I have Magic Eggs remaining in my Gifts Menu. Will these be added to my total when the event ends?
Here’s the scoop. After the event ends, any Magic Eggs stored in your Gift Menu must be collected in order to be added to your total. You can collect a max of 1,000 Magic Eggs per day from your Gifts Menu after the event ends.
So banking is limited to 7000 eggs this time. This stinks. I guess 7000 is better than nothing, but I managed to do about 17k last event and I was hoping that diligent banking could carry me through this again.
At least they're telling us in advance instead of it being a nasty surprise when the event ends.

I have to say after 4 years of loving the game, this event and the impossible breeding rates of the past year have definitely made it not fun. I also am struggling to max eggs, being forced to party hat visit and grind plants. Maybe the last event spoiled me, 2 hours to play nothing but the memory game, collect a few habitats and we were done for the day. The dragon/egg todo list keeps getting longer and longer .. I actually feel bad about sending all these fails to poor noodles over the months
Yup, and I was grinding sandstorm in 2 places until Quartz came out. Now I've got CBC breeding for new chrysalis, island breeding for quartz, and cave still grinding sandstorms. That made my total take a hit as well since I wasn't consistently getting that extra 20. But I've never had to even bother grinding Sandstorms before, so I still feel like this event's limit is harder to hit for some reason!

A: That stinks.
B: Maybe this is why we get that annoying pop up when you collect gems after you've hit the limit for the day... they're preparing for when you have to actually collect the extra gifts instead of everything just getting added.
I guess this means its not worth banking a ton of friends gifts, might as well start using some towards your total.

I just got a 48 hr egg. Please tell me it's a new dragon. I bred chrisilas with marbletail. This event isn't enjoyable. The Faire was fun because I felt like I was making progress and was able to max out every day. I'm really struggling with this event. for those of you doing well, congrats. For those of you in the same boat koala
Sorry mate, it is either a Rainbow or a DR (CBC or upgraded cave/island).
I got a Rainbow trying for Quartz yesterday.
Ahhhhhh I knew it! It was too good to be true. Now my coop is busy for the next 48 hrs

Good to know. But I agree it stinks. I do really well on banking, but if the spreadsheet is correct we cannot get all the dragons. Does anyone know for sure which 2 dragons are needed to breed all 5?
In light of this updated banking information, how should I withdraw eggs from the bank? If I recall correctly there were issues with using banked eggs. Was it if you wanted 20 eggs, it'll end up taking 25 eggs from a friend no matter what?

BFS's banked egg comes in individually so you would want to collect the 20 eggs from their tash first.
Your friend's gift comes in bundle of 25 egg, if you only need 8 eggs to max out for the day, collecting the 8 eggs from your friend will reduce his tash by 25 instead of 8.
Ok, I bred a monolith (1 or 2), and I already had one, so I made it a pedestal. I thought it would be counted towards the items in Silken section. It didn't. What monolith is required to be counted?
As with most others, I'm struggling on this event. I'd almost rather not go after dragons and instead get the Epic statue and Lost Island I missed long ago. I bought a Monolith habitat when I saw the fifth in this event, but noted it didn't count as having one in the gifts area, which stinks. Bred an Ovalith at least, many days wasted in failures there.
Long story short, is anyone available for me to friend request that is sporting some new dragons or monolith dragons to bread with? I'd appreciate the help. As it is now, most my friends gave up playing even before the CBC came in.

I think this is the key question, and we can only wonder, considering the message we get about it sometimes on the loading screen. I still want to know if the two requisite parents can continue to breed the Chrysalis offspring after the event, or if we can only epic clone them. That would make a difference in how I spend my MEs.

Well, that's unfortunate. I've already banked 2502... So I'm guessing I won't have to try so hard from now on. Really reduces the chances of me getting even the things on my already drastically cut down wish list. Boo... But as you say, I'm glad to know now, rather then when I've spent the rest of the event banking more eggs than I can use!
If only I could have even a little luck with chrysalis.... I don't know what algorithm they use to decide which egg you get while breeding, but I wish it had some kind of pity point system - like this person has been trying for a whole week, I'll give them a slightly higher chance at it.... Sigh...

You need at least 3 Chrysalis dragons to breed the other 2. Specifically, any 3 that aren't parent/parent/offspring.
For example, if you have Chrysalis, Duskwing, Lacewing, then you're already stuck and can't make anything new from that.

Check out the Coop Thread, the front page lists what people are currently sharing now. Feel free to request any dragon you think you might need, and someone will help you out! I know that plenty of people (including me!) are sharing the new Chrysalis dragons, and after the event there will still probably be a lot sharing them. As for monoliths, a couple people are definitely sharing now.
Many on this forum agree that its better to collect big ticket decorations and buildings instead of dragons, because you can always breed the dragons later but it takes a long time for the decorations to become available again. It is up to the individual player, but i think the dragons can probably all be coop bred, so it's good to get the epic statue and lost island first if you want them.
koala!

Yes, I understand that aspect of it. But I'm guessing that it is easier to breed, for example, a Chrysalis with a Lacewing to get a Duskwing than it is to epic clone someone else's Duskwing from a random epic that I have. So if we can continue to breed the two chrysalis parents for the designated chrysalis offspring after the event, then I would probably spend MEs on Chrysalis and Duskwing, and get the free Marbletail, with the intent of breeding Lacewing and Swallowtail after the event from those three that I have. But if we can only epic clone after the event, then I'll probably want to coordinate with friends as to which ones we each purchase with MEs, and try to epic clone with each other after the event. I really hope that's not going to be the only option we have when this event is over.
I'm really curious about the meaning of that claim on the loading screen though. The only logical thing I can take from that is that somehow it must be possible to breed more than one chrysalis type dragon from two chrysalis parents?
PS, thanks for pointing that out about the limits on banking. I would not have noticed that, and would have been quite upset to discover it at the end! Like you said, at least they told us ahead of time. I do think they overcorrected on the difficulty level of this event after the last one, which was much too easy.
I think "sixth sense" refers to a new Aura dragon. Are we taking a bet on this anywhere?
I think it would be a clever play on words which makes it as likely or even more likely then a 6th monolith. The only reason I'm not sure is that there is no Aura habitat available. So for new players who weren't able to get one last event, they would be out of luck, unless they make the habitat available at the same time.
