collect again. Likewise, my park gets +656 every time.

My baby park gets +400, and yours seems to get only +100, which I guess is still useful. Maybe it depends on how many banked tickets you had at some specific point in time.
