Gardenia's Gathering of Roses - 2016

[NinjaKiwi.]

Finally got a Serenity in the nursery! These Auras are proving rather elusive...

I guess it's about time to plan the weekend strategy for spending roses and greeting the new arrival!  I expect the new dragon to cost about 6,750 roses since every other surprise dragon has taken the weekend's earnings and a little over.  So 3 days of doubles and a little of the stash has been the pattern as far as I can tell with Tidal and Muse.  I'm hoping to buy the last two dragons and the limited dragon with earnings and pick up the 2nd aura habitat with banked roses.  It'll be tight and in a couple of parks Ire will have to be bred later.  Anyone else cooking up a good plan?

I don't know if you'd call mine a plan. I'm just implementing lessons learned. I've been able to max every day, so I bought the two habitats, the first two dragons and the decor I still didn't have. NO PEDESTALS. I'm now breeding the first two dragons, hoping for Auras. Thanks to the Skitch tutorial, I maxed the bank at 10000+ roses (gifts + BFS surplus), so for now I have enough to buy the next two dragons with normal day income and am gunning to keep double-day income for any surprises. So far, and considering the feedback on difficulty, I haven't splurged gems, preferring to "budget" Kairos...

I've actually not had great results no matter how I state things. However, as a mother of 8, I have had to use the phrase "Don't whine" way too often. 

As a father of 6, I can say that I have had to do the same!
Here's to large families!!!

Dont think I have a "plan"....maybe I do.

Traded in my roses for Serenity, Aura habitat, and bred Melancholy.  Keeping the roses close waiting to see how the event unfolds.  

I should have enough roses for the dragons, and prizes.  However, don't  think I will have enough roses for 2 Berrywhite trees, Bouquet Bubbler, or the Archway.  When I decorate I tend to have several of same decorations on the same island.  One is just lonely.  

Honestly, I don't have room for a 2nd Aura habitat.  Don't have space in the HC or Storage Tower.  I sound like a broken record. I know, facing the same dilemma.

rulilind , is this an "Official" Whine?

Your commiserations are generally efficacious, but do they get the Results of a cyncere sincere "Official Whine" (cheese appreciated)?

I've actually not had great results no matter how I state things. However, as a mother of 8, I have had to use the phrase "Don't whine" way too often. I usually try instead to let others know that they are not alone in their lack of success. That someone is hoping for their success. I guess it is true that "misery loves company." Although I feel bad that others are having trouble, it is encouraging to know that I am not alone.

So, Not a Whine? Maybe you should try it - just within the confines of our forum?

No doubles today? I thought we were expecting that....

I expected the Valentine dragon, but wasn't expecting doubles.

[Poops10]

No aura's either in both parks. So officially whining X2. Lol

[Buffy]

No gifts tonight please.

I will return them the min I see them, and also give you a .    

10 late gifts =  250 roses = a Serenity Pedestal.

Thank you!

At the moment I am filled with Ire and quite Melancholy, but I would experience great Serenity and be filled with Delight, if I could only breed some Aura Dragons. Actually I would like a Moonstruck, Rose and Lunar Eclipse in my small park

In the past, that should have been enough, but if kydolind and wapatango promise not to report me to the rest of the family, WHINE, WHINE, WHINE, WHINE. This is only a test.

Edit: I forgot to add, this is an "official" whine. It is a test of the DragonVale Community Forum Whine System. It is only a test.

[Mr. Bones]

Whining never seems to work for me.

Maybe because I already am salty 100% of the time, so it doesn't even register.

I got my Delight dragon a few days ago and have been breeding nonstop since for the second one (I try to have an adult and baby of every dragon) - with no success. And this morning, Bingo! A twin Delight from SnuggleTM! Thanks Snugs!

Cheers,
Poppy

So the limited time dragon has got to be released this weekend, doesn't it? I'm going to guess that since it was listed in the app update as: "...and a limited time surprise dragon" that it literally is going to be a Surprise Dragon. Wagers anyone?

look at this Nostradamus over here

[GoldenFire]

Surprise Dragon for 5,995 roses.

[dellinda]

And no double roses weekend Does anyone know combination for Surprise?

[macizoe]

and no doubles......

[skeeter622]

I may buy this surprise dragon. I don't want any pressure this weekend:)

Or you can try to breed it with a combo of any four elements.

So Firefly/Scorch + Seaweed/Swamp for lowest average fail times
