So. Anyone who hasn't updated yet want to trade artifacts? I'm trying to create more megas before I do the update, but my collection is somewhat asymmetrical.
I need: (Blow Fly, Fruit Fly), (Peridotite, Bauxite), (Quartz, Turquoise, Amethyst)
I have: Horse Fly, Basanite, Serpentinite, Dunite, Sapphire, Orange Silk
I also have quite a few artifacts to trade for ones I need. I need amethyst, bauxite, and a purple silk. I think I already traded with you lunboks but does anyone else went to trade?
I have mostly flies to trade but I also have an orange silk.
Pm me on Facebook if interested. Email for Facebook shadokat@comcast.net, park name shadokat.

Just popped on to comment on some changes that happened. I can say that the Airship isn't asking for less with the new prices. I was asked for 30 cheeky flowers despite them rlyaking 2 hours each now, so it looks like I need to keep an inventory, but judging from the numbers I saw, it'll be an uphill battle if it takes 60 hours to gather some materials for the ship.
I also noticed there is no bonus % anymore, so there are no more wheel spins.

That's actually insane. I can only assume that they greatly increased storage capacity in that case, right? Because 325 items (maximum in v1.5.2) is nowhere near enough to keep every item stocked to a useful degree.
Otherwise, I think you'd basically need like 30 alt accounts, and keep each one stocked with lots of one specific item.
When I send the airship off, I look at what it want the next time. I can see that when it comes back, it want Palm frond, Mini vortex and Ashen orb. So I got my dragons to collect some of them, until the ship returns. So as many as they can get, in 8 hours. So when it comes back, I have some of them already, and can collect the rest in the 15 hours, before it takes off again
(Don't think I'm the only one who came up with that idea )
Oh I normally gather my materials between ships as well, but the new increased gather times make 3 issues:
- It is incredibly difficult to build up an inventory when all the materials take so long.
- As mentioned above, it asked for 30 flowers at 2 gours per flower. even with the 16 hour docking time and 8 hir shipping time, I need atleast 2.5 times that amount of time to collect the materials
- If you need to collect 2 different materials from the same location, this makes it significantly less likely you'll get the airship.

When i updated the game, the ship wanted a lot of stuff. But the next ship, did'nt need that much stuff. So maybe the next ship is better? Or maybe I was just lucky with that ship.
But yes, I agree, it has become a lot harder, if you dont already have the most of it :/
My challenge is Airships, and I already know I wont make the goal. First Airship asked for 10 Cloud Puff, 15 Jungle Loam and 7 Faceted Jewels, all of which take eay more than 8 hours to complete so unless I sink hundreds of gems into reducig gather and airship return times it wont happen. Im guessong the last step will be 15 airships.
That's awesome. And impressive that they're supporting a version that's basically ancient at this point.
The market doesn't seem to be split between versions (at least not entirely - I'm on 1.5.2 and I can see the super-expensive items from 1.6.0 players), so I wonder if this listing would actually show up for updated players.
My final step for the DC event is just over 26 million DC, with an Enchanted Rime as reward. I don't have that, so hopefully I can check in more often and collect enough DC!

Dont know if it has always been like this, but if I send my airship away in the evening, and look at the game again like 10 hours later, the airship gives me 16 hours. Like it start counting, when I look at the game again.
Atm I have no troubles finishing the airships.
If I have, I only use less gems, than I get by finish the ship. So I dont lose anything, and have a chance to get the next ship with a higher gain
Not liking the new update. The airships are not even close to worth it anymore. I assume they want me to dump gems into this. (Not a chance that will happen.) The personal challenges are still far too much. Most of the time I can barely get half way to 2nd goal. Drastically nerfed the gem producers. I can see that but doesn't need to be this much lower. 1 a day is a good amount.
I like the dragon storage building though. Great addition. Best addition IMO is the breeding hints included with the dragon stats. LOVE that addition. Doesn't make it easier to breed but gives you some direction. Previously it was just guess work.
I also just got a message in my inbox with 1000 gems from Backflip. Odd.

I actually like the new update in a way, besides the op selling prices of items and the removal of mega dragons. I actually look at it the opposite way many people are looking at it. Food Airships come less frequently, and when they do, I look at it as a no-gem airship as I have to replant and speed the 4h crops for 16 gems when the double food event comes back, gaining back the lost food. Otherwise it's basically earning 10 gems per ship (15 - 5). I use Silvia's trading post and alt accounts to gain missing items.

Yeah the grm dragons were nerfed to about 1/20 of what they were (level one they make 0.05 gems instead of 1. Level twenty they make 1 instead of 5 I believe).
I think ita a bit too much. I just poured millions of food into my Deadwood to get it to L15 and I get .75 gems a day, after millions and millions of coins, planting, waiting...

I guess it's kind of comparable to DragonVale. Gem dragons there only produce 0.14 gems/day. You don't have to feed the v1.6.0 Dragonsais very much to match that.
Not to mention you get them for free instead of having to grind out 3% breeding combos.
